Think about it\u2026Adam and Eve hid themselves from God after they sinned\u2026why?<\/h6>\n
Listen\u2026<\/h6>\n
Adam walked with God in the cool of the day\u2026until he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil\u2026then Adam died\u2026<\/h6>\n
He saw that he was naked; he saw that Eve was naked, and when God came to walk with him, Adam hid himself because he was afraid\u2026<\/h6>\n
Genesis 3:8New King James Version (NKJV)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.<\/em><\/h6>\n
It wasn\u2019t just because he had disobeyed what God had told him not to do\u2026 that was a big part but part of it was because now Adam knew evil\u2026and he could not stand in the presence of an ALL, GOOD, God, anymore because of the evil he now could see\u2026God\u2019s essence is so different, so powerful, so brilliant, like nothing we can even imagine\u2026 Adam could no longer physically, (because he was now dead, spiritually and physically, but it would take time for his body to return to the dust.) But now, Adam knew what evil was, and he now knew what good was, and the evil in him could no longer stand in the Goodness of God\u2019s presence. Adam now had the knowledge of Good and Evil.<\/h6>\n
Then the <\/em>Lord<\/em> God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the <\/strong><\/em>Lord<\/em> God commanded the man, saying, \u201cOf every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> Genesis 2:15-17 <\/em>New King James Version (NKJV)<\/em><\/h6>\n
When\u2026<\/h6>\n
God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, which was a representation of God\u2026God caused a natural bush to burn with a super-natural fire and it did not consume the bush. It was God\u2019s way of getting Moses\u2019 attention. And because God is Holy, he told him to take off his shoes. Moses\u2019 shoes representing evil. Not that his shoes were evil but it was God\u2019s way of saying, your humanness is not like my Holiness\u2026<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the mountain of God.<\/em> There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement. Though the bush was engulfed in flames, it didn\u2019t burn up. \u201cThis is amazing,\u201d Moses said to himself. \u201cWhy isn\u2019t that bush burning up? I must go see it.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
When the <\/em>Lord<\/em> saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush, \u201cMoses! Moses!\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cHere I am!\u201d Moses replied.<\/em><\/h6>\n
\u201cDo not come any closer,\u201d the <\/em>Lord<\/em> warned. \u201cTake off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.<\/em> I am the God of your father\u2014the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.\u201d When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God. <\/em>Exodus 3:1-6 <\/em>New Living Translation (NLT)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
When\u2026<\/h6>\n
God said he\u2019d meet with Moses and the people at the mountain, and it shook with God\u2019s power and smoke rose from the mountain\u2026thundering and lightning sounded, and the people were afraid and said, \u201cNo, Moses you talk to God for us.\u201d Imagine how powerful God\u2019s presence must be. He cloaked himself in a mountain and the people were still afraid. Read Exodus 19-20.<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
God\u2019s essence is so powerful that man cannot look on God and live. Moses wanted to see God face to face\u2026but God told Moses, \u201cOK, but you\u2019ll have to hide yourself in the crack of the rock and as I pass by you can see just a glimpse of my glory\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
Moses responded, \u201cThen show me your glorious presence.\u201d<\/em> The <\/em>Lord<\/em> replied, \u201cI will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.<\/em> But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.\u201d The Lord continued, \u201cLook, stand near me on this rock. As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen.\u201d Exodus 33:18-23 <\/strong>New Living Translation (NLT)<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n
We\u2019ve seen movies of penetrating light that can melt buildings and people in one flash\u2026 that is man\u2019s idea of power\u2026just think about it\u2026God\u2019s power is a trillion times greater than anything we can come up with or imagine.<\/h6>\n
Can you grasp the concept of God\u2019s power? No! We can\u2019t. And yet as frail humans we shake our fists at God, use his name in vain, say he doesn\u2019t exist, make golden images of idols, to worship and bow down to, out of His creation and claim we know more than He does\u2026how insane is that??? How \u201cstupid.\u201d<\/h6>\n
Man maybe has a 100 year life span\u2026Age deteriorates the body and mind\u2026disease and sickness strips the body of life\u2026medicine is only a temporary fix, it helps but does not give life\u2026<\/h6>\n
So,<\/h6>\n
What in the world gives man the idea that he is more powerful than God? Of all the great men that have ever lived\u2026where are they today?<\/h6>\n
And all the so called great men of today\u2026where will they be in 100 years if they live that long?<\/h6>\n
God will still be God, He never changes. He will always be. But man will go back to the dust\u2026where God created him.<\/h6>\n
The only thing that lives forever is the soul. God gave man a living soul.<\/h6>\n
The soul will live in one of two places\u2026Heaven or Hell\u2026<\/h6>\n
We have a choice\u2026<\/h6>\n
In order for man to walk with God once more, God cloaked himself in a body of flesh. He was born, He died and He resurrected.<\/h6>\n
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.<\/em> And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[<\/sup>his Spirit who lives in you.<\/em> Romans 8:10-11 <\/em>New International Version (NIV)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
God made a way for man to walk and talk and live and have a relationship once more with Him through the plan of sending His only son, Jesus.<\/h6>\n
We don\u2019t have to hide or be afraid of God anymore. And God no longer has to shield us from His glory\u2026for His glory lives right inside of us.<\/h6>\n
God the Father all Powerful, Jesus the Son by His blood we are washed, and the Holy Spirit revealer of Jesus, they are three in one\u2026<\/h6>\n
God created the Universe hung the stars, moon and sun\u2026<\/h6>\n
Controls the wind and the sea\u2026created man and He lives in you and me\u2026<\/h6>\n
His brilliance\u2026His essence\u2026His atomic energy gives us LIFE!!!<\/h6>\n
When God comes calling\u2026do not hide\u2026run to walk with Him!!!<\/h6>\n
Do not be afraid\u2026He is Good, He is Love\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus\/Yeshua\u2026New birth\u2026.New life\u2026<\/h6>\n
Draw close to Him, let Him draw close to you…<\/h6>\n
AMEN!!! Run to God!!!<\/h6>\n
