God is real, to those who believe.

If we do not believe then He is not real to us. God is available to those who believe!

In the old covenant, God was perceived as their ever present help in trouble, among other things. One of which was that fire can come down onto the altar if God desires to show Himself strong to the people. In the New Covenant the thing was enlarged in greater ways. In the New Covenant its perceived that He can actually restore us and re-create us individually! God to us is precisely what we perceive Him to be, so long as what we perceive are those things that are actually in Him and of Him. Faith of itself cannot create these things. Until faith connects with the existing truth of God, faith stands alone and is a dead thing. We cannot create God, neither can we create new and innovative things about Him. His Faith within us once we have believed unto righteousness can quicken [us-ward], those things that are actually in and of Him!

I am that I am, is what God spoke to Moses. This statement is pregnant and loaded with meaning in the Hebrew texts. One of the things this statement is loaded with is this; I am all that you can believe Me for! Moses was being given largeness in his consciousness that he was soon going to need! God deals with individuals! God does not deal with groups of individuals! Thats a religious notion and it leads to group arrogance and religious pride.

God does not do group-love, He does individual-love! God does not see organizations or religious systems that we call our churches. This may be disappointing to some of us.

God sees the hearts of individuals! This is basic but its important that we keep these things straight in our minds and hearts. This information helps to with-hold any group-pride or group-arrogance from developing.

To mankind God has been revealed in the following ways and more. He can be my best friend, He can be the lifter of my guilt, He can be the lifter of my head, He can be my restorer, He can be my salvation, He can be my deliverer, He can be my healer both emotionally and physically, He can be my help in troubled times, He can be my sanctification, He can be my empowerment, and He can be the essence of Love in me for all of mankind! I am that I am He says! I am what you can believe Me for! This is simply what and who I am! I simply am and dont forget it!
