To begin any discussion about our King of Kings, we must first engage our conversation around the fact that He has no blood line of a commoner or of royal descent. No human being is able to take hold of Him and declare that he or she knows the man! Not God, that is.
When we bring Him into our realm of being humans, we decrease Him to our complexities. Number 23:19…God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man that He should repent: has He said, and shall He not do it? or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? These scriptures are dear to me in that these two are the ones He used to reveal revelations about Himself. Another great scripture is Daniel 11: 32b… but the people that know their God shall (1) be strong, (2) do exploits.
In order to know Who and What He Is, let us understand what He isn’t; then we will know and understand how to approach Him appropriately. The scriptures tell us to utter nothing hastily before Him. If we view Him as an ordinary man, we approach Him as if He has human flaws/weaknesses. His description of Himself plainly states: (Isaiah 55:8)…For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord! (9) For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (11) So shall my word be that goes out of my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
All men lie or have lied to some degree or another whether in the form of white lies, jesting, or plain exaggeration, they were lies. Our fallen state brought us to that place. This same Isaiah on a given day came face to face with the true and living God; he cried Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; For mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts! God is love, but He is also the Spirit of absolute truth, He has no guile. Satan, according to scripture is a spirit and was described by God as the father of lies.
Having said all this, we can begin our walk in discovering Him, knowing that He is a Spirit and must be approached in truth. Truth and righteousness get His attention, that’s Who He Is! ( We will meet here again on our next visit.)
