What does God look like?

 

My thoughts: book notes:

                Symbols – material things used to outwardly express who I am in Christ – completely unnecessary.  No crucifix or painting-it is far more valuable to share your time with someone in need than it is to give your life for someone else. God can breathe life back into your body, but never, can God rewind time. God cannot “undo”; only change or create that which is already done.

(Now this is not to take away from John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. – that’s Jesus talking to the disciple about how He’s laying down His life for them and us. This is more about the world and its superstitious pagan ways of tons of religious relic jewelry posters paintings crosses Jesus’ mother Mary saint this saint that etc. all junk. From tattoos to gaudy necklaces and rings and all that useless crap the entertainers wear. Just stupid and means nothing to God. It means the world to the person wearing it though and whatever twisted mixed up message they have to tell the world. In other words, if you’re living one way and flashing all this trash in another, it’s confusing and does not benefit God, it just feeds the enemy’s ploy to create divide from the Truth. We now know that symbols literally is all over the place in predictive programming MK ultra and literally everything we see in this manipulative world. Notice Jesus never wore any jewelry or crosses or anything! Because He Is the Truth! And if we’re representing Him; scripture is it! Actions behind scripture is it! Standing on Scripture is it!

Come Unto Me - Take 6

My thoughts; book notes continue –

                No crucifix or painting should ever capture the truth of the Word. There is no record in human history of the ‘face of God’ and no symbolism necessary to remember His Son because He exists through the life and actions of every living thing. (Preach! People say well what does He look like? This IS what GOD looks like! He looks like love He looks like kindness He looks like faith! He looks like all things good in the world! He looks like grace! He looks like passion! He looks a sinner’s place redeemed at the Holy table at the banquet of God the Son! He looks like a dwelling for the Holy Spirit, He looks like cleanliness, He looks like righteousness and He looks like the opposite of everything you and me pretend to be. HE LOOKS LIKE REALITY! We look like fools. Desperate in our sins wallowing and wading in the waters of disease poverty and hopelessness. This is NOT what God looks like. He looks like help! He looks like a lending hand out of trouble, He looks like a way out, He looks like fire when we’re cold and He looks like rain when our crops are dry. I wish I could describe him to you, but He’s indescribable, yeah!)

So if you’re looking for love, look no further than the swelling of the Spirit in your heart.
