I Am God Your Personal God

Our Father in heaven, we've come to worship you, dear God, in spirit and in truth.

We thank you, Father, for freedom of worship in this country.

Help us to do all we can for the gospel while it lasts, because it will not always be there.

We thank you for your sons and daughters who love you and who love your word and have come to hear the word and to fellowship 1 with another.

If we have sinned against you father forgive us.

That's why there's Calvary to provide forgiveness.

Let me be hidden and let Jesus Christ be seen.

Let something I say reach every listening heart I pray.

If others are on their way, bring them safely dear God.

Our subject for this evening, a personal God.

Say for me Genesis 1 verse 1, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Now let's read that again microscopically.

The question may be asked, how did he do that?

We go to verse 3, and God said, let there be light and there was light.

We learn immediately that God is an intelligent being.

God is not energy because energy does not speak.

God said And he's a personality with a word that is powerful and God said, let there be light and there was light.

You look at verse 6, It's the same thing and God said, let there be a firmament.

Verse 9, and God said, let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto 1 place.

Look at verse 11, and God said, let the earth bring forth grass.

Verse 14, and God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.

So we are introduced to a God who speaks.

An intelligent being possesses the faculty of speech.

That's why we were made in God's image, the animals were not.

Now if you have my version, the KJV, you may read aloud.

If you have a different version don't read aloud because we'll have a little confusion and all things should be done decently and in order.

So if you have my version, the King James Version, you may feel free to read aloud.

And the Father also which hath sent me hath borne witness of me.

Neither heard his voice, come on, nor at any time, nor seen his shape.

Now, what we discovered in Genesis 1, Christ mentioned in John 5, God has a voice.

But Christ says you've neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his shape.

And we can come to some fairly tantalizing conclusions about God's form because we were made in his image.

In the book Patriarchs and Prophets, page 45, paragraph 2, Elowite writes, man was to bear God's image both in outward resemblance and in character.

Now Moses said to God in Exodus 33, show me thy glory.

And God told him in verse 20, they can no man see my face and live.

In Exodus 33, in verse 23, after God told Moses, I'll put you in the cleft of the rock, and he said in verse 23, I will take away my hand and thou shall see my back parts, but my face shall not be seen.

So in verse 23 of Exodus 33, we have 3 things mentioned about God.

He has a face, he has a hand, he has a back part as opposed to his friend.

When you're in difficulty and in trouble, talk to a person.

Micah 7, 1 of those minor prophets that most preachers don't ever preach from.

So it takes a little while to find Micah.

Who is a God like unto thee that does what?

That pardoneth iniquity and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage.

Now, what do we learn about god in that verse?
