The Vastness of the Knowledge of Gods Person

February 1, 2012
A number of years ago I was caught up in a trance type experience in which the Lord
spoke to me concerning the knowledge of God.
In the experience I was shown a truth in obvious parabolic language designed to
illustrate the greatness of who the Lord is and our need for continuing revelation that we
might know Him.
I found myself standing on a seashore and, by living understanding, knew that every
grain of sand in the entire universe was on this shore. I then saw the Lord standing to
my right on the shore. He was holding a single blue grain of sand between His index
finger and thumb on His right hand. Looking me in the eyes, He told me that this blue
grain of sand represented the knowledge of God. He declared that for the past eight
thousand years mankind has been gazing into this one grain. He then held out His left
hand to me which was filled with sand. He then told me that these grains represent the
revealed things which are for us now! He motioned toward all the sand of the universe
on the shore and said that all that sand represent the beginning of the Knowledge of
God of eternity.
I often ponder this experience and always it reminds me of the greatness, vastness, and
unfathomableness of His marvelous Person. One thing is very clear to me in the living
understanding which was imparted to me in this experience: in order to know Him as He
truly is, it demands that He reveal Himself. Knowing information is entirely different
when compared to God revealing Himself spirit to spirit. Much or all of what comes to
us, even through the voice of creation, is finite, limited, and distorted by our own carnal
minds. He desires to make Himself known to us, but the channel of revelation is by His
Spirit unto our inward redeemed spirit man. Thus, mans history is filled with deception,
misunderstanding, and imaginative tales or fables which misrepresent the One true
living GodFather, Son and Holy Spirit. He is altogether unlike any of His creation, and
only in redeemed mankind has He formed for Himself a dwelling place called the New
Creation.
To say that we will be forever in School, the school of Christ, may be one way of looking
at the ongoingness of our learning of Him, but we must not leave out the inward union
and intimacy that this demands. It is communion, it is by unveiled beholding, and it is
through eating and partaking that He is truly made known. So lets set our hearts to
believe, receive, and enjoy the relationship He offers to us in Christ Jesus.
