The Bible Series: Drawing Close To God: Genesis 1

When God Speaks Into Your Life 

Genesis 1:1 New King James Version (NKJV)

The History of Creation

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

New King James Version (NKJV)

This year, 2019 is coming into a CLOSE ! God has dealt with me that as we close this year He wants us to focus on HIM and begin with Him… Sometimes when we look at beginnings we assume that it has to be with money, cars, clothes, and fame.. but the BIBLE says in The Message,

Proverbs 20:21 The Message (MSG)

The Very Steps We Take

21 A bonanza at the beginning
    is no guarantee of blessing at the end.

So you may not be going into 2020 with a BMW or having your face in New York Times Square but keep going with GOD. Because even David and Joseph  had to start somewhere…. And DAVID was in waiting for decades.  

***

Genesis 1:1 tells us  GOD created the heavens and the earth. As we draw close to GOD we see that we must KNOW who He is (Proverbs 9:10). As you begin to develop a relationship with God you have to acknowledge and reverence Him so that you may get prayer and life results.

But How Does This Draw Me Close To Him

Well lets look at these seven points:

  • Point 1: When God speaks into your life according to Genesis 1:2, sometimes its when we are formless and empty. Sometimes it’s when there is darkness from a bad relationship or at a time where WE need a supernatural deliverance. The Bible says in Mark,

Mark 2:17 English Standard Version (ESV)

17 And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

And He says in Matthew,

Matthew 21:31 English Standard Version (ESV)

31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you.

English Standard Version (ESV)

  • Point 2: Because of this we know that because HE came to you while you were yet in sin, in darkness… God is showing that HE sees GOOD in you according to Genesis 1:3-5.

A lot of times when it comes to ministry, a relationship with God, and big time names we think that those people are the only ones who can talk to God… but there are some anonymous, nameless, and unknown hero’s in the BIBLE. There are even some books in The Bible that tells us that the Author is Unknown (See the NLT STUDY BIBLE). So we have to understand that our relationship with GOD and if we are going to inherit the Kingdom of God is based on US . Faith without works is dead.

  • Point 3: Genesis 1:10 shows us that man cannot dictate WHO or WHEN God calls. The Bible says in Proverbs 8,

Proverbs 8:17 English Standard Version (ESV)

17 I love those who love me,
    and those who seek me diligently find me.

…. This shows me that whoever LOVES God will receive what He has for them… but you have to focus on HIM and rely on HIM as he takes you through the process of being transformed and renewed in God.

  • Point 4 : Genesis 1:6-11 NLT discusses SPACE. When you begin to draw closer to GOD he will begin to create SPACE. In your life, he will purge out all those who are wicked and evil. He is going to teach you BOUNDARIES and HEALTHY CHRIST LIKE GOALS as you begin to move forward in this life. We are living in the last days … God does not want you living with the spirit of fear but in THE FEAR OF GOD (PROVEBRS 9:10).
  • Point 5:Genesis 1:7 When GOD is forming and making you into who HE has called you to be He is going to speak over you prophetically and sing over you. WHAT GOD has spoken over you MUST come to pass…it has to. It MUST. And whether they receive it or not they will know that a prophet has been among them.

Ezekiel 2:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 And whether they listen or refuse to listen—for remember, they are rebels—at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.

New Living Translation (NLT)

  • Point 6: Genesis 1:9-12 says “the land produced vegetation.”  When God produces something it is formed for a purpose. As you draw close to God, He is going to begin to form you into your purpose. Whether it is to be a TEACHER to be a intercessor for children… Whether it is to be a Gym Teacher to be a GOD sent intercessor for children against bullying. Or whether it is to be a  Counselor to lead children to CHRIST and to pray… Whatever your purpose is on this earth… when YOU draw close to God his purpose in you MUST be fulfilled and revealed.
  • Point 7: Throughout Genesis 1 one of the secrets or mysteries is that we have to learn how to WAIT. Not to long ago God told me, “It is better to wait than for it not to happen at all.”  During the process and with God you have to wait and allow God to finish His GOOD work in YOU, He is going to perfect that which concerns you according to The WORD OF GOD.

Psalm 138:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

King James Version (KJV)

***

So today as the LORD moves in your life and you begin to move on into the next year… Be focused on GOD and be determined to read the entire BIBLE, the back of the BIBLE has yearly BIBLE study plans… Genesis 1 will draw you closer to GOD and push you into the secret place so that GOD will form your purpose.

Should I Date HIM?

2 Corinthians 6:14-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

The Temple of the Living God

14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil[a]? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?

In The State Of The Church

We are in a hard state of transition… and it is not easy. As God is raising a John The Baptist and a tie with the Apostolic Church, there is a certain type of GROANING that has to take place… Even in our personal lives as it comes with dating there is a GROANING that has to take place.

We have many people in ministry who “talk” about dating and Christianity but lets be honest.. Most of us know that they are living double lives and what they preach is not matching up to their daily living.

With That Being Said

As a single woman myself I want to talk about some MAJOR signs that disqualify a man from being your godly spouse.

1. Is He Disrespectful To His Mother?

Believe it or not… I have encountered men that have literally beat their mothers. I have heard the testimony of a woman who son beat his mother and she accepted him back (which I DO NOT agree with) and I have encountered a man in my own dating life who said him and his mother used to fistfight… Needless to say God ended that quickly.

Because of this, we know that we are REALLY living in the Last Days. Now I used to hear about the Last Days growing up, but I really didn’t care about it because… well my childhood did not match up to what was put out on social media.

But as a Young Adult who is a SINGLE woman, through my dating life and daily encounters I see that we are really living in the LAST DAYS.

The Bible tells us,

Matthew 24:12 Good News Translation (GNT)

12 Such will be the spread of evil that many people’s love will grow cold.

****

Question: But what if his mother forgives him for beating her?

Answer: Ok… but what does that have to do with you?

The Bible says,

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 New International Version (NIV)

A Rebellious Son

18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

There is NO excuse for this ! Many people know that I was severely abused as child. My mother literally kicked me in my head growing up with her work shoes (she was a police officer) and GOD HIMSELF told me to not hit my mother.

If he would hit his mother… what would he do to you?

2. He calls himself a “prophet” , but he verbally abuses me.

Yup… been there and done that. This is one you have to be so careful with. The prophetic is a beautiful and supernatural thing… However, we are living in a time where many people LIE and call themselves prophets with NO FRUIT OR EVIDENCE that is who they really are. People want to be prophets for money, cars, and clothes yet they have NO IDEA what you have to go through…

For Example:

If you are a REAL prophet you should know what it’s like to be on the other side of the mountain.

You should know what its like to be literally groomed in the desert.

You should know what its like to survive with NO MONEY or phone and yet somehow God has provided food for you to eat (1 Kings 17:4) … If he cant truthfully talk about the W.I.L.D.E.R.N.E.S.S. then he ain’t a prophet.

***

You have to be so careful with a man who is verbally abusive and yet calls himself a prophet or minister of God. He could be functioning in the Spirit of Jezebel (which he got from being a homosexual). Also, as you draw closer to God HE WILL abuse you because He is jealous of you… It starts verbally than it leads physically…

3. He always wants to be on the PHONE but don’t want to work.

Girl… run the other direction. Sis I mean sprint buy some sneakers and sprint the other direction. The Bible says,

2 Thessalonians 3:10 New International Version (NIV)

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

I hate a lazy man, I really do.

Me personally, my body was always physically pushed to the Limit in the Marine Corps. I had to lose 27 pounds in a week and a half… and a few days later I was hiking 12 miles with a 40 pound pack on my back. I have had to carry men during exercises during physical training test. Also, I ended my Marine Corps Boot Camp Training with a fractured foot and pinched nerve in my spine and pushed through until I graduated….

So when I hear a grown man sob about working after he has slept all day! I cant… I’m not the one for it.

But God is daily humbling me as he grooms me into who He has called me to be.

With that being said,

Keep God first and really take heed to what I am saying. It really is time for us Christians to stop pretending in our personal lives and live up to a Christ like standard.

If He is any of these (this is ONLY for women… don’t play with me). Then let him go.

Well Will I Ever Have A Good Spouse

If you obey God then yes you will !

* Sometimes I hear in ministry , “obey the prophet” and they misuse the text from Hosea.

There was someone that I dated years ago… Now God warned me in a dream that He was not the man for me, but ofcourse I still went and did what I wanted.

But just like GOD said it didn’t work out.

God could not bless our sin. He wasn’t my David.

If you want a Boaz, the glean like Ruth.

If you want a good husband then act like it ! Start deleting old boyfriends numbers, stop stalking your ex’s page and asking him how he is doing. The Bible says that Faith Without Works Is Dead! If you want the spouse then act like it ! Amen ? Amen !

Eat and Drink ! Finding Joy In The Hard Times

Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 New International Version (NIV)

24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

Everyone goes through HARD TIMES, but what does The Bible say? I have learned to lack and experience overwhelming abundance! (Philippians 4:12-13 TPT)

When we go through hard times the devil has a knack of swarming you with lies to make you feel like God is no where to be found…. BUT LET ME tell you something. God is omnipresent which means He Is Everywhere… When our Lord Jesus Christ was being crucified He said very powerful things that show we have moments that we have to ask God… why?

  1. “Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do” – (Luke 23:34)
  2. “Nevertheless Not My Will, But Thine, Be Done.” – (Luke 22:42 KJV)
  3. “A kiss, Judas? Are You Really Going To Betray The Son of Man With A Kiss?” – (Luke 22:35 TPT)
  4. “You Are The Ones Who Say I Am.” – (Luke 22:70 TPT)
  5. “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.” – (Luke 23:28 NIV)
  6. “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” – Luke 23:43 NIV
  7. “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” – Luke 23:46 NIV

In life we go through cross carrying days. We have to. Sometimes all you can do is pray and rest.

When I Was In The Wilderness

In Lancaster, California… In the desert… On The other side of the Mountain I LEARNED how to be grateful and abound with nothing. In my hard times I learned how to enjoy the portions of food God gave me. If I am shopping at The Dollar Store for groceries or Whole Foods, I will STILL BLESS GOD. Today do not complain so much about money but focus on God. The Bible tells us that your wealth will sprout wings and go (Proverbs 23:5). You have to learn that The PROVISION of God carries you into places of Favor, Grace, and Promotion even your Salvation where MONEY will never carry you.

This Even Ties Into Marriage

God has shown me that 2020 is the year of Marriage… Now whether you keep your marriage past 40 days is up to you. What Does The Bible say? Money is the root of all evil . Would you let money be the downfall of your marriage?

***

Scenario: Lets says your future husband has a jealous banker…. and all of sudden. The Bank Account is frozen…. And the jealous banker is saying ” We don’t know when this is going to be worked out.”

Are you

A) Going To Leave your God sent husband like a fool and go chase your stupid old boyfriend

B) Stay With Him (your God sent husband), Pray and cover Him As God Works This Out… While Trusting God

C) Or choose B because its the correct answer.

..

Well if you chose B or C you passed the test. Amen? Amen .. In Jesus Name.

***

Let me tell you something, when you are dealing with money and banks it can TAKE YEARS for things to get worked out. It Can Take MONTHS… DAYS.. WEEKS…. That is not a excuse to abandon your future marriage.

So take these seasons of being moneyless to draw closer to God, because their could be a major reward waiting for you at the end of this test.

At The Name Of Jesus ….

I have been sick and close to death since my youth. I stand helpless and desperate before your terrors.
Psalms 88:15 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/psa.88.15.NLT

The Bible

The truth is most people don’t know that The Bible is healing for those who wrestle with depression. There were times when David felt so alone with his journey and walk with God. His wife (Michal ) married another man , his daughter was raped, and his own son tried to revolt against him. Yet David made God happy. Life is hard , but it’s even worst when you’re so focused on “people” and not on God. Understand something … DO NOT form a demonic isolation in your own life… but know that sometimes you have to unfollow some people on social media. Sometimes you HAVE to block and delete some numbers. You have to break cycles. You wonder why certain things keep happening year after year… God is showing you that it’s a cycle that needs to be broken. We have two months left in this year. Do you want to go into 2020 abused , broken, and dysfunctional? Give this to God and break the cycle. Reverse the curse In Jesus Name.

Prayer

God, I ask that you remove all abusive relationships out of my life. I ask that you break every cycle that is hindering me from moving foward and being prosperous. God I give you my life. Amen.

No other gods, only me.
Exodus 20:3 MSG
