I would like to share with you something which the Lord showed me this morning… I believe, (like Job) there are many of us who would like to come to His place… when we have problems that we’d like Him to solve for us.

Job 23: 3 (KJV) Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

Let’s listen to the Voice within the voice :

Let’s begin with a quote from the Message: 53-0907A – # 23 – Lord, Show Us The Father And It Sufficeth Us

Let’s take God in His universe, God in His Word, God in His Son and then bring God down in His people, and see if He isn’t here in His people too.Now, the first thing we want to think of is how that everybody has always longed to see God. Job wanted to see Him one time. He said, “Oh, that if I only knew….” In other words, “where He lived at. I could go knock on His door and He would let me in.“And then God told Job, He said “Gird up your loins,” for He was going to speak to Him, and God came down in a whirlwind, and He spoke to Job. And I like that part there. He said, “Where was you when I laid the foundations of the world?”

The next quote is from the Message: 55-0410M – # 9 – Proof Of His Resurrection

Now, as our text says, “They did not know Him,” and it’s the same thing today. But man has longed to know Him. Down through the age, they’ve longed to know Him. As our text this morning, My Redeemer Liveth, in the early Sunday service, we find out there that Job, as old as he was, and way back in the first, beginning, he longed to know his Creator. In other words, he said, “If I could go and knock on his door and talk to him.” How the human heart has longed for such things. And today, after four thousand, nearly five thousand years more, how much more the human heart today longs to go to His door, knock at His door, get acquainted with Him.

The next quote is from the Message: 62-0722 – # 22 – Show Us The Father And It Will Suffice Us

Now that’s been the cry of the human heart through all ages, is to see God. Job of old cried out, “If I only (in his distress), if I only knew where He lived, if I could go knock on his door and speak to Him….” Every man has wanted to know God and to see God. Job wanted to see Him. Moses wanted to know who that was in the burning bush. Then he said, “Show me your glory.” He wanted to see some manifestation, to know that it was God. And all of us do that. We all long to see something that’s real, something to prove that God is.And it’s to my humble way of thinking that it pleases the Father to show Himself, to manifest Himself. He loves his children. How I like to tell my children something, and make a requirement, and then see those children live right up to that; and I can show them something good.

I think we (at times) we want “God” and we to be able to sit down with Him and we want Him to have skin on Him. To be able to speak lip to ear, and to have Him speak lip to ear with us.

But, as we draw closer to Him in prayer, and reading His Word, there will eventually come a time in your life when you will have that kind of relationship.

Hallelujah. Shalom
