Get Personal with Our Father!

Most of us have an impersonal view of Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.  Take a moment what picture comes to mind, when you think of each Person of the GodHead?  For myself, at one time the only one I could picture was Jesus.  The scriptures show us That each Person of the GodHead wants a personal relationship with us.  The way I live today is dwelling or being cocooned in Their Love for me, so a mental picture is vital for me.  One might say, no one has seen Father so that’s impossible, wrong! Revelation 4:2-3 Gives us a glimpse of Father God.” And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.”  Imagine that Jasper can be red, brown, yellow and green (spotted) and sardine stone is usually red.  Apostle John refers to He that sat, so I do imagine a male image with such a brilliance.  Then we have Holy Spirit, who has many descriptions Fire, Water, Oil, Dove and then Jesus, who many of us have an image of.  Many people will use scripture to say the human imagination is evil.  But we were given our imaginations by Father for a reason and Holy Spirit inspired the writers of scripture to be descriptive.  So if it lines up with scripture then it is a good use of imagination and will draw us closer to each Person of The GodHead!
Now I really believe that I shouldn’t have to prove that all three Persons wish to have a personal relationship with us, but I will.  The Word became flesh and dwelt among us! Now if that isn’t wanting a personal relationship then I don’t know what would prove it.  Father God called Moses a friend, Jesus and Moses talked at the Mount of Transformation. And Holy Spirit is called our teacher, comforter and all that we need.  A teacher and comforter itself implies a personal relationship.

So all that’s left is to have a personal relationship, now with me I communicate the most with Holy Spirit as I would with any friend.  I thank Him, I ask Him what color of shirt I should wear, how should I handle a certain situation any and everything.  He answers through mental pictures, thoughts, my being at peace or my peace being removed, even by sudden tears or laughter.  One could say I’m crazy, but I say we have Holy Spirit inside of us for a reason, we being now in the Kingdom of Light are rewired to be able to sense Him, when we seek and acknowledge His Presence.  When I pray (speak with) each Person of the GodHead, using my imagination I picture them as I stated earlier, I’m not just throwing words into the air, I am speaking directly to them.  Don’t knock it, till you try it!
