To know Him

John 17:3 Now this is life eternal, That they might KNOW Thee; The ONLY true Elohim, and Yahusha the Messiah whom thou hast sent 💙

How do we KNOW Him?

When looking up the word know in John 17:3 the word "know" is the same that is used in the intimate connection that a man makes with his wife. I believe Father used this word to help our minds to understand the oneness and the intimate unity He desires to have with His people. He wants us to know that when it comes to His children He wants no separation from us and sacrificed it All so that we might have the chance to Know Him.

 In order for us to know Him, we have to constantly experience Him. It's an active relationship with the One who Knows and the thing known. Ginosko is the word used in the Renewed Covenant (New Testament). Ginosko is the knowledge that comes from obedience. Ginosko is used to describe the intimate relationship between husband and wife and between God and His people.

What does it mean to Know Him?

The word Know in the Hebrew is Yada. It's the same word used when Adam conceived and bore fruit with his wife Eve. The word means to understand by experience. Which makes a lot of sense since in order to Know Abba you need to experience Him DAILY. I'm coming to know Abba through lots of prayer and being very intentional about where I spend my time based on Who/what I want to reflect. It's important for us to read our Bible daily and find quiet places to listen for His voice and instruction. If we spend our time sowing into our fleshly desires and doing the things which indulge the fleshly nature, we weaken that which Abba is trying to make strong.  Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. In order to get to Know Him we have to align all our desires and wants with what He wants and His purpose for our lives.

When we commit sin, we in a sense come to know it and it becomes one with us. When we entertain thoughts and actions that don't align with His Word. We We weaken the connection and oneness Abba wants to build in us. A wife is meant to know only ONE husband. What sin on this Earth is worth seperating us from our Elohim?

 1 Cor 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Messiah? Shall I then take away the members of Messiah and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16 Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, “The two shall become one flesh.” 17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 18 Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the [j]immoral man sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a [k]temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from Elohim, and that you are not your own? 20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify Elohim in your body. 

Dear Abba, Thank you for everyone who will read this blog. I pray that you bless them in abundance. Father help us all come to know you and seek your face daily. Allow your Spirit to be the only leading force in our lives and may we surrender it ALL to you Abba. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for all you have done. Father bless us, so that we bring glory to You in every aspect of our lives.

HalleluYah Abba 💙
