About Our Timeless Creator

 

This series of messages titled “Our Timeless Creator”, shift the focus from salvation and service, to understanding God.  How He who needs nothing, benefits from creating the human race.

It started when God brought the speaker to Psalm 50:15 three times following the miraculous healing of his dying wife.  It reads, “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me”.  Following this he prayed fervently. “LORD, show me how to glorify you and I will do the best I can”.  The speaker had become a new creature, (2 Corinthians 5:17) on May 20, 1973.  At that moment the reality of GOD’s existence and the direct connection to the Bible became miraculously clear.

Overwhelmed with excitement he began telling everyone who had a few moments to listen about what he had experienced, like a man who had just found the cure for a terminal illness which everyone had.  His excitement and enthusiasm continued for well over a year, even when many said, “you’ll get over it.”  Slowly his efforts started to focus on the how-to’s of service and responsibility.  With this change the excitement began to fade.  As it did, need and duty filled the void.  He had said many times, “The most frustrating thing in his life is to know what GOD could do and watch him not do it”.

In 2005, GOD began a work in the speaker’s life as described in Job 5:17-18, that changed everything.  He says, “It was much like when I first became a child of God all over again”, and  describes it as application of (2 Corinthians 3:18), “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”  Truly it has been a life changing experience as God increases, and we, without trying, begin to decrease.

It is our sincere prayer that as you listen to these messages and that you to will experience the change from glory to glory that the speaker describes.

As you explore these messages please be aware they are in the chronological progression that God revealed them. And even though many of the lessons may stand alone, they progress through several subjects that build on the previous ones.

Overcoming Fear with Faith: Part 1 | Message 17

Overcoming Fear with Faith: Part 1 | Message 17 (WIP) This message is the first part in a study of why, we as believers, are so fearful about problems in life and how we can gain in faith and live in peace even in the worst of times. In Mark chapter 4, Jesus calmed the sea, saving all those with Him and all the other ships also. Afterward Jesus asked the question, “Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” The response was not that of gratitude or relief. Surprisingly we read in...

Unaware That We Are Taking God’s Glory: Part 2 | Message 15

Unaware That We Are Taking God’s Glory: Part 2 | Message 15 (WIP) This message continues the study of our motives in serving God and how easily our efforts can change from serving in love into a service of duty. We are much like Cain and Abel. Both had a desire to please the LORD with their offerings, but Abel’s offering was from the heart as evidence of his appreciation for the LORD’s blessings and his motive was the LORD’s pleasure. Whereas Cain’s offering was meant to gain more favor by...

Unaware That We Are Taking God’s Glory: Part 1 | Message 14

Unaware That We Are Taking God’s Glory: Part 1 | Message 14 (WIP) This message is a serious look into our motives for serving God and how our motive can cause us to take credit for His results. In much the same way as a child who had been given money to buy a present may feel about how much they had paid for a gift. Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” This makes it clear that why we do something is more important than what we do. An example of this would be to buy a Christmas...

How We Lose Sight of God | Message 13

How We Lose Sight of God | Message 13 This message identifies the initial wrong turn that we all take that leads us away from God’s desires and His fellowship. In the scriptures, as well as in our own lives we can see clearly that there are times when God’s creation is closer to Him than at other times. King David, a man after God’s own heart went up against Goliath in righteous anger because he had spoken evil of God, and later sinned greatly in the matter of Bathsheba and Uriah. Moses spoke...

Why We Are Fearful and Without Faith | Message 12

Why We Are Fearful and Without Faith | Message 12 This message doesn’t focus on the problems as the cause for our fears; it identifies why those in the boat were afraid of the storm and why they became more fearful after Jesus had performed the miracle. The answer applies directly to us as believers. In Mark chapter five Jesus performed a great miracle when He said unto the sea “Peace, be still” and the wind and sea obeyed Him. Then immediately He turned to those in the ship and asked the...

God’s Spoiled and Ungrateful Children | Message 11

God’s Spoiled and Ungrateful Children | Message 11 This message is to remind us of how blessed we are. It is also a reminder that what God has blessed us with was not to spoil us, but an opportunity to love and appreciate Him more for it. In a conversation with an extremely wealthy man, a less successful man said, I have more than you do, to which the richer man replied, I know your holdings, how can you say that, the reply was simple, I have enough, and you don't. A major flaw in mankind is,...

Seeing Through God’s Glass Darkly: Part 2 | Message 10

Seeing Through God’s Glass Darkly: Part 2 | Message 10 The Bible has much to say about our eternal future, but try as we may, it is impossible to get a vision of that reality. The closest thing in scripture is described as a Glass Darkly, which is very similar to a two way mirror. With a two way mirror the only way to see past your own reflection is to block out light on your side. This message continues with God’s Glass Darkly and focuses on what makes it harder to see what’s on the other...

Seeing Through God’s Glass Darkly: Part 1 | Message 9

Seeing Through God’s Glass Darkly: Part 1 | Message 9 In Colossians 3 we are admonished to; Set our affections on things above. That is like telling someone to love something they have never tasted. Or telling a child who has never been to a place like Disney World or Sea World to love them. Even if you tried to describe it to them in detail, their attention span would run out long before the explanation was finished. Oh yes, once they have been there it is easy to love. So how are we going to...

How to Bless God | Message 8

How to Bless God | Message 8 These days we hear the phrase, "Giving back", quite often. It is an acknowledgement that others have been partly responsible for our successes and helping others is a way of passing on the favor, but is it possible to give back to God for what He has done for us? Oh, we can do many things in His service but can we actually bless God in return for His blessings on us? This message considers how we can bless God directly, in ways similar to David, the man after God's...

Becoming More of a Passionate Participator | Message 7 In the gospel of Mark we are admonished to “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength” but how to fulfill this is a problem. The cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and the lust of other things compete for our attention continually, but God will never compete for your love.  Instead He simply says, “Come unto me”. This message is about refocusing our...

Why Doesn’t God Answer Our Prayers? | Message 5

Why Doesn’t God Answer Our Prayers? | Message 5 The message, Why Doesn’t God Answer Our Prayers?, considers the differences between answered prayers and the unanswered ones and what made the difference. We seek God’s help repeatedly for needs like; problem relationships, financial difficulties, salvation for loved ones or healing for those seriously ill, and if God fails to act, our normal response is to pray more fervently and more often. Maybe we should try to understand God better and...

God is Greater Than What He Does | When Jesus Healed Ten Lepers | Message 4

God is Greater Than What He Does | Message 4 | When Jesus Healed Ten Lepers This Message considers why nine of the ten lepers who were healed completely missed the glory of God, even as the tenth one glorified God in their presence.  They had heard him proclaim with a loud voice and likely watched him go to Jesus and fall on his knees but missed out on what Jesus was thinking when he said, “Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?”  This is like when Jesus calmed the storm and then...

Finding Humility in God’s Glory | Message 3

Finding Humility in God’s Glory | Message 3 Humility is highly favored by God but He resists pride, and even actively works against it. The problem is how to achieve more humility without becoming proud of it. This message considers the automatic increase in humility to those who begin to realize the magnitude of our Creator. It sheds more light on 2 Corinthians 3:18, being changed from glory to glory. The result is a natural humbling in the presence of greatness without any reflection back to...
