The Canvas of God's Presence

Our lives are the canvas on which God is painting the brushstrokes of His life upon (1). He is the master artist who fills our life with the color, sound, voice that is distinctly Him. Being in the image of God. He places His glory in us. It is the Father imparting who He is to us, in us and for us. with the end result we look like Him and we shine as the stars of heaven.

The study of His Word gives us the truth concerning our God and Father who He is, what He has done and His desire to live in us. In one sense the written Word is linear. We see the aspect, the plane, the angle of His life. It is not something we read and it ends there why? Because it is a Living Word it has the life of God in in it. Being a Living Word it must produce the same results today as it did then. God did not nor does He change and His son is the same yesterday, today and forever. Therefore He must produce through us by His son who lives in us the same results today as we read about in Scripture. Signs, miracles and wonders will follow when we have right doctrine and believing (2). If they are not following us then we have experienced the God who was not the God who is.

Yet God is not the God of our understanding for He is the God of the impossible. It is like the Word is a two dimensional aspect it is vital and foundational. Yet He speaks of greater then we can comprehend, understand, apprehend or perceive, beyond human dimension. Everything about God is greater, better, more magnificent then our minds can perceive.

His love is higher, His believing is greater, His forgiveness everlasting, his patience enduring, His expectation unrelenting. His compassion boundless.

His handprint, His impression, and expression of Himself is in us and on us. We are to go forth producing, revealing who the Father is to the world around us.

He is The God of might and miracles it is normal for a believer living the life of God to produce, to evidence the miraculous in their life.

(1) Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship (maerpiece), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
(2) Hebrews 4:2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
