That's enough Splendid word. You know, I looked up and I found that there is 1299 verses with the word behold in the scriptures. But not only that. the verses that has the meaning behind so I can go through all of them. But God had put this word on my hard for about a month now and behold and it was I need to emphasize behold. So I look up the word the meaning to behold. It means to look to get your attention. He meant us to 62 upserve to watch to survey to gaze to gaze upon don't talk behold. God is always saying he wants us to know. Time you see the word behold in the scriptures. God just doesn't want you to just read over it and password. He says stop pay attention. Look. I want to see something. You know. It is impressive about my heart so much that that scripture that I we read and it's in your bullet in the 1st. John 3 on the first verse is one of my favorite that says behold.
It's a matter what manner of love the father stole? I'll put my God. This is a love that man time. Don't do not know. We don't understand in this is this is another kind of love agape love. I love that. He wants my God told me to order us. To give it to us. Oh my God to present to us. He has presented his love upon you and I
I have to stop and pay attention to what is this verse saying? What is in this verse we need to pay attention. God so loved us. Hey God, that He gave His only begotten son. He stole all of us. We've got to come up to understand what the word love is all about. What does kind of love that he has given to us that he had put up on us my God. How are we manifesting? This long? Are we living the Slavic continues to say it is such a love that we can be called the sons of God. Glory to God what love we are now not just a mere humans sinful creatures with me now can be sons of God. This is what he has done for you and I that's the kind of love that we've got to keep our mind on. You got to keep a games on it. Got to watch it. Got to look at it. Got to come to understand it. Got to come to meditate upon it up on this kind of love that he has bestowed upon us. Haha look because we are now the sons of God.
We are now we are set apart. The word doesn't know us. Oh God, because my walking like the sons of God, we're not up games and stuff. They want to do some understand that because it did not know God. So now we've got to be that we've got to be like that Son of God. We've got to walk so that the world. Oh God can come in to know if that's what God is all about. He bestowed upon us so that we can come to know him. He wants us to know so that we can distribute it can spill over to others. So the others can stop a wow. Wow.

Because all those things that the world knows and that they hold High. the money the fame the power the glory that they may hold high do not give them life eternal. It cannot make them walk at the sons of God cannot make them. Be overcome the things that they go through because all the things that they might have received a Tain.

To repent it leads us to repentance a lot of times we go through a situation and it's so marvelous how God works in our lives and bring us from place to place. We're chasing after him. So that we go from glory to glory from Faith to Faith. We don't stand still we're not stagnant sent of God moves when there's chaos in our lives the spirit of God.
Genesis 1 is not what God did the word was without form. It was a duck.

Haven't even thought about that picture already knows what he wants us we could be going in a direction by with our thoughts planning to do such and such a thing all my God and God already knows but if you just call the name of Jesus if you just began to search him if you just began to seek him out. Behold, you don't even know what changed my mind. I'm not over there but dear God it's a wonderful savior saints of God. God wants us to pay attention pay attention to his word his word never fails his word is you the only report that all the time in Hebrews? The word of God is quick. It's a sharper. It is powerful.
The word of God can get it over thoughts. The word of God comes in or imaginations, you know, why because you deserve word of God you stopped room you chase after him you don't you might not be physically running. You understand me. What in your mind your heart your desire is what I want more of you speak Lord, let it go. Let it go for afterward. We'll just take over because God knows what he wants to do, but those each and every one of us. God knows what I need it. Oh simple little things sometimes all such simple things that don't make sense. But my God knows that that little bit of something to do with my heart. He knows it has something to do with my character. He knows God what type of life I would live. And he will allow you to come in.
You didn't Crystal. I had no intention of even talking about this little.
Oh my God. I'll tell you this little story. all my life all my life I had a phobia. I had a phobia of anything that Wiggles you just do something like that. I will look at it. I don't want to see it. It was just so terrible at such a phobia that my imagination goes away with me. My imagination starts feeling. I mean, I literally feel the thing crawling on me. How am I going to feel and I'm not even going to standby it? I'm not even though I don't think what I would step on it. Get up to the thing crawling all over me, but that's a terrible phobia. It was so bad so bad. I jumped on my husband one rainy day because those things are on the ground and it's grown woman just jump.
It was bad. Don't even say the word. I couldn't I could not call the word. It was in my biology class. We amoebas and all that sort of stuff and looking on the microscope and I'm supposed to draw exactly what I saw. You know, there was honey. I don't want to see it. I already know what it looks like. It's so I can draw what is the temperature going on? You understand? That's ridiculous. But it was just that bad. It wasn't until last year early last year. all these years
Oh, yeah. I was not even hearing it.
my pastor
Justin Williams last year He says all Mom. That's alright. He says don't you know, they are God's creatures. I mean just a little simple thing like that. He said to me that All these little creatures are God's creatures. God created them. God made up. I mean it.
I needed to hear. I'm telling you the truth. Let It Rain that day. I walked out there. I did not and they were all over the place. It did not even something as something doesn't move remove that thing up on me. I have no fear one day. I mean I can watch the snakes snakes is worse. You notice. I didn't say anything about snakes, right?
What snakes I could not eat spaghetti? but anyway My husband said I can watch him and watch everything going on. I asked cepted the word. I accepted the fact that that's God's creature. wow, simple things I wasn't even going to talk about that, but you
Crystal mentioned it in Sunday school this morning and it just came back when I'm talking about how simple things. That seems right doesn't matter to anybody or anyone else. But it had been a big thing for me and how just that one little word. Got me over and all that all those years and until today praise be to God. I can't talk about it. I can walk by them doesn't bother to God. So God wants us all my goodness. Thank you God. That's the reason why he wants us when he says be home. He wants us to see what he's working out in our lives. What we call Simple. Hey because I'm going to have to meet with all these things and got to realize we're going to glorify God together. No that but God is good. Isn't he wonderful say I truly bless the Lord because he did things that you know, I did not have to I did not know.
webe, to be able to know God only through the revelation of God. If God does not reveal it to us. You won't know it. We won't know it. And it's only as a scripture says that the owner of the desana is revealed only by the father and the father on all of a sudden the father knows the Sun. So it's only through here you don't let me read the scripture correctly. It's only through the revelation of God that we have this knowledge. The scripture is taken from Luke for lieutenant 22. It says all things are delivered to me of my father. This is Jesus talking and The Gnome annoyed who the son is, but the father. And who the father is but the son and to whom the son will build him. So only if the sun revealed God was that knowledge to us. We have no knowledge and we need that knowledge because he wants us to be home you want us to go to search he wants us to know so when we get into his word revealed to us. That's the reason why it's a daily thing you don't we'll get her one day when we sells real good and the spirit was working and we got to be we don't get it all because we've got to go back to him. We've got to go back to get some more and even that which you have received on that day. There's more of that thing that you got to know. It is so beautiful. That's why we're chasing and that's why he's chasing after us because he had already put something in us that we always be your master. We don't know what it is. Sometimes you don't know what it is. Some people in the scripture this morning was talking to these people talk about the unknown God. They had this banner up to the unknown God. But saints of God, what are we get to know that we don't know about learning we've got to continue going on. That's the reason why all over the scripture behold. He wants us to know he wants us to search look into it. So wherever the word behold shows up, there are so many of them. You take the time out. meditate upon it Get in your closet pray about it. You want me to know what is it? Because you never know. How could you get that out of is that right? It sounds like a regular everyday verse of the word. Right? But nothing in God is in the word of God is just regular and plain it is it's Austra because that's the kind of God. We serve no wonder the song said then sings my soul. How great how great his love is. The goodness of God when God reveals something in euros. It blesses your soul so much that you are so nice to see how that's the part that goes back to God. That's so so the soul has been touch. I did Jesus cry out Hallelujah sometimes our minds don't even get it yet, but that's so has received it. The sword has received that regulation and so is price out how great How Great Is Our God know from day to day we've got to continue on beholding his word. It is his great pleasure for us to know him. That's what it's all about.
He's right here with us every day because he'll never leave us nor forsake us. Did he not? So it is up to us. We have got to seek him out seek his face. Hallelujah my God, so don't be discouraged. I had a whole lot more. I just thank God for God bringing this out. What I had on here When God Says so so That's so and so and so I praise God for his word this morning for the other word and behold it gives me such a hunger that now. Oh, yeah. So what more is there? You know you want to know? All right. Yes Lord, and that's so true. The more you read the word of God. I mean, it's just one verse you read that one verse until God take it to another verse and my God you get so much on it. Everyday, you can get more and more. It's never it. It's overflowing that's overflowing because God puts that there so that you can overflow to talk to others. That's what the word of God does. And so we bless the Lord this morning for his goodness for that knowledgement of the word of God what the word of God it does for us and that we should continue to seek and to study his word than the word of God tell us to study to show yourself approved unto unto God a Workman that need not be ashamed. So when we study we we don't just read and like we did in school you don't When I in school and you have a test to exam coming up your crime and write your crime nose-to-nose with words and whatever it is and you just cram. It just comes off the top of your head and you can put it right back wrote put it right back on the paper what they're asking for the next day. It's gone. You you did not apply it to your heart. You just the word of God. It's nothing like that. You don't crime the word of God because every day there's more to learn from the word of God, right? So we praise God this morning, let us Put that in our hard to learn what God has for us a man. He made us unique.
And to seek him out. Praise God, Amen. Saw the song. We thank God for the word this morning, and we hope that you have received something from the Lord and I'm going to close out this with prior. So let us all to stand and give the glory to the Lord.
