“KNOW THAT I AM GOD!”

 Psalm 46:10-11                                     (ESV)

    “[10] “Be still, and “KNOW THAT I AM GOD”.

        I will be exalted among the nations,

        I will be exalted in the earth!” 

    [11] The LORD of hosts is with us;

        the GOD of Jacob is our fortress. Selah”

One of the most effective tools that the enemy uses to stunt or prevent our growth IN THE LORD is the notion that we don’t have time to “KNOW THAT I AM GOD”!  It is NOT coincidence that BE STILL comes right before “KNOW THAT I AM GOD”, for in my past experience I have to be made to PAUSE before GOD is revealed to me.  That doesn’t mean that HE ISN’T GOD until I acknowledge HIM.  It DOES mean that our EYES are only OPENED by GOD when we are ready to SEE HIS GLORY, to “KNOW THAT I AM GOD”!

When we “KNOW THAT I AM GOD” we cannot help to EXALT HIM.  Exhibiting that we are subject to HIS guidance and leadership is precisely what HE wants from us, and exactly what “the enemy” in trying to convince us that we don’t need!  In Genesis 3:4 it is recorded “But the serpent said to the woman (Eve), “You will not surely die”, in spite of GOD saying in Genesis 3:3 “You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, LEST YOU DIE.’”  Spiritual death is the decision that WE KNOW BEST and we haven’t the time for “KNOWING THAT HE IS GOD”!

SEEING TRUTH is not simply being able to recognize it with our eyes.  To “KNOW THAT I AM GOD” is to first recognize that we ARE NOT GOD!  In Job 38:4-11 GOD has questions laid out for him by GOD ALMIGHTY that let him know with no questions WHO was IN CONTROL!  

We can continue living our lives at speed dictated by “this world” and never experience the Blessing to “KNOW THAT I AM GOD”, or we can BE STILL and have HIS EXCELLENCE revealed to us by our CREATOR like ONLY HE can!  Are you TOO BUSY to acknowledge HIM?  Or can you SEE and “KNOW THAT I AM GOD”???
