    About this ebook

    The true king of mankind elevates rather than subjugates. This book explains how God has given us a king who is the embodiment of the Father's love for us. Christ's power is designed to empower us to become what we were created to be. In this book you will see how Christ shares His power with us as an expression of His love for us.

    Author

    John Lowstreet

    John Lowstreet's first book is about the beatitudes, because in them Christ has made a plain declaration of what He expects of us. Christ is not complicated. He is profound, however. John has spent his life trying to know God personally and to more deeply undertand God. His one quest is to have more experiences with God. John studied the Bible to find God, and as he found Him, grew to love Him. His writings and poems reflect deeply held convictions about the character of God and the importance of Jesus Christ.

      Preface

      Hear me everyone, and understand.

      Mark chapter seven verse fourteen

      We found the keys in the left-hand cupboard over the stove, right where the Lord said.

      You might think that it’s weird to have God tell you where your keys are, but it’s true. Of course, it’s not my usual experience; there was a lesson in it. He cares about us, trivia and all, and He is always available. He’s everywhere, and He knows everything. Once you’ve found Him, you can find anything.

      I didn’t always know this. One time, I said to myself, not believing I was being heard, The God of the universe is not talking to me. I’m losing it. I need help. And God said, I’ll show you it’s me talking to you. Look right there.

      Right there was a spot in the sky. Curiously, I knew where to look. It was night, outside, and the stars where shining beautifully. Right there was where there were not many bright stars, so I looked. I looked for a couple of minutes, and said, I didn’t think so, and looked away. And God said, No, No, No. Don’t look away. So I said, Okay, I’ll bite, and stood there and looked. All of a sudden, a fuzz-ball meteor came through. Being a stargazer, it was clear to me that this was unusual. It was like a small comet body passing at slow meteor speed. And God said, Now do you believe it’s me talking to you? And I said, Yes, Sir. And God said, I thought you would appreciate that.

      Hearing from God is not a matter of getting Him to talk. It is a matter of getting one’s self to listen. He’s on the air all the time. We just need to tune in.

      This book is about hearing what God has been telling everybody for centuries. You are invited to tune in. God knows where the keys to life are and will be happy to tell you where to find them.

      Proofs for God's Existence

      And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times, and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.

      Acts chapter seventeen verses twenty-six and twenty-seven

      God is not found by observation, but by feeling. God is not discovered by acquiring knowledge, but by acquiring sensitivity to His Presence. In order to find God, we must find that dimension within ourselves that can connect with Him. He is already close to us.

      The highest part of any human being is love, and the source of all love is God. Doubting the existence of God is like doubting the existence of one's own mother. Your own existence proves that you have a mother. Like God, mothers reveal themselves to their babes. It is the babe who is asleep. It is the babe’s eyes that do not yet focus. It is the babe who does not yet understand its mother’s language.

      Someone in Neolithic times had a profound paradigm shift. Instead of looking outward to acquire knowledge, this person looked within himself or herself and also began to look within other people. In doing so, this person launched a voyage of discovery that resulted in mankind's discovery of God. The Bible says this was first done in the days of Enosh, a grandson of Adam. Then men began to call on the Name of the Lord, Genesis chapter four, verse twenty-six.

      Our desire to find God is like a babes cry for the mother it does not yet know. The mother comes to the cry. Our desire to know God is what attracts Him to us, for He is already close to us waiting for that desire. He will surely come.

      Some have thought that finding an intelligent design in the universe proves that there is a Creator. That's fine. We agree that it does. But that is an attempt to find out God by observation, and it is always possible that an observation can prove to be wrong. But go a step further and look within us. Our attempt to find an intelligent design is a groping for God.

      All humanity is the babe that has not yet found God. We are all yet acquiring the ability to focus on God. Taken as a group, our growth has been slow. Occasional individuals have made significant progress before death took them out of this world. Their ability to connect with God proves that God exists. They have seen visions of Him and heard Him. The rest of us should be humble enough to accept their testimony as true.

      John said in John chapter one, verse eighteen, No man has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. Jesus Christ is our primary source of the knowledge of God. God’s method of revealing Himself to His babes is to become one of us and to demonstrate to us our own potential to be like Him. One could have said to God, God, if you’re there, prove it. Show yourself. That is precisely what He has done in Christ. Through Christ, God has shown Himself. Christ was fully aware of this when He was on the earth and plainly claimed to be the Father’s revelation of Himself to all mankind. The existence of Christ proves the existence of God because Christ is God in human flesh. Our faith in the revelation of Christ is the beginning of our awareness of the presence of God. Furthermore, Christ has proven His current position in heaven by pouring out His Holy Spirit on all flesh. A mere historical proof might reasonably be doubted, but the ongoing activity of the Holy Spirit is the remedy for that problem.

      The Holy Spirit in the earth is a contemporary proof of God’s existence for those who are willing to receive Him. Of course, for those who refuse the Holy Spirit there is only the historical proof of Christ which anyhow should be enough. But then, many people rejected the revelation of God in human flesh while Christ was on the earth. They were spiritually blind and deaf. We should acknowledge our blindness, but a person who has never seen would not know what it is to see. If sight were a rare human trait, the testimony of the few seeing people might well be rejected. This is the current spiritual condition of humanity. To find God, we must acquire sensitivity to His presence.

      If we cannot sense
