Shelter Series

November 2nd 2019-

Think of a book or a movie, where someone

was living in a shelter they wanted to escape in
order to find his or her real home or calling.
This is exactly what happens between the
shelters on this earth and God’s shelter. Today,
let’s take a look at who God is and how His
shelter is different from the others.

Before we get into God’s character, we need

to realize that the real story of Genesis is that
God takes 7 days to create our world as we
know it, and afterward, Adam and Eve rebelled
against God due to interaction with Satan, the
dragon, for the fruit of fornication, who is
described as the serpent and the tree.

Afterward, God made men who would

precede Jesus and show different parts of who
Jesus was before He came. When He came,
Jesus would become the greater version of all
the men God had made, including Adam.

Though Adam’s curse caused the devil to

lose his wings and become a leviathan of the sea
and marine spirits to also exist there, Jesus
broke sin’s curse through His death on the cross
and His resurrection on the third day. Let’s get
started on revealing the mystery of God’s
character!

Many attributes are commonly associated

with God, such as gentle, patient and forgiving,
but have you ever considered that He is wise,
honest, prayerful, faithful, empathetic, perfectly
righteous and somewhat humorous?

Some names include: King of kings and

Lord of lords, the I Am, the Living and
Everlasting God, Redeemer of Isreal, the Judge,
the Word, the Son of God, the Son of man and
Emmanuel.

Open up to 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 and 7-8.

Here, Paul is speaking and he does a couple
things. First, he gives glory to God for all the
good things He’s done. Then he shares his heart
with God and the rest of the believers.

I tend to consider Paul as the triune God

talking, who brings glory to each person/being,
now that Paul isn’t on Earth anymore. He also
shares His heart through His believers, His
Word and sometimes in media and technology
to reach the lost.

Now, skip back to 1 Corinthians 13. These

are all the things that go along with gentleness,
patience, forgiveness, wisdom, prayer, honesty,
empathy, righteousness and authenticity. But
what is it really all about? It’s about halting the
process of feeding off the Beast system and the
Marine Kingdom in order to defeat the
Beast(flesh) inside of you, while replacing it
with Jesus’ beauty, as you rest in Him.

Now how does God’s shelter differ from the

others?

1.His shelter is divine

2.His shelter is eternal-Deuteronomy 33:27
3.His shelter promotes healing, renewal of
mind and comfort-Isaiah 40:31
 4.His shelter encourages right living-Psalm
34:17-18
5.His shelter will give you the victory in your
battles-Isaiah 54:17
6.His shelter gives you light to be bright-
Numbers 6:24-26
7.His shelter renews our love for him-Psalm
68:4-5, Isaiah 32:2

Today we learned that God is the

embodiment of perfect, unconditional love
through His son Jesus Christ, which shows
through from beginning to end of the Bible.
This shelter contrasted to others is key to
recovery, right living, victory in battles, light,
love, God’s divine personality and eternal plan
of glory.

One of the movies that have been made and

eventually remade to be more feminist is
“Annie.” The first time I saw it, out of empathy
and compassion for her, I wanted to help Annie
escape from the pretenders in their bid for
money into the arms of her adopted family, but
once it was over and they were defeated, I had
confidence that she would be ok.

Now that we know who God is and how His

shelter is different from the others, I encourage
you to model Him and that you request that
others model you as you model Him.
