Do you solemnly believe that title? Because if you do, you must believe and embrace the teachings of the Old and the New Testaments. Namely, the Three Persons are: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Ghost! Also known as The Trinity! Nevertheless, none is greater or lessor or before or after the other. The Trinity is the author of the Holy Bible (Old and New Testaments).

So, I have a confession to make and I desire to make it publicly in the annuals of this blog post. I’M NOT PERFECT. AND I MAKE MISTAKES!!! AND I’M SORRY.

There, I said it! Now keep reading.

Like some of you, as a young adult, I lived an extremely self condemning life. I had an older sister (the first born) who was smarter in school than me. She was our parents favorite. She also was afforded the position of “warden” over the remaining 4 siblings because both our parents worked long hours. Our older sister lauded her position over us and she would report misdeeds us kids did to our parents that often resulted in us getting spanked or otherwise punished.

So naturally, my self and most of my younger siblings wandered around in life doing their own thing. Or listening to and following bad advice. Mostly going from one misguided decision to another. Confused. Wasting time, money, resources, strength and health. I contributed my share of rebellion, too.

But there was a ‘staple’ in our growing up years that help me to escape my rebellious life style. Our parents made us all attend church services every Sunday. Over the years, one Bible scripture struck in my spirit: “Blessed are the poor in spirit for they shall see God.” But wait! I thought. Will a person actually ‘see God’?

As I grew older, I began to process that verse and came to realize that yes, because in all of thy getting, one day a person will surrender to God. That will be their day of reckoning. That day is when they will be receptive to the Word of God. So far, I have been in the wilderness of life. Now, I am ready to come out of that wilderness or thought pattern.

LESSONS LEARNED...

But first, a person must realize just Who was always in the wilderness with them anonymously.  God was always with that person, but God did not show himself.  However, now that the person is ready (has come to him or herself), God will show himself.  For God blesses the meek by attending his ear towards them.

Now the question is will God show himself!  God will surely show himself within a Burning Bush.  The burning bush represents all the troubles and riotous living and bad mistakes that person has endured.  The Fire within the bush is the Mighty God.  Burning brightly...but not consuming it.

God is going to require the sinner man to approach him, but first the person must take off their shoes.  Take off Satan.  Get off following the path of error.

WHY?

Because now they are standing before God...standing on his path called Holy Ground.  God instantly changes the person's name to Moses which means he has been drawn out of the waters of confusion.  (In scripture, water represents trouble.  Jesus conquered water by walking on it...putting it under His feet.)

God is in that wilderness that we all go through, but we just don't see him.  We cannot see him as long as we allow ourselves to be slaves to the devil (darkness).  We must come to realize that when the scales fall from our eyes and we see God, we become somebody.  We can say, "I AM somebody in/with Christ Jesus!"

So now that the sinner man is barefooted (has put off error) and standing on holy ground (God) before a bush (his troubles) that is on fire (the 3rd Person of the Trinity), but not being destroyed (the bush is not consumed because trouble will always be with us), now the sinner man who has been brought into the Light is ready to receive his assignment and to begin to work for God/Jesus/Holy spirit (instead of Satan).  AMEN! and AMEN!
