We have been born of God. We are totally unique. In a world when most people say that significant spiritual change is almost impossible we can see and pursue transformation. The goal of our lives is to fashion a dwelling place for God within the realities of everyday experience. God has always sought a dwelling place.

Hebrews 11:3 "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things that are seen were not made of things that already existed."

Since there was a time when it did not exist, even now when it does exist, it exists only because God wills that it be. God, by contrast, exists because He is. God is the true reality, He is the only entity that truly exists, - even where this truth is not evident. The various realms of existence may appear independent because God's presence may not be apparent, but that does not change the reality. He alone is true existence. "And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life."1 John 5:20

There are aspects and qualities that are still hidden to our experience, yet He intends to reveal Himself within us. "In His times He will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings. Lord of Lords; Who alone has immortality, and the light which no man can approach unto; What man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor power everlasting. Amen."1 Timothy 6:15-16

God has hidden Himself and we are called to Him in the process of walking out our salvation! God's intention to fully reveal the truth so that all will see it - He is doing that through a people. We are in a time of restoration, because the world is in a state of separation from God. An aspect of the condition is that the world in unaware that they are in such state of disconnection. In the consciousness of much of the world, the work of God and the plan of God are totally hidden. If God were truly revealing the Creator of Heaven and Earth and the Savior of mankind, the creation, would be drawn to God. These actions would be an expression of that awareness, but that is not the case. Moreover His truth is all-pervasive. It is not only that He exists and the world exists; instead, just as He is the truth of all existence, He is the truth within every aspect of existence. At the core of every being lies God's intent.

All the beings of the heavens and the earth came into existence solely from the truth of His being even though His presence may not be evident. We may not be able to appreciate how a particular thing or experience is related to God, but that does not change the reality. Everything that exists is an expression of His truth.

"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or principalities or powers; all things were created by him and for him.
