In this episode, we are exploring the essence of God’s story: the true nature of God is His story towards us. This has been His intention since Adam and Eve, when He walked and talked with them in the Garden, and it’s still His desire for us today.

We will be discussing:
+ How your life and story is designed to be ASTONISHING in Jesus...
+ Why you story and journey is rooted in His absolute GOODNESS towards you...
+ Three keys to PERCEIVING God’s story and journey towards you...
+ An activation to FOCUS your times of mediation about the story of God’s true nature in your life and His journey towards you….

Key Truths…
+ Whatever God is, He is relentlessly.
+ God doesn’t just have the Fruit of the Spirit. It’s who He is.
+ Every situation can reveal more of His story and journey towards us.

Key Scriptures…
+ Romans 2:4: Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance.
+ Isaiah 40:28: Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
+ Malachi 3:6: I am the Lord, I don’t change.
+ Galatians 5:22-23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
+ John 1:12: But to as many as received Him, He gave them the power to become the sons of God.

Activation…

In order to bring focus to your times of mediation about the story of God’s true nature in your life and His journey towards you, think of your favorite attribute of Who God has been to you.

Spend time walking through your life situations again with Him. Remember what He said and how He showed up. Ask yourself and the Holy Spirit these key questions:
+ Who did He come as?
+ How has God joined His story with yours?
+ What was the provision that He brought for you?
+ What part of His story and His true nature was He showing you?
+ Is there anything about those times that you have yet to see?
+ Is there any provision for you there in healing, encouragement or understanding that can accelerate your development now?

So often, we forget just how relentless God is in invading our story with His. It’s good to be
intentional on meditating on the Lord’s history with us. If circumstances are a little on top of
you, try that out.
