Kingdom Relationship: Kingdom eBooks

By Tom Dole

Relationships grow through communication and experience.  It is one thing to know about someone, but to really know a person is to experience life with that person.  Some people talk a lot about God, but have no experience with God.  Some people will get to heaven only to hear Jesus say, "I never knew you.  Depart from me."  Why is that? 

 

Living life with God, truly knowing Him, begins by understanding that He means what He says and says what He means.  And that He does what He says He will do.  Read on and learn about His Kingdom, His Word and living life with Him.

Prologue

Sometimes, God will open your understanding about a Bible passage and reveal a specific truth from His Word.  Other times, He will pique your curiosity about something in His Word that causes you to wonder what He means.  In either case, what happens next is up to you.  You can say, Wow!  That’s cool!  What an ear-tickler that was!¹, then move on and never act on what God showed you.  And when you arrive in heaven, Jesus will look at you and say, I don’t know who you are. 

Or, you can pull on that thread of truth God gave you.  You can adjust the way you live your life by bringing it into line with what He is telling you in His Word.  As you keep pulling on that thread of truth, ask the Holy Spirit to teach you more.  He will!²

It’s the truth you know, not the truth you don’t know, that sets you free.³  As you keep pulling on that thread of the truth, God will add another verse that gives you more insight and revelation.  This is how your relationship with the Lord grows.  Take notes!  Write down what He is telling you!  Ask questions!  Write down your questions and pray about them.  God will teach you the answers.  When He does, write down His answers! 

As long as you keep pulling on His Word, asking for and living by more of His truth, He will keep talking to you.  When you stop pulling, He will stop talking.  Of course, when you stop pulling and He stops talking, it stalls the growth of your relationship with Him. 

You can pick up the conversation anytime you want to.  But know this: the key to growing in your relationship with the Lord is to keep the communication going. 

Ginosko House min-eBooks provide a starting point for building your ginosko relationship with the Lord.  (It’s pronounced with a hard g’, ge-no-sko.  You’ll learn more about your ginosko relationship with the Lord as you read on.)  They are designed to be relationship building blocks, a place to gain traction, if you will.  As you read these books, you’ll find some information eye-opening.  God will begin to take the information in His Word and turn it into revelation in your heart.  Other times, you may read something in these books and wonder what in the world does that mean! 

In either instance, that is your starting point.  That’s where the rubber hits the road in your ginosko relationship with God.  At that point, you must be like those who received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.⁴

At Ginosko House, we’re praying for your ginosko relationship with God and with His Son, Jesus Christ:

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request
