Get To Know Him For Yourself: A Personal Journey With The Creator

By Curtis Edwards

No one has ever been able to leave this earth and come back with real proof of what truly lies on the other side; therefore one can only live by some sort of faith. Respecting what other people believe is important while all are on this side of life. Even people of faith have experienced moments of doubt because life has a way of challenging us from time to time. Being a Religious person can at times cause one to be judgemental towards others that do not believe in what they may believe and can cause some to be so spiritually minded that one can become no earthly good. If we are in the business of winning souls we have to be respectful of other's choices and beliefs because the core of Christianity is love, the fulfillment of the commandments is wrapped up in love and the Creator is the very essence of love and if we intend to see Him in peace than our fellowship with His creation done through love. Love is a language in itself and many in this world are not aware of this. The many stories in this book will hopefully get you to think about your existence. Who you are, where you come from and hopefully by the end, you will know where you are going. The reality is that I can't show you because I'm on the same journey as you but at least I can introduce you to the Creator that created it all and hopefully this will encourage you to read the real deal. The B.I.B.L.E.(Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth). Don't take my word for it I'm still trying to "Get To Know Him For Myself".

Preface

Before you even begin to indulge in the chapters of the book, I want to set a foundation as to why this book was written. It is designed to inspire you, the reader, and hopefully open your mind to the fact that your walk with the Creator is personal and should not be taken lightly. You must understand that you are uniquely and wonderfully made with purpose. That purpose is for you to figure out. No one can tell you what it is, but it will be revealed by the Holy Spirit. Men or Women may have some assumptions, but they are in the same boat as you because they have their own life to figure out. Our Heavenly Creator wants to fulfill a purpose in you, and you must understand that it’s not all about you, but it does include you.You are part of a higher purpose and plan that takes all of us to complete. There will be times when you are clueless as to why you are going through what you’re going through, but you must first recognize that it is for your good but it’s ultimately for His glory. You must understand that many of us suffer from an IDENTITY CRISIS and the only way to understand who you truly are is to realize that YOU ARE THE CHURCH. For years you were taught to believe that a physical building was the place of worship, but that is not so. When the Messiah came on the scene, He walked with a band of misfits. He showed these individuals a new way of living and He revealed QUALABILITIES to them. I know you may be wondering what in the heck are they? but they are kinda like gifts & talents, with a twist. You see, these misfits were used to doing things a certain way, living a certain way, and thinking a certain way, He had to transform their minds and He help them by showing them a new way of REDEEMING THE TIME. Remember, they were all misfits with different talents, skillsets, and occupations, but they all went through many different challenges and other things, and eventually, they became a family, understanding the importance of RESPECTING OTHERS CHOICES and LIVING IN BALANCE. Later discovering that WE ARE REALLY NO DIFFERENT. They all had issues, different beliefs, and upbringings. All wanted to be the closest to the Messiah. He knew and understood them individually. He hand-picked them not based on what they had but on what He knew was inside of them. He transformed each of them by MOVING THEM FROM RELIGION TO RELATIONSHIP. The Messiah temporarily gave up His Heavenly lifestyle to become normal like them. To give them an abundant life here on earth and also to prepare them for the afterlife. He did all of that for them and He wants to do the same ting for you. Isn’t this great news? He came all the way down here so that you could have a fabulous life, so WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR INHERITANCE? Do you even know that you had one? Do you know that you were royalty? You were created in the image and likeness of your Heavenly Creator. Everything that He created He did with a spoken word, but "you" He took special care to create. He formed you with His own hands. Broke the mold after He fashioned you. There will never be another like you. Unfortunately, you may be too caught up to see all of this. The systems and cares of this world may have you walking around in a state of delusion and confusion. You may have FALLEN ASLEEP WITH YOUR EYES WIDE OPEN. This world may you in a trance. You know that something could be wrong, but you just cannot figure out WHAT HAS YOU ENTANGLED. You seem to be suffering like most of the other people who walk around with a mental and spiritual disease called SCAMNESIA. The Messiah came to restore all hope to this entire world. You must establish communication with the Creator through the Holy Spirit. You must first understand THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER. It is a gift that is given to every follower and born-again believer. You cannot keep wasting all the precious time that He has placed in your hands. It’s time for you to get right and start living and give up the life that you have been living up to this point. It’s hard, I know, and He knows it too, but that’s still no excuse. He is coming back just like He said He would. Can’t you see the signs of the times? All hell is breaking loose on this earth. Everything is falling apart right in front of your very eyes. You don’t know who to trust. All of the deception, lies, scandals, corruption, pandemics, plagues, and systems are crumbling as you read this. You may be caught up in the midst of all of this, but deep down inside, you want to get right, and He knows this as well. It’s gonna be a long & hard process. It’s not a one-day fix. In fact, IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO LIVE HOLY. Everything that you need, He has already equipped you with. You have to walk it out by faith. You have to give up your eyesight so that you can gain His insight. Start walking, keep moving, but don’t confuse movement with progress. Take one step at a time as His Spirit directs you. It will happen, but none of it will be of your doing. There are other people involved because there is a bigger plan at play. He has gifted you, but it’s not even you that is doing the work. IT’S NOT YOUR GIFTS BUT HIS GLORY. He’s just using you as a vessel to accomplish His work, but I have to ask you one last question ARE YOU THROUGH ENTERTAINING HIM? Once you’re done, I need for you to say A SINNERS PRAYER! Most of the stuff you have been taught up to this point is probably a lie, and this is why you need to………………... GET TO KNOW HIM FOR YOURSELF!

Introduction

This book is written for anyone that likes to read and that has an open mind about creation. A spiritual-minded person may want to learn some things about the Creator of everything and how He works in the lives of ordinary individuals. You must first realize that you will never know everything about Him in your life because the moment that you think you have Him figured out becomes the moment you will find that there is so much more to discover concerning Him. This book is not for those who are too deep in their thinking or so heavenly connected that they are no earthly good. That individual who is so stuck on themself that they have not realized that the Creator designed us to be codependent and we need each other in order to survive. This book contains simple principles of life and if understood will allow you to become a better version of yourself. These words are for anyone that still believes that our Creator can and will use anyone, even if They do not possess any religious titles or any prestigious credentials or have a whole lot of worldly knowledge.

The purpose of this book is to stimulate the mind of those who read it and to encourage them to search the blueprint of life (The Holy Bible), seek, receive, and learn to identify the language of life’s personal tour guide (The Holy Spirit).

A man or woman needs daily guidance & balance to be successful in life, and one’s success should never be measured by the abundance of material things one possesses but by the wisdom and knowledge, one will receive by establishing a solid relationship with the Creator of all things. I pray that this book will become part of your spiritual diet and that it will nourish your mind, body & soul.

The information provided in this book is based on some personal opinions, some credible facts, personal experiences, and research, and yes, all of the stories are real and relatable for all ages and stages of life. Some of these stories may seem unreal, but so is the Bible. So simple that a fool can learn it but clueless to those that think that they are wise in their own minds.

Many days of fasting, praying, and meditation was done before writing the words in this book. I received revelation from the most High GOD & Creator of all things. I give reverence to His Son Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit, in which my gifting to write comes through.

May the readers of this book find answers to life’s questions and gain peace in the hour of turmoil & most importantly, may it be the door that leads You to Get To Know HIM For Yourself.

Chapter 1

Identity Crisis

(Man-tality/Mindset)

Can you imagine growing up in a family that you thought was yours only to find out later that you were adopted? You were sent to the best school. You wore the finest clothes. The parents that raised you, protected, nursed, and cared for you all of your life but deep down inside, you felt in your heart like you didn’t belong to them. No matter how good they treated you, something just wasn’t right on the inside. For years you went with the flow, but somehow something just didn’t seem right. The brothers and sisters that you knew all treat you the same. You seemed to blend in so well. You got good grades, played sports, and even graduated with honors. All of your life, you were treated special, but somehow you still felt out of place.

One day you witnessed; a complete stranger to you being bullied, and at that moment, without thinking twice, you intervened and helped that individual out but found yourself in the school office being disciplined for helping a person who was being harassed by some other group of cowards. Because this person was alone, he was seen as an easy target but to you, he was just another human being that needed to be protected. The people that raised you were so disappointed in you. How could you allow yourself to get into trouble when we did so much to give you a life others would envy? How can you embarrass us like that, you ungrateful little child? In your mind, you are wondering what in the heck I've done wrong. After all, isn’t this something that you should have done? It was only right to help someone else you felt was being done wrong.

At that moment you started to wonder why are they making such a big deal because you were simply looking to help the underdog. Your life at this moment was starting to transform because all of the thoughts about being out of place had started to come back to you. You are starting to reach a boiling point. The question of why you felt like you are not worthy of this good life. You start feeling more connected to those being oppressed by those that think they are bigger, better, stronger, more privileged, and more powerful. Your compassion for the poor and downtrodden is eating at your soul. One day you decide to go to one of your other family members whom you were close to. You wanted some information on the people you thought were your biological parents. The response that you had gotten would change your life forever. They tell you the shocking news that the people that had been raising you all this time were not your real parents. You discover the fact that they were relatives but not your biological father and mother. They simply took care of you because your real parents were strung out on drugs and abandoned you at an early age. You now begin to fall into an identity crisis. The life you are living all of a sudden got turned upside down all because of the information that you
