Has anyone really seen God? Is it possible to see Him now?

When people report nowadays that they have seen God in a

vision is it for real?

Certainly it is possible for God to do anything and reveal

Himself to whom He chooses. God has done this at certain

times throughout history as evidence that He does exist.

However Jesus tells us that there is a greater blessing

for those who believe and follow Him without seeing Him:

Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at

My hands; then reach out your hand and put it in My side.

Stop your doubting, and believe!" Thomas answered Him,

"My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to Him, "Do you believe

because you see Me? Blessed are those who believe without

seeing Me!" (John 20:27-29).

God's purpose to reveal Himself throughout history has

been for all of humanity to benefit from His message.

Isaiah tells us: "In the year that King Uzziah died,

I saw the Lord. He was sitting on his throne, high and

exalted, and His robe filled the whole Temple. Around

Him flaming creatures were standing, each of which had

six wings. Each creature covered its face with two wings,

and its body with two, and used the other two for flying"

(Isa 6:1-2). In your mind's eye you can see God from the

description of Isaiah, but the purpose of this encounter

was for all people to know that God was holy and that He

changes our hearts and tongues to be holy as well.

Jesus calls us to a higher and purer way in our lives

just as Isaiah was called. He asks the question, "Who

can I send?" He gives the promise of blessing to those

who will pursue a pure heart before Him: "Happy and

blessed are the pure in heart; they will see God (Mat 5:8)!

Let us remember who has the highest and best way.

God's name is Jehová Elyon. He is the God of a higher

and better way. You can see God today by your eyes of

faith and your pursuit to have a pure heart. Those that

seek Him in truth will find Him. He will change your

your heart to serve Him. Trust Him and Praise Him

Today for the highest and best way!
