How to Approach God - Part 2
Episode description
In this week’s episode, Prophet Hari continues the series on how to approach God.
How we perceive God determines how we approach God. Your revelation is either your limitation or acceleration. How you perceive God will decide how you receive God. Similarly, we approach people in the capacity of how we see them.
As children of God, we cannot project earthly protocols with our Heavenly Father. In order to understand how to relate to Him, we must look at the approach that Jesus used.
The Biblical model of Father and Son is such that the Father comes up with the plan and then tells the son how to do it.
The manner of the Kingdom is described in the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22. The parable describes a man that came without a wedding garment. The man came unprepared. In the last teaching we learned that we must approach God boldly, but coming boldly doesn’t mean without preparation. Many of us approach God in the Father dimension but miss out on the glory of the dimension of God as righteous King. Some prayers can be unanswered because they’re not in the domain of the Father but in the domain of the King. We must change our protocols. We must grow to a place of stature where we can do business with God and stand upright before Him.
Our God expects a certain level of presentation from us. Although the man was invited, the expectation of the king wasn’t revealed, it was left up to the man to study the situation. He thought he could engage with royalty as he was. You can’t engage royalty as a commoner. God loves us the way we are, but He doesn’t want us to remain the way we are. We must learn the language of royalty.
The garment that God looks for: 1- The garment of praise. We must enter His courts with thanksgiving. 2- Garment of faith. The king is drawn to faith. 3- Garment of holiness. We must present ourselves in the holiness and righteousness imputed in us by God.
