Knowing The God You Serve

Let’s flip this – How Can You Serve – some one you don’t know?

You can do it but it’s not vary effective – How can you Serve people you do Not know?

How can you serve Christ – if you don’t know him? This all takes time it all takes work and it even takes the spirit of Love and the spirit of God – revelation too – learning improving and being diligent!

How can you really serve your customers unless you really know them?

How can you run a business unless you really know it?

How can you know a Master unless you have really been around the Master to know them and to serve them?

So the More we know the more we can do the more we can Serve!

This is the same for Master Key System – you really have to know it – use it – love it and do it – to become a great servant of it – that doesn’t mean you can’t improve upon it – you can and you do that with the help of God and of Men and of the Spirit of God…

Gods ways are a lot higher than Mans ways – God knows that – Eternally speaking there is no better way for man to Grow and become like God – than doing what other Gods have done before you – There are Lords many and Gods many – but they all did the same thing to get there!

You have to know GOD before you can fully serve him but you have to know yourself too and where you fall short – you were never meant to do this life alone without God’s help!

This striking view of each human’s potential future was accompanied by revealed teachings on humanity’s past. As Joseph Smith continued to receive revelations, he learned that the light or intelligence at the core of each human soul “was not created or made, neither indeed can be.” God is the Father of each human spirit, and because only “spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy,” He presented a plan for human beings to receive physical bodies and progress through their mortal experience toward a fulness of joy. Earthly birth, then, is not the beginning of an individual’s life: “Man was also in the beginning with God.”³¹

( The above scripture is so important – it’s part of what Christians on a Whole are Missing! )

 Likewise, Joseph Smith taught that the material world has eternal roots, fully repudiating the concept of creation ex nihilo. “Earth, water &c—all these had their existence in an elementary State from Eternity,” he said in an 1839 sermon.³² God organized the universe out of existing elements.

Joseph Smith continued to receive revelation on the themes of divine nature and exaltation during the last two years of his life. In a revelation recorded in July 1843 that linked exaltation with eternal marriage, the Lord declared that those who keep covenants, including the covenant of eternal marriage, will inherit “all heights and depths.” “Then,” says the revelation, “shall they be gods, because they have no end.” They will receive “a continuation of the seeds forever and ever.”³³

( THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE COVENANTS OF THE TEMPLE AND THE POWER OF GOD! )

The following April, feeling he was “never in any nearer relationship to God than at the present time,”³⁴ Joseph Smith spoke about the nature of God and the future of humankind to the Saints, who had gathered for a general Church conference. He used the occasion in part to reflect upon the death of a Church member named King Follett, who had died unexpectedly a month earlier. When he rose to speak, the wind was blowing, so Joseph asked his listeners to give him their “profound attention” and to “pray that the L[ord] may strengthen my lungs” and stay the winds until his message had been delivered.³⁵

“What kind of a being is God?” he asked. Human beings needed to know, he argued, because “if men do not comprehend the character of God they do not comprehend themselves.”³⁶ In that phrase, the Prophet collapsed the gulf that centuries of confusion had created between God and humanity. Human nature was at its core divine. God “was once as one of us” and “all the spirits that God ever sent into the world” were likewise “susceptible of enlargement.” Joseph Smith preached that long before the world was formed, God found “himself in the midst” of these beings and “saw proper to institute laws whereby the rest could have a privilege to advance like himself”³⁷ and be “exalted” with Him.³⁸

THIS IS A VARY IMPORTANT – QUESTION -“WHAT KIND OF BEING IS GOD?”

Joseph told the assembled Saints, “You have got to learn how to be a god yourself.”³⁹ In order to do that, the Saints needed to learn godliness, or to be more like God. The process would be ongoing and would require patience, faith, continuing repentance, obedience to the commandments of the gospel, and reliance on Christ. Like ascending a ladder, individuals needed to learn the “first prin[ciples] of the Gospel” and continue beyond the limits of mortal knowledge until they could “learn the last prin[ciples] of the Gospel” when the time came.⁴⁰ “It is not all to be comprehended in this world,” Joseph said.⁴¹ “It will take a long time after the grave to understand the whole.”⁴²

Other questions – was god always god? Did he like us Progress to Perfection and a perfect being?

I say he did – but what does the spirit tell you?
