God wants to be normal!

God just ain’t normal in America. Oh, He has come close to being normal, but we keep coming up short. There have been times when Jesus was becoming part of ‘mainstream America’ but then fell short of the New Testament Gospels, Acts of the Apostles and God’s truths in the book, The Revelation. Yes, we have responded by faith to some of the truths within the Bible but having all that is of God in the unity of the body of Jesus Christ has not been our strong point. God said to me last week, “I want to be normal.” I knew exactly what God meant when He said these words, “I want to be normal.”

Let’s see who God is—here are some names of God. Which ones do you not have actively working in all areas of your life or in the body of worshippers you fellowship with? Master, Lord, Over all, House of God, My Mercy, Most High, Faithful, Praise, God of Glory, Living God, My life, Holy God, Jealous God, My Strength, Our Refuge, My Healer, My Provider, My King, My Avenger, Everlasting, Helper, Maker, My Rock, Almighty God, Judge of the Earth, Exceeding Joy, My Salvation, My Righteous, God of Heights, Jesus, God of gods, All-sufficient God, My Sword, Lord of Hosts, Mighty in Battle, Our Defense, My Redeemer, Strong-one, God of Truth, My Recompense, Son of God, God is near, God of kindness & faithfulness, God in Heaven, Lord the Judge, Mighty to Save, With Me, Prince of Peace, My Shield & Fortress, King of Kings, Counselor, Deliverer, He who Sanctifies, High Tower, My Banner, My Light, My Shepherd, Holy Spirit, Our Peace, My Comforter, God who is there, God with us, Holy One, Spirit of God, Branch, Consuming Fire, Father, and Light of the nations. This is the normal God—the God whom we worship.

It is indeed time for God to become normal, that is to say, to have all that God is and who God is in all that we do and who God wants us to become. Give me the “normal God”! Not a limited or depleted God. Do not give me a God who is only half-way interested in me. If I believe, if I worship, then give me the God who is worthy of my worship and praise. I want all that is of God. I want the normal God of the ages. I want the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Give me all that is God or give me nothing.

What would Jesus want me to do?
