What happens when we find a “true friend” ?   seriously ?
Both directions, them to us….us to them ?

Deu. 34:10
        ”  There has NEVER been another prophet like Moses,
           whom the LORD  knew FACE to FACE.”

The Lord, because of their friendship….
                      because Moses’ faith….his genuine faith in GOD
                                                                     his genuine desire of GOD….
The LORD revealed Himself to Moses…………….
       ** man….why do we not want it so badly…the LORD to reveal Himself to us ?

HE revealed Himself plainly to Moses……….  do we struggle with knowing GOD?
                                                                                            do we struggle with knowing His ways ?
Why….?

God let, GOD LET….MOSES be familiar with HIM…

Ever met someone that everyone knows ? 
They might be known big time in the public eye…but for some reason they let you in ?

Moses – GOD !   
GOD – MOSES !

It was because MOSES sought after GOD with a genuine heart….

Noah –  it said he was PERFECT….
   not Perfect without sin…
   but the word PERFECT there meant =  SINCERE   !

Boy, did that touch my soul….
   cause right now…my mirror is showing =  JANELLE SINNER  – alert …
                                                                                        Janelle…far from holy…….
but it meant Noah was devoted to GOD…
   in a time when it was “NOT POPULAR”…he LIVED IN FAITH………

He had a SINCERE DESIRE to do the will of GOD !
 Noah , sincerely loved GOD…sincerely wanted to do the will of GOD…

God never lets his friends be destitute…
         never lets his friends be alone…..

Why did GOD open HIS mind….to His friends ?
  It says ” I call you not servants”  = John 15:15
   a servant only EXECUTES a plan
   a friend KNOWS  – WHY THEY ARE EXECUTED……

God let His disciples/ HIs freinds into HIS REASONINGS :
            of dying, resurrecting, returning, healing…..
      HE LET THEM be familiar with HIS heart, HIS mind…..

The GREATEST HONOR OF MAN – ” to be called the friend of GOD”

The next time we sing…” I am a friend of GOD, HE calls me friend ”

HE will, HE does…if we are sincere in our faith – step out obedient FAITH…
                                    if we are sincere in our desire to obey, to worship, to want, to live

There is no game playing…….with GOD
      Abraham, Enoch, Noah, Moses, the disciples….. = Friends of GOD
