Shepherd Me
The short answer is, living on planet earth, once ruled by Satan, means; we are screwed, and we must reach out to God first. The true God, because of sin, is limited in approaching His creation when His possession -- woman, ark, prophet -- was born He had access.
Satan is living, against God's heart, the contract of caring for humanity. Satan was given every opportunity to keep her word to God to let humanity worship Him. But like Pharaoh of Egypt, Satan kept hardening her heart against God. Finally, Satan chose to force all of humanity to experience sin. God gave up the Christ and the Christ won what Satan lost. Satan earned her death sentence after choosing whoredom giving up his former birthright. Satan was the firstborn spirit son who betrayed all Creation.
Satan has a contract to care for humanity, and God has no way of knowing by what we worship that we want to serve Him and not Satan. It is because of God's ark He can breach Satan's world. Without the ark God cannot reach out to His creation first. Once Satan annihilated the first century Christians, apostasy raped the church and knowledge of who God and the Christ are became lost technology. God just might greet you as His ark, mac, walks by, listen for His voice.
Our imperfection means, our requirement is to declare, "I want forgiveness, life, to know the true God" in prayer in "Jesus name." What is even better is that in prayer it is possible to hear from our Shepherd, the true God; because God's ark walks the earth and freely gives knowledge of how to meet God. Use His common Hebrew title, Yahveh, and His other titles that define Him in the Bible. Praying in "Jesus name" is paramount. We are imperfect. Christ, the resurrected Jesus, is our high priest.*
Above all, learn the love the true God has for you. Each day, perform with God, His Daily Verse using the Bible while in prayer. Follow the directions of How to Get God to Talk to You and look at the key slides while in prayer. You will be pouring your heart out. This with Bible reading will draw you close to the true God and He will share His voice with you. He will take the time to let you know He knows who you are as you get to know Him. (God asks, "Why should I want to know you?")
