1 | How can i MEET God? | Ps 132:1 | Mommapbs | 149711 | ||
Greetings SMO (?) - Look up the Scriptures referenced in this post! In reading Jer 29:13 and Acts 17:24 it seems to me that a change of heart is necessary. Imo, you need to change the way you think about God. You can't "catch" God nor can you manipulate Him by your actions or determination. The Lod knows you from the inside out; He knows what is motivating you. (Prov 16:2)Imo, you need to repent of this quest for God to "show up" - to "prove" an intimate relationship - which has in fact led to your doubt.(I believe this is actually a good thing, because it brings you to a place of choice - to believe or to doubt. I have always found it best to "doubt my doubts." If I "doubt" my doubt that God will show us I am more open to seeing Him as He wants to reveal Himself to me!) God IS all around us,(Num 14:21) where can you go from His presence? (Ps 139:7; Romans 8: 35-39) The problem as I see it is that you are looking for evidence in a self-centered manner, not allowing God to reveal Himself as He purposes for you. Sometime we just have to trust that He is who He says w/o ANY proof. That's faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.(Heb 11:6) Imo, this is your crisis of belief. I encourage you to confess and repent of your attempt to manipulate God (Yesterday i planned of fasting until God came to me (in a manifest presence), to show him the determination of my spirit to meet Him.) and choose to believe that He is always with you, whether He chooses to reveal Himself or not. Start there. God loves you just the way you are; you don't have to show or "prove" anything to Him. Thank Him for this and choose to believe it! Read Eph 2:8-10. Lastly, I'm just wondering, are you SMO or a son or daughter of SMO? Blessings, mommapbs |

S.M.O are my initials. and thanks for your reply. I mulled a few things over, and my last post did sound very self-centered. I still desire God to come to me like He did to Moses, or Elijah, and am wondering why He doesn't speak to us like that anymore... But i am content with God's amazing love and i can now TRUST in His wisdom, that anything He chooses is the best way. |

SMO: You write, "I still desire God to come to me like He did to Moses, or Elijah, and am wondering why He doesn't speak to us like that any more." Read Hebrews 1:1,2 and cease to wonder. --Hank | ||||||
4 | Ive neva seen him this close to slipping | Ps 132:1 | SMO | 149864 | ||
I have a close friend who is also going through this same dilema, but seemingly far worse than i am... he says: yeh but I don't care, I don't care about anything. Nothing. Not even telling others about god. All I care is that I know God. I've always been like that. I dont even care if I'm a servant to other servants of God in heaven. I just want to be allowed into Gods thrown room to see him i don't care if he kills me after just one visit. I've never seen him this close to slipping in his faith... last year, whilst i had slipped from Christ, he was encouraging me, leading me back to God (despite my refusal). He isnt usually weak or mislead... any response to his comment? |

Continue to be a true friend and repay the favor. That which was done to you in your despair the year prior. Repay the favor. WOS |
