So why is there that little doubt in your mind? When Jesus was here he had no doubt. He said he knew the father was always with him. He never had that little doubt. He did always the things that please the Father. But you do not. Sometimes you do not know whether you do or not. That's the truth. Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was or is God. Please read on. When Jesus directed his disciples in fishing he told them to cast their nets on the right side of the ship; not the left, or front, or back. When they needed money to pay the tax he directed them to the fish with the coin in its mouth. Does he direct you, directly, like that? Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was here in person. Please read on. When the Lord spoke through Ezekiel, the prophet said, “The spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, ‘Go, shut thyself within thine house. And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover. But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD’”. Would you not like to be clear about God’s will as that? Please don’t say that was the Old Testament. Read on. It happened in the life of Paul the Apostle. After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately they endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called them for to preach the gospel unto them. Wouldn’t you like it if the Lord led you as definitely as that? But now he says sow the seed, though some may fall on bad ground. Preach the gospel even if it is the wrong season. Come to think of it, Jesus spoke to the people even when some had no ears to hear. Ezekiel was to speak whether the people would listen or not. Paul preached in Macedonia and got put in jail. And some of you are reading this and asking what’s the point. And some of you have an answer, mingled with doubt. You say God never leaves us alone and you forget that he sometimes does that “for a small moment” (Isa 54:7). You are not sure that he does not do that for a longer period of time. Are you confident he has given you the answer you are about to give? |

[When Jesus was here he had no doubt. He said he knew the father was always with him. He never had that little doubt. He did always the things that please the Father. But you do not. Sometimes you do not know whether you do or not. That's the truth. Please don’t say it’s because Jesus was or is God. Please read on] Jesus was alone in the wilderness and when on the cross. No presence of God "felt" here. He was totally alone with just the assurance of the written word and His own faith the father would perform all He purposed. Your post is very insightful and deserves thought by everyone who seeks intimacy with Father. The examples you site are kingdom of God experiences. |

Do you realize that the times when we are left alone is the times when we are sinning. I don't know the purpose of Jesus's being alone in the wilderness but then again I always thought that meant he didn't take his deciples with him because while he was there he was fasting and praying. I also believe that the only time Jesus was alone was when the devil came to tempt Him. Also Jesus was left alone on the cross when He bowed His head and died and the earth turned dark. These two times He was left alone was because God can't look on sin and sin was in Jesus's presence both times. | ||||||

I understand what do you are driving at. My reasoning has to do with Jesus, as a man, being tested...Not unlike Job to some extent and certainly not unlike Adam who failed. If He is our example then it stands to reason we will encounter much the same kind of testing that we be approved unto God, faithful true and able trusted. When we fail at that endeavor we have an advocate with the Father who contunually makes intercession for us in our behalf. If it can be seen in that light you will experience joy and not sorrow when things seem to go wrong in life. A learning proccess to be sure. 1 John 5:4 (NASB-U) For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Faith carries with it JOY. |

I agree. If Jesus Himself was tested then who's to say that we should not be tested also. | ||||||
