Bible Question (short): How can i MEET God? |
Question (full): This is a long and complex question. Let me start by saying, I want to be with God intimatly. I have learnt a lot about God. About were He's been, what He's done, what He's like... but i want to 'MEET' Him. My spirit has been in a lot of termoil over this for quite some time now because, using the terminology of Tommy Tenney(author of a book called 'God Chasers'), i can't seem to 'Catch' Him. This Psalm 132 (and 130) i feel reflects my situation... i am so so so hungry for 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. But when talking about it to my Mum (who i assume is wiser than me, being older, and a Christian herself), i felt shot down. She explained that it wasnt a good idea because God doesnt really care if we fast or not. She filled my head with doubt as to whether He would come or not... and so on... Im not saying my Mum was wrong, but maybe i should be. I have done a course at my Church called 'Shape', (S is Spiritual Gifts, H is Heart, A is Abilities, P is Personality, E is Experience), and learnt that (as i always knew) i am a very naive and gullable person, much to my dissadvantage... i cant seem to make up my mind about where i stand. As you can imagine, this has added to my distress.... I need help. Does anyone have any advice or a Word for me...??? |
