guys this is a little difficult to explain but I will try my best to explain it.
I love Jesus and trust him and trust him with all my heart . but as for god my father. well that's a different matter I haven't heard his voice in so many years (could that mean I've lost my way from him cos I feel like I have) my heart long to hear him but all I hear is the devil voice . I really want to have a relationship with god cos I know that I'm his child ( his long lost child in my case) also is it important to go to church cos I've had so many people telling me it is and then the next it's not so I'm confused to know weather it is or not??. And there something in me telling me to go back there (church) but I just can't face it . guys I hope help and sorry if this is not clear as I said . this is hard for me to explain .
My brother I again encourage you to walk by faith and not by sight, when I first got saved in 1988 I heard Gods voice at every turn audible as if the Lord Himself was standing with His hand on my shoulder guiding my every step.....then it stopped and I went nuts !
thought God had for gotten me ....not so. He was showing me what faith was...our strength is that we walk by faith and not by sight...learn this lesson well my son it will see you through many hard times and trials.....Who among us knows the length and breadth of the
Love of God or can fully understand His ways for our good and His glory....please take heart .God is doing a perfect work in you...Rev. I thought Were in church right now as we seek His will and word..? I still attend local worship ..but I assure you this is church..!
Many thanks to Rev T.S.Perkins for his help ( as he the only one who's replied to my post!) . I'm going to explain this one more time and I hope someone can help me out (aka give me advice) as I said in my 1st post I love Jesus with all my heart and soul and I hear him talk to me . But in the case of god my heavenly father , this is a different story. All I ever hear is the devil's voice and not god's voice . It's been so many years since I heard him talk to me . Now I feel like I'm his long lost child that's crying out for him , crying for my heavenly farther cos I want to have my relationship back with him . Every time I try to talk to god, I immediately hear the devil's voice and him laughing at me . Guys can you please please help me on this cos I don't want to be lost from God anymore and what I really want is to have god back in my life .
Lord as i read this post i hear the heart of a child lost in the woods longing for their Fathers voice of Comfort please wrap youre loving arms around her that she may feel secure it youre embrase..I know that when i was any where but near you i was the most meserabile of men ..I pray that you speak to my sister that voice that calms alll fears and brings alll understanding ..Father send her a Robin to sing of youre Praise and lead Her back to where you are in control ..Lord remind her of all youve done and how much more you have in store ..And now Father last but not least I ask that she know only youre voice that the Holy spirit be a filter to her ears and heart and she follow the voice of no other so you may be Lord of all for all to see..Father i ask that you speak to her with that voice that splits the seas and lays the mountains to waste for youre Glory and my sisters Healing ..In Jesus name.....Rev (sorry bout the brother thing just caught that ...Lol) other than praying for you the best advice i can give is this ...Look back at all Hes done in youre life and know its just a taste of What lies ahead ..If you are in a dark room youre comfort is in knowing where all is at because you saw it in the light ..this is no different The blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimoney is where it all starts ....The devil will not encourage you to go to Church.!!! match what you hear against what Gods word and his nature are .youll do well....As im reading over youre last post something is impressed on me ..when you learned how to walk you were taken by the hand and led..Now you have been let go to grow into that which was set for you before youre mothers womb.Have Faith...!in this and know that maybe just maybe you are hearing His voice but forgot the sound..It happens to the best of us ....look the devil straight in the eye and remind Him Youve got the biggest Daddy on the block..and he will flee.being the coward he is!...Rev
Rev T.S.Perkins thank you so much for your inspiring post. your post really helped me to see things clearly . thank you also for your prayers, now I feel somewhat better than I did. But the only quesion I have is how do I use the sword of righteousness cos I know the bible talks about using it . But how can I use it as a weapon against the devil ???
I commend you on you're question ..Gods word is the only weapon we have against any thing we may face and here is the best part the devil learned its power in the wilderness with CHRIST AS HIS SCHOOL MASTER...Gods word has been proven through the ages and will stand even when the earth fades Away...and that's where it all starts .. Remind the devil that he was defeated on the cross and that judgement still stands today in spite of any thing he may throw at you ... You don't have to prove anything to him That he doesn't already know as spiritual law.. He is Liar. And a thief..! Put him under foot and count it as 10 ft of good road.! YOU BELONG TO GOD and God alone none other has right to you unless you bend and allow it. Doing all to stand therefore stand and know you're God is LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS and shout it in his face.. and be bold about it ! I my self have learned to smile and laugh at him when he comes at me because the joy of The Lord hurts his pointy little ears....may the glory of The Lord be you're banner....and its not the sword of righteousness.its the sword of the word shaper than any two edge sword it cuts comin and going and is very good at defeating rats like him.. in Jesus name..Rev
Since we're talking about the Armor Of God I want to make a second mention..and I might add my personal favorite
The Shield of Faith ...when Gods army's went in to battle their shields were as tall as they were and when the enemy came in they would embed or plant the first 6 to 10 inches of it in the ground and lock arms...! And that don't budge ..So as you and I plant our faith in Christ and lock our arms in agreement we are not moved . But with stand the slings and arrows of the enemy..! Rev
I had to have the fearless maturity or personality of a crime scene investigator (from CSI: NY/Miami/LA television series) to understand the causes of sin since Adam and Eve had sinned in the Garden of Eden - and why God would extend his curse of death, since it was our first human ancestor couple's fault, onto innocent future generations where violence, crime, dishonesty and disease had plagued human history. I had to allow the eternal spiritual living Jesus Christ in my heart to protect me from all times as he is our Lord of Health and Safety, especially where construction work or military/police work is involved in our global multicultural community. Injury or death is like a dark scarecrow that remains invisible in daylight, ready to stick it's leg out and trip you over when you least expect it. To think that Jesus just visited Earth once to show his weaknesses transform later on as an all-strength eternal mind and body after he rose from the grave - might seem like his visit on Earth will only happen once in a lifetime. Revelations does say that his Second Coming will stop us from second-guessing or losing our interest, knowing that his return will be anytime hopefully soon during this 21st century so that we won't have to have Satan around creating false thoughts and facts about Jesus - no messing with our lives once Jesus has defeated him. We also won't have to worry about the health and safety of our homes in our suburbs because God's kingdom is the ultimate green clean home accommodation along with free meals and endless pure water, a kingdom that will replace all homes modern or wretched on a new disaster-free Earth .;*;.Rev 21:2 .;*;.God knows our future human progress of science and technology to fight global warming - and his invincible kingdom is global warming-friendly
