God speaks to people of this age through The Bible. Everything you need to know can be found in The Bible. Especially the most important part of God for a person to know and believe.

Is how to receive God's free gift of Eternal Life, through belief in Jesus, the promised Messiah the only begotten Son of God.
Jesus is the resurrection and the life and only through belief in Jesus, a person is given God's free gift of Eternal Life salvation. They become a born again child of God, that at the very moment of belief in Jesus. They cross over from death to life, never to cross back over to death.

Seek and God will come to you. Sometimes it takes time. I was seeking God for years.

Matthew 7 7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking until He answers. It’s belief in Jesus that opens the door to God. I agree if you really want to know God read the Bible and get good instruction from a Bible believing Bible teaching church.

If we seek from our heart there is only ONE GOD that will answer. The one that said they seek out Mystics.. have no clue what they are playing with very unwise. The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Jesus Christ are real. A Muslim man I forget why he went to prison in like Iran. So he was preaching Allah to everyone there. So he wanted to hear from Allah so he fasted for a week and nothing happened he said he was done with all of it for there was no god. He said in his cell this bright light and a man standing with holes in hands and feet. He said he had such fear yet knew how unworthy he was how wicked all he could do was run to the corner of the cell kept crying forgive me forgive me. He said the man in white touched his shoulder and all fear was gone and said I forgive you.

The Muslim man asked who are you? He said I am the way the truth and the life. The man said that means nothing to me. I am Jesus Christ. Then showed him this open vision and all the people who are sinners, wicked unrighteous and said how easy was it for me to forgive you? The man said as easy as drinking water. He said as easy was it was for me to forgive you I will forgive them but who will tell them?... What always got me about this was the first time he shared it the moment he got to Jesus showing up in his cell he could not stop crying. I think 15 or more years later I found him and and he was sharing that story and the moment he got to Jesus showing up it was like the 1st time he could not stop crying. In his cell he asked the lord for a bible. He said the next day another muslim man comes by and said he was told to give him this bible..

So He is real.. for God so loved the world He gave His only son that who ever believes in him shall have ever lasting life. With the mouth we confess Jesus is lord and with the heart we believe. So ask tell Him.. there is no other way to heaven to the Father but through Jesus Christ. With out Christ we have no power over the enemy that would no offense be mystics also. A witch one day asked this preacher to come visit. So he went over there and that place looked like what you would expect haha. So as he was there the witch showed him all these news clippings of bad things that happened and how he did all that. It was true. So the witch gets right into his face saying "so what can your God do". The preacher is searching asking God ...a please say something?. God said "don't put me to some stupid test".

So the preacher told him one day those spirits will come for you what will you do then who you will call on? He said more but its all lies. A group that worshiped Satan one them that got saved talked about how they would conjure up this spirit and would send it after people. He said they did this one day and then the spirit came back very made scared saying "never send me after Christians". Another two young girls going to see this band back stage and one got in but the other the man said no. She asked why? He said because your a Christian. See every time that girl left the house mom prayed for her. In my own life..

I was coming out of this meeting where a preacher came to teach. It was now very late dark and this was in Hollywood. So my little truck was about 2 blocks away. I was very happy as I started to cross the street the lord said "RUN". I thought.. run? Why run I'm not scared. He came right back and said "When God tells you to do something you don't question it you just do it". To that I smiled said YES SIR! I start to run. I get across the street and to my left is a big apartment building with double doors and pitch black inside. Just as I pass two people run out jump in the car and start driving backwards after me. Ok haha now I am VERY scared I cross the street I can still see the Church then to my left other side is my little truck but I notice two big men just standing there in the dark standing not talking. One was on the sidewalk by the passenger door the other on the grass by the front bumper. As I start to run over the car chasing sees them and takes off. I run over get in drive off.

What hit me later was...why was I not scared of those two big men just standing in the dark not talking. Just had peace. Anyway I have many more but Jesus Christ is real. He came to save this world to call the sinner the wicked to repent. To save them..they are why He came He died for them us no other so called god has done this. And every other so called god spirit what ever will RUN show fear at the name of YESHUA/JESUS Christ.

So don't believe me no I mean it. Seek with your heart has to be He does not play games. Jesus..if you really are who you say your are. They say your the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and Jesus over the Christians.. is this true? <---anything you want.. but ask from your heart.

The way to experience God is through experiencing His nature, so for example, when we do good works, we are experiencing God's goodness.

Also, sometimes we need to become more aware of how God has moved and is moving in our lives.

Determined the time and place of our births:
-“And he made from one man every race of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted epochs and the fixed boundaries of the places where they would live;” (Acts 17:26)

He formed us:
-“For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb” Psa 139:13
-“Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?” Mal 2;10
-"I will put ligaments on you, place muscles on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh." Eze 37:6

He has a plan for each one:
-“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jer 29:11
-“And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose,” Rom 8:28
-“who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time eternal,” II Tim 1:9

He gives us life each day:
-“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psa 118:24)
-“The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.” Job 33:4
So He continues to be aware of you each breath.

Doing what God likes and commands could attract a direct answer from God or a miracle. Otherwise, God does not allow Himself to be tempted.

A relationship with the Lord is not based on feelings .... the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer is helping them to turn away from sin (transgression of the law) ... and that work of the Holy Spirit is over our earthly life time. So ... a rhetorical question ..... which way are you progressing? Turning away from sin .... or embracing it?

"feelings" can be (and often are wrong) not to be relied upon ..... rely upon what is written in HIs Holy Word.

 

[tturt]

Accurate about not basing our relationship on feelings but understand what Isaac is wanting.

IWe can be guided by - In His presence, there is fullness of joy Psa 16

One way is to worship God. Begin with praising Him and giving thanks.

experience seeing/hearing/feeling god .... a relationship with God is not this.

One forms a relationship with God by studying His Word and willfully following the precepts taught therein.

If one has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior ..... then one experiences changes in their thoughts and actions .... led to repentance (turning away from sin) ... this is the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer and continues throughout our earthly lifetime ... this is our connection with God .... through the work of the Holy Spirit and discerning the will of God through His written word .... it is His will for us to overcome sin. We will never be perfect until Jesus returns and we are resurrected ... but .... nonetheless we are to strive towards perfection.

It is sin (transgression of the law) that separates us from God ..... through the Holy Spirit ... Jesus will help us to overcome sin and thereby we will have a closer walk with Him ... until He returns and we are changed completely for eternity.

1 John 3

Children of God

1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him. 2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. 3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure.b

4Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.c 5But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.

7Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.e 8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.

9Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

Follow the Lamb!

Every time I get a new electronic device, the instructions say to read them before calling the help number.
The scriptures are like that. If you don't read the instructions, perhaps that is why it is not working for you.
