Practicing HIS presence club

[freyajem]

Me too! frey...My mind is constantly thinking on Him..sometimes not so positive things..like asking why etc..or Lord, I HATE this going on..or what is up with that. BUT He is always on my mind.

Whatever we are doing Judah

or whatever we are saying or anything, God is there to give us a lift, point us in the right direction or just be quiet in us, with us. I see the word whispering, someone said it in reference to God....He whispers so lightly, we have to be still to hear. If we fill our lives with hustle and bustle, sometimes we miss the whisper. Oh, I can almost feel it.

So true dear sis.I have been thinking the same thing about my own life,so have decided to spend less time at the computer and more time in my recliner in prayer,reading, and bible study. I want to get ever closer to God and to memorize more scripture. Plus now I will be attending a church that has mid-week bible study as well.

too cool!! love bible studies!! when is your mid week bible study? what are you studying?

 

[lonnienord]

I talk to God on the regular like I do my earthly friends. I stay in his Word constantly to learn more about Him and to study His ways. Through prayers I tell him my needs and express my thanksgiving.
And I feel him in the wind that blows and when the sun shines on my face. I obey the Father's commands so I will be called his friend!

what are HIS commandments?

OOPS it is Wed.,but unlike other churches I have been to,this is not Bible study night at this one,it is praise and a message,which I still love,but a lady friend is thinking of starting a Bible study with ladies from several different Baptist churches,for study,fellowship and support.

i just answered a letter from a guy on death row. He ended each sentance: "Keep Praying" i was very happy to be reminded that i want to always keep praying!!

Every time I want to get something for free, I just ask Him, and He gives it to me. I think it is because I am such a good Christian. My telepathroid gland gets exercised at least 12 times daily so it is stronger so God listens to me more often.

Hello Everyone.
I made a promise with GOD this year to get to know Him, and study and to talk to HIM everyday!

I can't express the peace I have felt. I want to lead a life that my childern will follow. To know Jesus, and love HIM.

I have been reading the Bible everyday! (Thanks to Lonnienord forum for BIBLE STUDY! )
Before I go to sleep at night, I talk in my "head". My husband is usually asleep.Does that count? Can Jesus hear me? Or do I have to talk aloud?

I might have to talk to Him while I am in the bath.

I love to sing praise and worship to Him at church. I have started going to Wed. services. I have not missed any church.

I also expereince the Holy Spirit, when I talk to a Spirit full person at church. Or when the Pray Warriors lay their hands on me. I can feel the Holy Spirit coming from them. It is almost like a goosebump... shivering feeling.

I hope I grow in Christ. I want to depend on Him 100%. I want to feel Him ALL DAY!!!

Dear sister in Jesus,no,you don't have to speak to Our Lord out loud. God is surely going to Bless You for wanting to get closer to Him,as you are already discovering this is true. He fills you with such Joy it amazes you. I am so happy for you to have discovered this,and I pray you will never forget this on your spiritual journey.

That is so neat. God is SO good..and He is there with us all the time. God hears you when you speak to Him in your head. He is good that way! Thank goodness..cause I am always having 'chats' go on in my head!

 

[lonnienord]

great amswers!! JESUS is so very good to us!!

 

[HisBelovedMelody]

Better than what I deserve sometimes. I am so trying to learn how to rest and trust TOTALLY in Him. That is so hard for me..I am always being a 'Martha'.

That's a great name!

Sounds like you are going to become a "Mary"!

 

[HisBelovedMelody]

Thanks. I am working on it. Well, Judah is after my dog, and Judah also means praise..and of course, Jesus is from the tribe of Judah...and I praise Him. That is how I came up with that.

thank you. I look forward to your comments.

Practicing HIS presence is an important form of prayer.

Why should we pray all the time? Cause GOD through St. Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians said: Pray without ceasing.

 

[Valentine]

Ps. 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. (2) My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

I keep these verses in my heart every day and I see God in the delicate petals of the flowers, the grass that grows, the birds, the butterflies, in every place I look and everything I touch or smell, I feel His presence. He has blessed me far more than I feel worthy to be blessed and His spirit lives within my heart. I pray that He will find in me the kindness and pureness of spirit that I should always have.

Thank you Lonnie for this lovely thread.
