Walk in the Spirit moment by moment in dependency upon Him, sensitive to his voice in our life and in obedience to Him. It is His way NOT my way.

I’m learning to be sensitive to the INITIAL promptings of the Spirit. Thank you Lord! I get it now.
 
thanks, maybe that just isn't my kind of praise. I grew up southern baptist and we just didn't do all that, sometimes people would catch it but there wasn't a segment dedicated to it.

When I started to cry one lady grabbed my hand and had me get up and dance with her. I felt so stupid cause I felt nothing and I felt like it showed. I am just going to try another church as I need the support of a church family. I can't do it on my own. Thanks everyone.

Thank you, L-rd, for taking care of us today. It is a good day, even if I didn't get that free car battery. The trouble was a blessing in disguise. Thank you!!!!!!!

ETA: Hmmm :scratchch We shall see. Whatever the case, L-rd, guard my heart and my mind. Especially my mind..cuz you can jack up your heart with a stupid decision of the mind.:lachen:

why can't I feel his spirit? I want to be close to him but I feel something blocking me. I don't feel him when I pray even though he is listening. I used to feel him when I was youger now I don't hnow what to do. I want to give up like why bother, but I know he is the answer. Any suggestions please tell me, pm me, something.

I was in church on mother's day and they have a segment where they praise. The band plays music and everyone was jumping around dancing and crying. I started to cry to not only because I missed my mom, but also because I couldn't feel what they felt. I thought how beautiful that the Lord was touching them like that and I cried because I felt nothing. What is this? I seriouslt can feel the block on my chest keeping me from allowing him into my heart and spirit. I don't want it there, what do I need to do?

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10


"And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. " I Kings 19:11-12

Be encouraged my sister! Allowing God in your heart doesn't mean you have jump around, dance and/or cry. When God is in your heart, you can see it in the way you live, in how you treat others. Just look at the example of Jesus. Was He somehow out of touch with the Father because in the Scripture, He wasn't jumping around, dancing and such? Absolutely not. He spent much quiet time in communion with the Father and reaching out to others.

Ask the Lord to make His presence known unto you. Do you often go out into nature (in a park or on a secluded beach) and just observed? The Spirit of God is everywhere.
 
"Waiting here for [the Lord]." Lord I thank you for your fellowship and presence. We thank you that we will have a great and productive day today. And may the Lord show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
 
When you are blessed, your blessing becomes irreversible.

No, I will have to find somewhere I think there is a trail around me somewhere. I know I don't have to do that now but why can't i feel him? You know that feeling you get hear a good sermon or even when you pray. I can't feel his prescence. I know he hears me but I feel like everything would be more effective if I was in the spirit. This all just happened to. I feel like part of me lost faith in him because I thought he would reunite me with my family and I don't know how to get back into him.

Are You telling me something here? Hmmm....well, if this is Your will, then I know from past experience that it will all work out. I'm waiting and vetting, looking at it deeply. Pretty interesting, though. Well, whatever Your will is, let it come to pass. Amen.
 
I know this come off old but what a mighty God we serve..Lord I don't know what is coming over me but I want to do right so much now.I still have a issue of cursing and fornication but I feel conviction to not do it.Im making the best of what I have and will enjoy the journey.
 
I am praying for revival in my life...I feel so drained, I feel that work has sucked some life out of me. I just want that vibrance, excitement for life that I used to have when I was younger. Hopefully getting in shape and sticking with my lifestyle changes will help out with that. I just feel so sluggish, tired and fatigue and I need rejuvination...guess I need to get in the bed.

Praying for less anxiety and fear about the future as well...

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Anxiety does not accomplish anything, its just wasted energy. Leaving things in God's hands and accessing the peace that can only come from Him.
 
God I thank you for being constant.Im up at 10pm watching Prophetess Bynum No more sheets.Its time to let lose of the sexual impurity of my life and soul.I feel the shame of it from my past which I feel is like a million lb weight on my head which makes it nearly impossible to left my head high esp in dealing with men.I never wanted to be the world's whore but it happened.Now with the blood of Jesus I can be clean and pure..Lord I thank you on today that you will clean me as white as snow without blemish and I am worthy for your love as you so mercifully bore my sins on the cross.
 
Boast about the Lord’s love for YOU. Not the other way around.

I am the disciple whom Jesus loves.

What say you? :look:
 
I thank God for His mercy and long-suffering!

As I watch the news and read mockery about the rapture. It all may seem harmless now but one day it will not be funny. I am so thankful that God does not have the temperament of mankind. If he did all of us would likely be destroyed by now.

God is going to have the last laugh. He don't have to rush to judgment because He is the First and the Last; the Beginning and the End. He has nothing to prove to mankind.

Lord please continue to bless us with grace and mercy.
 
I'll never be able to make myself acceptable to God; He does that for me, so long as I come to Him without any pretense -- just as I AM. He'll take me to where I AM. His Holy Spirit ensures this.
 
Thank God for wisdom not to keep on messing with the same nonsense..I so desperately want to be desired by men but in the same breathe I will not go back to the old me and do it by any means necessary..Its not cute nor worth the horrid feeling after.

i could've wrote every single word of this... this sums up EXACTLY how i'm feeling at this present time in my life....

"oh what peace we often forfeit... oh what needless pain we bare... all because we do not carry... everything to God in prayer." it really is that simple... prayer and supplication.
 
I am learning daily to rest in God's love

I am going to focus on what I have and enjoy what God has given me.

He is awesome. He is in control. He has my future in His hands. He hasn't forgotten about me. His heart is full with thoughts about me. He loves me more than I can ever imagine. He is with me always ... even now. His love endures for ever.
 
Lord I love you even though I know the devil wants me to continue to believe Im in capable of loving.Lord help me to stop seeing myself as a fallen or broken wounded angel.I want to see me the way you do in order for me to love and see others the same.

I have such a hunger for God I dont know why.Im up researching sexual purity books,christian living books and devotionals..its not time to run and be loose its time to dig deeper,plant my roots in Gods everlasting garden that never leaves you dry..God I want your water its not bottled nor needs purification and it never leaves me thirsty..Man God is great even with the correction I feel I m happy I dont feel my heart so icy

Disappointment--His Appointment

"Disappointment -- His Appointment"
Change one letter, then I see
That the thwarting of my purpose
Is God's better choice for me.
His appointment must be blessing,
Tho' it may come in disguise,
For the end from the beginning
Open to His wisdom lies.

"Disappointment -- His Appointment"
Whose? The Lord, who loves me best,
Understands and knows me fully,
Who my faith and love would test;
For, like loving earthly parent,
He rejoices when He knows
That His child accepts, UNQUESTIONED,
All that from His wisdom flows.

"Disappointment -- His Appointment"
"No good thing will He withhold,"
From denials oft we gather
Treasures of His love untold,
Well He knows each broken purpose
Leads to fuller, deeper trust,
And the end of all His dealings
Proves our God is wise and just.

"Disappointment -- His Appointment"
Lord, I take it, then, as such.
Like the clay in hands of potter,
Yielding wholly to Thy touch.
All my life's plan in Thy moulding,
Not one single choice be mine;
Let me answer, unrepining --
"Father, not my will, but Thine."

Edith Lillian Young

Job 23:14
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me:
and many such things are with him​

Lord why do I get mad when Im done reading your word.I get upset that I finished my daily devontional.Im still like a baby more like a toddler who is learning to walk and talk but still fails horridly.Im excited yet nervous about this week long Rehma service.Im excited the Dr.Bynum will be preaching but Im nervous because its in a place I have never been to and it will be filled with church folk..God dont allow my fear overwhelm me and make it easy for me to excuse my way out or miss the message bc Im stuck on stupid.

Lord I praise you and I pray and can firmly say you got me and all the sisters on this site those who know you and those who dont.
 
Heard a wonderful homily at Blessed Sacrament up in Erie. What a wonderful young priest!! He was so taken by the music and is an excellent homilist. Lesson? John 4. Background, Samaria was the "1/2 breed" nation of 1/2 Jewish/pagans who didn't have the full truth of G-d's law. They were despised people. They were so despised, that no self-respecting Jew would cross through their territory. They were considered the dissenters, false, heretical.

Point:

Jesus and the disciples crossed through. Peter was expecting Jesus to flash lightening bolts and whatnot...but Jesus' response didn't reflect any of that. His first convert was the Samarian lady at the well. She was that mustard seed and when the disciples went back to Samaria, the church was alive and well!!! The H-ly Spirit had been at work. Jesus didn't need to condemn and beat folks over the head with words of doom. He was giving them their free choice. It's the leading of the H-ly Spirit that changes a heart...and the changing of a heart is the greatest miracle of all!!!

Loving Admonition:

Let us be kind and wise in our words as they influence the faith of others. You don't have to force-feed the faith because G-d is still in control. Look to Jesus' example with Samaria. What a wonderful homily. Wish I could have it on podcast because this priest was on fire!!!

Keep giving Him all worship, praise and glory. Keep giving yourself over to Him. Keep sacrificing all of self on the cross. Keep casting the adversary out of your body and soul into the deepest ocean or at Jesus' feet. You will get past this time and look back in relief of His help in cleansing your life.
 
I'm confused, truly confused...I'm tired of feeling this way.

I know that He is the only one who can tell me where to go from here...

I've decided to fast, I've never done one like this before and never for this long. I need strength to get me through...please pray for me. Thank you.
