God Means Forever When He Says Forever
•
I am only a Christian today, because God means FOREVER when He says forever. Christians raised me, but I held a few things against God and Christians that made me not want to be a Christian. I was skeptical, because I believed Christians were supposed to be perfect. I thought…

Does God Enjoy Our Laughter?
•
When I laugh I feel good. I feel better after laughing even if my circumstances don’t change. I believe we will laugh much more in heaven than we do here on earth. Just like all creatures in this world, our temporary, mortal bodies will die someday. However, Jesus the Messiah…

Appropriately Placing the Blame
•
During my prayer time with God, I was listening to some Worship Music. I was worshiping God and then suddenly a bad thought and feeling came and stole my joy. I thought it was strange how it was contrary to what I was thinking and praying about. I asked God…

Speculating How We Fit Together as a Family
•
After my mother’s death some of us family members started sharing stories about our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins that had passed away. It was surprising how we all seemed to only have a piece of the family story and about each event we had experienced. The more cousins…

Still Needing the Presence of God

I wish there was a way to walk continuously in the peace and presence of Christ Jesus. When I was 5 years old, I did not want to leave my Sunday School Classroom. I did not want to lose that warm love that was in my heart when the Holy…

Understanding A Prophet’s Accountability
•
As I was reading the entire Bible as a new Christian, I was upset by a few things I read. The story in 1 Kings 12-13 especially troubled me. A prophet named Shemaiah was given instructions from God to go and warn the sinful King Jeroboam to turn away from…

Seeking The Father of Love
•
How do I seek more of God’s Love? Matthew 7:7 says we need to ask for what we need. What is God’s love? God’s love is not a thing or feeling to chase after. God’s love we seek is actually God Himself. Seeking more of God’s love is seeking to…

Looking For the Perfect Hiding Place
•
I dreamed I was looking into a jet aircraft that was flying as high as it could above the Earth below. It was as if I had the abilities to see through God’s eyes. I asked God, “What’s up there?”. I looked closer and could see the pilot had something…

I am one Person and God is One God
•
During a Meditative Balance Prayer, God used my name to help me understand how important each aspect of our-self (soul, heart and mind) is important to the whole-self. As a child I was called Becky by most people. As an adult I used my name Rebecca more often. When I…

To Know Our Heavenly Father
•
If we did not have a great relationship with our Earthly Father, it can cause problems getting close to our Heavenly Father. If we love Jesus a lot, we might even be tempted to only focus on Jesus when we pray or think of God. In John 10:9 Jesus tells…
