All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

For Starters

Lately I have been having a hard time reconnecting with God, and its like I know why, but for whatever reason I keep asking myself why, avoiding what I know in my heart holds the real answer. I avoid God in a bunch of aspects in my life and Im pretty sure im scared, probably because the Devil whispers these sweet, hollow little promises of happiness and fun, money, power, and I sometimes fall for it, and think that what God has in store for me will be the recipricle of what I want.(SELFISH I KNOW). I think my entire life has been one big theatrical play for how easily the devil turns us away from God. Dont get me wrong, those little plays are usually realized, maybe a little later than they should be, but they are realized, hence why I joined this site, and also downloaded a new Holy Bible App for my phone that helps me find a reading plan for certain needs that I may or may not know I need. By the way, I tend to ramble when I start a new journey towards Christ, thats just a disclaimer. Im not sure if you can subscribe to these blogs, and im not trying to gain attention from others in a selfish way, but I will have more blogs to come about tough times that im having and if anyone reads them, and knows of a bible verse or a message that would help me gain persective in Christ, I would really appreciate it.

Comment by Mona Sianipar on February 20, 2010 at 5:55pm: Psalms
139:7 Where could I go to escape from you? Where could I get away from your presence?
139:8 If I went up to heaven, you would be there; if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there.
139:9 If I flew away beyond the east or lived in the farthest place in the west,
139:10 you would be there to lead me, you would be there to help me.
139:11 I could ask the darkness to hide me or the light around me to turn into night,
139:12 but even darkness is not dark for you, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you.
139:13 You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb.
139:14 I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart.
139:15 When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there--
139:16 you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began.

Blessings,
Mona

God wants us to be authentic Christians who are living out of a transformation that has come from the inside out and not just some kind of external religious thing. Nicholas, God is devoted to your spiritual growth and He will provide for you all the elements needed to live a victorious, joy filled, fulfilling life.

Always remember when then the devil starts lying to you telling you all your missing out on, and how much you will have if you just do your own thing. Remember he always promises you heaven, but you end up with hell.

Comment by maggie hancox on January 19, 2010 at 12:52am: :S you sound almost as complicated as me!
Word of advice dear freind, we tend to complicate our relationship with Father way and beyond what is reasonable.
Love ... let go and let GOD.
For we know there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus..but do YOU beleive it.

Forget about trying to do right ..(we are saved by grace not works) and spend all your focus and energy instead on giving praise up to God (rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice..not a 'feel good' statement but a comand!) , and thanksgiving to him for the good things in your life..
Phil 4v6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God...;and verse 8.Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

You see dear brother, the way we have been programmed is to condemn ourselves! and to expect condemnation and punishment..
We need to reprogram ourselves with the Word of God and get to know his GOODNESS for there is no darkness in him!

If there is something you feel you are doing wrong and/or are hanging on to..just tell God you are struggling with it..not like he doesn't all ready know! Give it to him, ask him to forgive you of your weakness and to help you to love him more so that you can let go of it.
Ask him to teach you about the fear of the LORD..and understand the word 'fear' is not what you think..it is a reverential fear..not a 'punishment' kind of fear.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind...those who are afraid are afraid for death, as love has not yet been perfected in them.

Ask him to perfect his love in you.

But in all things 1) give it to God. and dwell no more on it! 2) Give praise and thanksgiving 3) think on the goodness of all that he is and has done.

Having our mind renewed is a choice dear brother, and we have to get our mind off of the wrong programming of the world/devil and realize we truely are on to a good thing!

For he is faithful to complete in us the work he began, until the day of his return.

Be blessed
