Re: I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years
I believe fully that if you see Him with your whole heart you find Him. I believe with all of my heart that Christ is Lord.


To not know but to seek leaves you open to know Him

Say God, I don't know you. But reveal yourself to me.. be genuine. Be willing to see His response...


Perhaps He will move you to open the Bible, the book of John is a good place to start.

Perhaps he'll move you to a good sermon.


I like Dr. Stanley 's daily devotionals at intouch.org

I will pray that you find your answers

You are still breathing.

Thats a result.

The moment you call on the name of the Lord...he protects you.

You will only find out in hindsight how many times you COULD have been harmed or killed but were not.

Angels are assigned to you now. And God will reveal himself to you at exactly the right moment.

Dont go by what you see...or feel. Go by what HE says. "Those who call upon the Name of the lord...WILL...BE....SAVED".

You can bank on it. As God CANNOT LIE.

He is CONTRACT BOUND BY HIS OWN WORDS TO SAVE YOU.


Ask Him to reveal himself in dreams...or events...in ways only a God of the impossible can do.

He will..IF YOU ARE SERIOUS...HE WILL BE SERIOUS TOO.

If you seek him with ALL your heart...YOU WILL FIND HIM.

That is also one of HIS PROMISES.

And he CANNOT LIE...OR BREAK A PROMISE.

Well, my life has been entirely a waste of time, hasn't it?
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.

The last 10+ years? Well, that especially hurts considering how much pleasure and great fun I've denied myself in pursuit of the truth.

king Solomon was right....Vanity, all is vanity.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13358554


There..see?

You already KNOW this world and its so called "pleasures" are a trap...and a waste of time.

The reason you instinctivley KNOW this is because...HE KNOWS you want to find him.

Already he has placed eternity in your heart.

The seed is already there.

I too spent many years doing what you did...finding out that its all pointless vanity.

But very FEW people are "blessed" with this knowledge.

Only the chosen ones...chosen BEFORE the foundation of the world have this KNOWING.

Your time is coming ever closer.

A treasure must be sought to be found.

And you are getting very close to finding.

And then you will be SO GLAD you never got cought up in the worlds crap.

God has other plans for you.

NO one can come to the Father UNLESS Jesus calls them.

And you ARE being drawn. This means you ARE chosen...or it would NOT be taking place at all.

Soon you will know.

And in 10 million years from now...you will wonder why you ever worried about it.

I look forward to meeting you.

Btw...in 3 weeks...the Lord has a special "surprise" lined up for you.

Then you will know.

And then..YOU WILL FIND.

Brace yourself.

No surprise yet. I'm still waiting! afro
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13358554

But are you still looking?

Many surprises are only realised in hindsight.

What have you been doing in the last 21 days?

Have you relaxed yet and just chatted to God and told Him everything?

He already knkws it all. But it helps to verbalise things for our own sake.

But dont worry or panic.

You will know soon enough.

He promised a surprise.

Broach the subject with Him.

And see what halpens in the days following.

And dont worry...im in the same situation but on a different level.

Two weeks ago He said simply "Everything will turn around for you very suddenly..but right before it does it will look the opposite...TRUST me at that point and see what I do".

Right now im almost broke...and the sale I was counting on didnt eventuate...and ive had to move..again.

But from past experience its always ALWAYS like this just before a major turnaround.

So...it seems we are both awaiting somethinv awesome.

And as always...right before the promise happens...it always looks the bleakest.

But that way..he gets all the credit..and WE get all the JOY.

Be patient now...and watch....its coming.

And I speak for both of us.

Serious answer (It worked for me) but it could put you in danger.

Pray and tell God you can't figure it out on your own and will need Him to show you. He will, if you go into it with the right attitude (as in not rebellious, but sincere). He'll give you the truth. If not, on judgement day you can tell him that.

Note: Fair warning. This is what I did and it nearly got me killed. But I made it after an 8 day experience that quelled all doubts.

Are you the same bloke who was so kind to me three weeks ago? Your ID number has changed.

I've been praying for you!

The sheer fact that you answered my message must mean God is ready to bless as I honestly didn't think you'd reply. Also I've been really depressed the last couple of weeks and I was questioning my sanity too! Questioning my sanity because I was believing what a stranger told me on a conspiracy site! cruise

BUT

God's ways are not our ways. afro

Let's stay in touch! What time (US) is best to reach out to you? Is this timeframe good or would some other timeframe be more convenient for you?

I'm going to go to bed now but before I fall asleep I'm going to pray a good while for you! I want God to richly bless you!

I'll be looking forward to talking to you soon...I'll check this site tomorrow!

Re: I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years
I just wanted to add that I feel the closest to God when I am helping others.

People look for a grand purpose and it has been there all along in plain sight.

Jesus said, What you do unto the least of these, you do unto Me.

When you pray for others, help others and just be a shoulder to lean on He will be right there with you.

Im back. Im on glp every day from this time. Its 930 am here.

Anyways...what I said yesterday about God about to give me a surrise..well..ya never gonna beleive what happenned just now as I turned up at my workshop. (Im an opal cutter..i cut and polish black opals) anyways...my friend vets back from interstate this morninv and he had a friend with him...who wants to buy just about my entire stock of gems.

And whats more this bloke wants me to cut stones for him too (he is an opal miner) so im gonna have so much work now ill be busy busy busy.

Ive just had to move again too and that used up the last of my funds. I was down to $25.

This arvo when he picks up the stones my wallet will be packed full again.

Just in time to purchase a nice parcel of rough stones thats just came in from the fields.

So to recap...yesterday...broke...trusting...NEEDING a sale very badly.

Today...all sold out...and more raw material coming in to make more and the promise of steady work.

See...just gotta trust.

And I bet your prayers helped too. God wants to show you he is REAL and cares.

When you pray for blessings for others..God then is free to bless you too.

Ive been praying for you as well. And I bet he has something amazing lined up for you.

But the lesson is..PRAYER REALLY WORKS.

And when God says he has a surprise lined up...it will come from a totally unforseen and unexpected source.

That way...HE gets all the credit.

I didnt look for this sale...didnt see it coming.

He lined this up for me for YOUR sake...to make a point.

So im saying a prayer right now for you...that your blessing will just up and drop into your lap in some weird way that could ONLY be done BY God.

I spent 30 and Jesus is very kind and wonderful and brings peeople into your life. I Am so grateful for the friendliness of Jesus.

the money thing is the most perplexing for me. I know the Lord will bless me if i am faithful. But for me i really do think i have some kind of organic problem. But nobody hates me there like in the world is so amazing. I look in mirror and i look so sick and nobody sees that.

But still in real world money is God. Money Money money everything is money soon as you set foot in the sun outside the church. Sure wish it wasnt so.

5a YIPEEEE! 5a

Last night before I fell asleep, I asked God to bless you with a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!

God certainly answered that prayer for you, didn't He?

I'm so very happy for you! 5a

How did you find God and how long did it take you to realize that He was real?

How long have you been walking with God?

How can you tell when God is talking to you? And how do you know it's His voice and not yours or some other?

Does God often answer your prayers?

Do you live a life full of Peace and Joy?

I'll stick around tonight for awhile if you want me to. I'll check this thread in about 30 minutes.

Re: I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years
This whole game.

Where you run around telling people shit they wanna hear. And this makes them.feel good.

For about 2 hours.

Till they sort of realize you're a Bullshit artist.

But we still love a Smooth talker who can make us forget for a few hours and hope.

Because addressing the real problems. Takes serious people. Who are seriously concerned about right and wrong and being stepped on and economically crucified by satanic witches

Re: I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years
...

But are you still looking?

Many surprises are only realised in hindsight.

What have you been doing in the last 21 days?

Have you relaxed yet and just chatted to God and told Him everything?

He already knkws it all. But it helps to verbalise things for our own sake.

But dont worry or panic.

You will know soon enough.

He promised a surprise.

Broach the subject with Him.

And see what halpens in the days following.

And dont worry...im in the same situation but on a different level.

Two weeks ago He said simply "Everything will turn around for you very suddenly..but right before it does it will look the opposite...TRUST me at that point and see what I do".

Right now im almost broke...and the sale I was counting on didnt eventuate...and ive had to move..again.

But from past experience its always ALWAYS like this just before a major turnaround.

So...it seems we are both awaiting somethinv awesome.

And as always...right before the promise happens...it always looks the bleakest.

But that way..he gets all the credit..and WE get all the JOY.

Be patient now...and watch....its coming.

And I speak for both of us.

Are you the same bloke who was so kind to me three weeks ago? Your ID number has changed.

I've been praying for you!

The sheer fact that you answered my message must mean God is ready to bless as I honestly didn't think you'd reply. Also I've been really depressed the last couple of weeks and I was questioning my sanity too! Questioning my sanity because I was believing what a stranger told me on a conspiracy site! cruise

BUT

God's ways are not our ways. afro

Let's stay in touch! What time (US) is best to reach out to you? Is this timeframe good or would some other timeframe be more convenient for you?

I'm going to go to bed now but before I fall asleep I'm going to pray a good while for you! I want God to richly bless you!

I'll be looking forward to talking to you soon...I'll check this site tomorrow!

Im back. Im on glp every day from this time. Its 930 am here.

Anyways...what I said yesterday about God about to give me a surrise..well..ya never gonna beleive what happenned just now as I turned up at my workshop. (Im an opal cutter..i cut and polish black opals) anyways...my friend vets back from interstate this morninv and he had a friend with him...who wants to buy just about my entire stock of gems.

And whats more this bloke wants me to cut stones for him too (he is an opal miner) so im gonna have so much work now ill be busy busy busy.

Ive just had to move again too and that used up the last of my funds. I was down to $25.

This arvo when he picks up the stones my wallet will be packed full again.

Just in time to purchase a nice parcel of rough stones thats just came in from the fields.

So to recap...yesterday...broke...trusting...NEEDING a sale very badly.

Today...all sold out...and more raw material coming in to make more and the promise of steady work.

See...just gotta trust.

And I bet your prayers helped too. God wants to show you he is REAL and cares.

When you pray for blessings for others..God then is free to bless you too.

Ive been praying for you as well. And I bet he has something amazing lined up for you.

But the lesson is..PRAYER REALLY WORKS.

And when God says he has a surprise lined up...it will come from a totally unforseen and unexpected source.

That way...HE gets all the credit.

I didnt look for this sale...didnt see it coming.

He lined this up for me for YOUR sake...to make a point.

So im saying a prayer right now for you...that your blessing will just up and drop into your lap in some weird way that could ONLY be done BY God.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77670954


5a YIPEEEE! 5a

Last night before I fell asleep, I asked God to bless you with a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!

God certainly answered that prayer for you, didn't He?

I'm so very happy for you! 5a

How did you find God and how long did it take you to realize that He was real?

How long have you been walking with God?

How can you tell when God is talking to you? And how do you know it's His voice and not yours or some other?

Does God often answer your prayers?

Do you live a life full of Peace and Joy?

I'll stick around tonight for awhile if you want me to. I'll check this thread in about 30 minutes.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13358554


Gudday. I didnt actually "find" God.

Its more a case of HE found ME.

Ive always known he was real...just an instinct i suppose.

The evolution rubbish didnt add up anyway so my insticts were correct.

At 15 years of age I met Him. I asked Him to show Himself to me.

He did...and much more.

But then I got all confused...I was flooded with Joy and peace and could litterally SEE into the spirit world.

For about two weeks we walked hand in hand..open and continuing conversations...answered questions..it was amazing...until I got confused about something.

Something called "faith".

I asked Him to show me what faith was.

You see...faith is what you need and what you use when you CANNOT SEE...OR FEEL his presence or person.

So...he said "Ok...I will show you by practical application what faith REALLY IS".

And just like that...He vanished.

Gone was the joy...the peace...the fellowship..all of it...gone.

I could see nothing..feel nothing...I was on my own.

Only I wasnt...he was always there. But I could not sense Him.

Thus my lessons on TRUST began.

I ran from church to church trying to re establish the connection I had lost.

To no avail.

So i despair I turned to the world...to drugs...booze..party time.

I thought Id done some horrible sin to make Him withdraw.

I hadnt...All I did was ask probably the most important question ever...WHAT EXACTLY...IS FAITH?

The reason I asked it was I could SEE everything...what NEED of having faith in what you CAN SEE?


So acter a lot of years of trying to find him...giving up...then trying again...then giving up again...over and over...it finally dawned on me.

Faith is TRUST.

Trust HIS WORD...HIS PROMISES.

Despite what you SEE OR FEEL...HIS WORD IS TRUSTWORTHY..HE IS FATHFUL.

Never rely on a "feeling" or what you "see".

Thats how satan tricks people into the supernatural...its all based on feelings and what you see.
Satan can do amazing stuff too.

Thats why it says "IF it were possible...he would decieve even the ELECT".

So about 18 months ago I finally realized what it was all about.

And the REAL peace comes...when REAL TRUST is formed.

Like a child will happily sleep in a car while dad drives.

The child LIFE is in the fathers hands...but the child TRUSTS DAD SO MUCH..that he or she will sleep soundly..even when its raining and storming..as DADDYS AT THE WHEEL.

THATS true peace.

Do you follow?

Do you follow?"

Well, I never had your experience and I quote ".I was flooded with Joy and peace and could litterally SEE into the spirit world.

For about two weeks we walked hand in hand..open and continuing conversations...answered questions..it was amazing."

I also never had the peace or joy!

Because I never "Found God" I figured He wasn't real so I lived a hedonistic lifestyle. I came to the end of myself and I didn't want to go on anymore...But I figured before I do that, I'd better make sure God isn't real, because if He was, then I'd be worse...much worse after.

I do think God is real sometimes. But most often I do not...

I'm just all jammed up man. I want to find Him OR as you put it let Him find me. Either which way!

Shall we continue on or would it be more convenient for you to continue tomorrow?

Re: I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years
Seems our paths begun on opposite sides.

But the destination and the lessons are the same.

For example...He is teaching you the very same lessons He taught me...FAITH..or TRUST.

Except when He taught me I already had FAITH that he existed. What I lacked was FAITH that he IS ALWAYS THERE no matter what you see or feel.

With you...you have yet to meet Him. But you will..when He judges the time is right for you to meet.

Verything is worked out well in advance.

There will be no mistakes..at the end of your life you will look back and SEE the pattern of His Hand in your life.

As I look back over those "silent years" and realise he was there all along...working everything out for my good.

Thats what he does...he turns the bad situations to your favour...works them out for Good.

Make sure you are looking for the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.....ask verbally and you will find. Things will start happening pretty quickly and you will be amazed.

That's the One who I've been looking for.

For anyone interested in this thread...I'm in search of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Iam NOT interested in any other god. Additionally, I am not interested in anything atheists have to say.

From a human stand point, over 10 years should be a sufficient amount of time, don't you think?

When I look back on all of the years that I could've brought Him great glory, and much good pleasure, instead of living a life devoid of producing good fruit...empty years...it makes me wonder why He chose me to born at all. It's criminal the amount of time that I've wasted...it really is. I do not have much time left.

However, I am reminded of a previous letter from you that (with God) nothing will be wasted. God hates waste. In God's way, and in His time, my time to shine for Him will come.

As of right now, I wish that I was never born at all.

You seem very, very, mature in your faith and belief in God!

That said, I can honestly say that I've never met any one like you before.

I can honestly say that every member of the clergy that I've talked to and the many, many people who claimed to know and love God were all as dead as door nails and I'm not kidding! It's crazy, man...it really is!

Does God talk to you in the traditional manner or some other way?

How often would you like us to talk with each other?

I'd like very much to pray for you tonight. What would you like me to pray for you about?

Re: I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years
Wanna find God?

Find a stretch of woods far enough from civilization to be quiet, close enough to get back soon. A place you know, a place that’s comfortable, a place that’s wild. Mark out a 10’-20’ circle and a place distant enough for bathroom. Bring what you need to stay there but refrain from using light or fire, books, and certainly not phones. Bring water and bring emergency food (don’t eat unless needed). Stay in the circle for 4 days and nights. Do not leave. Have a friend check on you twice a day by leaving a rock at a designated place, no interaction. Leave a message if you’re in need. Break camp in an emergency. Otherwise just sit.
