I've Been Looking for God for Over Ten Years | |

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 Reighna1 |

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. 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! 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. |

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. |

NOLAangel User ID: 77174443 United States 05/21/2019 11:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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? |

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.

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? |

Helpful replies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Why aren't you looking within then? Until you love yourself unconditionally with compassion, you will not commune with him.

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. |

Things will start happening pretty quickly and you will be amazed. Quoting: john b 70637860 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. Maybe you are looking for your preconceived notions instead of truth. |

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? |

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.
