» heisthekey - Re: how do i know he's here
Great question!!! All you have to do is believe that God is in fact real. So real he sent his son, Jesus to the earth to die for us. If you admit to God that u are a sinner (a sinner is anyone that has ever sinned this include something small like a lie to something big like murder)and you believe he sent his son to die for you. The bible says that," if you confess with your mouth that you are a sinner and repent, they you shall be saved." Saved means saved from an eternity without God. When you do repent Jesus will live within you and guide you if you listen to his direction. If you have the faith to believe then you will indeed be saved. My advice would be to buy or go to the library and get a bible and start reading John is a great place to start. Not knowing which area you live in I would suggest that you look for a bible believing church. Calvary Chapel if you have one in your area would be a great start. You can talk to a pastor and I'm sure he would show you the way to God and show you how in fact he is real. Hope this answered your question.

In response to message posted by troubled:Hi
I am a thirty-three yr old Child of God. I have been saved for twenty-three years. When I got saved (asking God to forgive me for all my sins and telling Him I was sorry and asked it in Jesus name) I was very young I know, but I prayed and ask God to guide me where he wanted me, and when I wasn't sure I'd pray again, and read the (King James Version) Bible. God would give me the spiritual guidance that I needed at that time. You have to meditate and read the Bible and pray alot to stop and hear the Great Father God's Spirit. God's Spirit is something that you can never miss-understand. You have to let go and let God do his work. Just when you think He's not there, He is. Listening to everyword and waiting to see if you make the right choices. God is very sweet,tender, loving and forgiving. If you pray and ask for guidance he will answer, He won't yell and scream it, you have to be quiet and listen. You will feel it also, a gentle pulling and tugging at your heart. Here is a message from God to my Dad:
The "Touch of the Lord"
It's more softer,gentler,kinder and quieter than the touch of a baby.
But Oh!, How much more greater and effectiveness is wrought!
Neither can It be felt as a great physical movement.
It is only noticed by and through the Holy Spirit,
as a gentle breeze refreshing!
Or the breath of God completely restoring,
If God can re-establish a poor groping, wondering soul,
By the gentle, calming breezez.
How much more by the moving of His hand?
The touch of the Lord.
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift!
Also this is helpful to remember
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This is my favorite verse. When I start doubting of Him being there I remember this verse. God is there and He loves me. I have a son and I can't imagine giving him up for someone else. Only God can do that, because He is. I hope that God has touched your heart and gave you the answer you needed. Praise God!!!!
God Bless,
Your Friend

In response to message posted by troubled:It's simple....you believe. Now i know that nothing in this life is simple at all, and that at any given chance the enemie would try n sweep us up into the dustpan and chuck us in the garbage...
Don't go by feeling...for a while i always use to say If He's here then why don't I feel like He is...it's not feeling we are to go by at all...it's that wonderful stuff called faith...something we all have indeed and something that will grow during our walk with Christ. When someone says to you "just believe"..don't look at them like they're crazy...and when you do believe don't take no for an answer. Thing is when we believe and have faith that the Lord is with us it's almost as though the enemie get's in there and tries to convince us otherwise..the enemie can not stand a believer-follower of Christ...Ask to be covered in the blood of Jesus, for Him to wash you clean. I believe in my heart that the enemie can not be where the blood is applied.
I don't know if any of this is helping you, but here's the deal, we all go through tests in life, God does indeed work in many mysterious ways, His time is not ours...We look at things in this life and shake our heads, while God looks and knows the answers and how to deal with what we shake our head to, and also what we don't shake our heads at. Invite Him to be where you are, get into your prayer closet..just You and God one on one...He'll be there. Have a relationship with Him
..Afterall He is your Father..ask to be closer, ask Him to draw you nearer..but most importantly my friend, believe in your heart that God is making this happen today.
Don't worry so much...God can't wait to have a relationship with you. He can't wait to reveal His love to you..Let Him do your worrying, and you just keep on praying I know what it feels like to be troubled, but you will overcome this as well as many other things during your walk with Christ. Just let Him be there...ask Him to clean out the rooms of your Heart, and fill each one with Him. It's the junk that we carry that we need God to throw out..we all have it, there's nothing to be ashamed of there, that's why we need to ask the Lord to cleanse us each and every day of our lives.
Well my friend may God be with you. Be persistant, let God know that you're not going to give up on Him...for He will never give up on you.
God Bless you.

In response to how do i know he's here posted by troubled:Hey! I also went through a period when I felt like i was talking to the ceiling. Then one night, I felt so convicted. I started to pray about how i could have a real relationship with Him. I trust too much in myself, but I finally realized I needed to give all of my hopes, fears, and just everything over to God, and believe that He will help me. That is when I started feeling God in my heart. Then I knew I had to listen. I would lay in bed expecting to know exactly when He spoke. It isn't like that, in my case, it is just a thought I had never thought of before right after I pray. It isn't always the perfect solution to what ever problem I have. Remember, Christianity is based on faith. My Bible study leader always tells us faith means "Forsaking All I Trust Him". Another acronym for faith is "Forgiveness, Available, Impossible, Turn, Heaven" -We need forgivness for our sins- It is available because Jesus died on the cross for us-it is impossible to get into heaven without forgiveness-to get the forgiveness we must turn to Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior- If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9) and will spend eternity in heaven praising God. I hope this helps. God bless.
