“I know thy name.” “You are the God who sees me." - Genesis 16:13 "But we have renounced the hidden thing of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the work of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." - 2 Corinthians 4:2 (NKJV) "May God be gracious to you and bless you and make His face Shine upon you." - Psalm 67:1, NIV When I met God during a period of illness, there was a component of evolution, but I wouldn’t know how to describe it and a perfectly scientific manner, but I think with the Lord‘s help I could do it biblically. There was a process that I took that I think He led me to naturally, but I didn’t know it until retrospect. I had gotten sick and got bitter and resentful for the experience and then had a period of mortification when the effects of that came back and it spurred about three months of self introspection. And I sort of went above the emotional triggering and just looked through every character flaw - and then I reached the end and had to go through the fear of death because that was really what was causing the blockage in my psychology. It led to this rapid expansion where I began to feel a lot of deep concern for the collective suffering of all mankind because it’s something that every person can relate to and so it’s a common thread between every person… I looked at a picture and became very present and met God in the middle through gratitude and acceptance, and saw him in the sense of truth and love like having a stain in my psyche removed. And He spoke in my heart. And to get onto the subject of evolution - it felt like the convergence of a myriad of actions that all had a greater purpose - and the point was to culminate a meeting so that God could witness himself, and everyone could witness him through his creation. And it felt like this expansion of life where everything good and bad and scary and thrilling and seemingly insignificant like the wings of a gnat and the tiny spots on the color of an autumn leaf, and all of it had such an important significance, and it was so beautifully perfectly organized that from the perspective of just living as a person in this one itty bitty little bubble… I didn’t realize that I was part of this huge community that included all of life - and then I became aware of the whole “tree” - with God as the sole being that was holding everything together. What it looked to me, was ancient life and love, the very source of all things looking back at me, like a domino chain that creates a picture. The formations of rocks and the positions of stars can hold significance for what the Lord wants to convey, Trees can speak and different species are their own societies. Open the gift with love and gratitude. Compassion 🧭 He said that life is a gift and a miracle, and I could feel the fact that anything existed at all, and that the center of that was love was the biggest and most beautiful and pure miracle ever. All for God’s glory. Amen. 🙏 “I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you.” Isaiah 43:25 GNT Mercy. 🌊 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Speak life. River.

Not the time for me to discuss this. (Can’t delete.)

He says it is like coconut water for Him, very refreshing to be in this way: Savor God. Open your heart. Give, give, give - Love and mercy, adore = a door. I have opened a door for you no one can close. - REVELATION 3:8 He makes one tender hearted, and this makes fruit. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters. - Psalm 23:1-2 Admittedly, I still struggle with this… So learning this has come through a lot of trial and error and repentance and trying again. He says it’s like you live your life where you are making a meal, and what holds it together to make it fruitful is love. So everything that you do, and there’s a learning curve with it because there is this thoughtfulness that you have to put into each action - But I use the acronym J.O.Y. - Jesus, others, yourself - Jesus is the vine, but everyone else is attached to this vine and so their well-being is intricately linked to your own, and when you put yourself at the very end… it does this thing where it allows God’s blessing to flow down through you, but it also gives you this bigger picture perspective because you are stepping back to look at the whole picture as much as you are able to from where you are at - if that makes sense. Because that’s kind of like how it is when you meet God, he’s at the very center of all creation (Jesus) and is giving love and nurturing everything that he’s made - and then there’s everything else (Others) - and when you take the servant attitude of putting yourself in the back you have the privilege of seeing all of that. (Yourself) like a funnel. I learned this through… still struggling with being humble and trying to approach life in this way, but it waxes and wanes, although… I think it’s getting better. Student mentality. Don’t know much. God bless! P.s - I asked if this was ok. His response is: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever! - Psalm 23:6 (Thank you Lord. 🙏✝️)

I asked the Lord, and because His church is connected/united - He can give me answers to other peoples questions. For you He says: I will trust even when I can't see it even when I can't feel it even when my heart is shaken I will continue to trust in the process of His goodness and faithfulness. And You need to know that he chose you, he adopted you, he secured your destiny, he forgave you, and he sent his Spirit to you. And ...You were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession - to the praise of his glory. - Ephesians 1:13-14 If you feel fear or doubt, praise the Lord and those moments. Praise in the face of fear is like covering yourself with a blanket that He gives you. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. I have this prayer on a tin on my wall right in front of me and felt the need to look at it. My alarm for 8 PM tasks went off, right at reading “eternal life.” ♾️👉🩸✝️🕊️⛑️

Hello, I don’t know if you are reading the thread, but I relate to the struggle of dealing with fear with those things. I asked the Lord about what to do in this circumstance, and He said that He is seeking hearts that are seeking Him. During my journey, I have begun to cultivate a strong love for the Lord, and what helped for me was an initial introduction into the love of God that was poured into my spirit. I believe that you can pray and ask for this experience and keep yourself open to it - one way is to focus on just how wonderful breathing feels, and just really immerse yourself in the feeling of being alive - and give whole hearted gratitude for that. You’ll feel it. It’s like warmth and comfort in the very center of your chest - just a little bit lower, like the rib cage area. Just breathe it in and say “Thank you thank you. Thank you Jesus for the gift of life.” You just give thanks, because He has saved you and you believe through that faith - and you receive it with love and then you grow your love for God, And like… you add that as an essential ingredient into the little things you do in life - as if you were making a cake and that was the ingredient that held everything together. It’s like the glue. That love is like what you used to attach yourself to the vine and it nurtures your soul. God bless you! 🙏💗✝️👋 God is within her, she will not fail. - Psalm 46:5 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

I had to give it some time to think on my response and wait for the Lord. Pertaining to what you wrote about passing out Bibles, I would keep your hopes up. That’s how I came to know the Lord when going down the wrong path. There were people placed in my life on three occasions that offered me a Bible that I took, and I bought a Christian cross on a whim that I kept both at a festival dedicated to salmon. And again, when I was in the hospital, the janitor placed Gideon in the rooms and allowed people to take them home. After returning home from the hospital, I wanted a yellow room like the one I stayed in because the colour is so cheery and my family and I sold their home and I moved back in with them and… I did get that yellow room… The front door has a knocker that is a Christian cross with two hands holding a heart. Later, after falling into the same stuff, I picked up my Bible, was convicted, truly realized that God’s words are alive and that’s when I fully converted. Never underestimate the power of planting a seed. 💗🙏

I have the gift of prophecy, it’s still being honed. Started with an illness in 2016 and God opened those doors for me. Opened other things, but He’s closing them. I met God, but didn’t know - Other things led me away, all the while, trying to find Him again - But I guess there’s a lot of mimicry. Things can come to you and promise things in a certain way and then it turns out to be something else. You see more like some of the effects of what is happening, and it’s not always clear. I rely on God a lot because I recognize my weaknesses very clearly and only the holy Trinity is really able to do anything. To me it feels like getting a lot of different puzzle pieces and you aren’t entirely sure of the picture that you’re making you just get a piece and it often fits together very cohesively with the Word, but sometimes there is inaccuracy do to my own human nature and I have to pray and refine that. An example of that would be that I had a honeybee fly into a spiderweb and pulled it out and buried it near a plant that has a rock with a painted Christian cross in the soil. The next week, I noticed a spiderweb on the lemon balm. And had an intuition that something would happen, but decided not to mess with nature. When working on my testimony on blogger, the orange letter B with an arrow pointing in the direction of the web gave me the instinct to look at that moment another bee got caught, and I also placed it under a leaf in the pot next to the other one. It would take pages to describe, but it’s essentially that kind of perfect timing but with everything all day - Much of it mitigating the effects of warfare. I feel like a student being taught, Learning how to share and when… And then, also in the process you realize the aspects of your own sinful nature - I like it to being pulled out of the constructs that society has tried to glue people in to. The gift of prophecy can be kind of lonely, because when following God very closely, it just happens unintentionally - it creates a divide because whatever is going on inside of people stirs reactions in them - so you get a lot of negativity sort of coming out of left field… like it isn’t instigated. Spiritual pushback happens, but it’s confusing because you’re just a little human trying to follow the God that you love. And then, in the process of explaining what you’ve discovered, there’s also your own reactions in the face of another person’s reactions that you have to try to learn how to work through from a biblical standpoint and it can be difficult to do. I spend a lot of time checking the accuracy of what I’m getting to make sure that it is what God wants, and still struggle with resistance to some old ways of being - from my experience, although I’m sure that everybody has a different way that they come to their faith - God came to me through letting go of the fear of death and feeling gratitude for looking at an image while I appreciating music and the letting go of the fear along with a few previous months of self introspection, and then the gratitude sort of created like a meeting in the middle. And then, after that was six years of confusion following the wrong things. And only when I came to the end of myself again was I able to reach out to Him, and that’s when I started developing a connection with Jesus. But it was out of illness and desperation, and a crack in the psyche. But as I grow more, I realize that it was all planned to go this way anyways. From the time I was a kid until now through the various things in nature - and the body of Christ. So many people and they’re coming and going have offered me answers to prayers. So there’s a witnessing of it, but you see that everybody else is just as important and involved in this nuance sometimes they just aren’t aware. A very beautiful interconnection between many things. James Earl Jones recently died, I was listening to the Bible with his voice, but felt insecure - I’m still learning discernment - he died a few days later and I read that he was Catholic and I felt really bad for being anxious and was looking through his Wikipedia and it said - don’t you want to be free? Next to a photo of him in his youth. I go to look at my Bible and in my notes on the page that I turned to it says “accept your freedom”. I like the saying about that even if prophecy is removed that love always stays - and I read that last night when going through this thread and right after my alarm went off and was 8 o’clock! And then I looked through my roster and the picture says Jesus loves you! I think that’s the biggest thing to remember is that the path is always through really loving God a whole lot and allowing your heart to open and just to let that love grow. “And He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.” 🕊️ - Luke 7:50 KJV Thank you Lord!
