What is it like to live with Christ?

[gray wolf]

Withdrawn. I am finished

[missmuffet]

I give my life,my heart and my mind to Christ every day.I do my best to be obedient to Him.I am His servant.I love Jesus Christ with all my heart.I sacrifice the things in this world that I feel He does want me to partake in.This world is only a journey, my home is in heaven and the Holy Spirit reminds me of that daily.I could go on and on about the Wonders of God but I will end with this.

You know a few things stand out in your post.

 

I'm not feeling too good today and so perhaps, I'm not the best person to answer your questions, but I want to share this with you.

 

When we look at a child saying their bed time prayers they have no doubt to who they are saying them to.

 

If we asked them, "Does Jesus love you or if He was there for them?" their look would be one of amazement as to why we asked the question. 

 

Their reply would certainly be , "YES"

 

You see, they have a child like faith, they don't need complicated mind games,

nor books other than the WORD, or complicated discussions and debates to tell others how much HE loves them and plays a part in their life.

 

Sometimes we adults complicate things for ourselves.

It's good that we have intellect, a searching mind, the capacity to look at all sides of the coin.

Yet at times personally, I think we just have to sweep away our pride and go to HIM as a child.

 

Children are humble when they pray , they seek and find HIM in a simplistic way.

They read when they can and according to their intellectual stage in life accept HIM just as HE is.

Pure love.

 

As adults we can fall into the trap of not seeing the woods for the trees.

 

Brother seek HIM with humility and HE will be there for you, because HE has always been there for you .

 

There two lovely verses , 

Heb 13:5:  

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

 

Heb 11:1:

" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." 

 

Having said the above , 

 

Faith as a child must mature , so must we mature into a certainty , a heart felt joy that brings us a real confidence in the object of our faith,

which can only be Jesus Christ.  

 

Faith is believing the Word of God and acting on it. 

 

God bless you brother , you are in my prayers. 

Love Nigel.

Thank you both for your thoughts.

I am also tempted as you are and I often fail. But I experience Christ deep down my heart. When you are tempted, do you always hear a voice trying to stop you from falling? It's His voice. Christ is speaking to you and he will always speak to you when the need arises.

The voice that you hear from God that keeps you from sinning is called The Holy Spirit and your conscience.

I don't think I could answer much better than I did in quirkybirds journey post. 

I would not be alive today, nor have the amazing wife and family I have today except for the grace and presence of Jesus Christ in my life. This is truth! I am thankful.

If my prayers are answered then things are about to change....    Gray Wolf, meet Jesus....    he's the reason the cross is empty.....   he's the reason the tomb is empty.....    he's gone to be with the Father for a short time, but has asked the Father to send the Holy Spirit to teach us.....    you can talk to him and in the quite of the night He will speak back to you in ways that you will know it's not you.....   the more you talk and listen, the more he will speak......    but if you keep your scientific critical mind in gear, he will be very difficult to hear....

 

 

Get off to yourself and tell God you've lost control and you just can't do it by yourself and let him take over.    but let him take over.

 

 

When I asked what to say, this was his answer...

We are all sinners in this world.Even you Elijah.If you think you are not you are mistaken.The ten commandments are dealing with the OT.Jesus Christ died on the cross since then.
