It is God working in real time in ones life... It is the hand of God actually and really working in a life...This is what we all need.. This is what we all need to see and experience in real time in our lives... As scripture says; John 4:42 (NASB) ~~~~ “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves~~~~” We need to hear it for ourselves, we need to see it for ourselves, we need to experience it for ourselves...God really and truly working in our lives whereby we and all we cross paths with, can see God working in our lives... This is the working of God in our lives.. Which, as the scripture puts forth can only come through faith, through one trusting God to be as good as His word... So is His word good? Can we take Him at His word? Did we really die when He died? Were we really raised with Him, that we might walk in newness of life? Can we really trust Him to manifest these things in our lives in real time? Can we really trust Him to live His life in and through us? The working of God in our lives, is it but a fantasy or something real? Blessed is the heart and life that will not let God go till He proves Himself in their lives...

How easily it is to give phrase when your life isn't in jeopardy for loving and worshiping the true living God. I speak not against your post, but ask you all to give thought as to why you believe and to what measure. God Bless JTF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For it is true that there are many believers in harms way....But to God be the glory that they are believers, for simply being a believer means that you have experienced the working of God in your life to a degree.....For one can’t be born again, have the Divine nature brought to birth in them without the working of God in their life..But there is, and can be always, a deeper experience of the working of God in ones life..So to that increase in the knowledge and experience of His working do I ask that God would enlarge us all.. Be so blessed as the love you have shown grows and abounds towards all. A fellow servant of His, Not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gods Grace is the condition of functioning.....our Faith in Jesus Grants us the Grace of God,,,,the Finished work on the cross has been accomplished already,I only have to believe the operation of God (the Act of Sacrifice,the Act of taking my sickness,disease,Taking my sin,my death etc,,,) I hear people say,"you have so much Faith" I don't think its anymore or any less than the measure of Faith God Gave us at our re-birth(part of His operation)......But I believe what Jesus Did & that the same Spirit that Raised Him from the dead(Gods Operation or working))is the Spirit in me....Power & Authority In other words,like Jesus Said...only a little Faith will move a mountain,God is not moved by our Faith...God is Faithful to HIs Word .....make sense?

Now THAT, is really something ...........and when compared to 60-90 yrs down here......... = REJOICE ! Reader, aren't you glad for the day you realized that once you are with God for about 4 of His yrs, you probably wont even remember much about this horrible world, or care. And after you are with God for 40 of His yrs, will you ever remember that you were here at all? ???? Being "heavenly minded", is a good thing, A really good thing. Keep your Treasure there as that is your real home. Edited April 2, 2020 by Behold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I suggest that it is not necessary for God to "manifest" these things in real time. It has been set to be manifested from before the beginning of time; as God has foreknown and predestined it all including real time. That I do may not yet see what God knows, and has known from before time itself, does not negate the sovereignty of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. More than that I can praise Him, I do celebrate His Glory. For He has provided me the Good Shepherd to secure me. Jesus has in turn indwelled me with God the Holy Spirit as my comforter till He returns personally for me. Yes I can and do tust God. He has given me the promise That He will return and meet me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
