Communication with God

[jesussaves]

The Lord gave us His Word. In it He has left us the examples of people who heard His voice...Jesus said His sheep hear His voice and they will not follow another...His word tells us that the children of the Lord are led by His Spirit and that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth...speaking to us what Jesus said...stay in the word...be renewed each day through prayer and study...abide in the Vine (Jesus) and be amazed at His goodness.

Here are some ways the Lord speaks to us.

Through the reading of His word.

Through the preached word.

Through songs in time of worship.

Through the prophetic word and interpretation given in church.

Through dreams and visions.(Matthew 1:20) (Acts 9:10)

Through the still small voice in our spirit as we wait on Him.

Through the unction of the Holy Spirit.

(You'll find the rest of these in your Bible if you look them up in a concordence, such as Strongs Concordence, which I find invaluable)

Sometimes just a one word unction like, wait, be still, stand...or an urgency in your spirit not to go there, for instance once I was driving in my car and the Holy Spirit impressed on me to slow down and not go through the green light just up ahead of me and another car just in front of me...I pulled back obeying His voice...the car in front of me was hit by someone who ran a red light. Had I been behind that car any closer I, too, would have been hit.

Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth...(Samuel)...and the church says...yes Lord and amen.

I do not care if you believe me or not. For your acceptance means nothing to me. For I am not here to live for you nor serve you. I work for He who created me and it is His acceptance that I strive for. As I stated ask God if what I said is true or not. Let Him show you the truth. In the love and grace of my Savior and God Yeshua.

Let me ask you a question. Do you believe that Yeshua is God. That He came in the flesh and that all things He said are true. That all must go thru Him to enter in to salvation that there is no other way. That no longer is there a need for an intercessor between us and Him?

Driving into work this morning God brought to my attention a good friend of mine Val. She is an elderly Jewish lady who grew up in an Orthodox home. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer. While she was in the hospital her rabbi used to come in and pray with her and so did yeshiva students who went to her synagogue. One morning a man in is thirties wearing a prayer Shaw came in and sat down and started talking to her. She looked in to His eyes which she described as the most loving eyes and deepest brown she had ever seen. He called her by a name her mother called her as a child. No one but her mother ever called her that name. He read to her some psalms and then read Isaiah 53 with what she said was a great passion. She had never heard Isaiah 53 read aloud since they do not read in the synagogues she attended. He told her she would be ok and that her Father in heaven loved her. She asked Him His name. He said

I believe that in scripture when Jesus says 'the world will see me no more' He was referring to the people of the world who do no believe in God. As children of God we are no longer of this world. IMO.

I would like to share something personal here. My intention is not to persuade anybody, because we are all in different places in our walk with the Lord. Each of us has unique experiences because we are unique.

Here goes,

As a very small child for many years I was sexually abused by a relative. It went on and on for a very long time. I remember the last time that this relative came into my room to abuse me.......

I was sitting in the corner of my little bed with the sheets pulled up around my neck. My bedroom door opened, and I gazed into the eyes of a person whom I believed was the devil himself. I was 9.

I felt the weight of an arm around my shoulder, and an undeniable strength and courage rose up within me. I looked straight into the eyes of my assailant, and very calmly said "If you touch me, I will tell my father". Pretty courages coming from a child. My bedroom door closed, and my relatives moved far, far away.

It was years later that the Lord revealed to me the significance of that night. You see the pressure on my shoulder was Jesus sitting beside me. And as much as

'telling my father' meant in the natural...."My Father" in heaven was already taking care of me.

That experience has allowed me to not blame God, but rather to embrace Him. It has taught me forgiveness....for without it I would have surely have perished.

Blessings,

Karen

Let me ask you a question. Do you believe that Yeshua is God. That He came in the flesh and that all things He said are true. That all must go thru Him to enter in to salvation that there is no other way. That no longer is there a need for an intercessor between us and Him?

Respectfully, every fiber of my being screams that this cannot happen. It simply is not Scriptural. I'm not calling you a liar. I believe you saw something but you know there have been many manifestations and beings in the world who do miracles, there's even statues that do miracles. Mary, Meitreya, every voodoo priest in Haitii etc. I'm just saying be careful because even though some wonderful things happened to you, deep down you cannot deny that this is not Scriptural.

As for your questions, Yes Yeshua is God. Praise Adonai!!!!! Of course. I have a Messianic background given I've been blessed to have a dad who is a wonderful Messianic pastor. Yes we need Him as an intercessor - not sure of the questioning though.

in Christ

By going by that statement you will see me no more, Paul, didn't see him then. I quess Paul witnessed some voodoo spirit that claimed He was Messiah. And all the fruit that Paul bore was a mishap of these spirits that happened to glorify God.
