For a very long time I've often felt like sometimes God is more distant than others in my everyday walk through life and in God. I would ask that each of you search your hearts and examine if you have similar feelings? In my daily walk, I might go days just fellowshiping and talking with God all throughout the day, then for some reason, it begins to grow into a few time during the day , then a few and eventually God will draw me back to HIM and get my attention and mind back on HIS tasks that I am committed to accomplish. And occassionally, satan will distract me for a day or two in an effort to distort my routine. But I never get too very far from God and HIS word that I don't realize what satan is trying to do.

But more recently, when I was praying and worshiping, God told me to simply, "Imagine or pretend that HE is right there beside me, and imagine that I see HIM when I talk with HIM, or like now when I'm typing on the P.C., or when I'm driving back and forth to work, or when I'm fellowshiping with a beliver or someone who doubts God's validity.....just imagine that God is with us and holding the conversation with HIS there beside me.

After receiving this message I can tell you that it greatly imporved my attitude and the feeling that God is always near! And it definately fills in those sometimes lonely days when I am alone and I would like someone to fellowship with!

Anyone else?

In God's love

Not close enough. Even though I am closer to Him then I have ever been, I want to be even closer, so my walk will never be close enough. Don't get me wrong, He has blessed me over and over, protecting me for the fiery darts of the devil and shown me more grace and love then I will ever know, but there still is a yearning to be even closer! I'll never be satisfied until I am with Him.

No matter where I am at during each day I know that he is only a whisper away though I may not call out to him at all times in my human struggle's I still know he is only a whisper away.

The old hymn does a heart good and it reminds us of a deep truth

"What a friend we have in Jesus"

Yes I know what you mean, I have had similar feelings, I will try to think more clearly. But I know God is drawing me into a deeper place. I have to make a greater effort, lets face it the rewards will be great too. SO you ask yourself what is stopping me....distractions that I let happen I think. A day that is too busy, my problem. Thankfully I know God and it is true, What a friend we have in Jesus.

I am truly blessed.

God is right there I just forget that He is and there comes the problem and the trials get tougher and tougher.

I love God with ALL my heart and strive to draw closer to Him every day, even when my flesh gets in the way.

The more trials come my way the more I find myself pressing in closer to God. I don't like trials but they have really been coming to me and my family. I find myself spending more time in study, devotion, praise and prayer. So, I guess it is all for good. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
