Having God
We often wonder why it seems like a constant chase to find God, but I’ve found that the more I talk to Him, the more I see Him in my life. In this podcast I talk about the dealings of the Lord in my life and the thoughts I have regarding His word. I hope and pray that this podcast will also inspire you to talk to the Lord.
Take care and God bless!
Having God
Don't Make Prayer Hard On Yourself - Part 1
Prayer is nothing more than just talking to God. The important thing is using your heart and your imagination when talking to God. Try to imagine God so vividly in your mind that He is right there in the Spirit, and can not only hear you when you speak, but that He also understand the depths of your soul. He understands what you are feeling as you are talking to Him. So when you talk to Him just believe that He is there and that He loves you. Do not entertain thoughts that will make Him go away. Do not try to belittle yourself before Him and say, "Why should He come and listen to me? I am a nobody." Resist all these negative thoughts and imagine a God that loves you so much and is actually looking forward to listening to you and becoming your friend. If negative thoughts, like shame and reproaches won’t go away but instead they overcome you, then go straight to the heart of your problem. Don’t wait another second to say or cry out to Him exactly how you are feeling. Tell Him, “Jesus, cleanse me, help me! Jesus save me from all these shame and reproaches! Please forgive me. I repent from all of my sins and shame to you. Please forgive me and take all this shame away from me. Please take all these bad feelings away from me. You are my God! You are my King! I cry to You! Please save me!” Talk to Him from your heart. Don’t make prayer complicated with Him. The most important thing with Him is your heart. The Bible states that we will find Him if we come to Him with all of our heart. {Jeremiah 29:13} So whatever you feel in your heart, tell Him about it. Do you feel bad, feel ashamed and angry? Whatever you are feeling translate this to words and tell Jesus.
