I am excited for you!  God has put a burning question in your heart that most Christians don't even consider, which happens to be one of the reasons why Christianity is in its current divided state.\n\nThere's so many directions I could go with this...but I think I'm going to try to keep it short and sweet.  Here's the main verse:\n\n"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)\n\nThe soul is our thinking, emotional self-awareness; our mind.  The Spirit is as the body is to the physical realm; it is our spiritual extension and ***what receives messages from God.***  When we are "born again" it becomes alive -- and the good news is it's perfect!  See I Peter 1:23.  So it hears from God perfectly.\n\nThe soul has a problem called the carnal mind, which is "enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be."  Paul right here is saying the Bible is crucial in telling the difference, able to divide between the two.\n\nSo like you said, we're dodging voices and we want Truth.  The Bible is crucial in this.\n\nSecondly, in John chapters 14-16, he describes the Holy Ghost as the "teacher."  Understanding the scriptures properly is necessary; else we are flailing this "sword" around in the dark.  This is where prayer comes in.  Pray for God to open up His Bible to you through the Holy Spirit.  Do so in faith.  See Matthew 7:9.  \n\nGetting to know His voice is a process and often trial and error.  Over time you recognize it and lean on it.  Let this goal be your prayer, and God will honor it!

I agree. Our lord heavenly father, is the most merciful, loving caring GOD!! I believe he put us on this earth as a test. HE wants to know if we are really trusting him. I can't wait till I see HIM. My one wish in my life is to give Jesus a hug. I think that would be an awsome gift to GOD for me. I think my lord is always here to protect us. HE wants us to learn from our mistakes, and wrong turns. HE is just so forgiving,and always true that he promises a good life to us, when He has already given us enough. I would just dream of giving HIM a hug. I am only 12 years old and can't wait to give HIM a hug. I hope you don't mind getting this from a 12 year old, but I can't wait. I've got big dreams and GOD will guide me all the way!!! Aint it great!!!

I pray daily for GOD to humble me and give me a servant's heart...I want to be more like JESUS CHRIST in my daily walk...I desire the favor of GOD upon my life, and in order for that to be, the WORD says that which is abased will be lifted up and that which is lifted up will be abased...\n\nSo yes, GOD does humble me...because I ask for it.

The following text is what it's all about for a Chrisitan.\n\n1 John 4\n7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. \n\n13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. \n        God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. \n\n19We love because he first loved us. 20If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.\n\nI have personally seen God work in my life, I have allowed him to lead me since I graduated college, and have ended up where I never would have believed.  He has answered my prayers in the past, he has given me guidance, I have seen him work through friends and family.  He has even graciously given me dreams in which angels have appeared to reaffirm my faith.  I love God, for I know him and know his love for me.\n\nRomans 1:20\nFor since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Love is nothing but the channel to reach God... and I can prove it but it will take a bit of space... when we come in this world we are in love automatically with our mother, after that when we get a bit older then there are some other persons (particularly from opposite sex) who come in our love list and the relationship with them is more intense... after that we start loving our children and so on... this passion and emotion that people call love is implanted in to the human heart for one sole reason to identify his Lord... Who is the zenith of this feeling... Its basically God Who teaches us to love through all these stairs of "small loves" that we cross in our lives, and finally wants us to reach Him... because love demands perfection of lover and needless to say... perfection is the territory of God.\nLove truly is a weapon if it is in the right place... because its only the power of love that can oblige one's heart to follow his Beloved otherwise totalitarianism can bend heads but not hearts the complete dominance can only be reached through hearts and love is the weapon to do it... that's why God chose love as the path to reach Him... because He knew that its love and love alone which could be used as a weapon against evil and finally can make the bearer of it to prevail... \nso it really is the story of love as I see it...

The fact that he is in the church shows that the Lord is working on his heart. As the Lord continues to work on him, he will continue to draw nigh to God. One thing that I have learned about life is that you can't allow past experiences to hinder your future. The more you do this, the more you will look back and regret your life. Rather, let your past experiences simply guide you into making wise decisions which will benefit your future and enhance your life. Furthermore, this man at your church may very well be the man God has for you. Let the Holy Spirit guide you and you will make the right decision.

My friend, you are right.  There is no way we can look around and not see the magnificent work of God!\n\nHaving a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is like having the perfect relationship with the perfect father.\n\nGod is all powerful, magnificent, omnipotent.  He loves with a love we cannot understand in any way.  He is merciful and kind and good.  However, He is not to be toyed with.  He reminds me of that saying about true power being the authority to do something but not doing it.  God has the power to destroy everything He has created, He has the power to hold back the sun and the moon and the stars and the rain, but He doesnt because He loves us.  It always awes me when I think that there are so many (most) people who reject and mock Him and yet He sends the rain so they can eat, and the sun to warm us everyday and we just dont deserve it.\n\nHe is wonderful and very, very real.\n\nMay He open your eyes even more and set you completely free!

I can tell you that after 8 months of persistent prayer and seeking God's will he moved a mammoth of a mountain.  If you pray and seek His will in your life, aren't afraid to ask Him for the desires of your heart and ask with caution, clarity and selflessness... your prayers will be answered.\n\nI know this first hand.... we were having a conflict with an adoption agency, a private agency that had custody of two little girls we fell in love with. well, the adoption agency decided they wanted to place the girls with someonelse after we had built strong bonds. this agency refused to even talk to us, were adamant about the change and would not even submit to their state mandated policy of a fair hearing or right to grievance procedures. they even went against a judges recommendation and took the girls from us.\n\nwe prayed and prayed. we went biblically to the agency and the agency refused to listen to us.  eventually the agency said we had to say goodbye forever to our little girls. they told our little girls this as well. but God told me to not listen to the world.... keep your eyes and ears focused on me and I will lead you through this journey... and what a journey it was. It went to places I was uncomfortable... but God was there with me every step of the way... even when i had to go to the legislature and senators to get help! God led the way and eventually brought my little girls back whom we have formally adopted now! you can't imagine the resistance and journey it was to get where we are today... but GOD IS BIGGER! GOD IS FAITHFUL and loving! pray to him and he will guide you and help you with any problem of any size!

There are some interesting verses in the bible.  God says these things:  "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will harden the hearts of those also whom I choose".  God also likens Himself to a potter, and we are the clay.  He speaks of how He, as God...has the right to choose what to do with that clay.  I don't know why certain people are found of God and certain others are not.  But there is one thing I believe with all my heart:  that God is perfectly just, righteous and holy.  So I do not give up my faith in Him for those things I do not understand.

When it comes to prayer for Salvation for others - God can set up the situation that can result in Salvation even if it means taking them to a whole new low so they have no place else to go - BUT - ultimately such people must make that final decision themselves.\n\nWhile nothing is impossible for God..., he will not make that final decision for the person(s).  Either we accept him willfully or not.

Well on the one hand, it's not like God couldn't afford it....  "For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills." \nPsalms 50:10\n\n...But on the other hand, He doesn't answer prayer like some cosmic vending machine where you plug in the coin of prayer and out pops whatever blessing you ask for.\n\n1 John 5:14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing ***according to his will***, he heareth us:  (15)  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.\n\nhttp://web.express56.com/~bromar/

Is anyone Not hungry for that?\nBut is this desire "pure"? Is it for me(adventure, fulfillment,purpose)...or Him (redemption and reconciliation of the creature and children to their Father)? or them(the lost to find their way)?\nHow hungry? Enough to cry out day and night as the elect?\nWhat price will we pay? Houses lands, wives, parents, children, siblings...? Will we be separated unto the Gospel? Will we agonize with the Spirit's intercession?\nJesus said,"When the Son of man returneth...will He even find faith upon the earth"? (referring to consist ant and sincere prayer).
