Finding God
We Need to Find God when we Need Him—R Fritz
It is up to us to spend the time to learn how to get our prayers answered. We must first believe that our prayers will be answered, or why are we praying? If we have a problem, we need to get around people to find out how other people have their prayers answered. We cannot do it ourselves; Satan wants to divide and conquer. Our pride keeps us in the same place doing what we have always done, where all we must do is ask the Holy Spirit. One of the things I did was hang around with people who had a relationship with the Holy Spirit and wanted to learn, so I did not want to miss anything, so I was the last person to go home. God’s people are not afraid to instruct people who are new to the Lord. We need to ask, listen, and spend our time collecting wisdom from people when the opportunity shows up. I have heard stories that people were giving up because they had no results, as the person who talked to them about Jesus did not teach or help them to get started. These people need to look for help. I went looking for God, and I found him because I was in a battle and needed answers; I was serious. If we are serious, we will find God; he will make sure we will not give up until we do. Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” This is the answer I was talking about where we searched for the LORD with all our hearts.
We must live a life pleasing to God. Living our life without God or not letting him be part of our life until Sunday when we go to church will not work as far as God is concerned because we are not seeking him, and you might say we do not need him, but that does not mean we cannot talk to him and build on our relationship. We do not know God because we do not understand that we can talk to him about anything. The Holy Spirit is an excellent listener. It is always about bringing the Holy Spirit into our life, so when an issue comes up, the Holy Spirit is heard to help us deal with it at the time it is happening instead of trying to fix it afterwards. I speak about this because I was asking the Holy Spirit what I should do, and when the answer came, I was thinking about what I should do. The Holy Spirit is answering people as we believe it is us who are answering ourselves. John 10:27 says, and this is Jesus speaking, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” We should know Jesus’s voice, but knowing his voice comes from having a relationship with the Holy Spirit and knowing his voice. I tell people to open the Bible and ask God to show who he is; I guarantee he will show us if we are serious. That would be seeking with all our heart.
God is a Spirit, and we must worship him in spirit. John 4:24 says, and this is Jesus speaking: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” We also have a spirit, and that is why our spirit should know the Holy Spirit. Even if the Holy Spirit does not live in us, the Holy Spirit comes upon people as in the Old Testament. With the Holy Spirit living in us, it is through our thoughts that we communicate. Understanding that concept will change our lives and the reason we say God does not speak to me or answer my prayers. I have seen the many ways God can communicate with us, yet we do not see it. I could understand seeing a bumper sticker or banner and wondering if what we read was for me; the next thing I would do is to ask God if that was from him. Let’s look at this a different way as that is what I do because God is spiritual, so we must learn to think differently than other people, and that is to believe the Holy Spirit knows what we need, and he will give it to us, and what I see is from him because we have become one spiritually and are looking after God’s plan for our life. Spending time with the Holy Spirit, or us being used to talking or helping somebody, has given me his understanding and the ability to think differently than most people. I do not know how many times I have thought about a situation and thought a way forward for somebody when I see God doing something completely different and, of course, many times better than what I thought. Isaiah 55:8 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
The LORD is not going to leave or forsake us if we believe that where we walk the LORD will be. Deuteronomy 31:8 says, “And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” All we must do is to speak to the LORD and let him know what needs to be done. There is nothing too big or impossible for the LORD. It comes down to us and our ability to communicate with faith. If we do not change, how do we expect our lives to change? It is up to us to become proactive. God Bless.
Our Purpose
In this world in which we are living, it is obvious that the Word of God needs to reach those that are lost and are searching for answers to events surrounding the news media that are bombarding us with what is in most cases, false news. There is no doubt in our minds that all the answers are found in the scriptures of the Holy Bible and it is our intent to search the scriptures thoroughly and find the answers to everyday questions that are people are pondering. There is no way that anybody can exhaust the whole Bible and know all the answers, but through divine inspiration from the Holy Spirit, that we will be lead according to His will. One thing that we hear out in the world is, “The Bible is too hard to understand.” The mistake that people most commonly make is, they think they can read and understand the Bible without guidance from the Holy Spirit and that is impossible. We will take scriptures out of the Bible and try our best to bring them to life. The Word of God is a living testimony of Jesus Christ and in order to know the living God (Jesus Christ) you have to understand the written Word.
It is or hope that we will lead people to the saving knowledge and wisdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It is our intent to encourage people to get into the Word of God and hear what our Lord has to say to you. We understand that no human being alive can save another human being from the destruction of sin. Only by grace can one be forgiven through faith and that in and of itself is a free gift generously given to us by our heavenly Father through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ! It is our intent to bring to life the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ! There are two particular verses in the Bible that we keep in the front our memory bank. Acts 17:11; “These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.” We expect you to be a Berean and search the scriptures daily to make sure that we are guiding you in all truth according to God’s Word. Secondly, Romans 8:28; “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Once you become born-again and know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, then you can be assured that everything that happens in your life will be Father filtered.
