Opened my computer tonight, saw an article about the Olympics, I opened it, I scrolled down to see Galatians 6:7 mentioned. First thing I said to myself, I have to go look that up!!!
I have never been an extremely religious person but I can feel something building inside me. People in my circle are getting more outspoken with regard to faith. Seems like it is growing in intensity.
I was at work a couple weeks back, several coworkers and I were talking discussing the fate of our nation. I didn't know these people to be religious in nature but I spoke out at one point and said our country resembles Sodom and Gomarah and they all immediately agreed.
I read a post from here earlier where someone said their faith in God has been born again from partaking in our GAW community.
I see liberals talking about the Trump assassination declaring his life was saved by God Almighty.
I find myself getting caught up in reading Biblical verse when doing research and it is hard to stop. My wife went to bed at 11pm last night, I told her I would be coming to bed soon. It was 5am when I closed my computer. Reading Revelations and contrasting our world today.
I hope what I see is a true Awakening, God's people banning together, uniting to fight the forces of evil. Q said it would be Biblical. I think that statement goes much deeper than I expected. I feel a revival of spirituality rising up.
I think the uncertainty, anxiety, worry has people seeking the word of God. A God-fearing nation is what we once were. I think we may be going back there.
God Bless you all.
WWG1WGA!!!
I too have been feeling a build-up of faith within myself over the past few years, after denying God for many years before. I have a long way to go, though, as I question whether my faith is truly legitimate (I really want it to be, and I no longer deny His existence), and I continue to use the Lord's name in vain (and apologize to God every time I do), don't pray as of yet, and sin in other ways I won't disclose. I believe I will get there in time, though.
You known He's with you, that's why you apologize :).
I don't pray beautifully like many people here can - and didn't because I thought I didn't know "how" to pray.
It's so simple and easy to just be grateful, and to notice and give a little Thank You God for the blessings your given every day.
You don't have to pray yet, just sit quietly for 5 or 10 minutes to breathe and fill your mind with goodness... our heavenly Lord will meet you where you are and show you the way. Peace be with you
No, you always GET to pray. Thank God†, apologize to God†, talk to God†, hang out with God†. We are all so blessed, we, need to show HOW grateful and thankful we are and ALSO - tell God† you love Him†. Yes, I know He† knows, but even though you know that your children love you - doesn't it warm your heart when they tell you?
God† bless.
I was responding to a post that said they weren't ready to pray yet...
No worries - gotcha'
Prayer is so easy. Just talk to God/Jesus in your mind, as if He is your constant companion, which He actually is.
The Lord's Prayer from Matthew chapter 6
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.[a] 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done,[b] on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread,[c] 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.[d]
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
One thing I know is talk to God like He is just sitting with you (He is) just tell Him everything. It doesnt have to be fancy with “these and thou’s” He already knows but He wants to hear you talk to Him and tell Him you need Him. I always had fear that Im not praying right but He has always reminded me I am His and He loves me. He wants a relationship with you. In my quiet times, in my car etc I just tell Him my heart. ❤️
