WHY NOT HOP OR SKIP OR JUMP FOR JOY WITH GOD

JUST BECAUSE CHURCH IS LIKE A PROCESSIONAL WITH CEREMONIES DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE LIKE A CHURCH AND MAKE EVERY DAY BORING - GOD IS FUN TOO

DOES GOD LOVE YOU OR NOT?

PEOPLE WHO HAVE JESUS IN THEIR HEARTS (FOR DETAILS SEE http://www.revival.com/) AND ARE PAYING THEIR TEN PERCENT OF INCOME TITHE TO GOD AND LOVE GOD BUT ARE STRUGGLING IN THEIR OWN LIVES MAY WONDER - DOES GOD STILL LOVE ME? WHY IS IT THAT WE QUESTION GOD WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL - BUT FORGET GOD WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL? GOD DOES NOT CHANGE - HE LOVES YOU ALWAYS.

GOD IS A GOOD GOD

HE IS LOVE AND HE LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY
HE PROMISES TO PROVIDE FOR THE FAITHFUL

WALK - DON'T RUN WITH GOD

WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT GOD'S PERFECT TIMING IN THE BIBLE - THAT MEANS THAT GOD IS THE ONE WHO DETERMINES WHEN TO DO THINGS - NOT YOU

HOW CAN YOU WALK BESIDE A SPIRIT

IT IS HARD TO PICTURE THIS BUT IMAGINE THAT A LEAF FELL ON A BEACH AND NO ONE SAW IT FALL - DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE LEAF NEVER FELL JUST BECAUSE NO ONE SAW IT FALL? THOSE RAKING AUTUMN LEAVES WILL GET IT

WALK WITH GOD, NOT AHEAD OF HIM

THIS IS A BIGGIE - THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT GOD'S PERFECT TIMING - AND THAT MEANS GOD'S PERFECT TIMING AND NOT YOURS. AND HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THAT IS - WELL, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TALK TO GOD, AREN'T YOU - OR DID YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE DIVINE AND CAN JUST INHALE GOD'S WILL THROUGH YOUR PORES EVERY DAY?

YOUR NATURAL WALK WITH GOD

YOUR SPIRITUAL WALK WITH GOD DOES NOT MEAN YOU DO NOT INVOLVE YOUR BODY AT ALL
GOD PUT OUT A CALL FOR KINGDOM PARTICIPANTS IN THE BIBLE - HE WAS LOOKING FOR LABORERS BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO
THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE SITTING IN CHURCH FOR AN HOUR ONCE A WEEK AND PRAYING A WISH LIST WHEN YOU HAVE A NEED
AND YET PEOPLE PERSIST IN THINKING THAT MEDITATION IS THE SAME AS WALKING - IS IT?

IS GOD YOUR FRIEND

THE BIBLE SAYS BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL THAT YOU PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD NEVER CHANGES - SO IF YOU ASK FOR CONFLICTING THINGS FROM GOD DON'T EXPECT HIM TO CHANGE EACH TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND

DOES IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS

HOW DO YOU LOOK AT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
DO YOU GIVE HIM A ROLE IN YOUR LIFE OTHER THAN ANSWERING YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS?
ARE YOU FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED BEHAVIORS IN THE BIBLE SUCH AS PAYING YOUR TITHE?
HAVE YOU RECEIVED JESUS IN YOUR HEART? FOR DETAILS SEE SOUL WINNING TOOLS AT http://www.revival.com 

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO DO

GOD DOES NOT OPERATE CONTRARY TO THE BIBLE
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR BIBLE - HOW CAN YOU INTERSECT PATHS AND RELATE TO GOD?

I AM NOT AT ALL SPIRITUAL - HOW CAN I WALK WITH GOD

MAYBE YOU NEED TO BECOME SPIRITUAL BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN HEAR FROM GOD
CHECK YOUR BIBLE FOR SUGGESTIONS

IF GOD WALKS AHEAD CAN YOU SEE HIM

WELL, SOME PEOPLE HEAR HIM
SOME PEOPLE GET DREAMS OR VISIONS OR REVELATIONS ESPECIALLY READING THE BIBLE
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT NO ONE SEES GOD - HOWEVER, IF THE UNIVERSE IS MADE FROM GOD'S BREATH - DOES THAT NOT MEAN HE IS ALL AROUND?
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD SITS ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE EARTH - WELL, THAT COULD BE EVERYTHING THERE

LET US PRAY TOGETHER, AND PRAY, AND PRAY

ARE YOU JUST PRAYING ALL THE TIME?
GOD HEARS YOU THE FIRST TIME
BIBLE QUOTE: THE STEPS OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN ARE ORDERED OF THE LORD
DID THE BIBLE SAY TO PRAY THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND DO NOTHING MORE?

IF GOD IS SUPREMELY INTELLIGENT - SHOULDN'T I RUN?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO DO WHEN THEY FIRST GO TO SCHOOL?
YOUR PARENTS WERE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN YOU WERE FOR A LONG TIME - DID YOU RUN AWAY FROM THEM EVERY DAY AND NOT TALK TO THEM AT ALL?
THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE DO TO GOD - DOES HE DESERVE THAT AFTER MAKING US THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD TO STEWARD AND CHERISH?
START SMALL, START ANYWHERE - SAY HELLO JESUS  OR HELLO GOD OR HELLO HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU HAVE SOME QUIET, PRIVATE TIME

CAN A SPIRIT HAVE FOOTPRINTS?

SO WHY ARE YOU ASKING - IF NO ONE SEES THEM, DOES IT MATTER?

CAN YOU WALK WITH A SPIRIT IF YOU ARE NOT A SPIRIT?

THIS IS LIKE ASKING - CAN YOU WALK WITH A MAN IF YOU ARE NOT A MAN BUT A DOGGIE
THE DOGGIE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN EVERYTHING LIKE DRIVING A CORVETTE, TALKING ON THE CELLPHONE, AND DANCING AT A BAR - BUT THEY CAN HAVE A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP OF LEARNING, SHARING, LOVE AND UNDERSTAND DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENCES
TRY IT - YOU WILL LIKE IT!

ARE YOU AN OVERCOMER OR DOES GOD CARRY YOU EVERY DAY

WHO GIVES THE MOMENTUM IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
DO YOU LOOK FORWARD WITH YOUR TIME TO GOD WITH ANTICIPATION TO TELL HIM ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE? OR
DO YOU NEED YOUR TIME WITH GOD TO GET THE STRENGTH TO HANDLE YET ANOTHER DAY?
ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR SITUATION BY VOLUNTEERING USEFUL SOLUTIONS OR DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR INSPIRATION FOR EVERY DETAIL FROM GOD?
IS YOUR PRAYER TIME FULL OF WISH LISTS, PROBLEMS, COMPLAINTS AND MOUNTAINS OF BARRIERS? OR IS YOURS A HAPPY TIME OF CELEBRATION WITH GOD?
DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN OVERCOME ALL OBSTACLES WITH GOD, OR ARE YOU STUCK AND NEED TO WAIT FOR HELP WITH EVERYTHING YOU DO?

IS GOD WAITING ON YOU

SO MANY TIMES WE HEAR PEOPLE SAY - I AM WAITING ON GOD, OR I WILL PRAY ABOUT IT AND WE DON'T HEAR FROM THEM FOR A WEEK OR MORE - AS IF WE NEED TO DO A SEARCH AND RESCUE MISSION TO CONNECT WITH GOD
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD SITS ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE EARTH - THAT SOUNDS LIKE HE IS RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU - WAITING ON YOU, DOES IT NOT?

DO YOU WALK OR SKIP WITH GOD?

DO YOU SAVE YOUR SADDEST PRAYERS FOR GOD AND NEVER TALK TO HIM AT OTHER TIMES? YOU COULD BE MISSING THE BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE!
HAVE YOU TRIED:
TALKING TO GOD IN NATURE
EXCERCISING WHILE REVIEWING YOUR BLESSINGS
HAVING A DISCUSSION WHILE IN CHURCH

DO YOU WALK WITH GOD OR RUN FROM HIM?

DO YOU BARELY FIND FIVE MINUTES IN 24 HOURS TO THINK OF GOD?
DO YOU FEEL GUILTY ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING BUT ARE AFRAID TO TALK TO GOD ABOUT IT?

IS GOD HAPPY WITH ME?

DO I THINK OF HIM OFTEN?
DO I CONSULT HIM IN EVERYTHING I DO?
DO I LISTEN TO HIS ANSWERS?
DO I WORSHIP HIM?
DO I ENJOY A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM?

WHY DO I NEED GOD

JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA -YOU CANNOT REACH THE FATHER WITHOUT HIM, SO A PRAYER TO INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR HEART GIVES YOU ENTRY TO HEAVEN AND ETERNAL LIFE
GOD'S WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OURS, AND GOD MADE US IN HIS IMAGE, SO IF YOU WANT TO LEARN TO WALK HIGHER THAN HUMANKIND, HOLY SPIRIT, SENT BY JESUS, WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY

IS GOD REAL?

WELL, THAT IS LIKE ASKING ARE YOU REAL?
CAN YOU PROVE THAT YOU ARE REAL?
I HAVE MET MANY PEOPLE WHERE I WOULD SAY NO, NOT REAL, THEY ARE PHONY

IF GOD IS NOT REAL TO YOU, YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE WALKING WITH HIM - RIGHT?
SO HOW DO I DO THAT?
HERE ARE SOME IDEAS...
TAKE SOME TIME TO THOUGHTFULLY -
READ THE BIBLE
REFLECT ON THE BIBLE
REFLECT ON YOUR LIFE AS COMPARED TO THE BIBLE
ATTEND A CHURCH THAT INSPIRES AND PROVOKES YOUR THINKING AND ACTION
IF CHURCH IS DEAD TO YOU, THEN THERE IS THE PROBLEM - IT IS NOT GOD'S FAULT
FIND A NEW CHURCH! ONE THAT IS ALIVE, AND SEE HOW FAST GOD IS REAL TO YOU!

WHAT IF GOD LEAVES ME? I AM SO SLOW

RICHARD ROBERTS TEACHES YOU TO GO BACK TO THE LAST PLACE WHERE GOD WAS WITH YOU AND PICK IT UP FROM THERE
WHEN YOU SAY A SIMPLE PRAYER AND ASK JESUS INTO YOUR HEART, HE IS THERE FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFETIME UNTIL YOU REACH HEAVEN, WHEN HE WILL REDEEM THE PURCHASED POSSESSION
IF YOU CANNOT HEAR HIM, YOU MAY NOT BE LISTENING
THE BIBLE SAYS TO BRING EVERY THOUGHT UNDER YOUR CONTROL - EMPTY YOUR MIND OF ALL THE STATIC AND CONSTANT SELF TALK
ASK FOR HELP TO HEAR GOD
THEN LISTEN TO HIM

WHAT CAN HELP ME WALK WITH GOD?

1. READING THE BIBLE
2. LISTENING TO GOSPEL MUSIC
3. ATTENDING A TRUE TO THE BIBLE CHURCH
4. AS MARILYN HICKEY WOULD SAY - EVERYONE NEEDS FOUR CRAZY FAITH FRIENDS!

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT SIGNS AND WONDERS SHALL FOLLOW GOD

DOES THAT MEAN THAT EVERYONE I TOUCH WILL BECOME HEALED FOR EXAMPLE?
NOT NECESSARILY, BUT HEALING MAY BE ONE OF THE GIFTS OF GOD YOU WILL RECEIVE. READ ABOUT GIFTS OF GOD AND SIGNS AND WONDERS IN YOUR BIBLE CONCORDANCE OR FREE ONLINE BIBLE FOR MORE DETAILS. IN OTHER WORDS, THE OPPOSITE IS ALSO TRUE, IF NO SIGNS AND WONDERS FOLLOW IN YOUR CHURCH, THERE IS NO GOD THERE, SO KEEP LOOKING UNTIL YOU GET A CHURCH THAT HAS GOD PRESENT TO RECEIVE THE REAL DEAL FOR GUIDANCE.

WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT AT ALL SPIRITUAL?

HOW DO YOU MAKE A SPIRITUAL LIFE JOURNEY WITH GOD ALL OF A SUDDEN IF ALL YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOUR MATERIAL THINGS - YOUR HOUSE, YOUR MORTGAGE, YOUR POSSESSIONS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS, YOUR JOB, YOUR PETS, YOUR HOBBIES, YOUR LOOKS, AND SO ON...

THE STEPS OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN ARE ORDERED OF THE LORD SAYS THE BIBLE.
TURN YOUR EYES TO GOD AND THE BIBLE AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY.

GOD IS THE CREATOR - HOW DO YOU WALK WITH A CREATOR?

WELL, HOW DO YOU WALK WITH ANYONE ELSE?
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
GOD IS NO DIFFERENT.
IN THE BIBLE IT QUOTES THAT THE STEPS OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN ARE ORDERED OF THE LORD
PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER WHEREVER GOD SHOWS YOU AND FOLLOW
THAT IMPLIES OF COURSE, CONSTANT MOVEMENT, SLOW AND DELIBERATE MOVEMENT, METHODICAL MOVEMENT ACCORDING TO GOD'S PERFECT PLAN WHICH WILL BE REVEALED TO YOU AS YOU GO ALONG
ENJOY THE JOURNEY - IT WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING YOU HAVE DONE BEFORE!

HOW CAN YOU WALK WITH A SPIRIT?

WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS SENT US HOLY SPIRIT, THE COMFORTER SO IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT HOLY SPIRIT WOULD HAVE SOME IDEAS AS TO HOW TO WALK WITH HIM - WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM AND RESEARCH HIM IN THE BIBLE?

WHO DECIDES WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO?

IS IT MY MOTHER? OR FATHER? OR RELATIVES? OR FRIENDS?
IS IT MY TEACHERS? OR NEIGHBORS? OR PEOPLE ON THE BUS?
IS IT MY GIRLFRIEND? OR EMPLOYER? OR BANKER? OR LADY NEXT TO ME IN CHURCH?
WELL, NO... IT IS BETWEEN GOD, AND YOU, AND THE BIBLE WITH MAYBE HELP FROM A BELIEVING SCRIPTURAL PASTOR IF YOU HAVE ONE.

SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT AND ALL ELSE WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOU

SO, WE NEED NOT CONCERN OURSELVES WITH WHAT EVERYONE IS WEARING TO CHURCH, OR WHO IS ON WHAT COMMITTEE, OR WHO IS TALKING TO WHOM...
GOD IS THE WAY, JUST FOLLOW HIM.

SPIRITUAL WALK IMPLIES THAT YOU MOVE AND DON'T SIT

YET WHY DO ALMOST ALL PEOPLE YOU KNOW WHO WANT TO LEARN ABOUT GOD JUST SIT IN A CHURCH EVERY WEEK, THEN WALK OUT THE DOOR AND FORGET HIM?

IF GOD IS A SPIRIT, HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND HIM?

GOD LEFT US AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL - A BOOK CALLED THE BIBLE FULL OF EXAMPLES CALLED PARABLES, AND ALSO THE WORDS OF JESUS, HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, IN WHOM HE WAS SO WELL PLEASED THAT HE GAVE THE KEYS TO THIS WORLD

THE STEPS OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN ARE ORDERED OF THE LORD

DOESN'T THAT BIBLE QUOTE SOUND LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW GOD?

IF WE ARE TO FOLLOW GOD, THEN SHOULDN'T WE GET TO KNOW GOD?

WHERE IS GOD? IN THE BIBLE - IN US - AND IN THE WORLD WHERE HE DWELLS ON THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE EARTH
