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
