Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2005 9:50 pm Post subject: A Simple Way To Contact Jesus
Hello,
I am interested in this thread to relate from my experience and from Scripture a few practical ways I have learn to touch the living Jesus.
My whole Christian life depends on touching Jesus deep within my being. For me to live in the realm of Christ I have to contact Christ on a moment by moment basis.
One of the simple ways to touch the Lord is to call upon His name. At some times I do not even know what I should pray. But by calling "O Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus" sincerely, I get all that I really need from His presence.
I want to first talk about calling on the name of the Lord Jesus. He responds when we call "O Lord Jesus. O Lord Jesus". There is a famous hymn which says "Just to breath the name of Jesus is to drink of life indeed".
Calling on the name of the Lord is like drinking the living water. Calling is a simple way for me to draw near into His presence.
Have any of you discovered the benefit of calling "Lord Jesus, Lord, O Lord Jesus I love you"? He is rich to all that call upon Him.
I have to write in larger letters so as to not strain my eyes too much. Please write in large style font if you post here. _________________ "I want nothing for myself. I want everything for the Lord." - Watchman Nee

Many Christians first got saved by calling on the name of Jesus. Sometimes a person may think about God for a long time. But the moment comes when they utter the name Jesus for the first time the God that they have thought much about becomes real to them.
This is my case. How I would philosophies about God and argue. Then the moment I finally decided to talk to God, somehow the name Jesus came to my lips. And the gates of heaven opened wide over my head, so to speak. The name of Jesus brought the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit into my being.
I found out that as I began with Christ I can also continue with Christ. That is by calling on His name "O Lord Jesus. O Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus. Amen Lord", I can stir up the Spirit of Christ within me.
As I started out I can continue. In fact the New Testament tells me:
"As therefore you have received Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in Him (Col. 2:6)
As we initially received Him in simplicity we should continue to walk in Him in simplicity. To take step by steo in the Lord I must contact Him moment by moment. Speaking with Him. Praising Him. Calling on His dear name. All these are simple ways to walk in Him as our sphere and realm of life.
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord (See Psalm 116).
We should let the Lord hear our voice. The Psalmist writes:
"I love Jehovah because He hears my voice, because He inclines His ear to me" (Psalm 116:1).
See how practical God is? He hears our voice. Of course He knows our thoughts too. But here that writer says that he loves God because He hears and responds to his voice.
"What shall I return to Jehovah For all His benefits toward me? I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of Jehovah" (v. 12,13)
Salvation here is said to be in a cup. That is salvation, daily practical salvation, is like a beveridge to drink. We can drink in the salvation by calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus. We call and we are drinking salvation.
If you call on the Lord's name for a few minutes your spirit will begin to be burning. I am not saying that this is all there is to the Christian life. But I am focusing on this at this time.
We need a simple way to contact the Lord Jesus. We need to drink the Spirit of Christ by calling "Lord Jesus. O Lord Jesus. I drink you in Lord. Lord Jesus I open my beng wide and drink you in. O Lord Jesus. O Lord Amen. Lord Jesus."
I focus here on something everyone can do. Calling also brings God's people into oneness. A simple oneness in the reality of Jesus is arrived at when brothers together call on the name of the Lord.
Paul told Timothy to be with those who call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart. By calling Timothy can flee youthful lusts and be a vessel useful to God:
"But flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart" (2 Tim. 2:22)
In the moment of temptation try calling from deep within "O Lord Jesus. O Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus. Jesus Lord. Amen Lord Jesus".
Calling on the name of the Lord will even cause your heart to become pure. For Jesus is a living Person. Our calling in not vain. It is a calling with the purpose to touch Him. _________________ "I want nothing for myself. I want everything for the Lord." - Watchman Nee

JAYWILL;
I am so moved by your FAITH & i like you to know that calling the name of OUR LORD JESUS IS SO POWERFUL INDEED!!
I HAVE EXPERIENCED HIM FIRST HAND AS I WAS IN SPIRITUAL OPPRESSION 2 YEARS AGO.I will later narrate this experience later.
During that time at the height of that attack by the evil one..i heard our LORD JESUS VISIBLE VOICE as well as in THE SPIRIT that HE WILL HELP ME!IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!HE IS TRULY ALIVE!! JESUS IS REAL!!HE IS THERE TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN DIRE NEED LIKE ME.Of course also those who call on HIS NAME..THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES..OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!
I HAVE KNOWN HIM PERSONALLY AS NEVER BEFORE..HE'S SO VERY LOVING..IF I CAN SUMMARIZE HIM AT ALL..IT IS PURE LOVE!! _________________ Wedded to Jesus in Love

I appreciate your response.
Whether in deep distress or simply longing to fellowship with God, calling on the name of the Lord is wonderfully effective.
I find it gould as a way to begin to read the Bible. I find it good in the moment of temptation. I find calling to be effective just when I feel empty or bored or thristy within.
Somewhat like your experience I recall having very bad nightmares which may have been inspired by demonic forces. In the middle of those nightmares where everything got so real and ugly, I remembered calling "Jesus, Jesus, Oh Lord Jesus" right in the dream. The result was that the evil was vanguished and I came up out of the nightmare.
The name of Jesus has done this everytime. Behind the name of the Lord is the living Lord Himself. So calling on Him is not mouthing a mantra of some sort. Rather it is calling with the intention to touch the Lord Jesus within.
It makes all the difference for us to touch the Lord within, doesn't it? _________________ "I want nothing for myself. I want everything for the Lord." - Watchman Nee

Hi Jaywill;
I mentioned that i will summarize my Testimony for the past 2 years.I have been looking all over the net for the same experience & i took hold of a certain Pastor who have heard from GOD(OUR LORD JESUS)visible voice.I wrote to him about my experience too.This is just a summary of what happenned to me & my family.
DEAR PASTOR JACOBY;
I feel better now that it is not only me who hears GOD's voice(OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST).For the past 2 years I have been through an INCREDIBLE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY! This SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE HAD MADE ME CLOSER TO THE LORD & TRANSFORMED MY LIFE TO FULL REPENTANCE.I do not know the LORD JESUS PERSONALLY THEN..BUT NOW I KNOW THE REAL CHRIST..HIS HEART IS FULL OF INTENSE LOVE FOR US.."I AM SHOUTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD ...HE IS ALIVE...HE IS ALIVE INDEED!!
It all started when my mother got cancer & the doctor told her that her life is at an end.During that time I supplicated for her & barrage GOD of my request.I spent my time in the internet either chatting with others with the same problem & i happen to browse through a messageboard with mostly young people of my same race.They have a religion section there & I'm amused to see how young people deal with their faith.Not only there are young people they also have older folks like me mingling around.I also noticed that there are demonic spirits that propagates LIES & DECEPTIONS to these unsuspecting youngsters.I told them not to beleive anything that looked good but in reality are COUNTERFEITS OF THE FAITH.I suggested they read "BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND" by Joyce Meyer.That "CLUE" alone is the start of series of 'VERBAL,SPIRITUAL & EMOTIONAL ATTACKs that ensued for me & MY family& I clearly identified it as "SPIRITUAL OPPRESSIONS"
It was a long story & I will digest it in summary.I was attacked through "WITCHCRAFT"& this demonic spirits have started to attack my children first & poisoned their minds againt me their own mother.STRIFE & DIVISIONS ensued.My 14 year old son suddenly(as in OVERNIGHT)change of attitude which is NOT OF HIM AT ALL! A RED FLAG that I know in my Spirit needs DELIVERANCE.My husband thought i was going
bonkers..but I PERSISTED TO PRAY & SUPPLICATE for my family for 6-7 months.It was like being in a FIERY TRIAL where you feel like being squeezed at all angles.It was a trying time but THE LORD THROUGH HIS GRACE MADE IT PLIABLE.I could have been exhausted but I have RENEWED VIGOR AS I FIGHT WITH GOD AT MY SIDE!!
It was so exasperating because my son at that time is ALL OUT AGAINST ME.He listened to this demonic spirits LIES & DECEPTIONS AGAINST ME.My son & I have loving close relationship before but ALL OF A SUDDEN he changed!The Police is always at our house to stop my son from harrassing me with anything in his hands.THAT IS NOT MY SON AT ALL!!MOTHERS KNOW THEM BY HEART & THIS WAS NOT MY SON!The police took him after 4 altercations in our house for EVALUATION in a youth psyche ward.It lasted 6 days.I continued SUPPLICATING & PRAYING morning,noon,night.One early morning I heard VISIBLY GOD'S VOICE telling me "I'LL STRENGTHENED YOU INSIDE"I woke up because of that..& i know & I know in my heart of hearts that was OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!MY SPIRIT TELLS ME SO!Not only that I heard HIM AUDIBLY & IN MY SPIRIT several times telling me what to do.
When my son returned from 5 days at the hospital he told me that GOD talked to him in the spirit several times during hospitalization asking him "What happenned...& that HE will help our family! Can you imagine? My son won't even talk to me that time but here JESUS OUR LORD IS REASSURING ME HE IS THERE FOR US!!I cried because i know we will be safe in HIS arms.Now, the best part of this is that on June 15,2004 I was wakened up in my sleep early in the morning by an AUBIBLE VOICE(MAN'S VOICE)IT WAS SO CLEAR AS IF THE PERSON IS REALLY WITH ME..This first male voice told me"THANK THE LORD GOD ALMIGTHY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST"then,proceeded another male voice singing to to me..a song which I do not recognize but sounds like a very ancient love song.After HE was done singing..the first male voice announced"THANK THE LORD GOD ALMIGTHY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!THEN, THE LORD SPOKE AGAIN TELLING ME THAT HE IS IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION..MY PRAYERS ARE HEARD & ANSWERED.After that I felt as though the muscles of my heart are stretched out...& there is no pain( I would likened that experience when I gave birth by caesarean & they gave me epidural..I felt all the stetching but there is no pain.)I FELT SO OVERWHELMED BY INTENSE LOVE & I TOLD HIM "I LOVE YOU LORD"I was not aware that time that HE HAD BAPTIZED ME WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT WHICH HE DIVULGED AS I STUDY MY BIBLE ONE NIGHT.HE let me know that from now on HE is there for us.How do I know this?Because everytime I sin in thought & actions HE tells me so in visible voice& in my spirit! "MY LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME!!"
MY husband thought at that time I was full blown nuts(he is a scientist so he can never accept anything supernatural yet)I did not get his cooperation that time.Today his attitude had changed.THE LORD JESUS ASSURED ME that HE IS WORKING ON HIM & MY CHILDREN.I have so many more wonderful experiences to tell but this is getting so long.
I AM A VERY HAPPY PERSON NOW..CAUSE I HAVE KNOWN THE LORD PERSONALLY & INTIMATELY..HE IS A VERY GOOD GOD WITH A VERY LOVING HEART!! _________________ Wedded to Jesus in Love

Daisy,
Some of the things in your exciting testimony cause me to hope that you will be cautious.
If you become dependent on audibly hearing a voice or a number of voices I would be suspicious. I mean if you begin to lean heavily on a kind of Old Testament miraculous manifestation of Christ, such as hearing an audible voice in your physical ear, I would be very suspicious.
Maybe I am misunderstanding you. Forgive me if I am. But when you spoke of the two voices of males, one speaking and another singing, that did not sound good with me at all.
I would only say be careful that these extraordinary experiences do not become an addiction to you that you insist on having all the time. Be careful of seeking out others who claim that audible manifestations of Christ speaking and singing are the normal everyday routines they have with God.
Concerning what sounded like a filling of the Holy Spirit, I have no particular sense. And I am glad that you felt God answered your prayers.
My exposure to super dramatic experiences is limited. I don't want to sound skeptical because what I experience of Jesus is only a drop out of a large ocean. So I listen to your testimony with interest.
But for me and most of the healthy Christians I fellowship with, the healthy spiritual life is mostly accumulating good habits in a daily way. That would include beginning the day with Jesus for a short time, being quick to confess any sins once you become aware of them, reading prayerfully the word of God daily, praying, and trusting the Lord in a moment by moment way.
Most of my life is rather mundane in going to and from work. Meeting with the brothers to enjoy singing, praying, and study of the word in a Life way, are the day by day, year by year ways I have grown.
There have been times when something more dramtic occured. But these manifestations are not something that I have become accustomed to accept as the norm. Certainly, I don't expect God's voice to be heard audibly before I have the assurance that He has spoken. Mostly for me He speaks to me through the passages of the Bible which convict or enlighten me about my relationship with Him or with other people.
He also speaks to me in the fellowship between members of His Body as we open trustfully and honestly with each other in the Lord's presence.
So that is my response at this time. Please be careful concerning your son.
Thanks for sharing your testimony about this with me. _________________ "I want nothing for myself. I want everything for the Lord." - Watchman Nee

JAYWILL;
YOU KNOW IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN THINGS IN THIS EARLY STAGE BECAUSE WHAT YOU SEE(PERSPECTIVE) AT THIS POINT IS STILL LIMITTED.HOWEVER,AS YOU SEE THE WHOLE LONG ,WIDE PICTURE(WIDER PERSPECTIVE) YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER VISION & UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENNING.NO ONE REALLY BELEIVES ME(UNBELIEF STATE)EVEN MY HUSBAND WHO IS A NUCLEAR PHYSICIST(BECAUSE HE APPROACH THINGS SCIENTIFICALLY & REASONINGS THAT VALIDATE THE FACTS).BUT" FAITH "AS THE BIBLE STATES IS SIMPLY BELEIVING SOMETHING THAT YOU DO NOT SEE,FEEL WITH OUR 5 PHYSICAL SENSES.I USED TO JOKE MY HUSBAND THIS"I HOPE THE GOOD LORD SPEAK TO YOU VERBALLY ONE OF THESE DAYS & WHEN YOU TELL ME OF THAT I'LL TELL YOU"YOU ARE GOING BONKERS"THEN YOU NEED TO TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL.I AM SANE AS SANE CAN BE..UNLESS YOU EXPERIENCE WHAT I EXPERIENCE YOU CAN NEVER INVALIDATE THAT EXPERIENCE & CAN NEVER BE IN MY SHOES.
I WAS IN DIRE NEED THAT TIME & ONLY "GOD,OUR LORD JESUS CAN HELP & EXPLAIN TO ME" WHAT IS THE MATTER"?BECAUSE "HE SEES AND KNOWS EVERYTHING.I NEVER "LET GO OF HIM & BOMBARD HIM WITH MY OUTMOST PRAYER OF HELP CAUSE "NO ONE..NO ONE CAN REALLY HELP ME EXCEPT HIM".I'M IN A PREDICAMENT THAT IS OUT OF EXPLANATION..SO I PUT MY "TRUST IN NO MAN "BUT MY CREATOR ALONE WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING!
PUT YOURSELVES IN MY POSITION FOR A WHILE..TELL ME IN TOTAL HONESTY WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THIS SITUATION? _________________ Wedded to Jesus in Love

Daisy,
I didn't say that I didn't believe your experience.
I believe you. I just said some of the things about audible voices coming not once but a couple of times gave me some questions.
But I do believe that you did experience something.
You were difnintely in dire need. I have no words of further judgment about the matter.
Sometimes we can have a mixed kind of experience. That means something is there of the Lord but the sublte one comes in to mix us up.
Anyway, is there anything particular that God is touching you with these days that I might also get some help from? _________________ "I want nothing for myself. I want everything for the Lord." - Watchman Nee

THE ONLY THING THAT I LEARNED FOREMOST: IS THAT IN A SITUATION I HAVE BEEN WHERE "THINGS/SITUATIONS DEFIED LOGIC DO NOT RUN ..DO NOT RUN TO OTHER PEOPLE FOR YOUR EXPLANATION,HELP & EDIFICATION..FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES LET ALONE YOURS.RUN TO THE MASTER..FOR HE ALONE KNOWS HOW TO HELP!!DURING THAT TIME I FELT ISOLATED & ALONE..THE ONLY PEOPLE I RUN FOR HELP IS NO HELP AT ALL..& THOUGHT I'M OUT OF MY WITS ..HOWEVER,GOD USES THAT EXPERIENCE TO TEACH ME NOT TO RUN TO ANOTHER CARNAL BEING ONLY TO HIM.
THIS IS WHAT OUR LORD JESUS SAID:
..."WHEN MAN ATTEMPT TO CREATE ALLIANCES OF "ASSURANCE"IN THE FLESH(RUNNING FOR SUPPORT & HELP TO OTHER HUMANS..FLESH & BLOOD IN TIMES OF CRISES..INSTEAD OF GOD)THEY BYPASS THE PROVISION I HAVE MADE IN UNITY WHICH IS:"EACH OF MY CHILDREN CONTROLLED & GOVERNED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH OBEDIENCE TO THE HEAD.THIS RELIANCE UPON ANOTHER IS NOT GOOD,FOR IT PROCEEDED FROM THE HEART OF ONE RULED BY A "SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS.WHEN SUCH AN ALLIANCE IS MADE A FALSE SECURITY IS ESTABLISHED,INSTEAD OF AN ALLIANCE MADE WITH ME(GOD)THE COVENANT TO BE OBEDIENT TO ME IN ALL THINGS..SERVING ME(JESUS) ALONE & DESIRING TO RECEIVE CORRECTION & INSTRUCTIONS FROM ME..THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.DIRECTION OF ANY AGREEMENT WITH "FLESH & BLOOD"CARNAL HUMANS AS IT'S BASE SHALL RESULT IN ONE'S STRIVE UNDERSTANDING BEING EXERTED IN AN ATTEMPT TO APPEAR "RIGHTEOUS BEFORE MEN"& CAUSED WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK....RATHER THAN....THE REVERENCE OF ME THIER GOD & WHOSE STANDARDS TEND TO REDUCE TO THOSE OF "SOCIAL ETIQUETTE",RATHER THAN..SPEAKING MY TRUTH,WITH EACH ONE DOING WHAT THEY DEEM RIGHT..RATHER THAN ...TRULY SEEKING MY FACE".
THE BOND OF LOVE BEGINS WITH A HEART TURNS TOWARDS ONLY TO ME FOR APPROVAL,DIRECTION & PROPER FELLOWSHIP SHALL BE PROVIDED.IT IS NOT FEAR OF CORRECTION FOR MEN THAT WILL PROFEL TO HOLINESS,BUT RATHER A DEEPER REVELATION OF WHO TRULY I AM & WHAT I TRULY EXPECT(DIVINE REQUIREMENT).ONE MUST VIEW ALL ATTEMPTS TO UNITE IN THE FLESH..AS AN ATTEMPT TO USURP POWER BY DISPLACING THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE LORD TO REPROVE,CORRECT MY CHILDREN IN ALL THINGS,AT ALL TIMES." _________________ Wedded to Jesus in Love

I HAVE "NOWHERE" TO RUN TO BECAUSE "NO ONE" SEEMS TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWERS.I ONLY RUN TO GOD FOR HE KNOWS THE"WHOLE PICTURE".AS I CONTINUED MY SIMPLE FAITH OF TRUSTING JESUS ALONE..I KEPT KNOCKING AT HEAVEN'S GATE FOR SIX TO SEVEN MONTHS. I AM SO AMAZED BECAUSE THOSE PRESSING PROBLEMS COULD HAVE DEFEATED ME EMOTIONALLY & PHYSICALLY,BUT GOD'S GRACE HAVE KEPT ME AFLOAT & MY ENERGY LEVELS ARE MORE THAN NORMAL DESPITE OUR SITUATIONS AT HOME.
WE KNOW THAT ...WHEN WE CALL UPON JESUS IN TIMES OF PRESSING CIRCUMSTANCES,CONFUSION,UNCERTAINTY WE DRAW UPON THE FULL & LIMITLESS RESOURCES OF HEAVEN. WHEN WE CRIED OUT TO THE LORD JESUS IN URGENT ,PRESSING NEEDS AS IN "SOS"WE KNOW THAT HE WILL COME TO US BEARING ALL THE POWER OF THE MIGHTY GOD.THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON..IT CANNOT BE FOUND IN SPECULATION ,THEORIZING,REASONINGS..IT CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN EXPERIENCING GOD!!I CAN LIKENED IT TO "HEAVEN CAME DOWN ON EARTH TO HELP ME".. YES,YES,THAT IS EXACTLY THE RIGHT TERM.I NEVER EXPECTED FOR HIM TO ANSWER THIS WAY!!OH HOW WONDERFUL HE IS!!I FEEL LIKE DANCING,SINGING FOR THE JOY HE BRINGS INTO MY LIFE IN EXCHANGE FOR ALL MY SORROWS.
"EXPERIENCING THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IN AN INTIMATE WAY IS SO MIND BOGGLING FOR ME!!" EXPERIENCING HIM ALIVE & HIS BOUNDLESS LOVE FOR ME IS SO AMAZING UP TO NOW I WANT TO "PINCH" MYSELF TO BE SURE IF IT'S TRUE!!I TELL YOU PEOPLE ..IT IS TRUE & NOTHING WILL DISSUADE ME FROM THAT EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE WHEHER YOU BELEIVE OR NOT!!BUT AS FOR ME..I WILL SERVE THE LORD FOR HE CARED FOR ME DESPITE MY WEAKNESSES.IN FACT HE IS SANCTIFYING ME DAILY.
HE HAD PROMISED ME THAT HE IS WORKING IN MY CHILDREN'S LIFE & ALL MY FAMILY.HE WANTED FOR ME TO COME BACK TO THAT OLD MESSAGEBOARD SO HE CAN USE ME AS HIS ECHO.OH BOY!! I WRESTLED WITH HIM FOR QUITE AWHILE FOR I HAVE BEEN MALIGNED,SLANDERED,ABUSED VERBALLY , EMOTIONALLY & MY FAMILY WAS EVEN INVOLVED.YET,HE REMINDED ME GENTLY,THAT HE HIMSELF SUFFERED "MORE THAN I SUFFERED".
IT TOOK ME AWHILE BEFORE I SURRENDERED FOR ONE EARLY MORNING HE WOKE ME UP WITH AN INTENSE LIGHT HOVERING MY HEAD..I SAT UP FIGURING WHAT WAS GOING ON?I HEARD HIM VERY CLEARLY IN AN AUTHORITATIVE VOICE (HEARING IT QUITE LOUDLY IN MY SPIRIT..MY INNER MAN) & I SAW VISUALLY THE VERY CLEAR BLUE EARTH HOVERING IN THE CEILING & HE TOLD ME THAT HE IS DOING WARFARE AGAINST THE DARK FORCES OF THE EARTH & AS HE SAY THAT A NETWORK IS DRAWN ALL OVER THE EARTH COVERING IT(LIKENED TO A AT&T COMMERCIAL WITH NETWORKING LINES).HE NEEDS ME AS ONE OF THOSE NETWORKING FOR HE IS GATHERING UP WARRIORS THAT WILL WORK FOR HIM AT THIS VERY MOMENT..ALL OVER THE EARTH!! THEN, THE APPARITIONS DISSAPEARED!!I WAS SO DUMBSTRUCK ONCE AGAIN SINCE I HAVE EXPERIENCED HIM BEFORE (WHICH I NARRATED EARLIER)
I HESITATED..BUT HE SAID IN MY SPIRIT THAT HE WILL DO ALL THE TALKING ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TYPE WHAT HE(JESUS) PUT IN MY MIND.THE FIRST TIME I'M BACK AT THAT BOARD I WAS SO BOLD & DECLARE THINGS THAT GOD WANTS ME TO DECLARE.I WAS SO DUMBSTRUCK AGAIN FOR IN REALITY I CANNOT..CANNOT WRITE A BOLD STAMEMENT LIKE THAT!!I REJOICED BECAUSE RIGHT NOW HE IS IN CONTROL OF THAT BOARD..HE WANTED EVERYONE TO KNOW HIM AS HE IS..PERSONALLY & INTIMATELY..THAT HE LOVED EVERYONE & DESIRED FOR EVERYONE TO BE SAVED.
LISTEN,PEOPLE!!GOD DOES NOT WANTS US TO HAVE DIVISION(AS TO WHETHER YOU ARE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST, IS CATHOLIC,A METHODIST, BAPTIST) AS A BELEIVER OUR GOAL SHOULD BE IN ACCORD TO HIS ALONE NOT OUR SELFISH SELF:
HE WANTS EVERYONE SAVED!!!!
TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO REACH OUT TO OTHER PEOPLE WHETHER IF THEY HAVE SAME FAITH,DIFFERENT FAITH OR EVEN A WANTON SINNER!!!FOR HE CAME NOT FOR THE RIGHTEOUS BUT FOR THE SINNERS!!! _________________ Wedded to Jesus in Love

============================
If you expect me to think that you took this down from Jesus in the way
of DICTATION you will be disappointed.
I don't believe you can take dictation from God in a "THUS SAITH THE LORD" or "THIS IS WHAT JESUS SAID".
I have no interest and no appetite for that hyper pentacostal stuff.
I aleady spent time in that realm and graduated from it.
I believe that we are in the New Testament Age not the old testament age where God speaks "THUS SAITH THE LORD" dictations to Christians.
The Apostle Paul said one time in essence "I give you my opinion. But I think I have the Spirit of God."
Now this I respect. This I would take as coming from the God who lives in Paul. But today we are not taking dictation and telling people - "AFTER THIS LINE IS EVERYTHING JESUS SAID: etc. etc. etc. "
Other then this I appreciate your generous spirit and your sharing.
I would advize you to stop trying to take Old Testament style DICTATION from the Lord Jesus. You will be very very deceived and deceive others.
Please let it go. _________________ "I want nothing for myself. I want everything for the Lord." - Watchman Nee
