Is Faith something unknown? Something you can tuch or just trust?

Questions, answers anda lot more.

In my house church, we r going through an alpha serie, with questions, movie and sharing. How will u discribe faith? And how did u get there?

Repentance & faith is how to get there.

Do u think over this? Do u share it with anyone?

Faith is trust. To trust something u can’t see or the trust u won’t fall off a chair. Faith is the unknown. Like the chair, u don’t know who made it or how u got it. It’s unknown.

Are all Christians wierd? Or can it be something unknown for the people who isn’t christians? How can we be for them around us, and not get the stamp of being wierd?

An other part of faith is, it is an relationship. A relationship to the Lord. To someone who loves u more then u ever can love a child, ur child if u got one (or several). God wants u to understand that he loves u as his child.

If u aren’t a Christian, ask him to get into ur life with a simple prayer. Ask him to forgive ur sins and be able to start a new life with him.

If u have God in ur life, when did u open the door (or window) [a picture of how u met Jesus] to let him in to ur life? How is ur Journey with him? Tell someone u trust or ur house church. It will encourage those u have around u.

How have your faith grown? And how have your journey been from the start to now?

My thoughts, ur thoughts, facts, the thread through the Bible who can help us through life.

How to Listen to God…by the devotional.

If we only speak to God and never take time to listen, we make the same mistake.We do all the talking and we don’t actually listen to him. But our relationship with God is meant to be a two-way conversation. 

In Proverbs 3:1-10 it says… ‘ My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.’

To write down thoughts that come into my mind that may come from the Spirit of God. In a media-saturated age we have many voices that come to us on TV, radio, the Internet, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email and text message. We have the voices of family, friends and colleagues. And sometimes we have the voice of Satan tempting us to disbelieve God’s word and to doubt that God has our best interests at heart.

How do you hear the voice of God in the midst of the noise and distractions of life?

I hear my Lord in prayers and worship with other Christian people. That’s also how He share what he wants the other person. To help he/she to understand what the Lord is trying to say wants for that person. Most the times I feel the Lord use me and my gift to reach this other person when he/she has a hard time to understand it is from the Lord, what the he/she has asked for. But can’t hear the Lord for all the noices in the head or in the background in her/his life. Very related to hear the lords voice.

Sometimes the Lord talk to me through pictures, other times through a bible vers. Most comman I hear the Lord talk to me with simple Positive and Encourging Words to reach the other person to recive.

We all need to learn our way how the Lord is talking to each of us.

If I don’t have the oppurtunity to be in worship or praying with other Christian people, I go for a walk to clear my brain to hear better. I rather have a noicy sea or a forest around me to hear the Lords voice than a city. But lately I have also heard his voice through music, pod cast’s. Very few times through a dream. And recived a message from Him.

He’ll use the same ways we use! We just need to be open for it.

To jump – different.

To jump – different, for me doesn’t necassary mean to actually jump. In one way it is a jump. Emotional. Jump.

To dear to take the step. The Emotionals Step. The Emotional Jump. To be scared. To feel. To get into a roller coaster. To share. To be. To trust. To live. To be able to focus…

To let someone in. Let a male in (for me). To get to know me.

Something most people take quite easily on. Not me. I have burned to many bridges.

My bridges in my own life.

To jump on the emotionals train… To let feelings pop up, to trust the feeling. To trust not just the Lord.

And than comes those other things in my life… where I am right now. Am I ready? Can I ever be ready again? Or will I do the same mistakes again? Have I learned enough about me to take this jump? Do I know myself enough to do this huge thing that scares myself? Slowly is good isn’it? To figured out things on the way…

I know I have started the ride with a train. That I have jumped.

Where will this lead? Can I trust it? How do I react on my own feelings? Chaos in my head…

What I have learn so far? To trust the Lord. ❤ No matter what I feel, I need the guidance from the Lord to know I am on the right path! And from Day one I have had peace and I know from where this is for me. 😊✝️😊 To have Faith and Believe. To stay on the track with Him.

I have since Day one put the whole situation in the hands of the Lord. 😊 and He shows me daily and through the whole day that He the Lord loves me and is guiding my steps. 😊

I am trying to not doubt this thing for once. It’s hard! But I’m trying.

It’s hard to jump and not knowing the outcome 🤪🥴. And ” they ” say it’s Love.

Whatever I feel, I need to trust the Lord. He knows whats best for me. He knows my life. He has been a part of my life for at least 13 years. He has been there in my roller coaster of feelings.

And my experence is that when I talk to Him, He is near.

Whatever I feel I know He care for me. He will guide me. He will surround me and I will be protected by His grace. And He will bless my life. ❤✝️

Single or Get Married? Part one of three.

I am reading a book about this subject right now because I am interesting about the thoughts and mind. I want to get married. I don’t want to be single for the rest of my life. I have had my own struggle with this for some years. For many years I didn’t wanna get married for the course of get my own kids, no, I wanted to get married and then see if I/we could adopt kids. But during the last 4 years God has helped me to change my mind in this. It has been a struggle for me to come to the point I am today but probably worth it.

And during the Christmas holiday (December-15) God spoke to me about this much stronger then I have felt before. I got a longing desire from God to get married. I’ve got a desire to become a mom, a wife, have my family. And this is big for me.

In the book the writer talks about how we can’t really expect the «old style» any more about «how to sit and wait for the right one to show up» It doesn’t look like that in 2016! If you and me have a desire to get married we have to start looking for someone that are in our network and «qualifies» our personality. We have to be doing things and not just wait. Because if we wait, we will probably be waiting for the rest of our life.

It’s not just “what I want in your personality” its also to be able to see “what can you live with” and “how can we compromise each and an others issues?”.

Ask, Seek & Knock

To want to get married is a decision in life. It’s just like to be in-love with a person, it’s a decision you take. It is like if you or I want to take an education, we look for the right one, we apply and we starts it. Its a bit the same with I want to get married.

I am active.

I don’t just sit and wait.

Its not just the thought about «Yes I want to get married one day» well you might but it can take some longer time then you probably wanted. No, it is a decision «I want to get married» to start the process in your mind and soul, doing, acting and living!

Its How you Think about it.

It’s not just something that will just happen. It’s about you and me. Do I / you want to get married? If yes, then we have to something about it. We have to start talk about it like we talk about other normal things with our friends. We should not be afraid of talking about things we have on our heart with friends.

I think that if we talk more about this it want be so hard, tricky or awkward and both girls and guys will not be so sky or embarrass about the subject and actually ask someone out.

Whats the worst answer you can get? A no? 

Sometimes I think we all are to fast to say those words “no I don’t think we fit each others”. How and what are you grounding this on? Have you seen that much of the persons personality that you know what God’s plan is?
