God Talks To Us

Today i want to look at something that is very important and is getting more and more
important in my opinion.

I like to call this session: to be sensitive to the way god is talking to us, and train it.
U now may ask, What? Why? What for? How come?

Well last Sunday we had testimony night, some of u might have been there. And as we shared
out testimony’s we could see something really cool happen

On last Thursday, Merle suddenly had the feeling she needed to pray ( she couldn’t sleep) and she stared praying, first for herself, a little later she felt that she had to pray for me.

While she was praying she felt gods peace rising up like a river, and then she went to sleep.

Same time, far far away, I was working late shift. One of my patients is having a trouble time at
the mo, he cant find rest, is always screaming, and seems to be really afraid. His body is always
very tense. He cant speak at all.

Well suddenly, I just went to this patient to turn him on the other side ( cause he cant move himself) when I felt I deep peace raising up like a river in my heart

The peace rose and rose and stared to overflow, I simple had to pray. I prayed, for peace and
that al fear has to go. I could feel that the peace that rose inside me, filling the room and the
patient as well

After about 5min, the man was really quiet, his body stared to rest, he closed his eyes, and
there was no screaming at all.

Isn’t that cool?

God, the holy spirit showed merle to pray for me, she realised that, and fallowd her feelings, even if she didn’t know at all what she was praying for

I trusted my feelings I prayed, eventho I’m not allowed to do this at work

And cause both of us have been sensitive and fallowed what the holy sprit told us to do we actually did change something, and this patient of mine had a peaceful night.

So god talks through our feelings??????’

YES he does.

God talks in many different ways.

Throught the bible,, through a song, through dreams, through thoughts, feelings,
impressions,….
We need to be sensitive.

If our feeling suddenly change, or if someone comes to ur mind, its often the holy spirit . he wants to show us something.

In the beginning, it may be hard to realise when god is speaking, but it is only a matter of
training,

Like when u learn a new language or something new, we need time to train.

We need to ask jesus that he helps us to know when its him speaking, cause not every change of feelings or emotions are from him.

So if we now gonna have a time of prayer, pay attention to ur feelings and thoughts, and if something comes to ur mind, whatever it might be, a pic, a feeling, sudden thought u are free to share it

But there are some rules ( these roles are from the prophetic prayer team from my church, but
I think they are really important)

We say only things that are ENCOURAGEING, CONSTRUCTIVE COMFORTING


(time for prayer and giving words of engouraging, it was really gr8)

Time With Jesus

I was thinking about David. He was called a friend of God.

How much of his time did David spend with god?

I guess quite a lot, cause when we read his psalms I see a deep friendship between David and god

O how would I like to have such a friendship with God.

There are times when I would like to spend more time with god, but I don’t seem to find any
time at all.

Theres always something else that’s going on.

But id love to spend more time with god….

I guess that some of u may also think that u would like to spend more time with Jesus

But u don’t seem to find time.

Does anyone at all feel a bit like that??

But what exactly is “spending time with Jesus”??

Is it just reading the bible??

Or praying??

Or what else might be “ spending time with Jesus”

Worship, listen to worship, praying, singing, listening, just be and do nothing, read bible, think
about him, think about dreams we had, talk to him, be here for a friend that needs love of Jesus,

but I think the most important is that we take our times where we do nothing, where we just are here and be with our god

Could it be that we spend more time with him then we think??

I would like u to participate.

Please take a sheet of paper and a few pens, if pos in different colours.

Take the sheet the with the long way on top

Then draw a line in about the middle of the sheet

On the left hand corner u note the time of “getting up”

In the right hand corner time of “going to bed”

Now note the important daily stuff, like “getting to work”, and “ lunch” “break” and so on, in the
upper half of the sheet.

Ur day may seem really full, right??

Now take an other colour, ur favourite for example.
Now it gets a bit tricky…. But just wait and see
For example: on tope of my timeline there’s “ driving to work, 20 min”

Well I could use this time to spend this time with Jesus, by listening to worship songs, or praying

Or in the morning when u get dressed, why not using this time and pray?? But on the armour of god for example.


Cause if we spend time with Jesus scattered over the whole day… we come up with quite a lot.

Its not about spending at least so and so many minutes until it “counts”

No!!

Every second we spend with Jesus, by praying, worshiping, reading his word, thinking about him and so on.

It’s a bit like we would send txt-messages to Jesus

Not only phones count, also txt messages!

Isn’t that gr8??

By the way, what is enough time??

Can we say today I did spend enough time with Jesus??

I cant say, I just know that the more time we spend with him, the easier it gets.

Its starting to become a habit.

But back to the question about the about of time…. There is no measure…
just a thoughts…
. We should give Jesus 10% of our incoming…
10% of out time would be 124 min, that’s a bit more then 2hours… isn’t really much if we start
to use the txt-message times!
