more info...  		I have been a very hard and fervent searcher for the last 9 months, why? Pending divorce.  Now I feel as though I should let it go.  I know everyone says give it to Him.  But I really mean "let it go".  If the bride of my youth would change her mind right now, I am not so sure I wouldn't have also, and spurn her.  Yet I am supposed to be there for her.  I have looked for Him so long.  I have waited for her so long.  I don't have much left. I am not sure I have anything left.  If the show would have not come on TBN tonite, I wouldn't even be writing this.  I don't know where I am.  Tommy says to "die"  to see Him, or experience Him.  "Don't get rituallistic."  As soon as I say OK, then my little mind says just do that and I'll have it made.  My subliminal thoughts are always coniving a way to make it work.  They won't stop, and they make me feel fake.  Where am I?  
This God of ours, I am looking for that guy.  I know in my mind what I should know. But where is He?  Where am I?

more info...  		Hi,
  
    With everything that I have read that you wrote, such as trying, praying, searching, using your mind, changing your techniques,  ect... ect... ect...

Sounds to me like your chasing,...  
Yes , won't be long now before you catch Him,
or He catches you......

Trust me,  God is closer to you now than he ever has been....Just keep searching,  chasing,  wanting ect... and you have the promise of the Lord....

" Seek me with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and You SHALL Find Me,  says the Lord.....

And I am speeking from experiance,  Remember,  Seek HIM for HIM , don't seek him thinking that if you get to him , your problems will vanish,  because when that is the case we are not really seeking God, We are seeking what he can do for us and our situations if we by chance find him and thats not Truly seeking " HIM "

I will leave you with this:

"You will stand taller than any man when your on your knee's"

"Behold you stand in the palm of my hand and NO ONE can pluck you from my hand" Says the Lord

God bless you as you bless Him..
Keep Chasing. Dont stop for anything or any situation..

But Faith see's God's Face"

more info...  		thank you for your words.  But at this time I don't feel like a God chaser.  I would love to be.  But I let my hope get too high and had it blown down too many times.  You could have called it blind faith, which may not be bad, but it should be placed in what His will is, not mine.  I know what to say and what I should think.  But to feel it.  I am not there.  My mind says to walk away from it, and it says to stay in it.  I wish someone knew what I mean because I don't even know. Even to show my faith or practice it, without trying to draw attention, I get ridiculed and mocked.  Which is not a big deal except it is from the love of my life (formerly)  She made me feel like a failure before when I was after the Lord.  She makes me feel like a failure now. The only problem is I wasn't a failure in my persuit of Him before, but by giving up now I will be.  Please pray for me that the Holy Spirit gives me the spiritual strength and sustinance to get back in the battle.  They say we are humans going through spiritual journeys, but I have heard it said that we are truly spirits in a temporary human journey.  Unleash my spirit.  Strip my pride.  I need GOD!!  I want to be worthy of Him.  I want my heart to ache for Him.  Why doesn't it?

more info...  		Searcher-

You seem to be in a difficult place in your life right now.  Relationships are often not easy because they involve two seperate souls with wills and thoughts and emotions and historys etc...which can be very challenging.  It sounds like your (wife) is not a believer, right?  And that makes it hard too.  Do you attend a church right now?  Because the thing to do would be to talk to someone, like a pastor, or elder or a church counselor to try and help you sort this out.  The Bible has advice about being married to an unbeliever in I Corinthians 7.  But, I'm sure there is much more to it than what you have written.  That's why I would seek out someone to help you through this.

But I will pray for your faith right now which is being tested.  Father in heaven I lift up my brother in the Lord and I do ask in the Name of Jesus that you would strengthen and encourage his faith to keep believing in you No Matter what happens.  Thank you Lord that you are a good God and you are there for us when we need you and cry out to you from our hearts.  You do have answers, maybe not the ones we like to hear, but you are the Way, the Truth and the Life Jesus.  Thank you for bringing clarity and peace in my brother's mind in Jesus' Name!

God Bless you

more info...  		I do go to church on a regular basis.  I am also aligning myself with believers who are helping me tremendously.  As far as the church goes, filled with non-believers.  But my faith keeps me in the denomination, because I believe it is right, not to say others are wrong.  I have placed God on the top of the ladder. Next, is supposed to be my wife, yet I don't feel I have a wife. So my children are next, then my religion.  I am letting His will take over, I am trying not to interfear.

more info...  		God led me to this topic and He wants you to know how very much He loves you!  You are not your own, you were bought with a price!  When we die daily it is to the FLESH.  If you are in the flesh you cannot please God.  The carnal mind is an enemy of God.  Our thoughts must be God's and we are told to pray without ceasing.  When we keep our mind on Jesus, He will keep us in perfect peace.  He left us His peace!  When we surrender all to God, and make Jesus Lord in all areas, resist the devil, humble ourselves to God, He will exhault us.

more info...  		Kathleen, what brought you to this message?  Why after it has been here so long.  I need help, I have fallen from my path, so what lead you here?  I just two days ago picked up the bible on my own and read my daily devotional.  I was just able to get back online after a very hard two weeks, and your message is there.  I truly appreciate your message.  But what lead you here?
Why did you want to tell me what you did?  I am trying to be a chaser, but now I question whether or not it is I being chased by Him.  Could I be so lucky, or worthy?  I have been as low as being incarcerated just before New Years. I have been restricted from even stepping foot on my property.  I have not been given a voice on this, nor my 15 year old son who was with me through the alleged incident.  We feel as though we don't count even with people who know us, so why, how come He, through you I believe, would bother looking for me.  I want to be His and I need to be His.  Is He looking for me?  I just don't know.

more info...  		God directed me to your message.  I used to come here a lot, but it got away from it's purpose.  I have asked God to make me a blessing, and want to obey Him.  You did not pick up your bible on your own.  The Holy Spirit's timing is perfect.  When we go and do things on our own, we mess them up!  You needed to hear God loves you.  Not that any of us deserve or can earn His love (He is love).  I believe God is calling a people who have pure hearts and motives and He is getting ready for His glory to fill the earth (through His saints).  You are neither lucky nor worthy.  Only God is worthy and without His gift of mercy, none of us would be here.  Only God's voice counts.  If you will trust and obey Him, He will work things out in HIS time.  Rely on, adhere to, and trust in the gospel (death, burial, and resurrection) it is the power of God unto salvation.  He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb.  You are in the palm of His hand and the apple of His eye.  Keep your thoughts and intent of the heart on Him and expect to see the salvation of the Lord!  Love N E V E R fails!
