Just thrown for a loop. God and His mystries ways
winner08:
greetings everyone,
I just wanted to tell y'all how God works in mystries ways in my life. Today, Just a few min. ago I was listening to Ray's audio on worship. Now check this out. My friend, who is staying here with us (my wife and I) for a while, came in my room and said, can I talk with you and I said yes. She said do you believe that sometimes God will give a message to someone for you. I said yes I do believe that God uses people for all kinds of reasons. Well she said she had a message from God for me. OK,The Lord told her that what I am doing here on Ray's site, reading and studying and conversing with other here is great and the Lord is happy with me in doing this. However The Lord told her that I need to worship Him more often. To talk and pray to Him more often. Now the really weired part is that I have been praying almost everynight and just talking to Him, asking Him to change my heart, to write His ways in my heart, To give me wisdom to understand His word. Also,I pray for Ray and ask God to give Him strength. To protect him and help him. Also to bless BT and that we may continue to learn. But I have to admit I do not know how to worship. In my head I can worship, With my mouth, But my heart is a different story. I once wrote a post where I explained that I felt like the biggest hypocrite cause I did not feel that deep true meaning of love that many here have for God. I felt like I just payed lip service, and I was really upset about it. There's nothing more I want. I want that feeling of deep true love. I am really upset about this. What my friend had told me just a few min. ago really confirmed my feelings. That I need help. I need to do more. I need to learn how to worship the Lord. I need to learn how to worship the Lord with all my heart and all my soul. My heart that is the key. Anyways I just wanted to share this with y'all and to let y'all know that I am asking for help. If anyone has any info on my situation besides Ray's audio on worship please drop me a line.
Thanks everybody and my God grant you a long and a healthy life that's full of His spirit and wisdom.

Hi Darren,
Without too much information to go on, i have three questions at this point
before trying to answer.
1: Exactly how did she say you were supposed to worship more.
2: How did she communicate with The Lord and get the message for you.
3. Where does she worship or attend church.

Darren,
The devil works through accusations such as you don't worship enough. Don't you find this odd that the accusation came at the time you were studying and worshiping god? Why would god interrupt your time with him to tell you that you need to spend more time with him? If you have been praying everynight according to god's will to change you then it will come about in his timing. Don't beat yourself up, it's a process. He makes all things beautiful in his time. You say that you want a heart of worship more than anything, and god's word say's that the lord looks at the heart, that he searches the heart, so if you worshiped with your mouth and head guess what? You worshiped with your heart and god saw it. You don't need to do more, just let god have the steering wheel of your life and rejoyce that he will do all he has promised in his word. Including making you more like him.
With love,
Britt

Darren, I don't know if this will be any help for you but I will tell you what helps me. Right, before I found out the truth I was spending one on one time with him. I had been ill and not going to church for over a year. Now, they tell us going to church is for worship. For me it was not what worked. When, I got alone with him I could hear what he was saying. I know, that Jesus talked to his Father alot . He was dependent on him he had a humble and contrite spirit.
Well, after all my time listening to him he led me to questioning the church. He then led me into Ray's website. Wow, I thought I worshiped him in church but I would come home and feel empty and depressed. I use to sing solos and come home and feel terrible something just was not right. I felt like a hypocrite. When, I realized I did not know God, I was blind and could not hear. I gave lip service. But, finding out it all was lies shook me and brought me to my knees. I worshiped him and praised him for who he was. I still get so amazed when I think of it. Now, I want to obey him. I love spending time talking to him. If, I do all studying and not spending time with him and do not listen to him. I begin to feel like I am in a desert and in need of a drink of water.
He grew me up in so many ways right after I learned the truth. All, kinds of things came flying at me. I was so amazed at how he could take me from standing still in my growth for years to growth in many areas all at once.
After, coming in here I learned many things and some things I just could not seem to grasp. Weeks went by. I was wondering why am I not learning anything again. I had not been spending as much time with him one on one. I was not as dependent. He wants us dependent. When, we are dependent on God it leave us in constant wonder.
Jesus knew that he needed personal time with him. Well, during my surgery and recovery I could not come in here and read. But, I could talk to God.
Then boom some more truths started opening up to me. Well, patience is something he really wants me to learn. He gives me the understanding in his time. You could hit me with all kinds of scriptures , but if he has not turned on the light it does me no good. One, thing I have learned from this is , that he knew when he was going to show me truths and he knows when I will understand more things.
I am glad to be in here and get understanding from others. But, in reality the only way I understand anything it all comes from him. This is something I try to think about Christ All In All. Strong in the Lord not in ourselves nor others nor in things.
Also, if we obey him he says we love him. If, we put him above ourselves this is worship. This can never lead us in to confusion , disappointment or who knows what. Jesus knew his Fathers voice because it was written in his heart. That, personal time keeps me from feeling like he is not doing anything. I trust him and just know he is there. When, I take my eyes off of him and focus on others that is when I Love him less and find I try to handle things myself.
Hope this helps you. I think Love and Worship comes from spending time with someone. Like our mates. We may think we know them and not know all there is to know. With God he keeps me wanting to know him more and more. The more I learn the more I worship and Love him.
Gaining knowledge is good. But time spent with God one on one is very important to my walk with him. After all everything we learn comes from him.
In His Love,
Marlene

greetings George:
1. Well George she never said how I was to worship more. I guess God left that part out.
2.She said that last night, I believe , That she keep getting a voice in her head. She said the voice said it was happy with my studies of the Lord (happy), but I need to be praising and worshiping Him more than I do.
3. She does not attend any church. As far as where she worship at, I can/t ansewer that. Maby the same place I do, inside myself. I talk, pray,ask, and listen inside myself. mostly at night about an hr or so when reading His word or going over my notes. I have 6 to 8 notebooks packed with things I read and wrote down or ansewers to questions and I even have many words with the Hebrew and Greek original words and meanings. I love to go over these words and learn the correct pronunciations and meanings. I try to learn to spell them and meaning of them. (Just a hobby) But like I said I don't know how or what she does to worship the Lord. I have been listening to Ray's audio on worship. I have it on now and I will wake up with it on in the morning.
