I Don't Feel You Anymore Tonight at church the spirit of the Lord was heavy in that place. We have had an Evangelist in who teaches on the power of the Holy Spirit so the past few days have been an emphasis on seeking God. Tonight at the end of the service during the altar time I found myself at the front of the altar praying for myself. Things are going pretty well and I feel like God is alive and well in my life but I wanted to feel him like I used to when I was younger, at camp or youth group or something. My prayer was, “God, I want to feel you like I used to. I want the tingly feeling and goose bumps on the back of my neck like I used to get when you were near.” My prayer was sincere and I prayed it in good faith expecting God to touch me like He used to. After a few short minutes, I heard Him speak to my heart. It wasn’t what I expected and He started with a question. He asked me, “Alex, what are you doing?” I responded in my heart that I was waiting to feel Him all over me like I used to when I was younger. Nothing wrong with that, right? His answer is one that I think is not only for me, but for you too. He said, “You don’t need to feel me when you KNOW that I am with you. You used to get those goose bumps because that’s what you needed at the time, but you have grown past that. You know the truth and the truth is that I told you I will never leave you nor forsake you. So, believe it even if you don’t feel it. Now get up and let your cup overflow by ministering to other people.” WOW! I believe God is saying that to you as well. You don’t need to seek the feelings any longer now that you have the truth! You know God is with you, even when your feelings tell you otherwise. I mean, you know your parents love you even when they have to punish you. You know your best friend is still your homie even though you are busy with life and can’t be around them all the time. You know you love chocolate even though you are on a diet and trying to cut back. Some things you don’t have to feel, because you just know! The same is true for God’s presence in your life. You don’t have to have the goose bumps and tingly feeling that you once had in order to know that God is still with you. All though there is nothing wrong with these types of experiences. But, perhaps God is saying to you, instead of waiting for the hair to stand up on the back of your neck, realize the truth of and go and minister to someone. We are blessed so that we can be a blessing to others. Don’t allow the enemy to tell you anything other than that! Word… P. Alex posted by Pasta' Alex # 11:13 PM   Comments: Post a Comment << Home |
