Talking WITH God

Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"

Are you talking to God or talking with God?

We're generally busy during the week so (although it's not right) we rush our prayers and end up talking TO God not allowing Him the chance to communicate WITH us. Satuday morning is usually the morning where we have the most leisure time. Take a moment to just sit silently in the presence of God and allow Him to speak to you. Although our lives are busy we should never be too busy for God and if you are you need to re-evaluate what HE has called you to do because it surely won't take away from Him. God is a jealous God who loves you and wants to spend as much time as possible with you. The more time you spend with Him the more you'll get to know Him and the more you'll understand your purpose in Him. I talk a lot about your purpose in God because it is something that I have to constantly remind myself. My life belongs to God; therefore, I have to live according to His rules. Remember, as christians we live in the world, but we are not of the world. With that we must be careful not to take on the ideals of the world thus hindering the fulfillment of our purpose in God. The ways of the world has the ability to block the communication channel with you an God with its ideals and distractions. BE CAREFUL!

Last week I accepted the challenge of ALWAYS getting on my knees to pray instead of praying in the shower or in the car. Guess what? God revealed that my praying on my knees should not replace my shower and car prayers; instead, it should be added to those prayers. Every night I've prayed on my knees then I get in bed and wait for the Lord to speak to me. I'm so grateful for my relationship with God! If it wasn't this blog surely wouldn't get written, but I have to communicate with Him in order for Him to speak through me as He often does here. 

God loves for us to talk to Him but He also longs for us to LISTEN to Him!
