I truly believe what the church needs is to take time to be alone with God. It takes a while for us to clear our minds of the daily routines of life before we can ever be able to hear God speak. Church people pray but it is usually in a hurry and usually there are only quick requests made and then it's on to the next event in our busy schedule. God wants us to take some time to listen to what He has to say. Do you take your bible to your prayer time so if you have a hard time hearing His voice you can open God's word and let Him speak to you that way until you develope your ability to hear God speaking to your inner self? Your heart as we call it. I believe God is always speaking to us but most of the time it's in a still small voice. ( 1st Kings 19:12 )
In this passage of scripture Elijah had been so busy doing things for God he could no longer easily hear God's voice as he should. God had to use a strong wind, earthquake, and then fire to get Elijah's attention. Sometimes we get to feeling so sorry for ourselves that we can't hear God's voice.
So we must take time to get alone with God if we ever want to really hear Him speak to the point of giving us sure direction in the ways we need to go whatever situation we may be facing. God says that from wherever we are " If we will seek the Lord your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." (Deuteronomy 4:29) This is the promise of God. God does not and can not lie. So you and I must believe that if we with all our being seek God through bible reading, prayer and then meditation we are certain to find Him and His will for our lives. Once you begin to spend time alone with God you will never want to stop. It will change your life for the better forever. What keeps you from sending time alone with God? Don't make excuses! We all find the time to do what we truly want to do. It is a matter of priority. My prayer for you would be God help you find the time and the will to be alone with Him however long that may be each day. If you will do this you will find more and more time to seek Him because you will see the need for it and it will make your life go so much better. You will begin to experience the very presence of God in your life and you will find that you are constantly communing with God through out the day.
For those reading this who may not even know God, you can begin to know Hm today, right now. If you will admit you have sinned-(done wrong)- before a Holy God and you have not lived up to His standard for mankind-(10 commandments) and then ask Jesus Christ His Son to forgive you and then invite Jesus into your life to take charge of you and your ways you will be saved. Then go to a bible teaching church and tell the pastor there that you want to be baptized and then join that church and begin to worship God there. You will then find a great desire to find out more about God and His ways for your life. You will then begin to live the victorious and abundant life style. You will ask yourself, why did I wait so long to come to God?
