Sir Yaeger, I am not sure I understand your question fully... however I think I have a great idea for you. Were you to read "the signature of God" I think you would find very much.

Reading God's Word is intentional and not just a mishap. If you love God, you will spend time with Him
and you do that by reading His Word. If you use a good study guide it explains many things we can't
understand today because the sense of value and worth they had for God does not exist today.

It is amazing how little many Christians know about God Who reveals Himself in His Word but I guess
this happens when most never spend time with God. If most Christians ate based on their time spent
with God, most would only eat once a week about 10 or 11 am on Sundays and would die from lack
of food in just a short time. But then don't feed their soul but on Sunday and wonder why God
doesn't speak to them. God speaks to those He knows but He only knows those that study His
Word. God's Word is God. God's Word is not just the Bible. The Bible is the only book that reads you
as you read it as God's Word reaches into your life and points out your short comings.

You'll most likely never find God on Utube. Christ never said, "Repent, believe on me and seek my
guidance on Utube".

Reading God's Word is allowing God and you to communicate with each other. Contemplating on
God after reading His Word by clearing your mind and asking the Holy Spirit to be with you is you
letting God talk to you as you clear your mind and open yourself to His guidance.
I usually use a candle after I read and study His Word. I clear my thoughts and put my troubles
aside for a few minutes to ask the Holy Spirit to touch me and speak to me. Its not so much a voice
as a strong inclination to do something.

I prayed about donating to a mission and then was given a strong inclination to do so that felt
very right and gave me a sense of pleasing God. I now donate hundreds each month. God has
blessed me for doing so.

God is always standing by to reveal Himself to us if we seek Him earnestly and not seek to find Him
on man made ways like utube. God is His Word and His Word is God. If you want to find God or for Him
to reveal Himself to you, do it His way - read His Word and seek Him.

God's Word and His Son Christ are the only ways to learn Who God is and access the power of the
Holy Spirit which is Jesus in Spirit form to guide us.

Seeking God on utube is about the same as looking to find a date by watching your favorite tv
show. It accomplishes nothing.

Just wandering here but you said that one of your favorite things to do was to read the bible right? This is not to sound like anything other than an honest question k. Are you doing anything with what you have learned from in your reading? church activity, volunteer work, outreach, anything like that? I ask because whenever i feel that void from god it is because, i at some point, have stepped off the path that god was leading me down and when i backtrack and figure out where things started going downhill i can correct it by getting back on the path where god wants me and getting back into his word.

There are many ways to spend time with The Lord, in the word, praying, serving others music. Over the years I have found the more I commit to Jesus the more he revials himself. Even every so often during the day praising and thanking Our Lord for all. I average 2 to 3 hours in prayer and word each day now and it is a praise to Jesus and a blessing to me. If I miss that time ,I find myself feeling the loss. It may sound like alot but it isnt. It seems that the more time I give the more I recieve and the time is always there to do the things I need to throughout the day. It is a good work.
God bless, pickles

Hey.... I found God on youtube. It wasn't actually a sermon there exactly, it was in the comments page if you can believe that, a big page with people agrueing about how a person is saved. A lady on there said, "I believe God can save someone anyway He wants". You know what? She was right. That being said, the God I found is alot more powerful than the one alot of "christians" believe in.

Also that verse rings very true to me, as a condemned man you would think everyone would be diligently seeking the TRUTH. But glory be to God, because He put that desire for it in me, in the first place.

If you go check out youtube, I would reccomend Paul Washer.

Yaeger1, Dino is one of my dearest brothers on this site! And He is right, Jesus is way more than what most people think. So is the Word of God! Every time i read some verse again, it seems to speak deeper than the previous time! This Book is just to Good to put down. I hope i can help you find the depths in Scripture. Let us look at one recent revelation and you will see what is mean! Saul is on one of his destruction rampages. He is seeking more Christians to bring to Jerusalem to be prosecuted, then Jesus appears to Saul, in a bright light. LEt us read it and then i will show you how easely we can miss something!
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
We see that the Lord spoke first, but Saul answered ...Who art thou Lord? He calls Jesus Lord already! And then the Lord says He is Jesus, whom Saul prosecute. But saul is only prosecuting the people known as Christians. See, already we learn one DEEP Truth! They are Jesus! This is easy to understand if we know the Whole Bible! Because every person that are filled with the Holy Spirit, is filled with Jesus! And if a body is full of Jesus, then there is no place for anything else!
The next part of the same sentence has another DEEP Truth in it. Jesus says... it is hard for Saul to kick against the pricks. Well if we know that it tis the work of the Holy Spirit to convince us of the sin in our lives, and we know the Holy Spirit does this with all people on earth, then we know the Holy Spirit also talked to Saul about this prosecution of the righteouss people. The pricks Saul is kicking against are the convinsing of his sin! So, we learn that Jesus in the Spirit did talk to Saul before this verbal exchange here on the road! \\
That is how we should know and learn the Word. Enjoy the Word of God, and may He reveal every depth of His Word for you.
