I had an amazing revelation yesterday... I was worshiping to a song and suddenly it clicked. Has anyone heard something a million times, but it never really sunk into your heart? Then suddenly out of the blue you are hearing a song or a preaching and then you finally get it. I love the scripture if God is for me who could be against me? Now because of this revelation that scripture is personal to me.

The song says," I know that you are for me. I know that you will never forsake me in my weakness."

Wow! amazing that even when I feel rejected, God is for me. Even when I make mistakes he will never leave me. He loves me. He is my number 1 fan. Praise God!!!

Here is the song on youtube. You are for me by Kari Jobe

I guess what I'm trying to say is that growing up I was rejected by my parents, so it has been a struggle to receive God's love. I have always known that God loves me, but it has been difficult to trust him because of my past experience with my parents. These past couple of years God has been revealing himself to me. He is making my heart whole. The other day when I was worshiping him, he really made himself clear to me. I want you all to know that if you struggle with believing that God loves you because of past wounds; Please know that God is good and he wants to heal your heart. :)

Thank You for sharing this. For many years, when someone said God the father I would shut down. Father, are you kidding me. Been there and done that don't want another father.
One day at church I was alone and painting a room for the nursery. As a child I had received many beatings and verbal abuse episodes over painting our house. I was thinking how much I hated painting. A peace came over me and a calming voice in my head said " The man has been dead for three years. Do you realize you are still trying to make him happy."
I very much enjoy painting now and I have even made some money at it.

I went through something like this, I remember as a child thinking that if I was from the same God as my father was, then I wanted nothing to do with Him. Now that I have gotten past that, it's like he has become present in every part of my life, I even look into the meaning of the times i don't FEEL like he is there.

Praise God that He spoke to you in such a way! I love it when He uses something as simple as music to get something across to His people. He really can use anything. I love that He loves us in such a way to get out attention like that! Thank you for sharing :) It is always encouraging to hear!

I am so happy for you! Yes, it is an incredible revelation to become aware of THE loving Father...especially when your own parents are not very loving or encouraging. See yourself through His eyes and no one else's :)

Be careful how you hear the word of God especially coming from the contemporary Christian music industry. Yes God is for us, which means those who have come to Him on His terms, which is through repentance and faith, both proven by deeds, he will not forsake a humble, contrite heart, broken in repentance, ans His hand and great mercy is upon him!

Yes we all make mistakes, But IF you mean he is for us when we decide to fornicate, watch a little porn, go get drunk and party, lie, cheat and cuss, etc,, then the wrath of God is still upon you!

Again is no respecter of persons, He is for His true saints, that are walking the narrow road, cleansed and purged by the blood, that can only come from real repentance and faith, and is against the repeat after me crowd that thinks thay can live like the devil, and love the world and still be in the will of God!

And I assume you mean this in your post, as any other way is the way to perdition!

Blessings or God’s Long suffering!​
​
1Pe 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.​
The word of God clearly states in 1 John 3-7, that those who do what is right are righteous, He never says as perfect as He is or His spotless son, but does make a distinct contrast between those who are righteous and those who are evil and wicked.
He watches over His sheep, who have come to Him as He commands, not confessing, receiving and trusting, but in repentance, and faith proven by deeds, where the sin stops before mercy can even begin to be given, He is longsuffering, wanting all to come to repentance, but for those who think they can remain double minded, serving two masters, living in sin and loving the world and all its vain attractions are kidding themselves.
Those in prosperity, living a charmed life, thinking God is blessing them, are also being deceived, as either you have come to Him in repentance and faith as the city of Nineveh did, and are walking a righteous life, free from the bondage's of sin and worldliness, or you are still in your sins and disobedience, thinking all is well, when it is not!
When God sees us, He doesn't see the righteousness of Jesus in us; He sees our heart, which is either made pure through faith (obedience) or evil and still in bondage to sin. God has nothing for the double minded, and is no respecter of persons, but He does reach out to us, if we come to Him in brokenness and repentance, crucifying our flesh with Him in reality, Gal 2-20.
I was told you could be lukewarm and be in the will of God, as He overlooks our sins against Him, once we accept Jesus as our savior, then the blessings and answered prayers will come, and all the prosperity, and excess I built up in my life, was not considered idolatry, but a blessing because Gods favor was upon me.
I accepted the package the churches are selling, come as you are, they would say, get saved in your sins and double minded state, and then Jesus will clean you up later.
I loved my occasional pet sins of porn watching, vile TV shows, drunkenness, and pride in my possessions etc...They told me I was blessed, Gods hand is upon my life now, I received the deal of a lifetime, you do nothing, Jesus did it all, and you just sit back and enjoy the ride along with all the other poor sinners, saved by grace alone, faith alone, which as I soon found out wasn't in the word of God.
God's eyes and ears are open to the righteous ones who do what is right by faith, by a heart made pure through repentance, as described in 2 Cor 7-10-11.
God was asking me to do this:
Jas 1:21 Therefore putting aside all filthiness and overflowing of evil, receive in meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22 But become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Until I did, and came out of the system of lies, Gods had nothing for me, as He waited patiently for me to wake up from my slumber, and seek His mercy as the prodigal son did!
Tommy
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Tommy,

Of course one would have to be for Christ and everything he stands for, before He can be for them. I'm saying that I'm learning who I am in Christ, despite my upbringing. It's also understanding that God has unconditional love for me even when I make mistakes. I don't have to fear that he will abandon me in my weakness.
