Hi Delvianna, the second story I shared actually WAS about God showing up for me personally, but maybe I did not express that very well. It did make the situation a lot more bearable, that's for sure đź‘Ť

I've had countless dreams that gave me comfort or direction in specific things, I know a lot of people discount dreams but I think some of them can be valid and come from God. It's a common theme is scripture.

I did have a situation where a friend shared a vision with me, and when he got to a specific part I suddenly knew it was a message for me addressing a secret fear I had held for years. The message was buried fairly deep in symbolism so the friend had no idea, but it was all very clear to me. I addressed the fear that very day through prayer and it hasn't really troubled me since then. Hard to explain but was very powerful.

I'm glad that God preserved you and clued you in on the "angels" deception, very cool example of Him looking after His kids! đź’ś

God is with us, every breath of our life.
Some people are staying away talking about experiencing God's presence, I am talking about believers.
While doctrines, theories, teaching is important, but if one does not experience God's presence, would this faith last?

Very true. How can you say "I know Him" without actually feeling like you have a relationship with Him? I don't think faith would last without it. Very good point!

I have seen some churches, they shy away of this teaching, and congregation is shrinking and shrinking.
While I do agree if faking the experience, or the experience is contradictive to scripture teaching, then should stay away.

I agree. I'm not liking where my congregation is headed either... People are complaining the service is too long and we're only gonna do group study like once a month now... ugh... Like, no one is forcing you to come or even stay. You think its too long, there is a door. You can walk out of it.

It's almost like, I'm sorry... is Godly worship getting in the way of your day? Awe.... :rolleyes:
 
I watched a video of Kirk Cameron saying this EXACT thing. His plan is for all good. Even if he doesn't answer our "WANT" prayers. He will always answer our NEED prayers. I have to remember that his ways are above my ways. FAR above.
