Thanks for responding! We can have a conversation about the practical Christian life, if you wish; or I can continue the discussion here itself. Over the years, I have learnt some 'keys' to a positive and fruitful Christian life. But it applies to those who are truly born again! Sadly, many are trapped in cults & heresies (false doctrines), and many have no idea of what it is to 'walk in the Spirit', 'be led by the Spirit' and to have a life fully 'surrendered to God'.

The first key is Obedience.
So many say that they have Faith, but they do not Obey God.

Try this questionnaire:

1. Are you in the habit of having a daily Quiet Time with God? Do you read the Bible (at least a chapter) and ask God to speak to you? Do you reflect over what you've read? Do you receive promises from God? Does the Word convict you of any negligence or omission in obeying God?

2. Do you maintain a prayer list? Do you pray for your family? friends? church members? Do you 'walk with God, talk with God' in your heart, as you go about your daily duties? Do you maintain a to-do-list and do you pray over it? Can you say that your prayer life has increased?

3. Do you spend more time on Facebook/Twitter/Internet than time alone with God? Do you share Christ on FB/Twitter/Internet, or do you indulge in trivialities and chit-chat?

4. Can you say that you have utterly surrendered to God, that you are living 100% for Him, and that you are in this world to serve Him?

5. Can you say truthfully that the world does not attract you anymore? Can you say also that you have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires? Can you say that the Holy Spirit has taken full control of your life? and that you are 'led by Him'?

Hi. I'm Nick. I'm here to simply "up" the volume of conversation about God in my life. It's been waining over a long period. I have been a pretty useless Christian for about 20 years. I find it incredibly difficult to "feel" Him these days and it feels all the way impossible to "hear" Him. Also, I feel that the pace of this world's emancipation from Him has exponentially increased, only in the last few years! I think we all need to stand together more tightly than ever. Looking forward to connecting and sharing.

Completely agree, brother Nick. He seeks a close relationship with each of us. So much noise and so many distractions. We need to take time to listen to that still, small, voice. Welcome to CC, Nick! :):coffee:

1 Kings
19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:
19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
19:13 And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

Hi again all, specifically Mr Oyster67... I'm going to drop a little more honesty. I'm keen to read what you can do with this too... I know a bit of scripture. Not a lot. I'm talking about probably the top 40% of the most quoted gear. But, I don't know what is wrong with my heart in that; I never feel it's impact on my life. Your verse from Kings is a great example. It's well within my knowledge database. Read it, discussed it, even prayed on it many times (in my youth mostly to be fair). But... I've never EVER been SURE about when god is speaking to me. I have never been able to split it from my own ramblinng thought patterns. I listen for the still small voice in my heart. And in my desperation with my physical ears. But I never hear anything. Sometimes I have emotional reactions I imagine are Gods imprint on me, but it never permeates... amd quite frankly, it could just be me... this is my struggle. I need help.
