Jesus Girl

[HebrewsTwelve22]

Today I woke feeling very sad and my heart was filled with an agony unexpressible because for a few weeks now, I have not felt the presence of God in my life. I have prayed and cried and sought the Lord. I have even gone to people for prayer and yet I could not shake this horrible feeling of alienation from God. I asked if it was sin and racked my brains trying to fathom what it could be and yet God seemd silent.

This morning I said to God “God I know ALL your promises are true and one of your promises is that you will never leave us nor forsake us and I am going to hold that up before my eyes until your presence returns. If I cannot sense your presence it is not because of you. Your promises are true and you will never go back upon your Word. Lord I request this one thing…that in this day you would show me that I am yours. Amen

So…the day went on amid sighs and I forgot my prayer. In the afternoon I decided to take my Bible study notes down to the park and study amongst the squirrels and the oak trees. I walked toward my favourite spot (cup of tea in hand) when a couple of teenagers who I have spoken to a few times whilst witnessing, started shouting at me and jabbing their fingers in my direction for all to see.
I was delighted and tears of joy ran down my face because they were shouting…

“LOOK! IT'S JESUS GIRL!!”

I was filled with so much joy I could not contain it and shouted back…
“Yes! That’s me! I AM JESUS GIRL! THANK YOU JESUS!!”

He had answered my prayer through these two teenagers who had intended me harm but unwittingly been Gods instruments for good. Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus! What a privilege to be identified with you Lord! Bless your Holy Name.

Almost everyone I know who has been saved a couple years to a few years goes through this. God is slowly building your faith to know He is there, whether you feel Him or not. It's great to know His righteousness is showing in you.

Jesus girl I go through the very same thing alot, i sometimes wake up one day and the presence of god is gone. It is torture feeling apart from god but my love for him remains even if i cannot feel it. But i decide that when this happens i will see it as training and i will do whatever it takes to beat this feeling. actually a couple of times i had this feeling of being apart from god and the usual voice telling me today must be a day where i cannot feel god and cannot find the joy i usually get from him and i told myself No! it doesn't have to be this way This is where i draw the line I'm gonna love god no matter what Then god blesses me with his presence.

We all go throurgh spiritual dryness in deep prayerful prayer we all have that dark night of the soul,but as we continue to prayerfully pray,as we thrist and hunger for Jesus as it says in Matt.5,as we do this in Rightousness,"Blessed are we For We Shall Be Filled,and see Matt.4:4 and Luke 4:4, they are called Twin Vereses,We Need Jesus to Live not just by but on In His Holy Word.Amen AllWays amen....

Your testimony made me smile!
The builders secretly called my house" The Jesus house."
Through it I got to witness to the construction workers,
they thought I would be upset.

But I explained to them just like they put what they believe in on their tatoo's.
(I told them I thought putting animals on there skin was silly.)
I put what I believe in on the walls of my home.
They agreed it was pretty bold for both of us to show how we openly feel.
They said it changed how he felt about my scriptures.

Just Jesus chipping away at their hearts...the door was cracked open!

Thank you for sharing! Jesus Girl!

I think we all go through these dry times, although it is not nice.

While I don't tend to see it at the time and it is only when I look back, I think I have grown more as a person during the dry seasons and my faith increases.

It does feel amazing to be in that place high in the clouds somewhere with God, but what if we were only encouraged to eat chocolate and sweets but not the vegetables and meat we need to grow.

Imagine how it would be if a human child was wrapped in cotton wool all the time and was not encouraged to develop as a person with mummy and daddy at their every beck and call. They would never develop and would probably end up becoming self centred.

I think that as spiritual children the same would apply if God did not have the wisdom to allow us to develop our characters, our faith.
There are certain things within us that need refining and certains things that need to be put off altogether, in other areas we need stretching.

But praise God he is the perfect father who knows us better than ourselves and he knows just how to stretch without breaking, how to refine without spoiling, how to get rid of without distroying.














Ps 139 v 10 ..... even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

Ps 34 v 15 The eyes of the Lord are no the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry....
