Enter the Throne Room of God

Posted on by admin

In an instant, everything changes. You run to God and fall to your knees while a roaring thunder rolls with pain throughout your whole being. If you do not know God, your tears and words may fall to the ground and be void before God. Those who have knelt before the cross of Jesus and has His blood fall from the cross to cover them., then you are not alone because you have the Holy Spirit within you. Yes your soul will ache, The pain keeps your words all jumbled up inside of you. Beloved, God is already there. The Holy Spirit will take your tears to God who puts them in a bottle. The Holy Spirit will speak to Jesus about what is happening.

I have been there my friends. The pain is unbearable. Sometimes I have heard the Holy Spirit speak on my behalf. I may not know exactly what word was being said word by word, but I knew the meaning of each sentence.

The closer you are to God, the closer His presence can be felt by you. God knows you need Him, He will bring you comfort. As to how fast this comfort comes depends on your relationship with God. God does heal you spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

Don’t hide from God and only come to Him when you are hurting. Have a relationship with God so you can enter His throne room in an instant.

I use Psalm 100:4 as a guide in my approach to God. “Enter His gates with thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him: bless His name.” (NAS).

But before we can enter His gates to the abode of God, we must have Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit is the key to unlock the gate to the realm of God. This holy place can only be entered by someone made holy. The Holy Spirit is your guide in this place. Stay at the gate to examine yourself, and confessing sin. If my heart is not prepared to go through this gate, I can feel pressure around my heart. It is as if the Holy Spirit is holding me back and saying, “Not yet.”

With sin forgiven and washed by the blood of Jesus, one can now enter the gate. I enter the gate thanking God for what He did for me that day. One needs to stand in the open gate giving thanks to the Lord God, waiting until the Holy Spirit to draw you to God’s court.

Remember Moses and how he waited for God. One needs to stay in the court praising God until the Holy Spirit says you can enter the throne room of God.

It is then that one can have the confidence to enter into the presence of God. Hebrew 4:16 says, “Let us, therefore, draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 10:19. In I John 3:21, “Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God. Dear Ones, if one approaches God through the blood of Jesus with His holiness in mind through worship, one can approach His throne with confidence. It is here, humbled at the feet of God, one can ask for help and the desires of one’s heart. The Holy Spirit will guide you in praying in His will. Again, if you start to pray out of the will of God, the Holy Spirit will put pressure on your heart. Let me warn you now, that when you are at the feet of the living God, touching the hem of His Holiness, your request may seem so unimportant. What you are experiencing and seeing more clearly are the attributes of God. It is there that you realize that you are but “dirty rags” and only want to praise and worship God with the giving thanks for Jesus and the work He did in order to save you and bring you to His feet. As Moses did, we are to wait and approach God, to accomplish Ephesians 3. We must take the time and discipline ourselves. God is always waiting for us.

You may want to search other books on prayer to help inspire you. I took a course called Prayer Life by T. W. Hunt. Then I guided my children through the course. http://www.lifeway.com

Where God Placed You For His Kingdom

Posted on by admin

Are you content where God has placed you? I am talking about your physical address. This is one of the things that has caused me to struggle. In the past, I have allowed this to cause my heart to ache. I am ok with the location I am at, but I wanted more land. At one time, I allowed this to become sin. It was on my mind a lot. I will not admit if it sneaks back now and then.

I have been married twice. My first husband decided he did not want to be a father or a husband. A day after that there was no money for food or anything. He had the only car. I am not going to tell the story about my children and me. God took very good care of us. But I do not want to see my children, or any child hungry again. I thought of ways where that would never happen. Those thoughts would come and go.

There are two children’s homes within a few miles from me. These homes allowed me to express my love for children. There was one child that I will never forget. Her name was Tina. For ten years I was allowed to love her. I have not seen her now for about 45 plus years. I will always love her. I am so thankful that God allowed me to love her.

Every Christmas our church would list families that were not able to give their children a Christmas. The Lord would always touch my heart. He caused more love to grow. I always tried to choose the family with the most children. My children learned from this kind of love.

One of our television stations had a segment once a week with children that wanted to be adopted. The Lord told me no, but I still watched it, just in case He changed His mind. My mind still remembers one of the children that I wanted to love so much. She was 12 years old with red hair and freckles. My love for her did lead me to pray for her.

Another thing I love is animals. If I had a lot of land, I would go to every kill shelter around and rescue all that I could. My heart is really burdened for horses in kill pens.

Also, I wanted cabins, to help people when they needed a place to stay on my ranch. On this ranch. I could rent cabins out on weekends to help bring money into the ranch. But the one rent house we have can help.

God had been totally silent concerning a ranch. My one-sided communication with God felt like my words were landing on deaf ears. But I still talked to him. I ever thought out building requirements and so forth. One day I was talking to Him about cows and how beneficial they would be. God finally said something. He said, “Now Diana, do you really think you could have a cow killed?” I pondered for a moment and said, “No.” All these years, God had been listening to me carrying on and on. I have not talked about a ranch again, but it is still in my heart. I have never brought up the subject of cows.

So I said all of this to share how one can sin, by not being content. Even if it is for a noble cause, it can be a sin. There is nothing wrong with having dreams. Dreams can cause one to better themselves or improve your circumstances. Without dreams, we could not start a business.

Sometimes dreams are passed down to our children or others. Once I shared a building design with a stranger. Within a year he had accomplished what I shared. That accomplishment was beneficial to his family and the community. So ask God and sees what He says. Don’t let it consume you and become sin.

Dreams come from three sources. The first are dreams that come from you. Discuss them with God, before you venture in trying to make them come true without God.

Second, dreams can come from Satan., to keep us from advancing in what God wants us to do. Again, pray.

The third dream can come from God. He places them in your heart. We need to be sure that our dreams are owned by God. God is to be the source of all our fulfillment. Our thoughts and dreams are to be birth by the Lord. Because they are birth by God, you will have joy as you move forward. Beloved, pray. If your dreams are from the Lord, expect problems from Satan. Prayer is important because it invites God into your circumstances. Only He can fight this battle.

I have heard people say that they don’t need to pray. If God wants it to come about, He will cause it to happen. Prayer is vital in all that you do. How can God direct you if you do not call upon His name and you listen? Make God the owner of your dreams. Don’t let it consume you and your thinking. Open your heart to God and rely on Him.

I Am In Need of Prayer

Posted on by admin

Beloved ones of God, I would appreciate prayer. I am thankful that I do not have to have a shot in my eye for 12 weeks. I started out with one every 4 weeks. My cancer has not gotten worse. The Lord has me on a “still pause” mode. So praise the Lord with me in thanks. I am in need of prayer concerning my right leg. Also, I had an EKG that showed something. I will undergo some tests next week. Please pray for God to heal this body. I do thank each and every one of you.
