Walking with God

[Bill]

Over the years in my time with the Protestant churches I've discovered a few things that I never thought of before.

It never occurred to me that people would not know how to walk with God. And it never occurred to me that people would not know how to love God and talk to him.

You see a lot of the churches I've gone to, there was a lot of praise of God, a lot of worship of God, a lot of beseeching God for different things for healings and helping financially all sorts of things.

But I was really shocked after giving some speeches at some Churches, and having people come up to me and asking me how do you walk with God. How do you have a friendship with God.

You see some people have spent their whole lives beseeching, praising, singing, but never taking the quiet moment just to be with God.

So I really encourage everyone to take time just to be with God. Go find a waterfall and sit, and just talk with God. He is our Father after all.

Maybe they were 'fake' Christians?

I would know.
The condition of your soul i am very aware of.

I think what upsets me the most, Christians who make judgments on others without really knowing those other people. Without knowing the situation of where they are and how they got to be where they are.

Those same Christians making assumptions and putting themselves at risk. Because there's only one judge, and it's not the Christian's place to make that judgement

I'm not a fan of Christianity. I am not a Christian. I am a Messianic Jew. Yeshua/Jesus was not a Christian. He was a rabbi and an observant Jew.
The word Christian is only mention 3 times in the B'rit Hadashah (New Covenant) the name didn't come into being until well after the crucifixion.
Shalom Aleichem

Does God dwell in your heart? If God is in the center of your heart. Where you love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with your whole being. Then we are brothers. Because I do too

My experience is that walking and talking to God. Being mindful of His real presence and interest in all we do, happens only with time.

I don't want to boast, but I feel like the Holy Spirit talks to me quite literally. I constantly have amazing dreams of God. When I want to do something I ask His thoughts and He is either direct or cracks a joke. I believe that if you know God you know that He is calm, loving, caring and makes short to the point, simple and profound statements that often come across as humorous.

The humor of God is written in the scripture. Many miss it as so many are always so serious when reading it.

In the book of Jonah, it is the only place i know of where God's humor is mentioned.

Try Genesis

 

[Bill]

Try Genesis

Actually there's quite a few places. So Moses experiences the burning bush. You have to understand that Moses was brought up in the Egyptian teaching, with logic and engineering. So you having a very intelligent person and God wants to get their attention. So God creates a bush that burns but it's not consumed.

Figure that one out LOL

 

[David Koberstein]

The things that Christians like you don't understand is the Jewish culture and the
Jewishness of the Bible.
Moses was a Levite Jew and nothing will ever change that. He could have Woke and
broke knowledge and teaching for all I care, but he was still a Levitical Jew.
Moses was a noticer. That is something Gentile Christians don't know.
Moses notices things. He noticed the burning bush and responded. He also notices a
Hebrew slave being beaten by an Egyptian and responded. During the construction of
the Temple that required meticulous attention to detail and the implementation of the Law,
and Moses followed God's specific instructions precisely.

Shalom
