CAN I REALLY TALK TO GOD, HIMSELF?
Yes, you CAN I REALLY TALK TO GOD HIMSELF? God eagerly waits for you to talk to HIM. I believe by asking that question, GOD is speaking to you, asking you to come and speak to HIM!
I have been told, I would pray, but I don’t know what to say. My answer to that is, remember GOD made you and knows your every thought. So whatever is on your heart you can tell him. Share your thoughts, your successes, failures, discuss your hopes and dreams, your concerns and your disappointments. Share your life and your deepest secrets. HE will never tell a soul. He will become your closest friend!
IF I CAN TALK TO GOD, HIMSELF, HOW DO I TALK TO HIM?
You are not alone on this question. Many say I would talk to GOD, but I don’t know-how. Talking to GOD is easy. Talk to him the way you would a close personal friend, you trust and respect. This is how GOD sees you. A friend HE loves and respects. He has been waiting patiently for you to come and talk to HIM. The disciples in the bible came to JESUS and said in Luke 11:1 “LORD teach us to pray. JESUS taught them the LORD’S prayer in Matthew 6:10-13. This is the most famous prayer of all time. It is an excellent prayer to pray. As with all prayer, it should be prayed from the heart.
I think we are all familiar with people who can pray these beautiful prayers in church, on the radio, or TV and say the blessing for the food! Some of us were blessed with that ability. I was not! Praying in public or before a group, I really struggle with that. The prayers we are discussing are private personal prayer. In Matthew 6:6-8 JESUS tells us how to have these private personal prayer times with HIM.
MATTHEW CHAPTER 6:6-8
6. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut the door, pray to your FATHER who is in the secret place: and your FATHER who sees in the secret will reward you openly.
7. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8. Therefore do not be like them. For your, FATHER knows the things you have need of before you ask.
IF I CAN TALK TO GOD, HIMSELF, HOW DOES JESUS TEACH US TO TALK TO HIM?
MATTHEW 7:7-8
7. Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Always remember to ASK ( ask, seek and knock) Maybe you don’t have, because you didn’t ASK. JESUS is waiting to talk to. TALK TO HIM!!!!!
