Ahh Hello...God, are you there?

Hello Love,

I totally get it. I too know what it feels like. A whirlwind of problems circling all around me and leaving me to wonder, "God are you there?"

When you truly belong to him, during the most difficult times of your life, God is closer to you than you may think. We've gotten into this bad habit of basing our circumstances, outcomes, and victories on what we feel.

It is not about what we feel but rather what we know.

Lean not on your understanding...Pro.3:5
There is a way that seems right but it leads to death...Pro.14:12
Whoever trust in his own mind is a fool...Pro.28:26
The heart is deceitful above all things...Jer.17:9

Why is it so important to not make choices based on feelings/emotions? Because-Satan can give us false feelings/emotions. Ahhh, he is the deceiver! How many times have you made a decision based off of your feelings to only find out that probably wasn't the right decision to make? No more emotional moving. We have to stand on the WORD. While Satan can deceive he cannot change the Word of God which is in fact God!
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.-Matthew 24:35
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. -John 1:1

Believing in God is all summed up to one thing...Faith.  It is impossible to know God without Faith. Some may have called you foolish to believe in a spirit that no one can see. To believe in an eternal life that no one can prove. To live by rules from a book that has been tampered with by men throughout the years.

Roms.1:20 NLT:For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

The reality is, we don't care!
We know God and he knows us. People can believe whatever they choose to believe because WE know the Truth.
Why don't we take that same approach when we are faced with trials and tribulations? Why don't we turn to the Word? Why do we allow feelings/emotions to take control every time?

FACT: God LOVES you! This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:10

When you are faced with hurts, pains, stress, tiredness, worry, sadness, doubts, etc. all these things that we have already faced or will face (most likely more than once), try to remember that with any crack the enemy can and will sneak in. When dealing with uncomfortable times, you have to refer to the one thing that does not change; the Word of God. I use to be one that could spend all day and night just crying, crying, and crying. What did that do besides make me feel worse? Crying never changed my situations or circumstances. If you must cry- then cry but afterwards, GET IN THE WORD. By this point, the enemy has already whispered in your ear... the no body loves you speech, you won't ever make it, you don't have what you need, you're a sinner, you can not be healed, God can not protect you, you are not good enough, you don't have enough money...yadda yadda yadda. It is in those moments that you can choose to make the biggest decision you will ever make. You can choose to listen to Satan and spend the next few hours, days, months, or possibly years living sad, and defeated as if God has abandoned you. Or, in that moment you can rebuke your feelings, rebuke your emotions, and say out loud to Satan: "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. And, it was God who said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So, get thee behind me Satan! For you have no authority over me! In fact, I have authority over you! You cannot harm me so take your lies and flee in the name of Jesus Christ! YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE! Get lost! Go prepare for your future resting place; the lake of fire! Greater is HE that is within me than you who are in the world! Now, Be GONE Sucker!
(Matthew 4:4, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 16:23, John 19:11, Luke 10:19, James 4:7, Rev. 20:10, 1 John 4:4, Baya 101)

You do not need to feel him to know that he is with you. Who was the one who got you out of trouble, last time? Who was the one who saved you from devastation, last time? Who was the one that answered your prayers, last time? Who was the one who did not turn their back on you, last time? Who was the one who stood by you until the very end, last time? Who was the one that gave you peace in the midst of heartache, last time? Who was the one that provided finances to pay the bills, last time? Who was the one that made a way when there was no way at all, last time? Who was the one who got you through the darkest days of your life, last time?

One last question for you:
Who is the one is able, and willing to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy? (Jude: 1:24)

God is with you! Though it may not feel like it, you must rely on what you KNOW, which is...But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Job 20:10

Praise God! HE HAS NEVER LEFT YOU and he NEVER WILL.
THIS IS NOT BASED OFF OF A FEELING BUT THIS IS A FACT JACK!

Baya...that Godly Diva
