Help! God or Jesus?? - Page 2

Whirlwind · 02-07-2008, 03:46 PM

This thread has been helpful - I've always needed help with that.

When I was growing up, my mom always told me that we were never to pray to God directly - because Jesus was our representative. So whenever I prayed, I was afraid to speak directly to God because He is the Boss.

I'd always say things like Jesus, can you ask God to help me with this?

It wasn't until I became a member of this family that I realized that God and Jesus are the same.

God bless all of you for making this a more focused thought in my mind. You're all so wonderful!

One time, shortly after surrendering, I had a thought as I laid in bed meditating. If Jesus is in heaven on the right hand of God, then where is the Holy Spirit? I heard kinda' a "Hummmmm" in my heart that "told" me "Hey, I'm down here!" So I realized that the Holy Spirit was sent to comfort me and He is the one in my heart. I'd always thought it was Jesus in my heart, and in a way He is because they are all 3 one. Like myself the daughter; myself the mother; and myself the wife. All different persons, but the same me.

Now, when I pray, I usually say, "Heavenly Father." But it doesn't bother me anymore because I'm learning to know each one and their workings in my life.

AMEN! I know from what you speak ... Love you sister!

Yes! I agree with you JAX... I didn't attend church for several years at one time because of low self esteem and I would have to go alone which gave me anxiety to the point I couldn't concentrate on the teaching or preaching...
But the Lord in His Mercy towards me worked all those things out...

Beloved James, there are strength in numbers and you have or will be given a gift or gifts to edify the Church, and to be of use to your fellow human being or soul... That is why I believe we should all go ... If one doesn't suit you their is always another around the corner... Ask the Lord for disernment...

Typically the less you go the harder it is to go. If you take the plunge and go two or three times you will began to feel at ease- afterall it is your Father's house.
