Near God


‘’I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for, I, the Lord Your God, am with you wherever you go.’’ Joshua 1-9.
One of the most encouraging promises from Our God has written above. He reminds us that, he will be with us wherever we go. What it really means? It means that, a human being can always sense the presence of God, the creator, all through his life on earth. Many of us may doubt it’s possibility. I say it is possible out of my experience. I do say that, the distance between God and you is decided by you.

Here arise the question that, How can a person sense the presence of God with him?

The answer is as simple as taking a breath. If you want to sense the presence of God ,you need to stand closer to God. As we stand near to a burning fire we can sense the hot temperature. If we stand so close to the snow, we experience the chillness and get freeze. This is exactly what happens with Human being and his creator. So be close to God and realize how closer God stand to you.

What it means to be close to God?

In fact being closer to God is to love God from your heart. How can we assess the degree of our love to God? I assume, human being mostly think what they really like and prefer. If it is in the case of a person, they mostly think of an individual whom they love most or hate. If your thoughts are generally connected to God in a good sense, that itself proves that you love your God.

Once you start to love a person, one way or in other way you try to express it out. What is the most common phenomenon of the expression of love? That is ‘’ spending long time together ‘’ in sharing, consoling, encouraging, cracking jock and so on. How long they spend time together that much they become closer each other and build an emotional bond. There they start to understand each other very vividly. There is no need of further explanation on any issue. They start to sense the emotions and feelings of other heart like own heart. So they don’t feel that his companion is another person. As a result he starts to love his companion as himself. This is what exactly Jesus asked us to do.

As we start to spend time with God in prayer silently, there begins shortening of the distance between you and your God. Whoever practice a constant conversation with God will find an intimate personal bond with God and the Lord become the greatest companion in his life. As time passes the human being begins to experience the presence of God through his five senses on his own body. This is commonly attributed as mystical experiences. So many think, that mystical experiences are reserved for the canonized personals (saints and prophets).This is not so. It is common in the lives of genuine, prayer full, ardent Christ lovers. Even in this 2012 it is happening. It is as true as you are alive now.

If you have doubt, you test it, you please love God sincerely, and spend long time in prayer and then you will see the wonderful changes in your behavior, attitudes and emotions. In the next stage your body will sense various experiences. That is amazing. Even if you are not praying or not in the stage of thinking of God, still God give you his experiences on that stage too. Through these experiences He reminds you to think of him or say a hai to him. Mostly it happens when we are in our job or on duty. That means that God is with us where ever we go and he understand us. Many of a time I had God experiences when I took bath.
Your friend cannot come with you to bathroom or toilet but God can. He will be with you wherever you go….That is why God said I will be with you where ever you Go’’’’

……….Yes our Lord is living God…

So HE is your friend…What a friend in Jesus and Holy Spirit ,and the father,, I have…………..

Oh God Don’t ever go away from m e…..I know I am unworthy .Lord It hank you and I adore you for being with me always ….ur jeril .Amen…
