At what age did you first feel the nearness of God?
I received Yeshua when I was 8yrs old.
Even though ive been born to born again parents, the reality of the nearness of God is a recent whole new revelation for me at 28 and it is overwhelming every other fear, worry and anxiety ….im still diving deep everyday into the nearness of God
I was 14- and recently diagnosed with a kidney disease. My family laid hands on me to pray for healing and the most powerful presence touched my heart so deeply- a love and peace marked me and a presence of peace remained on me from that moment forward. And he healed me :)
Sense is a better term for me, and it was when I was 9 years old at the altar in a pentecostal church in Los Angeles. Feelings have always been a struggle for me in my walk with God, but that was 60 years ago and He has never left me, not once.
I remember always talking to the Lord, even before my memories of going to church. I’m glad as I get older I appreciate the voice of God and the power of the Holy Spirt. Jesus means everything to me. Even when I have fallen short.
Thank you for this interview, Rita. Part of my story is that I do not remember a time when I did not know God loves me personally. In my life I have pursued Him, wandered, walked away, been “hauled back” (by His insatiable mercy). From my earliest days till now, His love has been my anchor.
When she said “He created us to worship Him” I just lost it. I wish I could share my testimony with you both. How much you both have been a voice in the wilderness!
Please Holy Spirit show them. Bless them Lord. Cover them in Your presence and wrap them in love and protection. Thank you for the gifts You give so freely!
Hilary- God sets the lonely in families. ❤
Felt Him through others when I was young, especially watching my minister of a grandfather.
When I grew up and became the prodigal, I allowed myself to walk by faith and THAT is when I felt Him in the lonely. ❤
I saw the Christmas show at Gaylord hotel it was a dinner show. You had on a pink shiny dress. Your mom and dad were in the show too. It was wonderful.
Just saw Unsung Hero’s this weekend and cried the whole time. Such a powerful movie
I love Hillary Scott's song "You Can Rest" - I've played it over and over during this weary season I'm in. So tired and that song I've played at night so many times.
Very young- in turmoil for sure. I would wake up with such peace. I know my grandparents were praying. It is why I have prayed over kids. It will one day be their choice but today, I can battle over them.
Oh my goodness! That salvation story is so similar to mine! I was a few months from turning 5.
That’s a great question. It caused me to really ponder and reflect. I don’t have a memory where God has not been apart of it. I feel I’ve always had an awareness of His nearness… however, understanding of the purity and sacredness of His presence has become so much more tangible throughout years of adversities, devastations, and wilderness season. Witnessing Him show up and just rest in the midst of my most traumatic moments have not only comforted but strengthened and sustained me.
I was adopted and an only child I believe that this loneliness was for what was to come. For me nothing is wasted with Christ.
That was beautifully said. ❤
Unfortunately I think we put on a facade because sometimes it's just so hard to be truly honest all the time... And with God we do have to come to a place that we just know that he knows and he knows us! We desire to be really "known", because it takes so long to build a strong relationship with another person and it can get tiring. So, that's my reason for not always being transparent. I love love love your honesty and true selves...it does release intimacy. Thank you 😊
Honestly I don’t know if I’ve ever felt it. This is a complicated question because what exactly is it am I suppose to “feel” because it isn’t a feeling (as in the touch). I’ve NEVER really had an experience that I can turn to and say “I KNOW that was God”. It’s something that has bothered me my entire life, even since childhood. I’ve done everything I know to do. I’ve begged Him. I really have, not given up, but just don’t expect that anymore because it’s a horrible feeling.
I feel Him in a church setting and with other believers but alone…that’s exactly how I feel, alone.
I love Nina Simone’s version of Gilead, check it out 😊
Not a Grammy on the microwave! 😂😂😂😂
