Feeling, Faith, Fact. Prov 3:5,6. Pastor Jim Davis

I thought, surely God will break through, at any moment, with the majesty of divinity and bless me abundantly.

I made an appointment with God but He didn't show up.
If He did, He was hiding from me.

I Cor 3:16
I Cor 6:19, 20
I Cor 7:23
Col 1:27
Eph 2:4-6
John 11:41a, 42b
Prov 3:5,6

On Earth, God is in me.
In Heaven, I am in Christ.
That will make you feel something.

The truth was, my prayers didn't need to go anywhere.

All I needed to do was acknowledge His presence within me.

Three went for a walk on a wall,
Feeling, Faith and Fact.
Feeling took a bad fall,
And Faith was taken aback.
Faith walked so close to Feeling
That he fell too.
But Fact remained
And pulled Faith up,
And Faith brought Feeling too.

It was always true, but it only became real to me when I believed it.

It had no effect on me until I learned it in the fires of despair.

If God can't hear you when you pray,
then He's not God.

If God always hears when Jesus prays, and I am in Christ, then He always hears me when I pray.

Can you imagine God saying, like a Chick-Fil-A trainee, "How may I serve you?"

Bad things may happen today, but...
When pain is in the brain,
Peace will reign in the heart.
