And believe me.....when someone wants it...it shows. I've been there. and when I was lost...I cried out and begged and Prayed that God would intervene. Thats when He will step in...Not a minute sooner.
God Bless.[/color]
WRONG-
just cause that was your experience does not mean it is fact. wanting it doesn't mean it will show. how many people out there want it and don't show it. how many people out there want it deep inside and don't even real8ize they want and need it. that is what discernment is for- seeing what is NOT SHOWN. Jesus percieved men's hearts, our Father looks on our hearts.
even us as christians walking the walk want things and need things we never show that we need but we receive because we really want it.
YES God will give to those who TRULY want it, but REALLY WANTING something doesn't equal showing it.
and further more how many people "SHOW" it and don't really mean it or slip right back into whatever they came out of. appearances and actions are a lot less weighty than we think.-ie. "why do cyou call me "LORD LORD" but do not do what i say".
he may or may not really want God right now for himself- the deciding factor is NOT however, wheter he "shows" it on a myspace acount or dvd or at all
and to be clear ER i agree with everything you said except that one point
i do also agree we should stand in prayer and dicernment for him, praying the will of God is spiritual warfare and if God can speak to him and break through the spiritual shackles and walls put in place by the enemy's camp in the spirit- then God who is almighty Can Change- pursuade- WHETHER HE WANTS IT OR NOT- GOD CAN MINISTER TO HIS HEART SOOOO OUR PRAYERS DO COUNT AND CAN BE EFFECTIVE, WE CAN'T JUST SIT HERE AND THINK SINCE HE MAY NOT WANT IT, WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT PRAY CAUSE IT WON'T DO ANYGOOD....
I AM DONE
i wasn't yelling just kept the caps on by accident
remember:
the biggest catalyst for change is LOVE
