Awhile back God taught me something that completely revolutionized my entire approach to life and how I saw God.

God taught me that he was always saying: Yes!

I was always taught that God was either saying: "No", "Yes" or "Wait"! - but God revealed to me that he was saying Yes in my life constantly - Yes to his plan for me that he has been trying to communicate to me. He was trying to get it through to me - He wasn't saying No! He wasn't saying: "Wait"! He was trying to get me to finally tune in and stop slowing down the process of him saying yes to his divine plan for me. He has been trying to get me to quit holding up and delaying the whole process.

When I spend time with him he speaks to me and from my innermost being desires well up within me and those deep and profound desires are from God!!! He wants me to press into his will and his power and my gifting and rise up and challenge those obstacles in the power of God and overcome every challenge and take hold of the promises that I know he has spoken to my heart!

We need to live in "The Now" And right now he has instruction and direction and vision for us - and those things he is ministering to us are all things that we can begin walking in right now!

HE IS SAYING YES! HE IS SAYING: "COME ON!"
He is saying: "DON'T BE AFRAID!" - Anything is possible for I am with you and for you! ...and your plan and purpose is unfolding and adjusting and the changes and course corrections are simply my unveiling of the more clear direction and not a failure on your part or a refusal on my part to answer your hearts cry!

God is saying yes to your hearts cry - do you have faith to follow him wherever he leads you on your path to victory???

Rejoice and take heart - God is saying: "YES!"

2 Corinthians 1:19-21

"...For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes." For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,.."

religious organisations/beliefs are at thier strongest in societies with the least education and highest poverty...coinciding with the individual freedom from greater wealth and education, most of the churches on modern Europe went out of buisness in the 60's.. the educated,critical and free thinking mind examines information for truth and accuracy... the tougher and more painful and fearful ones life becomes ,the greater the need to find an escape from suffering .. mythology in many forms can provide this... the promise of "heaven" after death is escapism at its best...for the mystic, heaven is here and now ..but mystics need a carefully controlled environment free from distraction in order to realise thier goal..therefore are now VERY rare... one of the reasons that Jesus was not taken seriously by his own people is that in his day Mystics were common..and political dissenters suffered the same fate as they do today... speaking the truth to power is a very dangerous game.

Well, not that intelligence tests necessarily mean all that much but your snobbery is quite off putting charlie990. I believe in God and my so called "intelligence" is well within the 99th percentile. That doesn't make my personal faith a proven fact to everyone else - but your snobbery and condescension does not prove one syllable that you wrote either.

And get your facts straight bud... ...Jesus was taken seriously by his own people - just some religious snobs hated him enough to kill him. Thousands followed him from town to town by foot - just to listen to him speak - and to be in his presence. You might want to get your facts straight before you comment on things you do not understand.

learningasigo,
Remember that those who express the ideas which are written by charlie, are not filled with the Holy Ghost and unable therefore to understand. That in mind, you were way too harsh and not pleasing to Yahua (GOD) in how you spoke to her. I beleive, that from the way you spoke, about faith,you do know Yahua (GOD) well enough to know better. I'm going to assume you spent not enough time in prayer when you wrote to charlie, and that is not your normal attitude. I will pray for you. Please remember where Yahua (GOD) brought you from.
Take care,
Lisa

Maybe so Lisa, I really don't know. One thing I do know is that hearing people mock Jesus gets old fast! Another thing I know is that Jesus himself seriously confronted people when they slandered the truth. There is no indication in the Bible that Jesus was committed to being "nice". - but every indication that he existed in a constant commitment to being real!

I was not being "nice" when I replied to the poster that was mocking Jesus - but whether or not I was being Christ-like is another question. Many folks mistake being "nice" for being Christ-like. You could be a very "nice" person and still fall far short of inheriting salvation and on the other hand you could be a little on the stern side and be a truly Spirit filled and directed believer. Nice is not the standard. Love is the standard we are called to - and being truly filled with the character of Christ - and being syrupy sweet - may not be the same thing.

All that said, I don't want to be pigheaded and not listen to input - thank you for the input. I'll think about what you said!

BTW - are you a Messianic Jew? - I noticed you use the term: "Yahua" which is another form of the name Yashua. Which is the Hebrew for Jesus or Joshua - and means Salvation. But, this word also has a double meaning because it is also a possible pronounciation of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (YHWH) (among other reason's as well.)

Just another cool clue and hint that the Holy Spirit left to help point to Christ as God in the flesh!

For the benefit of any other readers here's a short blurb from Wikipedia on the subject...

"The name יֵוֹשֻׁשׁוּעַ "Yeshua" (transliterated in the English Old Testament as Jeshua) is a late form of the Biblical Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ Yehoshua (Joshua), and spelled with a waw in the second syllable. The Late Biblical Hebrew spellings for earlier names often contracted the theophoric element Yeho- to Yo-. Thus יהוחנן Yehochanan contracted to יוחנן Yochanan.[6] However, there is no name (aside from Yehoshua`) in which Yeho- became Ye-.
The name Yehoshua has the form of a compound of "Yeho-" and "shua": Yeho- יְהוֹ is another form of יָהו Yahu, a theophoric element standing for the personal name of God YHWH, and שׁוּוֹשֻׁעַ shua‘ is a noun meaning "a cry for help", "a saving cry",[7][8][9] that is to say, a shout given when in need of rescue. Together, the name would then literally mean, "God is a saving-cry," that is to say, shout to God when in need of help.
Another explanation for the name Yehoshua is that it comes from the root ישע yod-shin-‘ayin, meaning "to deliver, save, or rescue". According to the Book of Numbers verse 13:16, the name of Joshua son of Nun was originally Hoshea` הוֹשֵעַ, and the name "Yehoshua`" יְהוֹשֻׁעַ is usually spelled the same but with a yod added at the beginning. "Hoshea`" certainly comes from the root ישע, "yasha", yod-shin-`ayin (in the hif`il form the yod becomes a waw), and not from the word שוע shua` (Jewish Encyclopedia[10]) although ultimately both roots appear to be related."

I believe that God wants to give us the desires of our hearts, as long as they are in line with His will. I spent a lot of time in my past wishing for things that I don't think God wanted for me. Today I've matured enough to only want what He wants for me. The other road is too painful.

PREFACE: Not here to argue the merits of religion or Christ's teachings. But, I will share my personal understanding.

I think I understand what the OP is trying to communicate. For most of my life, I had a very religious view of God stemming from a lifetime of religious teaching in church and Sunday school. God was the judge and I was the obedient subject.

Shortly after the birth of my son, God was faithful to walk with me through an unwanted separation and show me His heart. Demonstrate His goodness, kindness, faithfulness, patience, mercy, grace and unconditional LOVE. (Won't go into all of the details. In a nutshell, after years of wrestling with God, He asked me to trust Him, and I did. After 10 years of marriage, it ended in divorce.)

So, I moved from religion, which had misrepresented God, to a relationship with Him. He took me to a place [desert experience] where He could "fix" my understanding of Him. He proved Himself to me.

Now, my love for Him, because of His love for me, fills me up and bubbles over to the point where I can't help but share it with others. The desire of my heart is now driven by this Love within me. I want others to know it, to experience it, to enjoy it and hopefully, ultimately, to be transformed by it. (Let me clarify. I am not refering to "getting people saved" here.)

This verse describes it best: 2 Corin. 2:14 "But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,"

So, I would agree God is always saying, "Yes," now that my greatest desire and motivation is to share LOVE with others. My confidence comes from the knowledge that His love for me is unconditional, undeserved, can't be lost or earned by anything I do or don't do. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ."

For me, since I have experienced the awesome empowerment, Joy and freedom that comes with His Love, I quickly recognize when I've moved in a direction or taken on a project where those things (empowerment and Joy) are missing, and I'm quick to adjust myself to get back on task with Him.

But, I agree with the OP, He doesn't say, "no" or "wait" anymore. Although, sometimes He does say, "Are you really sure you want to do that?"

He is so, so good all the time!

I can certainly resonate with what you've said above, WY, about recognizing when one needs to get back on task with God, when that sense of "joy and empowerment" is missing. You're right in saying that God's love ought to be something we're always in touch with. Personally, I've learned to recognize resentment as a major warning signal that my relationship with God is off-track and I need to turn myself around and fix it. That sense of joy isn't supposed to leave us (meaning joy, not necessarily happiness, here - I see them as separate although often overlapping).
