I can recall when the Lord was pulling me towards himself and not understanding this strange presence. I'd occassionally go to church and as soon as I stepped inside I would immediately begin to cry. Jesus was already moving in my heart to receive."No one comes to the Father except by me" No one, no human could have convinced me that I needed to "accept" Christ because Christ had already accepted me and came to me and the work was already complete. Now what would have helped me a great deal is if someone in the church had shown me how to acknowledge that presence in me

That is a beautiful example of the working of the Holy Spirit.

I appreciate the one on one call because it gives time for the tears and the repentance and the joy to be appreciated, and understood rather than heres a tract , see you next week

I had been saved many years when one day I was overcome with the presence of God during a service in a church I was visiting. I was searching for a home church at that time. I was a stranger there, so I sat in the rear of the church weeping at the love and tenderness of God to one like me.

The Pastor came up after the service to meet me. At that moment I needed someone to talk and pray with , to help me understand what it was God was teaching me about Himself. I asked the very kind Pastor if he had a few moments..He told me he was sorry that he was "busy".

I found another home church

good afternoon RnMomof7! Thanks for the ping over here. It's refreshing to talk about the things of the Lord and not get bashed. This thread must be cut off from the rest of the FR world. :)
