When do I have time to spend with the Lord?

Son, how are you today?

Let's see here. I've got to pay my phone bill, call my mom on her birthday, get my car fixed, make sure the kids' dentist appointments are scheduled. How am I supposed to do all of these things? I'm supposed to get the church membership class set up and.....

Son, are you ok today? Tell me what is bothering you...

I am so tired of dealing with this crap.... I have no idea how to get all this stuff done. What if I simply just gave up.... Would that be a good thing? Maybe it was a mistake to move out of our house into this bigger home.... If I present all this stuff to the Lord, He won't even care one bit about this stuff. Why do I even bother with church membership? It's not as though we're even affilliated with this church anymore. I can't remember the last time we went to church and it felt like it was enjoyable. It always feels like a chore. Noone understands this. If I told people at church this they would not respect me or listen to me.

If never used to be this way. Why does it feel like the name of Jesus is so foreign to me? I don't even have a relationship with my family anymore. How am I supposed to have a relationship with someone who doesn't even know the things I go through? He's not even here. I can't see God so sometimes I think maybe He's just not real... Stop thinking this! I could never tell anyone this. What would the church think? they would probably excommunicate me for this.

What is wrong with me? Why am I thinking these thoughts? Perhaps if I read my bible. Maybe I should pray more. I dont' ever feel like prayer accomplishes anything.... I mean, come on! I have never seen the Lord answer one of my prayers. It's as if He has better things to do than listen to me.....

Son, do you feel you have the wisdom to handle the responsibility with the things I do? Allow me to reason with you by speaking to me your thoughts. I have never been distant from you. It only seems like this when you have so much on your plate. Some of the things that you have been allowing yourself to believe about Me are truths, but some of the things that you have been led to believe about me simply are not true at all. Who told you I was distant? You did not believe this when you were a younger person. When you began to believe the things that looked and seemed to be true, it put such a strain on your human spirit.

Son, look you have to remember that Jesus lived as a human being. Yes, Jesus was and is and always will be the reason you have eternal life, but when do you want this life to begin?

Father, what the heck? Does this mean I can have eternal life right now?

Son (laughing), of course it does! You have to remember, you have felt resentment towards other people. Resentment towards those who were put in positions that you thought you should have was one of the things I never gave to you. Son, as you sit with me and simply allow your senses to calm down; you become better able to know that I am supportive of many things you have accomplished. However, some of the things that you have accomplished haven't been without frustration. You were not meant to carry this frustration. It is a burden that weighs you down (spiritually). The scriptures teach "My yolk is easy and My burden is light." Do you want to shoulder a burden that did not come from Me? Son, many Christians have made a lifestyle out of putting burdens on their shoulders that have nothing to do with having eternal life. You should know this, son. The scriptures are inside of you. I have respected your desire to have free will and I have allowed you to shoulder some things that were not meant for you. Does this make sense? Allow Me to hear what I have spoken to you by repeating back to me what I have said to you. This will allow Me to reason with you whether the things you have heard have made sense to you.

The scriptures teach that "He who listens to Me is wise indeed." Are you realizing that as you listen to Me (Jehovah; that is My name) explain things to you from an eternal perspective, it brings you closer to Me? The scriptures teach "Draw close to Me and I will will draw close to you." Son, who do you think wrote the scriptures? I have watched you quote scriptures until your are blue in the face. Stop looking at your life from a temporary existance and begin to look at it from My existance. You have been trained to know Me, but do you really think you can do My job for me?

Father, um; no, I don't think I can do your job for you.

Then stop acting like you have been given so much insight to Me but when noone is looking, you choose to act like you are the head of your household. Son, you need to know that this is what I have been trying to say to you. Many Christians think they have so much to do but come on! Who in the heck told them that busy-ness is next to Godliness? Does this feel like church to you? I am having a wonderful time with you, Son!

Father, I don't know if I can handle doing the things that I have to do. Noone helps me. You're never there when I need you. As a matter of fact, when was the last time you talked with me about something that I needed help with?

Son, do you know how badly I have wanted to tell you these things? You have spent so much time exercising your mind and body but the spiritual exercise we are doing is causing you to rest. The scriptures teach "in the presence of the Lord there is rest." Rest in the physical sense is what Christians spend more time driving themselves crazy trying to find ways to rest. That is why everything you have heard has not fallen on deaf ears. Yes, satan comes with busy-ness to steal the words that your human spirit has communicated to your senses. You have been brought up to believe that respect is what you need to feel. Feelings are good, but when you are able to think through the things I have spoken to you; it creates the opportunity for respect to come into to you and let you know that you're doing what you have been created to do. Trust me when I say this. I know that many of these things do not make sense right now but recently some experiences that you have been through have kept you from becoming the person I have called you to be. Allow Me to reveal wisdom and respect the same way you have allowed Me to reveal Myself to you in other ways. You could have purchased things that would have given you temporary enjoyment but these things would not fulfill you in the way My words do. The peace you feel in your heart is causing respect to come in and tell you that the dreams you have always wanted to happen and waited for are only dreams. Let me show Myself to you and this will bring forth dreams have never been revealed to you. Allowing Me to reveal Myself to the people in your life you ask Me to help has put them into a position to reveal Myself them to them. Thi is what you have wanted to have happen for how long? Eternal life comes in when you drink from the fountain that produces life by reproducing life that has already been given a place in the heavenly realm..... That is all for now. I am the Lord and that is My name....

Existing with our His existance is what most Christians want...

We are temporary human to be able to recognize what Jesus went through (as a human) what it means to be with Him as a spirit-filled being who is able to recognize all that the Jesus went through. Looking through human eyes we become more able to walk as Jesus walked and to see things from the eyes of His perception. This often promotes our existence to a higher plane so that we are then able to live above what Jesus was able to live above; which is often what most people cannot even live beneath--> their own existence and the foolishness of it without Him leading the way
