Conversations with God- Substance

Substance

God:

How are you today Matthew?

Matthew:

I am good. I had a good sleep. I went to bed late but had a good time till I went to bed. I have done three prophecy requests today. It is always good to hear you speak to people. I like hearing what you have to say. You say such wonderful things to people. You are so full of love.

God:

I am love.

Matthew:

That is so deep. That is amazing. I like how you just said that and nothing else. It makes such an impact. It makes me think of people who attack me on the internet. They don’t move in love, so no matter what their argument is, if it is not coming in love, it is not coming from you.

God:

You are an emotional man Matthew. The enemy knows how to use people against you. You even get really hurt by bad reviews on your books. You are not just a face. You are not just a name. You are not just an opinion. You have feelings and you are a man of substance. I like that about you. You have real emotions and concerns and you care about what people say about you. I like you just the way that you are. It’s a shame that people speaking bad about you or your books hurts you so much, but I wouldn’t swap you for the world.

Matthew:

Thank you. I often think I need to only pay attention to what you think. People tell me I shouldn’t be concerned by negative reviews but no matter what they say to me, I still get affected by what people say. I have a tender heart. I am sadly open to being hurt all the time. Little things hurt me. I am not sure that I would like to change that however. I like being me. Even if I am hurt often by what people say and do I wouldn’t like to be a person that is any different to myself.

I had a woman at toastmasters ask me the other day what was wrong with me. She could see that I wasn’t in a good place. I told her what was wrong. I told her that I could never hide my feelings and I can’t just wear a face or mask. When I am sad, I am sad and I can’t hide it. I am not sure I admire people that can hide their hurt. I guess it helps them to be able to hide it, but I simply can’t hide it.

God:

You are like me Matthew. I like to be real with everyone. I like people to know how I am feeling. That is why I like to be able to speak to people one on one. There are so many false representations of me out there. So many read about me in the Old Testament and feel that is what I am like. They tend to forget that Jesus was an exact representation of me. I am so glad to be able to speak to you and your readers.

People know that I love holiness. But few know that I love to forgive and love people like the father in the prodigal son story. Few people know that I am like the shepherd that leaves the 99 sheep in search for the one that is lost. Few know that I have a heart that yearns for reconciliation.

Yes, people sin. Yes, people have struggles. Yes, people fall short. That is all true. But through my Son I made provision for people to be forgiven. I wish that the world could hear me. I wish that the people who are lost in sin could approach me and know that I love them.

This is why these books are important to the readers. They show that I am not just one dimensional. They show that I am a God that has character. They show that I have substance and that I want my people to be people of substance. I don’t wish to change you because you are a man after my own heart. You have raw emotions and a heart that is easily broken and it is through that heart that I can move of you and motivate you to do things. I admire the way that you can be so open with me, knowing that people are going to read this. I admire your vulnerability and your transparency with me and the readers.

There is so much that I love about you. You are such a great disciple of mine. You are a treasure and an authentic voice to the people of God. I like that you can fall in sin and get back up and speak to me. I like that you try your best to to all you can for me. I like how you reach out to make friends. I like how even though sometimes you are miss understood and people seem to reject you, you still bother to reach out with faith believing that one day a person will be a friend.

Without knowing it, you are a lot like me. Every day I reach out to people through my Son and the Holy Spirit. I do my best to connect with people and let them know how I really feel. I do my best to draw close to people. Sadly, many people reject me and my message. I have many people who say they love me, but their actions say something else. I long for close friends. I long to speak my mind to people that can share my heart with others. I am a God that is not known very well. Many people use my power and my anointing for their own good and to build a name, but few draw close to me to become my close friends. I can relate to you. I am always trying to get friends just like you.

You wouldn’t think that I get lonely for friends. It is so hard to find people like Job that simply want to be my friend and do everything that makes my heart happy. I long for people to love me. I created mankind to know me and love me. I gave them freewill. I guess they choose not to know me. I know that many of the people don’t know how to draw near to me. I know many of them can’t hear me speaking. I know many of them have wrong ideas about me. But, still there are so many that could draw close but choose not to. I guess that the world holds much more of an attraction to them. They can’t see me, they can’t embrace me, so they choose to share their affections with things that they can see and touch.

Matthew:

I am overcome with emotions. I think it would be the last thought of the church that you might be upset and wanting more friends. It my understanding that many people would assume that they know you and that they love you. I guess it comes as a surprise to me to learn that you want more friends.

I know that not a lot of Christians can hear you. I know a lot of Christians know what Jesus taught us to do. I know a lot pf people are in love with the world, but I never knew that you felt this way. It must be sad to be the creator of the world and not have your creation loving you for who you are.

It is my prayer that the people who read this, decide in their hearts that they are going to do all that they can to become a close friend of yours. I pray that they surrender their lives to you and do everything that is needed to draw close to you.

I pray also that the Christian church would come to know that you want real friends in this life. I pray that there is an awakening to this truth so that people would make the effort to get to know you.

I know that most of my life I only was friends with Jesus. I had a bad experience with my dad and I had a wrong view of you. I am so happy that you asked me to write these books. I am starting to get to know you well through them.

God:

I have some friends that are dear to me in the world. It is not like I don’t have any close friends. I don’t want to give that impression. But I am not like you. I have the capacity to have a deep relationship with every one of my creation.

Its like I am father and my children are in a foreign land with no thought of me. I want to know them all. I want them all to know me. I want to speak to them all. I want to comfort them all. I want to have fellowship with them all. I don’t just want them to pray to me, I want to have a heart to heart conversation with them. I want to really connect with them. I want to open up my life to them and walk hand in hand with them as they live their lives.

The problem with the church is that they think that going to church, reading their Bibles and praying is everything, yet a relationship with me is far much more than that. I want to walk with my people like I walked with Jesus. I want to to walk with people like I walked with Moses or Paul. I want to be everything to them. I don’t want to be simply a part of their life, I want to be their life.

I guess, it is easy to talk to you because you get me. I know that you also are lonely for friends that get the Kingdom and know how to live a set apart life of holiness. We are both lovers, we are both intense, we are both emotional and we both want the world to come to know Jesus for who he is. I love you so much Matthew. I love you so dearly. Just like Enoch!

I wish that you could come to heaven right now and live up here. I would love to end your life and have you all to myself, but you have a purpose on earth. There are so many people I need you to speak to down there. There is so much I have to say. I need a voice on the earth. I need you to be there, but oh I wish I could bring you home. You have a whole lot of admirers here in heaven. You should come and visit us more often.

Matthew:

Now you have me crying. I wish I could come home. Life here is hard for me. I love how you compare me to Enoch. I know that your heart got heart sick for him and brought him home early. It is my prayer that you would be continue to be glorified through my life.

I will write anything you lead me to write. I promise. I will do what you say. Even if the book is hard to do and there will be rejection for it, I promise I will do what you want me to do. Let me be your voice on earth. I promise to put you first in all that I do.

Thank you for today. You have left me very emotional.

God:

The subject was about substance. We didn’t talk much about it, but this message itself had real substance didn’t it? Have a good day. Enjoy yourself when you go out shopping.
