Gregdcutie: Without trying to sound judgemental isn't the display of these dance steps a testament to the fact that most of our youths are viewing these almost sexually explicit videos (where these dance steps are first introduced) in private? For me I'lld have no problems if the "spirit" dropped the dance step in your heart during Church praise but if after having watched these videos (which I'll insist are nothing but near-pornography) you decide to worship God with such dance steps then I feel that is a problem....... But since we cannot know which dance was spirit inspired or gotten from having viewed these song videos then we'll have to leave judgment for the lord....

I love you sir.u just hit the nail on the head.the youth,after watching those videos which every true blver should not watch,will now use the dance steps in church.someone is saying nothing is wrong with it..

Jennimma: Is it godly to dance worldly steps in church?
Most of the youths in our churches enjoy dancing steps they learn from secular music like "skelewu" and such likes...and most of our pastors say little or nothing about it. I kinda feel its not right.
Should christains copy worldly dance steps? Can't we create our own dance steps?

my dear,such dances will lead dem to hell.desist from such.dis shows u have due spirit of God in you.

thank God for this thread because,I am in a relationship,and blve me,it takes a lot of discipline to avoid premarital sex,especially when it involves somebody you love.the best way to avoid such temptations is TO NEVER MEET WITH YOUR SPOUSE INDOORs.blve me it has been working for me.we always meet outdoors and I also thank God that we are not based in the same city.

torchwave: Then keep seeking till you hear it. It may not come easily, and it may take time to hear it but you must be willing to pay the price of keeping your daily appointment with Him until you begin to dialogue or converse with Him.

Do you know this is my eight month of seeking His voice? So don't be discouraged if you don't hear anything at first or for a long time. God is very happy you're seeking Him and He will reward you in due time if you don't give up.

You can assume any posture that is comfortable with you. You could decide to sit or stand or lie or kneel if it is what works for you. There is no rules and regulations in listening to God. However, I've discovered that sitting seems to be the more acceptable posture. It makes you relax inwardly and outwardly so that you will be able to give your full concentration to the listening process. Standing is also good. In fact, in my opinion, it doubles your concentration and attention to the inward voice of God.

As regards worship music. I should let you know first that the idea of listening to God entails or requires the medium of silence. There are many Scripture verses on the essence of silence before God. Psalm 46:10 says, Be still and know that I am God. It is in that stillness, the silence of your heart and environment that God is able to talk to you.

Music should not be a way of passing time waiting for God to speak. It defeats the purpose of being silent before God.

However, there is a place for worship music in listening prayer. When you use it to achieve stillness before God and it helps you stay your mind on meditation, then by all means incorporate it into your quiet time with God. I have done it once or twice and found it really helpful in maintaining my awareness of God and listening to Him.

In the end do what works for you. That is the most important aspect of your listening prayer - experimenting and choosing the listening aids that work for you.

I have also updated the steps in listening prayer with a very important aspect of listening prayer I omitted. It is about Distractions and how to overcome them in your listening prayer.

Hope it helps. If you have any more questions concerning seeking God, do let me know. We are here to help each other grow in the Christian Faith.

I really don't know how to thank you enough.

torchwave: Yes. That is exactly what it means. You wait in silent expectation of His still small voice.

can I play a worship song with my phone while waiting and what body position is advisable.that is weda to lie or sit down

torchwave: Yes. That is exactly what it means. You wait in silent expectation of His still small voice.

wow..what if the voice does not come.

torchwave: Yes. That is exactly what it means. You wait in silent expectation of His still small voice.

wow..

torchwave: Hello Misreal. I believe the only explanation for your desire to want more of God is the fact that God is the One drawing you closer to Himself (John 6:44).

Friendship with God is the highest calling of the human race; it is the reason we were created.

I shall outline the basic steps to take to begin your quest to know God. However, they are by no means the only steps to closeness with God. They are:


Keep a daily time with God: Have a daily appointment with God that you should endeavour to keep. It could be early morning, noon or night. It depends on which is convenient for you.


Take time to listen for His voice: Specify an amount of time to listen to God. It could be an hour or two, thirty minutes, fifteen minutes, ten minutes, five minutes or even two minutes if it is what you can afford.
Don't try to impress God by trying to keep the amount of time that is uncomfortable to you. Experiment and do what works for you. When you have specified the duration of time to spend in His Presence, do as much as possible to keep it.
If in keeping any amount of time you discover it is uncomfortable or doesn't work for you, please try another one. The keyphrase is what works for you.


Meditate on the Word of God or on God: This is the key that tunes your spiritual ears to hear from God. You could decide to meditate (picture) on the Word or picture Christ beside you as you listen for His still small voice in your heart. This is what you do for the duration of the time you have specified to spend in His Presence listening for His voice. Whichever one you choose, Bible or picture or awareness of Jesus Christ beside you or in you, it achieves the same purpose of making you sensitive to the voice of God.



That is basically where to begin your journey to know God, but it doesn't end there.

You should listen to God all day, everyday. It doesn't start and end in your prayer closet. You do this by being aware of His Presence beside you or in you wherever you are or wherever you go.

Develop the habit of talking to God about anything. Don't try to hide your feelings from Him. He already knows what you feel but He loves it when you tell Him, because when you do He is there listening to you.

Dialogue with God is as simple as ask Him a question and wait for a reply from Him.

God reveals Himself at the appointed time. He may begin talking to you shortly after your journey has begun or it may take a long time (like mine). Whatever time it takes to know Him is the price you pay to know Him, it is the accurate guage of your hunger and desire to dialogue with Him. Don't despair if nothing seems to work for a long time. He will surely talk to you if you don't give up.

I hope this helps you to begin your journey to see the Face of God.

thank you so much.but,what do you mean by listening to God.as in waiting in silence
