I often heard people talk about dry spells with Jesus, but that has never happened with me.Very few people I know want to talk about God either. But I still plant a seed here and there without them realizing it!
The Christian walk can be lonely if we don't have fellowship. We know we are not alone because God promised to never leave us,
but He also provides Christian fellowship for us to share burdens and joys with. If there is someone I'm having difficulties with,
I try to remind myself that I may very well be spending eternity with that person so I better learn to get along!
I live in a very isolated area and it is hard to get to fellowship, which is why I turned to this forum awhile back. It has been very
encouraging and uplifting, even when I disagree with some of the things people believe.
Your testimony about how you came to Christ reminds me of my own process. And it was a process...not just a single-moment assurance realization that I am saved. Learning to walk with Him is my greatest joy and He teaches me so much through His Word. I do experience dry-spells (kinda like when trees go to sleep during winter); but I think that is normal for most Christians...at least that is what I've heard from other Christians, so I don't worry about it. He always brings me through to the spring again!
After Jesus told me not to read about him, and that he would teach me, he has never not been with me.
The Holy Spirit/Jesus has guided me for almost the last forty years of my life.
Many people say to me that they don’t hear the Holy Spirit/Jesus talk to them. Most of those people don’t even believe God does talk to his people.
I tell those who want Jesus to talk to them, but he hasn’t that it most likely because God knows they are not willing to truly live all of God’s commandments.
I believe people need to live God’s Word. And having possessions, trusting in the Government’s army, and its police force, having savings accounts, investing money in the stock market, and all the other ways to trust the world instead of God is not going to bring one to know God.
