In Need Of A Sign
Father in heaven, thank You for being my deliverer. Thank You for making me righteous through the blood of Jesus. I trust that You have a good plan for me, and You will deliver me out of all affliction in Jesus’ name! Amen. Send me a sign of Your gracious hand upon me Lord. I am in need of YOU.

RE: In Need Of A Sign
How is your relationship with GOD? What kind of signs are you looking for? The bible states that the greatest of faith according to Christ are those who see not, but still believe. But he also said: "Seek and ye shall find." So, if you're looking for GOD and ask for a sign that your search is acknowledged, or you have some serious personal matter that needs to be resolved, I'd say definitely yes, ask away, repeatedly. But are you ready to believe that sign when it's given is the better question. Often no sign is a sign that you need to think for yourself, and rely on the knowledge you already have. Just remember, GOD isn't a genie, bound to do anyone's beckoning, it's quite the opposite. We are to be at HIS beck, HIS call, to do HIS will, not ours, because only HE knows what's truly right or wrong. Maybe instead of us receiving a sign from him in times of need, it is we who need to do the showing. Signs tempt God and that's not a good thing to do. Signs preclude faith and Christianity is a faith walk. To ask for a sign shows lack of faith in God unless He is asking you to carry that jawbone toward that 1000 men, (of course if you heard God telling you take that jawbone you've better do it lol) but just to pay the rent.. forget it and especially forget it if the sign is to increase your faith, you'll be just as more likely to feel so left out in the cold for a uncertain span of time :0) God wouldn't even help my old cat die peacefully, instead the cat had a seizure on Saturday night! boy was I mad at God for ruining Sunday. :0) I might suggest that you ask God to put His love inside your heart, when He does it won't be a sign but it will truly be a blessing and its a faith booster the next time you feel you need a sign. Be blessed.

RE: In Need Of A Sign
This is just my opionion, the problems with some of the believers is they are always asking God to come to them when we should be the one to go to the Father. We are to submit and surrender ALL and not asking for signs. As for Post #4, yes, signs were asked because Jesus did not die for them yet. We are in the new testament and what Jesus did on the cross for us is more than a SIGN. Post #3 is making statements of relationships with your Father through his son. So, in other words, what you are trying to convey is what Jesus did on the cross is not good enough.

That doesn't make any sense cause if you're asking God to come to you, then you are going to the Father.
"So, in other words, what you are trying to convey is what Jesus did on the cross is not good enough."
Im not saying that what jesus did on the cross isn't good enough, what Im stating is that you can ask God for anything, because that's what He expects from us. In Isaiah 43:26, God says "Put me in remembrance; let us argue together; set forth your case, that you may be proved right." God even wants us to remind Him of His promises. When God asked me to seek Him, I asked Him for a sign of proof that it was Him who was doing the asking, and He answered me. That's why I seek Him and made Him part of my life. Just because we're in the new testament, it doesn't mean that What God said in the old testament has changed. Jesus didnt come and changed the law,instead he reminded us of two; Love thy Father with all your heart and love thy neighbor as thyself.
