I love this verse...I don't read Revelations...but saw this somewhere.
...if any hear my voice and open the door, I will come into their house and eat with them, and they will eat with me ... 3:20
Any other verses you know of saying God wants a personal relationship with us?
Hannibal?
I know of, 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know'.
Jer 33:3
While typing that, I found it interesting and note worthy He didn't stop at "great things'...saying, 'AND' .
I think it's big for God, ha, to add ....unsearchable.
Oh, many of the usual negative posts of all the times you have asked or called to God
and nothing happened may be posted...the usual blame will go to God and how
He doesn't exist and is like Santa Claus, ok, old news.
If you, as a believer in God, have called or asked or knocked ...where do you think you, yourself, might have gone wrong...what could you be not doing correctly:
Because you have seen others get answered...whassup with that?
People like to blame God, I see...what could you do differently, then,
to have God 'come', as it says, visit you, answer you?
Thanks- discuss.

You shouldn’t have stopped the title at “come”...It doesn’t look right...
This verse has actually been the source of a lot of distress for recovering fundamentalists, as it has been used as an evangelical verse. Many Christians who had always believed that they loved Jesus are suddenly forced to consider whether they have done this or not.

Oh, I had no idea. May I ask for clarification? What do you mean...'have done this or not'...done what?
'opened the door'....'heard his voice'...loved Jesus ?

It implies saying a special Magical Prayer. Or having a Born-Again Experience. The problem is we were not really sure what we were supposed to do. We didn't quite relate to the testimonies of those who explained their experiences to us. It involved something like running up the aisle and falling down to your knees at the invitation during the service, then sometimes getting baptized out of personal desire. I never really got the clarification myself.
OH! You were being bad....try having
many new stores being protested against in vain called, "Kum and Go".
Ick.
Even my sis, 70, moving here from NY commented on them!
Magical prayers...oh.
There are just some guide lines on how to pray...NO mystical biggy....like don't be praying
for something, but in the back of your mind be also saying.."Oh, I'll never get want I want." or
"God's not listening, I don't even deserve what I'm asking for."
Even if it is just for Him to give you a sign ....(not talking money or to win the lottery)
People often are giving double messages...thus, nothing happens...they don't even realize it...
then give up.
