The Presence of God or Mysticism? - Ask Pastor Tim 

Thank you for this. I have felt the presence of God, but have family members who visit churches affiliated with Bethel. I was even pushed down at a service because I wasn't slain in the spirit like everyone else and I was rebuked. When God's presence did fall on me a different time, I was crying. Not this silly stuff. I left this church when I heard a speaker looking for gold dust to fall during worship. True worship is humbling yourself, repentance, thankfulness. Not jumping around and falling backwards.

All that i know is you can feel the presence of GOD, and yes you will fall to the earth and be over welmed with HIS Holiness. Never have i felt so dirty, but loved at the same time.

It's comforting to find a Pastor dealing w/issues biblically, objectively and w/ grace.

Every spirit carries a "presence". You have to discern which ones are demonic and which presence is of God. That's why a gift of discernment is necessary in the church.

Tim Conway really has provided a good middle ground here between "charismania" and true religious affections with God.

When I feel God’s presence I am filled with humility and thanksgiving. That is not mystic. That’s the fruit of the Spirit.

Great point about taking Johnny Mac's quote in the context in which it was spoken.

Yes you can feel the presence of God because i have felt him and he put the words in my muoth

It's refreshing, and a true revelation when we realize and accept that each of our relationships with God is uniquely personal, and special. When we focus too much on what other humans say, do, or experience, we limit ourselves, our God, and that intimately personal relationship each of us has with Him.

Psalm 16:11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore

While I was walking from the parking lot to the hospital, Something happens to be the best way to describe it as weightless, came over me on the inside and I knew that it was God!. His present was so real the "heaviness" this is what I was thinking my mortal body couldn't sustain his Holy present. His holy present made me feel like I was going to die my strength was gone. I walked past a man he looked at me and said its God he will do what He promised. The was a God moment for me. He is real.

An Excellent Explantion of the Numinous Experience of the AWARENESS of the PRESENCE of GOD.....Thank You Tim Conway

THANK YOU whoever asked this question!!!

Lately my top bible teacher to listen to is You Pastor Tim...I have the MacArthur study bible and thats why I started checking out John ...well how cant ya with him being in court in 2020 as much as he has ...strong man of God he is

Very well said brother. Balance is the key.

This is a beautiful teaching.

Thank you for your biblically detailed approach to issues!

I sure want an awareness of God! I have felt His Presence, and I want more.

I love how you approached that email question. Awesome! well explained!! I'm so glad I watched this.. this is the boost I needed. I've been hit by the power of God before and it was just like those men expalined. It was awe inspiring.. Undescribable.. you knew that Gods love was pouring on your heart. Its the peace I long for.. there is nothing even close that feeling. Praise your Holy Name Lord. May I seek you more.. seek you until I find you and my cup is full and overflowing with your goodness and love. In Jesus name..

I believe the same. I've been a part of an Assemblies of God church where the presence of God was so heavy all the time. I really miss it. I wish I would have never left.

The presence of God is real. His annointing is tangible and transferable. 'nuff said.

This has been beautifully explained! 📖🌷

PRAISE THE LORD AND THANK YOU JESUS!!!GOD BLESS...

Only God's close chosen people will feel the presence from the ALMIGHTY GOD. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Reverend John MacArthur, Junior was speaking as a cessationist. He, Doctor Todd Friel, and Reverend Philip Johnson were confronting backlash after the Strange Fire Conference.

I appreciate this sermon!

Thanks be to God for brother Tim & others at GCC

Interesting that I heard the term "liquid love". Heard Joyce Meyer use the same term. I'm still trying to sort this all and I do appreciate Tim taking the time to answer this question.

Tower said: pray until you pray and read until you read. Andrew Murray said: wait on the Lord - wait on the Lord until you can worship Him with whole heart and soul and your prayers have power. We are too hasty in the inner room. I always make known to God that I'm not going anywhere until He meets me. Often when God shows up I cringe for half an hour terribly ashamed in His light seeing my words or what I bought that wasn't necessary etc or how I treated a hungry youth on the street giving him too little money etc. After that I usually ''pray through' as the old people said. This is all on my own without music etc just me and God and the open Bible before me.

Hi,I have a question. How did Satan know what evil was? He was created perfect. In the garden of Eden there is a tree of good and evil,implying God had created this tree of the good and evil What do these things means? Appreciate any responses. Thanks

I experience a 'check' in my spirit when I am heading into a wrong conversation/decision....perhaps call it conviction. But likewise I sometimes get goosebumps, or a feeling of peace when praying which likewise I feel is the opposite of the check, but rather an affirmation/confirmation. I am really cautious, having already gone from Anglican and then more recently come out of charismania / Bethel stuff. But a lot of the so-called supernatural experiences I was having stopped after, dreams for example or so called prophetic words. I am now struggling to find that biblically sound place, both in a church and in my own heart. I have visited most of my local churches and it is either religion or charismania. Oh Lord, humble us and lead us into the fullness of Truth

Do I see a RL ALLAN Bible?

What book is that one you are reading right close to the end ..I've just been starting to get into other books ..I bought a supposed true story ..90 minutes in Heaven but then I heard about that man that wrote it being very false coming from Justin Peters....just today I listened to a q and a panel with John Mcarthur ,justin Peters 2 others I've not heard of and the man that was hosting asking the questions I dont know him either ...was about Bethel jesus culture ...etc

Can anyone tell me the books he was quoting

Tim noted Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Look for his book Enjoying The Presence of God and also one by Lister called The Presence of God. The Nearness of God by Burns could also be helpful here.

What does it mean to pray through the psalms

If you look at voice of the martyrs channel you’ll find lots of testimonies of Christian’s in the Middle East with experiences of God

If i think about God i can maybe feel all kind of emotions, mysticism is different. My view is someone who is actively searching for God and look what is in between them, or what resistance is hanging on. One common experience is that it's something you can't explain and goes beyond words or the intellect and emotions. And even catholic and mysticism can go hand in hand look at st. Teresa of Avila or st. John of the Cross they explain well the road or process to God and all kind of experiences you can have.

I believe what MacArthur is trying to address is distinguishing true biblical Faith which does not come through the senses with any dependence on an experience. I was just listening to Tim talk about true faith is something that you cannot see. You believe in what you cannot see. Historically the reformed faith has understood all the senses as the same. Therefore we must lean strongly away from putting our confidence in any experience of the senses whatsoever and all our assurance and conviction should come from scripture alone

I have been taken into the presence of Christ. I know of no other of whom this is true, and Ive spent every day since then….completely obscured. I know clearly what is the Lords will, and none of us yet are saved, until the transformation is finished. It is true, I have seen myself from Christ himself. The only known witness of my Lord alive today.

I love this pastor. Just recently found him. Does anyone know where he preaches at?

Hey James from I'llBeHonest,what is the name of the book pastor Tim is reading from?

I always just assumed when people talk about the presence of God they are talking about the Holy Spirit, the humility, peace, love, joy, ect. I assume JM has as well but idk. I wonder if he was responding to different claims.

Why do I need to feel something that I already KNOW in my spirit?

Wait I thought laughter is a part of joy? I have laughed in his presence. I also have experienced the holiness of God too.

Pastor Tim your right the power of has no sell by dates. Our Father is constantly present. His presence we should eagerly long for, to be always near because I like, love Him and welcome Him for being Him. It's only natural to be near to,be close to be whom we love and respect. Only a bad father wouldn't spend time with His child, this is not true about our Maker and Father. We shouldn't, attempt to trapped our Lord in a tiny box of our understanding, but allow Him to mould and shape us into the likeness of our Lord Jesus. We have His words the Bible and we also have His hands of the potter. It's a His deep speaking to our deep our response is love, gratitude, joy, peace, awe/godly fear which leads pure worship.

On this subject I would point out to MacArthur or any other person that wishes to be saved, thinks they are, calls themselves Christian, what they would themselves affirm; and simply dig deeper than they seem to have. I would ask if you have not experienced God personally why that is? Who after all is this God you speak of? If you are a Christian you might think about answer the questions yourself? Is He real or imagined? Is He able, does He have the power to manifest His presence to you physically or in speech? Is He inclined to do so? Are you a person He might wish to speak to? Is there any precedent for Him doing so; and any reason found in your books to think He might do so again? My own understanding is that God is an eternal person with unimaginable power who loves me and views me as His own child….so my answers would be yes, yes, yes, yes, and I wounder at any that would say otherwise. That's my personal argument, from logic; but I don’t need to make it because scripture is abundantly plain on the subject. Here are a few examples. My sheep hear My voice. John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me Hebrews 12:6-11 For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.” If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. How can MacArthur say I have never experienced the presence of God but I have been chastened? I hope we all understand that even an atheist has a conscience and can feel guilty or do the right thing? That's not what God means here, and when you go to the wood-shed you will know it!!! been there done that. I mean come on people it says if you endure??? Romans 10:14 How then shall they (call on him) in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Yes if you have heard a preacher you may very well belive, then what? Then you are to call on Him? What would be the point of calling out to God expecting no answer? I think though most fundamental of all is faith. Yashua said it was on this rock He would build the church how can you be part of that church and not be standing on its foundation stone? People seem to have different views of just what Christianity is made of. Where does the rubber meet the road? How exactly does it work? Where does it come from? What do I do to get it? Works? Grace/hyper Grace? Sacraments? Every one of these views has a body of people refferring to themselves as church, teaching their view and calling it Christianity? Calvin was clearly trying to answer this same question concerning salvation. But was he correct??? This is the bottom line when it comes to Christianity....salvation, there is little point in playing at being Christian and in the end finding yourself left out side the Kingdom in the dark? But that is going to happen....Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? and then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! Please do see that these thought they were Christians...They call Him Lord. They were doing great deeds in His Name? Ephesians 2:8 For by grace, you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God (break that down)? Saved by Grace… through Faith… Not Works… It is a Gift from God. That is Christianity, if you have (this) you are a Christian, you are a child that is saved…if you have (this)...what? This is a thing called (Faith) see it there (through faith a gift from God) and you had better know what it is, and where you get it. Here though is what its not, and where it doesn’t come from? Its not you believing in God or Yashua as His Christ???? The fact is every person that calls themselves a Christian will have some variation of this…they all to the last man believe in God and Yashua as His Christ; and they are NOT we all agree saved. SDA say no one but them, so all you Baptists, Catholics, JWs, are out of luck…. Mormons say NO its just them. Roman Catholics say if you don’t have the sacraments, you can’t get in, but they all say YES, I believe in God and in Yashua. Romans 3:20 Therefore, by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. So, if you think you believe and that makes you a child of the most high I have bad news. I also want to give you some Good-news. I want to open up what Scripture has to say about salvation. After all Yashua came to give us good news and we follow Him. No not by works you don’t need a single one; Grace is going to save you; but not grace alone you do need faith. Biblical FAITH not the kind you get out of a dictionary, not the kind you use at an airport or before surgery. Faith that saves is not an inside job, it’s a gift from God. Faith that saves is not something that comes from a good argument. In fact, Paul was good enough to tell us exactly where and how we get this gift. Here it is..... Romans 10:17 ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος Χριστοῦ. This has to be my favorite verse in Scripture because right here is the entire ball game….. If there is a narrow gate, this is the key that opens that gate. So, then faith comes??? Here is the normal translation of the Greek; So, faith from hearing and hearing through (the) word If you read it out of the King James or most other translations you will read…. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Great what does that mean? If its just that easy how are so many getting it wrong? Is the translation, right? Clearly there seems to be a bit of confusion here, Why and if this is the key, its not the passage we want to be confused over. We all know what happens when you lose your key? You get home and you cant get in….. Most would read Romans 10:17 and say; I have the (word of God) right here in my hand, and I read it daily / now and again. Most would say reading it I came to believe in God and Yashua. The bible say believe and you will be saved??? That’s faith right? That’s what it says in Romans 10:17. That happened to me I am saved??? Am I saved? It seems to say that in English but Paul wrote Greek. If Paul had, used the term, λόγος (logos) that would be a fair understanding of the passage. Paul did not use the term λόγος (logos). Look again….it matters ἄρα ἡ πίστις ἐξ ἀκοῆς, ἡ δὲ ἀκοὴ διὰ ῥήματος Χριστοῦ. See this term ῥήματος (rhēmatos) ? In Greek to English translations both λόγος (logos) and ῥήματος (rhēmatos) are (WORD) but they do not mean the same things…. λόγος (logos) is the meaning of a thing, the logic, reason, thought; a picture is worth a thousand words and I could use one to get my point/logos across. Scripture is the logos of God. Whether on paper or preached from a pulpit, on You tube in a debate or in a conversation with your kids before bed, all that which is about God is λόγος (logos); but Paul used ῥήματος (rhēmatos). ῥήματος (rhēmatos) is always, ῥήματος (rhēmatos) is only, a spoken word. Paul is saying God spoke to you, and you perceived Him, from that Faith was the result. If He spoke, and you precieved, if you encountered, if He was present to you? Yes, sure Mormons will say they have heard God…. Mohammad had an encounter he took to be a demon and his wife convinced him it was an angel from God…. As Christians with the scripture, we are warned to test every spirit to KNOW if it is from God. This warning presumes though that we will HEAR……we will encounter. So, John MacArthur if I were you sir, coming to the end of my life, and able to say I have never felt the presence of God. I don’t even know what that would be???? If I were you sir concerning, greatly concerning. For many will say to Me in that day LORD, and I will say I never knew you?

I see Jesus's face constantly throughout the day. What does this mean. Also as I'm just laying my head on the pillow at night, I've heard what sounds to be a choir of angels singing.

Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

Coram Deo

Isaiah 53:5, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you!

Eph 5:30- [KJV], "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband." What is this 'great mystery' and why must the wife 'reverence her husband? Jesus said, Joh 3:3 [KJV], "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." That, too, seems to be 'a great mystery'. Why must one be born again? Can one explain the rebirth event? Should explaining the rebirth event not be top of the list?

Can Christianity be without some degree of Mysticism? No, it cannot.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!!!

John MacArthur is a sound, clear Bible teacher. We are All growing in grace and the knowledge of GOD. He who thinks he is infallible-repent.

John probably doesn't know he's feeling it. If God left him for a season he'd know it then. Sometimes God's presence is so large we can't perceive it. Like an ant trying to perceive it's on your knee. How can it? If we experience God's presence in a tangible way then He is condescending to us to bless us with a tangible blessing. If we are God's, and we have His Holy Spirit, His presence is with us 24/7 and you can perceive it and feel it but you have to really be focused and quiet. False Kundalini or whatever they call it is just hysteria and emotional rancor which I know Satan masquerades as an angel of light and can give people all sorts of religious feelings but the presence of God can't be mimicked or conjured. God gives us what we need when we need it, or He blesses us because He wants to. He wants us to stand in faith without feeling His presence but He is ALWAYS with us unless we have left Him.

Like he expects you to fall like Isaiah he was in the presence in the physical presence of God man alive everybody is just out there they have to go invent the stuff you shouldn’t have to invent anything that he’s comparing it to Isaiah do you think everybody’s going to have an Isaiah thing I doubt it very much till the kids are gonna be waiting for an Isaiah thing if she even knows what that is

How do you feel about David Wilkerson and Ravenhill?

I can feel and see swirls of white winds blowing upon my face and even going through my face as if my skin could physically breathe His living winds that were diffusing through and water flowing through my mouth when i pray and read the Bible in my room.. and my room is airless. so yes the Presence of God is tangibly real to me. Most times its like waves going througj my forehead or pouring of invisible oil of life flowing physically down on my face and theres joy!! I don't ask for these things.. i never even believed before.. they just surprisingly appeared to me one day and kept increasing whenever I met up with Him with a right heart and mind. Im not a "mystic". Im just a Bible following Jesus following born again Christian. 5 solas

Thanks for the video, but you as a Calvinist, don't commit the same error in condemning the Charismatic movement altogether as John McArthur seems to condemn the experiences of some. There are black sheep in every movement and unbiblical things, as one could easily point to the unbiblical teaching of double predestination in Calvinism. Who are we to judge each other??? Can we meet where the Bible is and stay there? I sure hope so! (I am writing this as a pentecostal pastor)

Why is the 'P' capitalized in 'Presence'? Shouldn't it be "the presence of God"?

Yikes! Rip out the book of Acts? That is God breathed scriptures! Scary statement.

We aren’t supposed to judge our brethren, charismatic or otherwise unless G-d come to you and tells you. We are all worshipping he Christ Jesus. Let the Lord judge alone.

How could he know either or he don’t know anything about the Holy Spirit to ever hear him talk about the Holy Spirit the most important thing come on man why how could he explain anything to anybody except for a book that will help but to teach but I wouldn’t listen to things that MAN said somebody needs to lead him to Jesus seriously seriously he’s not born from above you ever hear him talk about the moving of the Holy Spirit then that’s not the real deal it’s cut and dry

And if they did you wouldn’t have to be answering it right now blind you’re blind you’re blind

Well it's obvious experience presence of God is mystical experience and he is asking is that mysticism about or is that the same...you speak too much and empty words...

Oh come on man. So unless a bunch of people are on their face then they have not felt the presence of God?? So we can conclude because a bunch of people are not on the floor then there is no presence of God. You folks are exhausting. Here's the thing. Feeling the presence of God is like eating chocolate. I have you tasted it, you'd know you have.

Thunder over here I’ll pray for her she’ll know the damn difference between the presence of God no such thing as a mysticism come on man what’s wrong with you wasting your breath

Well, I'm an ex catholic. Now I'm a mystic. And I can tell you it's an amazing feeling to be in that kind of communion with God. But it takes a LOT of work to get there. It's all self work so nothing physical, but once you get there your life is forever changed. I'll give you the secret. Literally it's all in your heart and the power is love. Every religion has a mystical aspect to it because religion is for the mind, mysticism is for the heart. Two totally different things that can cross paths.

A room full of people who are not mystics judging mysticism. That's like mystics standing in a room discounting Christianity and has never been in it. This isn't science you simply made a truth claim on something you know nothing of.

Bro the first 10 minutes was so repetitive lol

Ohhhhh I get it.....you've never been in mysticism but your judging it. You said if you seek the experience of the presence which is the kingdom vs the book the devil will get you. Lmao I'm good

Is not performance. Come on. I never heard such tough sermons in all the Babtist churches in London, Germany and Switzerland like in Hillsong. I guess you are attacking Hillsong as the likes of Osten and Hinn are obviously of the Devil.

Wow! He just referred to laughter as insanity! His own ignorance will prevent him from actually experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit....Sad....I know there was a lot of flaky stuff going on in the charismatic circle but you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water because for every true move of the Holy Spirit the enemy will provide a counterfeit. It’s no wonder people like him lean towards a Spirit of legalism because they lack the intimacy of the Holy Spirit.

Christianity is a bologna word baloney baloney word made up word like Catholic come on man

Wow, I have much respect for Tim Conway, but he is clearly struggling with his friends novice statement, finding it very difficult to call MacArthour what he is, a "False Prophet"...John MacArthur guy has many doctrinal issues... To began with, John is a " Cessationalist", who has more passion for the American Flag than he does for the Cross of Christ. Not to mention his many racist undertons, when endorsing his unbiblical political position and such. Nevertheless,, there are many who have the gift of teaching to some degrees. However, when it comes to the Word of Yahweh, John teaches without revelation and Godly Wisdom that come from the Holy Spirit, as a result of a man having been "Born Again". John Mac Arthur's statement reflects his position on spiritual gifts as well as never having experience the presence of the Lord. Experiencing the presence of the Holy Ghost is a common experimence amongst Born Again Disciples. Tim Conway you must be BOLD and straight forward, calling a spade a spade,no matter who it is. King Yeshua was never diplomatic when calling out the " Deeds of Darkness!"

I officially believe John MacArthur is untrustworthy unspiritual and ungodly. I have felt the presence of God that's the only time I've had peace. It comes when I'm obedient and focused. I feel his presence when I seek first his kingdom and his righteousness before any other thing. Anybody who says that they don't know what feeling the presence of God means is not a Christian and they don't know God. How can you know someone without feeling their presence? Who is John MacArthur worshipping? Have you ever been with someone that you know and not felt their presence? If you've never felt the presence of God repent of your sins calling his name and do all you can to obey him and he will guide you open your eyes and you will know him.

Why am I watching such stupidity
