God Moments
 On Sunday at the River, we talked about God Moments. Those are moments in life when we sense an extra connection with God, feeling His presence quite near us. We saw that a God Moment
will draw us closer to Him, draw others closer to Him through us, will
leave is more whole, and will help us to know what we are to do in the
moment or beyond.
We also discussed that, like any experience, we must evaluate them according to our life authority, in our case, the Bible.
We asked the two questions below, and we discussed them in small groups. Here are the questions and our answers.
#1 How Can We Recognize God Moments When They Happen?
-Be aware that God works in our lives
-Study the Bible so that it is in our soul. We will recall examples of God Moments from the Bible if we have read and studied them.
-We will see it in the after affects. Follow our gut, then reflect on what happened.
-Be
intentional about investing in a significant and growing relationship
with God. This will help us to know His voice better when we hear it!
-Slowdown! Practice meditation activities like journaling.
-Once we experience our first one, subsequent ones are easier to recognize.
#2 How Can We Inhabit These God Moments?
-Be courageous in engaging the moment when we realise what is happening. Follow through!
-Maintain an ongoing conversation with God.
