You don’t need a candle, a medal, or a statue to reach God—because Jesus already made the way. In this powerful reminder, we explore how religious traditions can sometimes quietly distract us from the One who truly saves. This isn't judgment—it's clarity.

Have we complicated what God made simple? This message lovingly reminds us that Jesus doesn't need rituals—He wants relationship.

🙏 Watch until the end—it just might change the way you pray.

“Believers share a common life with God, experience His presence through the indwelling Holy Spirit, and commune with Him through prayer and the reading of His Word.”

Feelings

27 Sep 2018

It is morning as I type this. I’m setting on the porch in a rocking chair. The birds are singing, a goose is honking as he flies overhead, a small breeze caresses my skin as I peacefully commune with God. It would be perfect except that my dear husband is dying.

The nurse came to tell him his breathing has changed to be more shallow short breaths. They cleaned him and shaved him and he looked so peaceful in his bed. Our friend Jess left a few minutes ago. Rod coughed before I left the room, the nurse shot him full of more meds and the nurse asked me to take a walk while she suctioned the stuff out of his lungs. I let Rod listen to a sweet message from grand daughter Olivia and son Chris and read part of a letter from first wife Jane. All things I think would give him comfort. I hugged him and put his head on my shoulder and kissed his forehead told him I love him, as I do every time when I leave the room. I know he knows I’m here. When he coughs, he opens his eyes, it’s still a far away gaze, but he turns his eyes toward my voice. He is so week today, from the sound of his cough, I’m pretty sure he has pneumonia, although he doesn’t have a fever. According to the nurses, a fever is another tale tell sign that transition is near. He peed once last night, but didn’t want even a sip water when I offered it this morning.

I have this feeling he will pass on my birthday, the 30th of September.

I wrote the first draft of the program for his celebration of life and am still going through the photos to show at visitation. My friend Julie is working on the venue for a post-celebration gathering place and food. I hope to have more photos and music playing there.

Rod is giving me time to get it all planned, in classic Rod MILLER fashion.

Father God,

I thank You once again for all of You kindness and mercy as You have guided Rodney and I through this life together. Through all of our journeys and adventures all over Your beautiful creation. I thank you for the mission I have had to get him to all of these places so that he could serve you by staying sober and helping other alcoholics Achieve sobriety. I can truly say I have witnessed a man who went about doing good and I will forever be grateful for the time we have had together. Father I ask that You grant himna merciful and peaceful transition to come back home to You. I ask that You give our family strength as we learn to live without his physical presence. I ask that You send the Holy Spirit to us to comfort us and give us peace.

Amen,

Sarah

#communion #conversationwithgod #heargod #seegod #sensegod #communewithgod #obeygod #obedience #love #truth #home #theway #jesus #god #words #father # commandments I can't seem to SENSE, SEE or HEAR from the Spirit of God. How do I know I am being LED by Him? I don't seem to have PEACE of MIND, what could be wrong with me? Am I MISSING something? John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. No one comes to the FATHER except through ME. 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and KEEPS them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My WORDS; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our HOME with HIM. John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you DESIRE, and it shall be done for YOU. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you BEAR much FRUIT; so you will be My DISCIPLES.10 If you KEEP My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. Jonah 3:1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you.” Comment: The missing links could be that I have no Jesus in my life, or I am living in disobedience to God's command in His word or a specific instruction to do something like forgiveness, repentance or an assignment I have refused to carry out or the FRUIT of love is missing or I am just plain ignorant. And ignorance they say is bliss. Whatever it may be, I ask you Holy Spirit to bring the issue(s) back so I can take corresponding action(s) to return back to place of communion in Jesus name, amen. pick the book https://store.otakada.org/item/encounter-engaging-the-supernatural-god-in-mobi-and-epub-by-monday-ogwuojo-ogbe
