Is there any proof that God exists?
Whenever this question comes up, I am always reminded of Thomas in the Bible who would not believe that Jesus was alive until he could touch Him. That is the same analogy many people use today when it comes to answering the question "Is there any proof that God exists?" They want physical proof for something that must be taken on faith value.
It takes greater faith to believe that an unseen God exists than it does to just dismiss Him because you cannot physically confirm that He is there. For those who deal in evidence there is proof all around you and inside of you that God does exist...........
Take a good look around... When most people look at the world around them, they see only the trees; they do not see the forest that is there. It should be obvious that God exists because of His creation, not only us humans, but the world we live in, the galaxy that world is in, and the universe that the galaxy is in.
Our universe contains too much order for our existence to have been created out of chaos. We are complex beyond our imaginations and when you look at such a complexity, you see God and His creation.
Take a good look inside yourself. Most people fail to look inside themselves for God. Instead, they look to their surroundings and conclude that since the world is such a mess, God must not be there, if He ever existed at all. They forget that since God created us, we bear His fingerprints and those fingerprints point to His existence.
First, we are all born with an innate knowledge of what is right and wrong. Even a young child knows that when they misbehave they are doing something that goes against their parents’ wishes. The knowledge of good and evil comes from God. It was put there to keep us in balance and to allow us to understand why we need to come to God for forgiveness.
Second, we have a desire to seek love. Our whole life is spent trying to fill a gap that exists in our souls; a gap that only be filled by the love of God. No matter what we do to try and fill this gap -- money drugs, alcohol, sex, possessions -- the hole will never be filled until we turn back to God and accept His Son as our Savior and Lord.
These are only two of the inward feelings that should tell us that we are more than just some random mistake of nature; that we are created, that a real God that created us, and that He is still there watching over us.
Take a good look at His Son, Jesus Christ. All we need to do is take a good look at the life of Jesus to see that He was a man, but more than a man, He was God. When was the last time you saw a man walk on water, calm a storm, or make a man rise from the dead? Even Jesus Himself conquered death and rose again to ascend to Heaven.
Think about the impact that Jesus has had on this world from the very moment of His birth; the way His life, death and resurrection have shaped world history, changed lives, and healed souls. No mere man could do this so we must say as the Roman soldier did at His crucifixion, "Surely this is the Son of God."
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Genesis 37 tells the story of Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers. At that time, I'm sure it didn't look to Joseph like God had a plan -- at least not one that was good for him.
Joseph surely thought what many of us have, "Why did you let this happen to me, God?"
No doubt things looked clearer to Joseph later on when he was ruling Egypt and was able to save his entire family from starvation. (Genesis 45-50)
Often life may seem confusing and out-of-control. But don't despair. God has a plan for you which He is working out. If you could only see the end He has in mind for you -- you would begin to rejoice and thank God right now. (Hint, hint.)
I would love the opportunity to come to your Church and Evangelize! All you have to do is ask. Please email me at HolySpiritSentMe@msn.com
Hang On To Your Faith
The devil's whole strategy is to get you to turn loose of your faith in God and His Word.
MARK 4:15 NIV
15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
How can the devil steal the Word from you ? Only when it seems untrue. People don't turn loose of what they believe is true.
So, to steal the Word, the devil must convince you it's not true. The devil does this by getting us to focus on what our mind tell us, instead of on God's Word, the seed which changes our circumstances when we read it.
As with any seed, the full glory of its life is not apparent immediately, but manifests over time with the proper care. God's Word will change your circumstances!
If you don't believe God's Word, you won't act on it. Without following God's instructions, you will not be made free (see John 8:31-32).
Actions cannot be separated from believing. Whatever you are acting on is what you really believe. So, hanging on to your faith
means to keep believing what God said -- regardless of circumstances.
HEBREWS 10:23 KJV
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
A key to hanging on to your faith is found in what you say. When you speak of fear and doubt, faith shrivels. But when you speak faith, words in line with the Bible, your faith grows strong.
The devil tries to get you to doubt God and His Word. The devil wants you to give up on God, to not trust Him, to not expect Him to do what He said in His Word. Do not give up! God can be trusted.He loves you & we love you!
We would also love to help you in your walk with the Lord.
If you have any questions at all please ask. We would love the opportunity to help you with any problems you are facing by using God's living word! We also offer Free Bible's
WEAK IN YOUR FAITH?
Don't be discouraged if your faith is weak. everyone starts out with weak faith.
Your faith must be fed in order to grow strong.
Faith requires evidence to rest upon. The Bible provides the evidence that your faith needs.
ROMANS 10:l7 New Life
17. So then, faith comes to us by hearing the Good News. And the Good News comes by someone preaching it.
Correct teaching on a subject produces faith in your heart.
But it is not enough just to hear teaching on a subject. To keep your faith strong you must feed on scriptures pertaining to that subject, by reading, speaking, and thinking about those
scriptures. Daily!
You must also exercise your faith for it to grow strong. That is: to Act on what you learn from Scripture. Put it to work in your life. Apply it!
Your faith can be strong in one area while being weak in another. For example, most Christians have strong faith concerning the new birth, but weak faith concerning healing, because they have never heard much teaching on the subject of healing.
It is true, as Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, that we need every word that God has spoken -- not just some of them.
So, if you want your faith to grow in any area, listen to anointed teaching on that subject, then continue to read, speak, meditate, and act on those scriptures.God Bless
Faith Pleases God
HEBREWS 11:6 NKJ
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He Is, and that he is a rewarder
of those who diligently seek Him.
Our experience does not always agree with what the Bible says.
For example, the Bible says that God will supply all your needs in Phillipians 4:19, but it may seem like all your needs are not being met.
The Bible says that God always leads us in triumph, but it may seem like you are losing.
When our experience does not agree with the Bible, it is an opportunity to keep our faith in what God said, or to give up on that faith.
Circumstances are subject to change. But God will never change what He has said. When we hold on to our faith in God's Word, circumstances will change.
Believing what the Bible says when the circumstances disagree can be very difficult. It's a great temptation to give in and forget what God said.
But what greater purpose could your life have than to please God?
Many people strain and sacrifice to please other humans. How much greater of a goal it is to please God!
Resist unbelief! Keep your faith in God! You will be rewarded!
Keep your faith strong, feed it daily.
God Bless
Prayer
Prayer is a habit and like every other habit, good or bad, it must be developed.
You know you need to pray! You need God's help, His wisdom and His guidance and you must persevere in prayer. The activities, stresses of life and satan try to keep you from praying. So persevere!
LUKE 21:36
36 But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.
When you Pray to God you gain strength that comes in no other way. You find the wisdom and courage to face life's garbage and to overcome.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:17-18
17 Never stop praying.
18 Give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.
Learn to always include God in your thoughts. Ask Him about everything. Build your relationship by constantly
Praying. And one of the most important things for you to
pray to God about is your gratitude. Thank God for everything.
Don't just talk to God when you're on your knees or at church. Pray as you do your daily activities, include God by constantly praying to him & with him.
Talk to God about everything! Not just wants & needs but everything! Thanks & Praise!
Are you Happy?
What are you waiting for?
Most people are waiting for something --something "special" that will make their life great, so they can be happy.
Ask yourself: have others had this, and are they all happy? No, they're not, and it won't give you lasting happiness, either.
Happiness is not determined by external circumstances, but by internal circumstances.
Everyone chooses how happy they are by what they choose to think about.
Your attitude is determined by your perspective, which is determined by what you think about -- your focus. You choose your focus, so ultimately, you are the one who chooses whether
to be happy, or not.
Perspective is what the Beatitudes (Matthew 5) are about. Seeing a bigger picture than just this one small moment of time. (The Beatitudes are where Jesus explained how some are blessed, or happy -- even in difficult situations.)
(The word we translate as "happy" in the New Testament is usually translated as "blessed.")
You won't get happiness by chasing what the world has to offer. It has already been tried and it has already failed.
And, you will never be happy as long as you are self-centered.(selfish)
A focus on self is guaranteed to prevent happiness.
Right after Jesus performed the task of washing his disciple's feet -- kinda like cleaning a toilets today -- He told them:
JOHN 13:15,17 ICB
15 I did this as an example for you. So you should do as I have done for you.
17 If you know these things, you will be happy if you do them.
You will be happy if you help others. If you take your focus off yourself. That's what Jesus taught.
