Have you ever asked yourself, "what if there isn't a God?"
Have you ever wondered, what if there isn’t a God? Like what if He isn’t real?
Well I HAVE
Questions like this can either....
1: pull you closer to Him
or
2: lead you to exit His Kingdom.
Okay let’s start off with..
Is it wrong to question God’s existence?
No, it isn’t !
“Why isn’t it?” Because you’re not the one that questioning God’s existence, it’s the plan of the enemy.
Let me explain..
When these thoughts enter our mind, it’s ALWAYS influenced by something ELSE.
The thought lands in our mind, they’re not created there.
The thoughts are usually created by..
•Foolish and untrue doctrines
•Opinionated Books/ posts/ articles
•Influenced by lost souls
And so on..
God reveals himself to His people and the devil will attack all the assurances that God has given you.
To weaken what you know about God..
Once we get pass second guessing God
It’s one question that we need to ask ourselves ...
“Do I truly want to know Him?”
Because sometimes we can be SETTLERS, settling for an incomplete understanding of who God is...
It’s like walking towards the Sun, you will be changed
You will be BURN’T
Same with Jesus, the closer we walk towards Him the more we will be changed.
And change is hurts, so we stand our distance from God.... close but far.
Questioning God and his existence comes easy when we don’t know Him. Get me?
Example: If your mom has been showing you for 20+ years that she loves you... can a stranger come to you and persuade you that your mom doesn’t love you? nope..Exactly
I can sit here and tell you all these things that I’ve read and researched to show you that God is real but why would that matter if you can know Him personally?
No ancient letter, artifact or biography is going to move you when God has shown you HIS face.
I believed that there was a God before I ever saw Him moving in my life. And the times where I questioned his existence is when I COULDN’T SEE Him moving.. (Key: I couldn’t see it)
And that was due to lack of focus on Him..
In our weaken state, when our struggle and circumstances intensifies, frustration-grows..
Frustration grows when we’re standing in between our situation and God’s will
Not knowing what God is doing in your life or where He’s taking you can lead you to questioning Him...
Questioning if He’s there
Questioning if He’s STILL there (there’s a different)
... etc
These are the times that builds our character,
and Our relationship with Him
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD” -Jeremiah 29:13 (He will be FOUND)
He wants to be found but get this.....
Yes, maybe you’re already saved and maybe you already know Him
BUT are you seeking Him everyday?
Or are you content?
(Make this personal for you)
From when you wake up... to when you go to bed — Are you seeking Him truly?
Final thought:
God’s existence is something the devil is always trying to disprove. Especially in “those” trying seasons, because that’s when the words of the devil is easily believed. Come to the true understanding of God, I say true because I have yet to discover His fullness but I do know Him, and He knows me...
God becomes real to you once you seek Him, once you know Him...
Leaning only on the testimony of others won’t make you strong in faith... you MUST know Him personal.
Let God become a sure thing in your life, pursue Him like you’ve never pursued anything else in your life.
No “fact” or opinion or video or idea will be able to disprove what you have personally experienced!!
People will always try to poke holes in your foundation.. poke holes in the evidence of God's existence
Don't let your foundation be opinions of others/videos
Let your foundation be a personal relationship!!
