HOW DO I BELIEVE...

QUESTION

How do I believe in a God that I’ve never seen, how do I know God is real?

ANSWER

Romans 1:19-20…Because that which may be known of God is manifest (clearly apparent to the sight or understanding; to reveal; to appear in visible form) in them; for God hath shewed (showed) it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Believing in God is a feeling first, an innate wisdom and knowledge that God is because he is where we come from. The life cycle of the human being is this, spirit to human, human back to spirit. Before our earthly existence we were thoughts in the mind of God, then those thoughts of God took shape in the form of a spirit being, once the spirit being becomes developed and ready to serve the will of God on earth then comes the process of conception to birth of the spirit to human form. Now with this explained, it is over the course of time, experiences, teachings, learning, pursuit and studying does the development of that innate understanding God put in us to know that he is real widens and causes our belief in him to deepen and strengthen. It is by faith we believe, by looking around and having an understanding that all things I am seeing has been created by the Thone of God.

(Innate understanding = the origin of belief that God anointed in the hearts and minds of all human beings when he shaped the image of our spirit and flesh in the depths of his mind.)

If I have not answered your question sufficiently then I urge you to pray. Pray first for a Godly understanding then pray for God to send his Holy Spirit into you to show you the presence of God in your life. Pray and ask God to open your eyes to see him, ears to hear his voice, a heart to receive him and the ability to feel his almighty presence around and within you. And after you pray become active in seeking the truth for yourself, read your Bible diligently with the intent to learn all that is in God. Start paying attention to everything. God is not just the thought of an omnipotent being sitting on a throne in the Kingdom of Heaven, God is a blessed feeling within ourselves, God is the piece of us that tells us there is someone greater than all that the mind could ever imagine. God is not just a voice of distinction you are blessed to hear but a movement within your essence that guides you towards all that is righteousness and true in a world filled with sin. God is that inkling of thought that gave way to you even wondering if he even exists. He is the awakening force behind your question that he has designed to guide you to him.

Let me end with this…

Colossians 1:15…Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.

The presence of Jesus the Christ who we know to be the son of God is indeed all the proof you need to know that God is real. Why Jesus the Christ you might ask? Because Jesus is the earthly image of who God is in the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus was the first to be created by God in his image and when he saw that mankind was in serious trouble and in need of his holy redeeming presence, he sent his son down from Heaven on his behalf to be a human reflection of his spirit image.

One last thing…

Read Galatians 5:22-23, the fruits of the Holy Spirit then take stock of yourself and list all the fruits of the Spirit that reside in you. Next read Genesis 1:26-27 telling us God made each of us in his image. Lastly read Genesis 2:7, the breath of life God breathed into man that man may be made alive. Now look at yourself in the mirror, you alone are proof that God is real. Your spirit is his spirit, your image is his image and it is the breath of the Throne of Heaven that keeps your body and soul alive each and every day. You are God, God is you, you and God are one. God is real.
