Honestly, if there is no God, then where did this all begin? Even science cant disprove that someone or something had to begin the creation at some point, cuz something can not start from nothing. So once science establishes that the Big Bang theory is heavily flawed and there had to have been a first at some point, I have heard that now some scientists are leaning away from Big Bang towards Creationism, which now brings comfort to the big brainers out there cuz they no longer have to fake support for a THEORY that more than likely won't ever be proven fact cuz it disagrees with physics and all the other science stuff (Science was really hard for me in school!), but ask them about a Creator for their new Creation Idea (Wow! Gold stars for them, DUH!) and they tremble because they havent figured that out, and really dont want to admit that all these years theyve wasted trying to prove the Big Bang as fact, have been pointing to a Being higher and more sophisticated than their own brains, further proving that there just might be a God that theyll have to answer to after all some day, and that even more embarrassing is that the Bible, amazingly accurate despite the skeptics trying to disprove it, has explained the beginning all this time, while pointing them to the Creation idea and the Creator who was in charge of it all in the first place. Interestingly enough, God states that He is the Beginning and the End. So while they stand in their laboratories and scratch their heads trying to figure out where life and all this began, those who love God are happy and content as they continue on through their days knowing full well where they came from, who made them, and are at peace about the whole thing and spend their lives focusing on loving others and serving others before themselves, continually pressing into God for His will, wisdom, peace, revelation, strength, joy, tenderness, mercy, forgiveness, truth, self-control, and patience, focusing utterly on the things of their heart (all this only, of course, if they have truly figured out what being a Christian actually means, not using it to cast judgment and hate onto others, completely missing and misusing Jesus' examples of true love for all). For from your heart, the mouth speaks, your true intentions are revealed! And why are these scientists (and others) trying so desperately to disprove the existence of God? Well, because they are sinners who feel ashamed for what they have done, and who dont want to take responsibility for what they have done or what theyll do. (although many have at one point turned to God, but not out of repentance and obedience, and recognition that He is God, not their enslaved genie who is there to make life wonderfully easy and make them rich and healthy for the rest of their days--Anyone who believes that is utterly deceiving themselves. And there are also those that went to the church where they were surrounded by hypocrites, and were mistreated and looked down upon by believing jerks!If you were one of those, I am truly grieved and sorry that you were treated that way!!)
So, there are all these people who feel judged and abandoned by God out there in the world, lonely, thirsty and hungry. But only if they knew that God doesnt make people feel ashamed, He convicts them to bring them out of sin's destructive pattern and deadly grip. God hasn't asked them to pay for what they have done, for He already took care of it through Jesus, He just asks that we repent. So for people to say that they want a miracle from God to truly show how powerful He is while, at the same time, they totally have no regard for the miracle of Jesus' birth and death, or for the miracles that were recorded over and over again in history (the Bible didnt exist then), why would they expect such a miracle for themselves? A miracle isn't (most of the time) going to change someone's mind about God. It's about their heart and if they believe and are going to trust God and His word.
~James 1:5-8 5If you need wisdom--if you want to know what God wants you to do--ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. 6But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8They can't make up their minds. They waver back and forth in everything they do.~
So God wants us to go to Him! But we need to ask according to His plan for us--He has had a plan for each one of us since the very second He decided to create you, BEFORE your mother had even conceived you! So, if you want to learn about God's plan for you--His will for your life, than you need to ask.
Lets say that a guy who has never had any respect for God and doesnt want to believe in Him says to God, God, if you do this for me and heal my back from all of this tremendous pain, then I will believe that You are there and because you were so faithful to prove to me that you exist, then I promise to believe in You when I am healed. With this said do you think that if God did heal the man from all of his pain and ailments that the man would truly believe in God after the pain has left (Most Likely, NOT)? That is an example of how many view God as a magical genie who is desperate for peoples votes of approval and acceptance. This is an absurd and really, an illogical thought process! If I had told the story differently as in the man went to a stranger and said that if he would give him a free massage and pain killers any time his back was hurting him, that he would promise to be his BFF (best friend forever), would you not think that to be a foolish and absurd request? It is the same for an unbelieving person to expect God to do something for them when God knows the true intent of their heart.
Does God need our love and affection? No. But does He love it and find joy when we give it to Him? Yes indeed. It says that God delights over us with songs! He sings over us because of His unconditional love!
~Zephaniah 3:17 For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
AND
Isaiah 62:5
And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your God will rejoice over you.
But when a believing person comes to God and asks that God would take away their pain and sickness, they are in obedience. For we are to be in prayercommunicationcommunionin an INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP with our Creator, or how else will we know His heart? Know His voice? Hear His revelation? Receive His Wisdom? How ELSE?? How can we RECEIVE His Healing? WE CANT! We are not in God, we are not with God, therefore, we reject God when we are in disobedience! How can I give my child a hug when he rejects my embrace? I cant because he is REJECTING me.
When you dont believe, then dont bother asking God for anything, because even if He did give it to you, you would be missing His whole point behind it. Not that God doesnt heal un-believers. He has MANY times, but He knows their heart, and knows that theyll recognize it for what it is, a Miracle, and not some wish that the genie finally made come true. He has had a plan for them and new that that was the time that He has reserved to reveal Himself to them.
Has God healed my pain? Nope. **Read previous blog.** But Hes God. Hes NOT my servant, or my genie. He governs me, not the other way. He speaks to me on the things of His heart and I will not forsake my prayers for healing, but I will move forward, beyond my pains and suffering, (for there are people who I know personally, suffering far greater than I), and set my heart on the Will of my Savior, my Creator, my Father, on my God. I will not be as so foolish to say that my God created me with flaws! He says I am perfect in His sight and I will rest at ease.
~This is what the LORD says, I called you by name when you did not know me. 5I am the LORD; there is no other God. I have prepared you, even though you do not know me, 6so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the LORD, and there is no other. 7I am the one who creates the light and makes the darkness. I am the one who sends good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things. 8Open up, O heavens, and pour out your righteousness. Let the earth open wide so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together. I, the LORD, created them.
9"Destruction is certain for those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot ever argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, `Stop, you are doing it wrong!' Does the pot exclaim, `How clumsy can you be!' 10How terrible it would be if a newborn baby said to its father and mother, `Why was I born? Why did you make me this way?' "
11This is what the LORD, the Creator and Holy One of Israel, says: "Do you question what I do? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands? 12I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the millions of stars are at my command. 13I will raise up Cyrus to fulfill my righteous purpose, and I will guide all his actions. He will restore my city and free my captive people--and not for a reward! I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken!" ~Isaiah 45:4-13 (NLT)
Isaiah 45:19 (NLT)
19I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner so no one can understand what I mean. And I did not tell the people of Israel to ask me for something I did not plan to give. I, the LORD, speak only what is true and right.
