Finding God
One day, a person raised a question that stumped me. How do you find God? I had to pause and think for a minute because I had never been without God. I became a Christian as a young child because of my parents, family ministers, and upbringing. So I never had to answer that question. I always knew God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. After a moment of contemplation, here is my answer. There is no place where God is not. Therefore, God is Omnipresent (present everywhere), Omnipotent (a Power that can do anything), and Omniscient (the power that knows everything). The Creator of the universe is everywhere in everything that we breathe, see, and touch, including every human being. First, you sit quietly for 10 -15 minutes and ask Adonai (LORD) to speak to you and come into your heart. Second, ask for forgiveness of your sins, and you must be sincerely sorry for your sins. Then wait for the calming peace to overpower your being. If you are faking, God knows and will not answer your petitions, and the power of his Holy Spirit will not come upon you. Lastly, Another way is to read the book of the Psalms, and as you read a chapter, sit quietly and ask Almighty God(El Shaddai) to reveal HIS word to you. There are other methods, but this has worked for me and those who have asked me throughout the ages.
Book Excerpt
Just The Edge of God
Did God not turn his back just once in all eternity on his Son so Jesus could fulfill the sin of humanity?
Just think how awful this was for the Creator to have his Son go through the pain and anguish humanity sent him through just for humankind. But this was the ultimate Love gift for humanity. So take a moment and think about this statement. God so loved the world (and loved us so much).
He sent His Son to save us from our sins and then had to turn His back on His own Son. So why did the Holy Father turn His back?
He cannot see sin or be a part of sin since Almighty God is Holy and Perfect. What do the words imply ‘beyond the edges of God?’ When you think about the gift and realize we have thrown it away without thinking of the consequences to our steps, that is when your heart is ripe to connect with God.
And we take for granted our selfish concerns of life that are so important; that God does not enter the equation during the day or ever for some of us until we are suffering. Then we call on Him, and then God becomes an “old shoe” (excuse the pun) we put on when convenient for us. We do not need our Savior — unless we can make earthly riches whereby, we try to bargain with Almighty God. He is our Creator, and we can never make a bargain with Him. Eternity is the ultimate life to have with Almighty God. Since many folks don’t care about their lives, they miss out on God’s best for his children.
As we go through life, God’s words float through every breath we take and every second of our lives is like musical notes, and we go through life as if it is nothing. We must think about who God is; He is the Triune One who made our lives and the universe. Our existence is to love Jehovah and enjoy life with Him.
The original plan with our ancestors failed, and Jehovah knew this plan of action when He created us. We are God’s creation, and our ancestors Adam and Eve had a choice to make when they sinned in the Garden of Eden. El Shaddai gave the gift of ‘free will’ to choose to love and trust God or to trust man’s desires. We have ‘free will’ today, and we exercise it daily. Our independence to choose heaven or earth cannot be haphazard because Jesus the Messiah had to die for us.
