How Can I Know the Truth?

How Can I Know the Truth?

How Can I Know the Truth?

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

God speaks through Scripture.

“But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” (2 Corinthians 3:14-16)

The human mind tries to analyze Scripture. What’s the answer?

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)

Ask Him. He will tell you things you didn’t previously know.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” (Psalm 19:1-2)

“Because that which is known of God is revealed among them, for God revealed it to them, for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable.” (Romans 1:19-20)

God speaks through His creation if you listen.

“For you are all able to prophesy one by one, so that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.” (1 Corinthians 14:31)

God speaks through prophecy and ALL can prophesy.

“flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in the heavens.” (Matthew 16:17)

How did Peter know? It wasn’t the brilliance of Peter. A moment later, in Matthew 16:23, Satan spoke through Peter. If we whole-heartedly seek God, God will give us discernment to know the difference.

These are some of the ways God speaks, but God isn’t limited. Open your mind to God. Direct your thoughts toward Him and receiving from Him.

Ask God to answer these questions.
Even today, religious people have the veil of the flesh. For you, how does turning to Christ remove the veil as you read Scripture?
Why is your human mind insufficient for fully understanding Scripture or anything else?
Jeremiah 33:3 encourages you to seek direct communication with God. How do you do this?
Peter recognized Jesus as the Christ in Matthew 16:17 but was influenced by Satan in Matthew 16:23. What does this teach you about spiritual insight?
How can you keep your mind open to God’s voice and cultivate a receptive heart toward His guidance?
Bonus questions:

What does it mean that all Scripture is God-breathed?
How does God speak through creation?
You should ask God and He will tell you “great and unsearchable things” (Jeremiah 33:3). How has fear kept you from asking God?
What does it mean that “all may prophesy” (1 Corinthians 14:31)?
How can you open your mind to God and receive more from Him?
What will happen when you come into God’s presence, listen to His voice, and yield to His Spirit continually?

God does indeed speak, but how does God speak?

God does indeed speak, but how does God speak?

God does indeed speak, but how does God speak?

God speaks. But how does God speak? Some people say, “If God speaks at all, God only speaks through the Bible.” That’s not true. And yet, God does speak through the Bible. God speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible. He leads, teaches, and corrects every person who follows Him. Others have said God speaks primarily through the Bible, but the Bible doesn’t say that either. The Bible does say God can’t lie and He’s all-knowing and the Bible was written by Him through people. That means you can trust what God says through the Bible, and no revelation will ever conflict with the Bible. It means the Bible will never conflict with itself. The trouble isn’t with the Bible. The trouble arises with rationalized interpretations of the Bible.

Sometimes, we forget to listen to God, or we don’t believe Him. Sometimes, we forget to follow Him, but His plan is that we would come so close to Him that we never forget. God’s will is that we always stay in His presence listening to His voice and yielding to His power for righteousness.

God speaks to people in various ways, both directly and indirectly. When the Father speaks, He always speaks the Living Word. The Living Word is God, and Jesus Christ is the Living Word. Think about that. Ask God to explain it to you. God speaks through the Holy Spirit Who flows from the Father and Jesus. John 16:13 says, “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.” The Holy Spirit is always present. We must learn to seek His presence and yield to His power for righteousness. According to Scripture, here are some of the primary ways God communicates:

Through the Bible (Scripture)
Through Conversations with God
Through the Holy Spirit directly
Through Creation
Through Circumstances
Through People when they are Speaking by the Holy Spirit
Through Visions and Dreams
Through Inner Peace or Conviction
Through Signs and Wonders
Through Conscience or Intuition
Through Angels
Through Prophecy
Through a Word of Wisdom or a Word of Knowledge
Discernment of Spirits
Tongues and Interpretation of Tongues

Ask God to answer these questions:

Some people believe God speaks only through the Bible. What does the Bible say about this belief?
What role does the Holy Spirit play in guiding you into all truth?
How can you make sure you’re staying in God’s presence and yielding to His power for righteousness?
How is Jesus Christ, the Living Word, different from Scripture?
How do different ways God communicates to you like visions, dreams, or prophecy, fit in with what the Bible says?

Bonus questions:

How should you respond to someone who claims to have heard from God in ways that seem unbiblical?
How should you respond to someone who claims to have heard from God when the Holy Spirit doesn’t tell you that what they say is true?
How should you respond to someone who claims to have heard from God in ways that conflict with the way God spoke to you?

THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)

Yes. Christian Kids are healing the sick in Jesus Name.

You recognized your new identity in Christ and the authority and responsibility God has given you.
You invited God’s presence and stood in God’s Presence listening to His voice.
When you heard God’s leading, faith came and a greater authority came with that faith.
This is the final step or executing the power of grace to solve the problem.

Some people think of grace as forgiveness. A dictionary may say it’s kindness or courtesy. God’s grace is power to do God’s will. Do what God leads you to do by the power of God’s grace. Whenever God leads you in anything, He is giving you authority in that thing. You must pray His words His way as He leads you in the moment. His words will come from your mouth if you can yield yourself to His Spirit. You might even call it prophetic prayer. Receive it from Him and His faith will be in you for the work. He will give you a vision of hope. God’s hope is absolute. It’s not the hope-so hope of the world.  It’s an absolute vision of what God intends to do. Don’t try to define what this vision will be like. It may even come in a feeling, a word, or an intuition. Yield yourself to God’s Spirit and the power of His grace to do the healing, and follow the direction He is giving you.

Every time you listen to God’s voice instead of your own carnal mind and yield to His Spirit to do His work His way by His power, you are dying to self and living to Him. The old man dies away, and the New Man comes alive more completely. Think of it as an even exchange: God’s wisdom for your foolishness.

Ask God to answer these questions:

How is God’s grace different from kindness or courtesy?
How do you know when God is leading you to do something?
What does it mean for you to pray God’s words His way?
What is a prophetic prayer?
How can God’s faith be in you for work?

Bonus Questions:

What is a vision of hope?
Why is God’s hope different from the kind of hope the world has?
How can you yield to God’s Spirit?
What does it mean for you to follow the direction God is giving you?

God’s Presence, Leading, Authority, and Power

God’s Presence, Leading, Authority, and Power

God’s Presence, Leading, Authority, and Power

(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)

1. The first step was to be aware of your identity in Christ and the awesome authority and responsibility you have as one who now has your identity in Christ.

2. Invite God’s Presence. Just ask the Spirit of God to come. You might start by praising God and thanking Him for all that He is doing for you. He inhabits the praises of His people. You have Christ in you all the time, but you also sense God’s Presence getting stronger at times. You sense the flow of His Anointing. His Presence is His Essence. It’s the same as His Glory. It’s Who He Is. He doesn’t always feel the same. Sometimes, you feel like you’re being moved by a warm flowing stream. Sometimes, it’s electric or peaceful or a sense of power. Those are just some examples, but you’ll know it’s Him. When you invite Him, He comes. For now, these moments of surging power may be temporary, but God wants you in His Presence every moment.

3. Look to God for leading in what to pray for, what is the hidden problem, how to pray, or is anything else needed to overcome in the situation. Faith comes by hearing God’s leading. Authority comes with faith. Healing, as with everything else, isn’t done independently of God. This isn’t a New Age Occult method. You are taking your authority and power that you have in Christ under the direction of the Holy Spirit. It’s impossible to know how God will lead in each situation, and God can pinpoint the root cause. The root cause may be physical. It may be an attack by a spirit. It may be an emotional wound. It might be something else that must be removed or changed first.

4. Ask God to show you any strongholds. Ask if demons are involved, and, if so, what would allow a demon to get a foothold: idols, bitterness, anger, negative emotions, unforgiveness, pride, offenses, trauma, etc. First deal with the issue, then the demon, then the healing.

5.The next step will be to allow God to work through you by the power of His grace in you.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean for you to invite God’s Presence?
What is a hidden problem or stronghold?
How does God show you that you have a problem or stronghold?
How can you stay in God’s Presence all the time?
How do you know what God wants you to pray for?

Bonus Questions:

Other than the fruit of the Spirit, are there other ways you can know for certain you’re sensing God’s Presence?
How do demons get a foothold in someone’s life?
Why is it good to deal with an issue as soon you know about it?
How does God show you the root cause of a problem?

STRONGHOLDS IN YOUR SOUL

STRONGHOLDS IN YOUR SOUL

STRONGHOLDS IN YOUR SOUL

(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)

You have tremendous authority in Christ. Strongholds are things that can stand in the way of you taking authority in Christ according to God’s will. Rather than following a system or check list, you must ask God what He wants to do. Various kinds of strongholds exist:

Bad ideas:

  • These may be doctrines, philosophies, worldviews, preconceived ideas, presuppositions, attitudes, etc.
  • Ask God to reveal any lies you believe. Reject them. Ask God to show you the truth. Receive it.

Failure to take Authority:

  • Not understanding your authority in Christ
  • Stand in God’s presence.
  • Let God assure you of your authority and responsibility.

Doubt:

  • Stand in the presence of God and listen to His voice.
  • Ask God to strengthen your faith.
  • Remember the times God has done things for you.
  • Get together with Christians who encourage you.
  • Failure to speak the words God has given you.
  • Failure to stand in God’s Presence and Glory.

Demonic Interference or Attacks:

  • Demons must be cast out.
  • The Scriptural pattern is to tell them to leave.
  • They must obey the Christ in you.
  • They have no power over you.
  • You may have to persist because demons are not obedient.

Past or Present Spiritual Injury can cause strongholds:

A few Examples:

  • unforgiveness
  • emotional trauma
  • bitterness
  • anger
  • hate
  • curses
  • agreements with negativity
  • dogmatism
  • rebellion against God or God’s authority
  • guilt
  • impulses
  • habit-thoughts
  • griefs
  • sorrows
  • negative emotion

What you can do about an event from the past that causes a strong negative reaction when you think of it.

  1. Identify the emotion, impulse, etc. you feel
  2. Reject it.
  3. Ask Jesus to take it from you.
  4. Ask Jesus to heal the wounds in your soul.
  5. Focus on the Spirit of Christ, and allow the Glory of God’s Presence to fill the place where the negative issue was living.
  6. Tell Jesus you receive His healing.
  7. Recall the event. You should sense the Glory of God’s Presence. If any negative emotions persist, repeat the steps above.

Ask God to answer these questions:

  1. Why do demons have to leave when you tell them to in Jesus’ name?
  2. How do you know if you have a stronghold in your life?
  3. What does it mean to take authority in Christ?
  4. How do you ask Jesus to heal wounds in your soul?
  5. What is the Glory of God’s Presence?

Bonus Questions:

  1. Why should you tell Jesus you receive His healing?
  2. What does it mean for you to stand in God’s Presence?
  3. What is a stronghold?
  4. How do you know what words God wants you to say?
  5. How can you stop feeling things like anger or bitterness?

APOLOGETICS: Is it effective?

APOLOGETICS: Is it effective?

APOLOGETICS: Is it effective?

We need God. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. He leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him.

You are likely to have conversations with atheists and skeptics who love to argue. Christians have developed complex ways to argue using logic, science, and philosophy. It’s called apologetics. Apologetics today focuses on these four areas:

The historical evidence for Jesus’ resurrection
The logical necessity of a Creator
The moral argument for God
The reliability of Scripture without giving an absolute reason to believe in the reliability of Scripture.

Some even say the merely presuppose that the Bible is the Word of God without error. That’s about as weak as any argument could be.

WHAT THEY ARE MISSING

Most apologists don’t talk about personal revelation because they’re trying to be credible to unbelievers using shared, “objective” reasoning. They fail to point out that the human mind isn’t capable of “objective reasoning.” There’s no such thing as “objective reasoning” for humans. The human mind can’t reason to truth, and it can’t be objective.

This is the difference between knowing ABOUT God and knowing God.

As a result, these apologists are trying to fight against the secular world by fitting into the secular world. While intellectual defense has its place, knowing Christ personally is the only thing that truly transforms lives. Most apologists are trying to fit into the world to compel the worldly people to come out of the world. However, the message of Christianity becomes incomplete and internally inconsistent when personal revelation is left out. The true defense of the Gospel — the one that reaches the heart — is the life of Christ revealed in us, which no argument can replace.

Much of the problems Christian apologists are having has come out of the idolatry surrounding the human intellect. Intellectualism is the exaltation of the human mind. It’s makes the human mind into a sort of a false god. The Bible makes it clear that the human mind can’t be trusted. It’s deceitful and desperately wicked. Even secularists know the human mind can’t reason to truth, and rational thought is impossible without truth. Of course, secularists refuse to deal with that problem because it destroys the basis of secularism and intellectualism. But intellectualism has crept into Christian education. Theologians depend on their intellects rather than seeking revelation from Christ. Rather than following Christ, they follow their carnal mind’s interpretation of the Bible. This leads to dry Christianity that has no life or power along with terrible errors in thinking.

The skeptic loves to argue with those who leave God out, but they react when you tell them that you know Jesus Christ exists because you know Jesus. They might even stoop to ridicule, which is childish. They use silly arguments because they have no answer to your experience. You can tell them they can have their own experience and “check it out for themselves.”  You can tell your friends about your experiences with Christ. Be led by the Holy Spirit. Only say what the Holy Spirit gives you to say.

God says everyone already knows He exists, and no one has any excuse. God says ungodly people don’t want Him ruling over them. Some aren’t totally hardened against God. Those who are hardened will fight the fact that nothing can be known without divine revelation. Once they realize they are limited to bare claims or logical fallacies like circular reasoning or an infinite regression of unproved proofs, they will try to say Christians are in the same boat. They will imply that you can’t know for certain God is speaking to you. Then, they will say that they are somehow immune to the weakness of the human mind. In other words, they reverse reality with no rational explanation except for strong emotion. Keep in mind that many skeptics are under the control of demonic forces. Don’t be discouraged. When you face opposition or persecution, look to Jesus. He will guide your words and actions.

Ask God to answer these questions.
Why do you need God?
What is wisdom?
Why do some people fight the fact that God is real?
Why shouldn’t you tell others about God unless you know God?
How do you tell someone about how Christ leads you?

Bonus questions:

How can Jesus help you when you meet people who don’t believe in Him?
Why is it important for you to know that all wisdom and knowledge are hidden in God?
Why do skeptics get upset when you tell them about how Jesus Christ speaks to you?

The Munchausen trilemma destroys all ungodly reasoning and science.

The Munchausen trilemma destroys all ungodly reasoning and science.

The Munchausen trilemma destroys all ungodly reasoning and science.

The Munchausen trilemma destroys all ungodly logic, philosophy, and science. Human beings can’t reason to truth. When we try, we just rationalize. We think irrationally and use logical fallacies to trick ourselves into thinking we’re being rational. Without God, logic, philosophy, and science are built on assumptions. An assumption is something someone makes up and treats as if it were real.

If you ever heard anyone say, “All things are relative,” or “There are no absolutes,” this is where those ideas come from. The ungodly thinker who claims all things are relative is claiming everyone has the same problem. And that claim isn’t true. Everyone does not have the same problem.

Godless thinkers don’t want to acknowledge this limitation on their thinking. They choose to deny the fact that they have eliminated the only path they had to rational thinking. They convince themselves that they’re being rational. They have tried every way to get around this problem, and they can’t find a way without God. They don’t want God.

Here’s the simple answer to the problem. To know anything, you have to know Someone Who knows all things, can’t lie, and has all power to overcome the deceptive lying nature of the fallen human mind. That Person is Jesus Christ, and you can know Him. He speaks to every person. If it weren’t for Christ, we would be stuck, but we can ask Him questions, and He answers us.

Someone may say, “I have to go to work and concentrate on my job, so I can’t spend my time listening for the leading of God.” If you have to think and make decisions, why wouldn’t you want the only Source of all wisdom and knowledge with you? Without Jesus, you have no wisdom, and that’s not good.

Do you have the habit of working on your own without Jesus leading you? Habits are hard to break. Ask God to help you learn a new habit. Learn to flow in the Anointing of God’s wisdom everywhere you go. Get in the habit of flowing in His love. Practice His Presence and let His glory carry you to higher heights and deeper depths.

Ask God to answer these questions.
What does “all things are relative” mean?
What is an assumption?
Why can’t you reason to truth without God?
How does Jesus let you know the truth?
Why is it important for you to have Jesus’ wisdom when you make decisions?

Bonus questions:

How can you learn to listen for God’s guidance in your life?
How can your dependence on God make your life better?

Atheists can’t find a way around this problem in their thinking

Atheists can't find a way around this problem in their thinking

Atheists can’t find a way around this problem in their thinking

The human mind is extremely limited. The human mind can’t reason to truth. Agrippa the Skeptic discovered this 2,000 years ago. A German nobleman named Hieronymus Karl Friedrich von Münchhausen who lived from 1720 to 1797 is said to have also talked about the problem, although that isn’t confirmed. The trilemma is often called the Munchausen Trilemma because, in 1785, Rudolf Erich Raspe wrote about a fictional character based the German nobleman. In Raspe’s book, Baron Munchausen claimed to pull himself out of the swamp by his beard. The idea of the Baron pulling himself out the swamp by his beard is a funny way of showing how silly it is to believe the human mind can pull itself out of the proverbial swamp of irrational thinking. Hans Albert formalized the Trilemma in 1975, describing the impossibility for humans to provide rational justification for any truth claim. We can rationalize and argue, but we can’t prove anything to ourselves or each other. The trilemma refers to the fact that every attempt to prove a statement leads to one of three unsatisfactory outcomes:

Infinite regress (each proof requires another, and this continues indefinitely). Logic has made a phenomenal goof. When it offers proof, there’s no proof of the proof.
Circular reasoning (the conclusion is based on premises that require the conclusion itself). Here’s an example: “We know these fossils are millions of years old because they are in rock layers that are millions of years old, and we know the rock layers are millions of years old because the fossils in them are millions of years old.”
Axiomatic assumption (an assertion is accepted without proof, as a self-evident truth). Here’s an example: “Evolution is a fact. It just is.”

This is why ungodly thinkers can’t think rationally. Skeptics have been trying in vain to find a way around this problem for thousands of years. They haven’t found anything that helps them justify their godless thinking. Today, they try to dismiss this problem by using irrational and laughable fallacies. Rational thought is based on truth. His name is Jesus. ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. You have no path to wisdom, knowledge, or truth without Him.

Ask God to answer these questions:
What is every human mind limited by?
Why is Jesus the only source of all wisdom and knowledge for anyone?
Why can’t your mind reason to truth on its own?
Why can’t you prove things to yourself?
Why do you need divine revelation?

Bonus questions:

Agrippa the Skeptic was right about the limitations of the human mind. What did He miss?
Rational thought is based on truth. Why?
What is the human mind and the human soul and the human heart?
What does infinite regress mean?
What is circular reasoning?
What does axiomatic assumption mean?

The Bible says God speaks, but we knew that.

The Bible says God speaks, but we knew that.

The Bible says God speaks, but we knew that.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Everyone who keeps seeking Jesus finds Jesus. Jesus leads, teaches, and corrects every person who follows Him. Even though you must seek Him, He speaks His love to you so you want to seek Him. If anything is good, God started it. If there’s any wisdom, God is the Source of that wisdom. Agrippa the skeptic explained why the human mind can’t reason to knowledge, and godless thinkers have been trying to find a way around this for thousands of years. All knowledge is hidden in Christ, and He is the truth. Christ is the Word and the Light that lights every person who comes into the world. He even gives wisdom and knowledge to atheists, but they refuse to thank Him. When they refuse to thank Him, they begin to lose the distinction between the wisdom and knowledge God gives them and their own inner self-talk. Eventually, they accept the voices of demons and they can’t tell the difference between good and evil.

We know God speaks by experience with God, but the Scripture tells us God speaks. We don’t know much, but here’s some of what we know. God is sane and always tells the truth. He cannot lie. He cannot be inconsistent. That means He will never tell you anything that conflicts with the Bible. He speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible, but He isn’t limited to the Bible when He speaks. He can give you personal direction. He already has given you personal direction even if you haven’t been aware of it. Any wisdom or knowledge you have comes from Him.

Your Transformation Journey by Grace through Faith isn’t a random journey. It’s very specific. You aren’t looking for a spiritual experience or just any old voice to guide you. You want The Creator God. You want Jesus Christ. There are many voices in the world, and there are many spirits, but there is only one Holy Spirit of God. And God promises that you will find Him and only Him if you seek Him and only Him. That’s why imaginary friends or spirit guides are so dangerous. They seem like fun until they aren’t fun. Jesus isn’t an imaginary friend. He is real and genuine. He is the Truth and the Life.

Ask God to answer these questions:

How do you seek Jesus now other than this devotional?
What does it mean to you that God is the Source of all wisdom?
What is your mind missing when it tries to reason without God?
What is the difference between Jesus and an imaginary friend?
How do you know God speaks?

Bonus questions:

Why is it important that you seek only the Holy Spirit?
What does it mean to you that God cannot lie?
How does Jesus speak His love to you?
Why does God speak to people who don’t believe in Him?
How can you know if you’re hearing from God or just your own thoughts?
What does it mean that Jesus is the Word and the Light?

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Jesus is the Light, and He gives light to every person, even atheists.

Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.” (John 18:37). He said, “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father” (Matthew 4:4). He said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27) and “Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God” (John 8:47)

John wrote about Jesus and said, “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:9-12). Here’s some guidance from the Law: “You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you” (Deuteronomy 4:2).

Jesus is the Light, and He gives light to everyone. Some people acknowledge Jesus, and He directs their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Others refuse to acknowledge Jesus, and they go into darkness. (Romans 1:19-32) The reason they go into darkness is that the human mind is useless, deceptive, and evil without God. Without God, the human mind is Godless. The human mind can’t reason to truth, and rational thought must be based on truth. Every secular method of reasoning depends on axioms, which are unproven and unprovable statements that are accepted as fact without evidence. Without truth, rational thought is impossible. Without God, truth is impossible.

God created everything by speaking. He spoke the world into existence.

God speaks to you because that’s how He starts things. He won’t force Himself on you, but He needs you to cooperate with Him. He asks you to look for Him and find Him. Everyone who keeps seeking God finds God.

Ask God to answer these questions.
What does it mean for you to “belong to the truth”?
How can you hear God’s voice more clearly than you do now?
How can you help a friend to look for and find God?
Since Jesus gives light to everyone and all wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him, what does that tell you about an atheist who has wisdom or knowledge on a certain subject? (Note that although much of what ungodly intellectuals and experts say is false, they are right sometimes.)
Why do some people not acknowledge Jesus?
Bonus questions:

What does it mean that God created everything by speaking?
Why does God ask you to cooperate with Him?
What does it mean for you to cooperate with God?
Why does the Bible say the human mind is evil without God?
What happens to people who continue to refuse to acknowledge Jesus?
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.
