Convictions of his realness

Have you ever wondered to yourself, asked yourself a very straight and no nonsense answer, about your conviction as to why God exist and why he is real, why the God of the bible is truly real?

I thought about it for a while, of course we can always say that

1. The bible says so. The Word of God that convicts
"Oh because the bible says so", and really it does and I wouldn't doubt you. But for someone who doesn't know Christ, they would question the authenticity of the bible and go into a endless battle of nonsense, especially if their the intellectual sort. But to the smartest of them all, like Einstein, they believe in a God, or some kind of higher being, but not necessarily a personal God. And to people like them, this is where the message of the Grace of God is needed to explain the character of God.

But the word of God inside of us is very very powerful! Confirmed by the Holy Spirit, we are Kings and Priests to speak power into our lives. The Bible says so, the word inside us is the foundation of faith. Though the non-believer may not understand, but for us, my conviction is also Word-Based and it must be WORD BASED if not your believing in a lie and not the truth, for the Bible is the truth.

2. Emotions and/or a touch from his Spirit.
How about emotions that God is real? It is A revelation of God's love in your life. I think some and most people in Planetshakers accept Christ because of this. That they had a touch from God during church either during the worship or during the sermon. That a emotion or a spirit fell on them and they just believe in it. And I think there is nothing wrong with it, I think it's AWESOME! But at the same time, thats why you have Christians who continually run from service to another or listen to Christian music continuously to be filled with the spirit of worship and praise to continue to be in the Joy of God. I think there's nothing wrong with it, but I believe there is also another higher way.

What I hate is people who discredit this, and say that this emotions are all fake, and there must be taught the 10 commandments and get all religious. I hate that.

The revelation of his love, that comes in more than just a form of feelings, but also a realization of the truth that just opens up your spiritual eyes and this one is which it will not be taken from you. When words of revelation falls on soft soil. And it changes the whole person into a renewed creation which he would go on to be a great man of God. And wonders, signs and miracles would follow straight after that.

3. The guilty conscience
This personally to me is the worst, but it's neither wrong, just that they have to be brought to Grace right after. Some people accept Christ because they fear Hell, and therefore they want to get right with God again.

But we cannot continue in these once the person has been born again. God condemns you no more of sin once you have accepted Christ. He remembers your sin no MORE! (Hebrews 8:12) Now that you have, you should be pursuing the Christian life which is to live in VICTORY. To continue looking at Jesus and not at ourselves and our ex-sin-filled lives.

4. Miracles and Signs of wonders.
I don't know why traditional Christians write this off. But the early church brought thousands to Christ by Signs and Wonders healing the sick and casting out demons. This is also why Charismatic and Pentecostal churches are harvesting in millions all over the world to the cause of Christ. There has never been such a powerful movement of God, and it's moving stronger and stronger going around the world!

Never ever brush of Miracles, signs and wonders because it's not intellectual enough to fill your head. It is the spirit of religiousity, that the Pharisees, Saducees, Scribes see Jesus did great wonders yet still Put Jesus on to the Cross.

I personally think this is probably one of my strongest convictions. And without it, the Christian life is dry, boring, it's a religion. I like what Pastor Bill Johnson says, that he doesn't want what the world is able to replicate, he wants something that only truly it has to be God made and perfected. Not some occult or the world can replicate. But a true miracle that it HAS to be only God.

And the best part is that it starts off in faith and the revelation of God's love that he has redeemed me and he wants me to live the abundant life. That You believe it first, and then you receive. Planting it like a seed, and then it grows and then manifest into reality!

5. The Seeds of Abraham
The Jews and the Arabs. But mostly the Jews. Their existence and blessings alone is a evidence that God is alive and he Exists. And the best part, is that we are inheritors of the blessings of Abraham!

I'm trying to think of anymore of the convictions that I believe that he exists.
But I'll stop at here, because this is what I can conjure up for the moment.
