So true. And that is why I believe most people who are real truth seekers will eventually find their way to God. It's inevitable. If you honestly want to know the truth, you will question things and seek Him. And those who seek, find. Glad you found Him, fren.
All my life there were people trying to convince me to believe in God. Oddly, no one bothered to take the time to ask me if I wanted to believe in God. Once I decided that I wanted to believe, behold, there he was. I believe. Bless you fren.
That is so interesting. Thank you for making that point. It's invaluable! I took for granted that everybody wants to know God, therefore they all want to believe in Him. However, you hit on a great point. There are no doubt some people whose hearts have become so hardened, that they don't even want to believe. That explains a lot to me in my personal evangelical efforts. Thank you for illuminating something that I did not previously see. Many blessings to you, fren.
Or you have people like me who grew up in a liberal non-religious family who prided themselves on being too "smart" to believe in God. It depends on your conditioning when you were young and impressionable.
I've known for over a decade that what people call "God" is actual the Universal Consciousness - not an old man with a white beard (that's Santa Claus).
I don't think Universal Consciousness created the heavens and the earth. It might be responsible for making people aware of God and Him having done so.
Ask and it shall be given unto you, pressed down, shaken together and pouring over.
The word Ask in Greek is aiteo (sp). It means to ask with the confidence the thing asked for is already yours. As in going to a bank and ask8ng for your money. An asking/demand for your money. Demand is not meant in our traditional way. A demand biblicaly is something that is recognized by the giver. As in telling your child. After your nap I'll give you a cookie, I promise. Just think about the way your child believes you when they come looking for their momma to fulfill that promise.
What's available, how to receive it Nd what to do with it once you have it.
The three things yku need to know before you ask God. Need health, there are promises, prosperity, there are promises, peace, strength etc. God has promised.
Over 900 promises in the Bible for God's born again ones. Ask and know God is faithful to do what he has promised. You simply have to know what the promise is.
There more to his prayer but undoubtedly it’s a lot that he’s praying for. And as Jesus knows your heart, this fellas prayer was spot on. Because God knows what he’s praying for and he’s asking. And it’s ok to ask. I used to not feel that way. Glad I was shown different.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
As u begin your awakening early u think " Oh wow I knew nothing, but I am learning so much ", but depending on how deep u go, somewhere down the line u accept " I've now learned I knew even less than I thought I did & entered a class that has no graduation date ". We're just lifetime students of an ever changing game. I pray someday we all can just " be " instead of constantly having to play.
When i was young I didn't believe or disbelieve. I was indifferent because I had nothing to relate God's existence to. I, a lot like you, discovered that God is in fact real through my search for truth. I asked God, the universe, whoever was listening to please put all the BS aside and show me the truth of this world. That I could handle it and I just want to know.
My prayer was answered in a huge and profound way.
We are all fantastic beings made of light. The people who deny God do not realize they are denying themselves. We are NOTHING without God. And that's no metaphor. We exist entirely within the mind of Yahweh, and we are creatures of Mind. The fleshy cage is a joke, we ourselves were never born and can never die, for we are of the Living God. [Your Name Here] does not exist, and can never die as they were never born. Death is an illusion and a joke, there is nothing but love & paradise outside of this place, but we are here to increase our understanding of the infinite power of God. No one exists outside of God. Nothing exists outside of God. To not know the ever-present nature of God is to not understand the pouring of water or the falling of a leaf. We have bound ourselves into these weak, slow bodies to truly understand our power, the power we possess which originates not from no human capability but from the infinite perfect nature of our true existence with God. From God we came and to God we return, just as the body is bound to the dust God raised it from. The great Unmade is the only Maker. Your eyes may look but only God can see, know and understand, for we exist entirely within the mind of God. For all of humanity there is but one Mind, and that is the Mind of God. Do not diminish your Power by surrendering even one inch to the Faker, which God also created as the agent of Chaos to test us. The reality of God is so hopelessly complicated, interdimensional and the more you learn about the nature of God the less life as we live it on Earth makes any sense. For the science-minded person, the truth is out there. Myself I pushed and pushed until I reached the Truth, the great and terrifying wonderful Truth which wonderfully showed me the scope of what we are dealing with and exactly how fake our entire lives are in comparison to God-level existence. When you are in your meditation, your prayer, your DMT or Ayahuasca trip, your infinite mind comes flooding back to you and you perceive the clearly impossible to perceive or even dream. You will see the fantastic things of God and a place much more beautiful than this place, existing in a dimension beyond our own. However, it is much better to put your faith in God and live a good, honest, loving & pure life than it is to live through the entirety of Dr. Strange. So I encourage all believers to be comfortable, secure & happy in their faith, and I am active in my church. Truth be told, you don't need church, but it helps people. The Lord your God is already inside of your Mind which exists entirely separate from your brain. The Mind's control of the brain is like a puppeteer, completely safe from the events of the cute miniature stage we call Earth. This is why it doesn't matter if anyone arrives to tell the folks completely disconnected from the world on an island about Jesus; God's got them.
My oldest is 30. They didn't have TV until he prayed for one one day during family prayer. A Curtis mathes console was offered to us a few days later. So... God got them a TV. I didn't tell them about cable because I didn't want them praying for it. So I got an old beta machine with about 100 old movies including every James bond up to that point and we worked three old beta tapes out. God was faithful to a 6 year Olds prayer. All we watched were those old movies. Also had everything John Wayne had done.
Just saw a Hollywood replica of a city set in 1870s. Typical western boom town looking. Mud, wooden structures, horses buggies and greybskys. Actual picture a full city built if brick and mortar. Some of rhe home at least 100 years old already.
former catholic, current agnostic, I want to believe in a God, regardless, I'm all for Christians and would like to find a Christian lady who wants to spend the rest of our lives converting me :P
But still, screw the catholic church and this demon pope.
Look up what Ann Barnhardt has to say about Bergoglio. There are many at the highest level of the Church that agree with her. Personally, I'm planning to become Orthodox.
Here's what I've discovered on my spiritual journey.
You are not your body or mind.
You are the spark, a conciousness, a soul, these things belong to God. Because this is God's gift to you, satan is always in your thoughts, always talking to you, trying to corrupt the shit out of you.
So pay attention to being in control of your own thoughts and always have no hate in your heart.
Kind of ties back to the tree of knowledge where Eve ate from. After Adam and Eve did that, then satan have always been a pain in our side.
Was surprised to read that demons recognized Jesus as the Son of God (even when Pharisees and Sadducees did not.)
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice,
34 “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
36 All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!”
I'm still a non-believer, but I prefer the company of Christians above anyone else these days. At least with Christians they believe I can be redeemed, and my path of redemption only requires I submit to a single, unearthly authority. With leftists, I cannot be redeemed, and my existence can only be tolerated through constant submission to hordes of ingrates drunk on their own hubris.
Congratulations! You are just beginning to really live. I wasted 12 years of my life thinking I was an atheist before I admitted there was The Father at the age of 32 and that was over 40 years ago. Proper prayer make all the difference in living, but unfortunately it’s not taught in church. Jesus did explain it properly in Matthew 6:5-13 KJV. Analysis is required to understand why there are only commands used, no please or can I, etc.
Agnostic and knowing everything in one sentence..... Like your approach.
But eh.... Famous words were once spoken:
we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.
I used to trust Fox News, for the most part, but started noticing wokeism creeping in during the Trump Admin. Then, watching election night 2020 shenanigans was like getting a TKO. Breathlessly calling Arizona for Biden before the counts were in, in spite of Trump already being substantially ahead, was like getting splashed in the face with ice water......I woke up to them, and haven't watched them since.
So true. And that is why I believe most people who are real truth seekers will eventually find their way to God. It's inevitable. If you honestly want to know the truth, you will question things and seek Him. And those who seek, find. Glad you found Him, fren.

I don't think Universal Consciousness created the heavens and the earth. It might be responsible for making people aware of God and Him having done so.
I think the Holy Spirit is a closer representation to what people call "universal consciousness." But it's just another aspect of God.
Congratulations on figuring it all out OP..!
The Book of Souls?
Source energy
True. But that is, in a way, another form of not 'wanting' to believe.
You have to open that door….Good that you did.
When it's boiled down God IS THE ONLY SOURCE FOR TRUTH. All other is either wrong or they got their knowledge from God.
I hope we get to have an anon party in heaven.
I wonder if Pepe himself will there to greet us!
See you there!

Welcome home brother
Same with me, Pede. Born and raised as an atheist. Found God 9 years ago. Or He found me.
Intelligence
Not because u think u know everything without questioning, but rather u question everything u think u know.

Just when I think there can't be more... there is. And I find myself ignorant again.
Ignorance - most people have it wrong.

Welcome home, fren
Bro I was a satanist and socialist. The grace of God and blood of Jesus rescued me just in time. Agreed on all counts. Welcome to the correct side.
(Edited to remove upper case from satanist. It deserves no capitalization. FUCK satan.)
Word!
What is WCSWIS?

God told us to humble ourselves. Jesus told us HE is the way, the TRUTH and the life.
what made you suddenly start believing in god? I'm still agnostic tbh.
This is what is called a foxhole conversion. There have been many. It's a sure sign we are at war in both the physical and spiritual realms.

TV is fake and gay
And always has been
My dad strictly limited TV in our house. He said: "TV makes you stupid". I'm thankful for that.
My oldest is 30. They didn't have TV until he prayed for one one day during family prayer. A Curtis mathes console was offered to us a few days later. So... God got them a TV. I didn't tell them about cable because I didn't want them praying for it. So I got an old beta machine with about 100 old movies including every James bond up to that point and we worked three old beta tapes out. God was faithful to a 6 year Olds prayer. All we watched were those old movies. Also had everything John Wayne had done.
This is the way!

Shady as fuck.
I was on Truth Social and have never seen such fighting over religion among believers. Welcome to the sifting process brother or sister.
Lol. Isn’t that the general theme of history?
On truth social?
I won't fight over it. I'll just type "for it is written". If that doesn't do it nothing will.
God is the only way.
That warms my heart! When ever you get a chance watch the total onslaught series by Walter veith.
former catholic, current agnostic, I want to believe in a God, regardless, I'm all for Christians and would like to find a Christian lady who wants to spend the rest of our lives converting me :P
But still, screw the catholic church and this demon pope.
Look up what Ann Barnhardt has to say about Bergoglio. There are many at the highest level of the Church that agree with her. Personally, I'm planning to become Orthodox.
It certainly looks like the way to go. I checked one out about a year ago.
Here's what I've discovered on my spiritual journey.

Well Met and Succinct
I am an atheist. And I sincerely believe that demons are real.
Read Luke 4 yesterday.
https://www.biblestudytools.com/luke/4.html
Was surprised to read that demons recognized Jesus as the Son of God (even when Pharisees and Sadducees did not.)
I’d love to learn more about how you believe the universe, life, and demons, came to be.
That’s about the size of it. Good summary.
I'm still a non-believer, but I prefer the company of Christians above anyone else these days. At least with Christians they believe I can be redeemed, and my path of redemption only requires I submit to a single, unearthly authority. With leftists, I cannot be redeemed, and my existence can only be tolerated through constant submission to hordes of ingrates drunk on their own hubris.
Former agnostic here as well.. God is good!
Congratulations! You are just beginning to really live. I wasted 12 years of my life thinking I was an atheist before I admitted there was The Father at the age of 32 and that was over 40 years ago. Proper prayer make all the difference in living, but unfortunately it’s not taught in church. Jesus did explain it properly in Matthew 6:5-13 KJV. Analysis is required to understand why there are only commands used, no please or can I, etc.
Praying DS 26 will make the same discovery.
God is love.
Do unto others as you would have done to you.
Golden Rule
Agnostic and knowing everything in one sentence..... Like your approach.
But eh.... Famous words were once spoken:
we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.
Indeed.
They key is to differ between what is known bandy the ego mind what is known by different means.
The Rumsfeld quote is basically pertaining to what the ego mind can know.
I used to trust Fox News, for the most part, but started noticing wokeism creeping in during the Trump Admin. Then, watching election night 2020 shenanigans was like getting a TKO. Breathlessly calling Arizona for Biden before the counts were in, in spite of Trump already being substantially ahead, was like getting splashed in the face with ice water......I woke up to them, and haven't watched them since.
Our of curiosity, what was the redpill that led you down this path?
The older you get, the more you'll realize that you don't know shit and you never did.
