So I was watching a TV show the other night and something kind of irritated me. One of the characters of the show said it is silly that people believe in an "invisible" God referring to Christianity. I know he is a character on a show and is scripted what to say but that comment is all to prevalent in our American society. Because we are blessed with "peace" in this country and more people than not have "comfortable" lives and the only real "worry" we have is an economic down turn we think we don't need God and that we are good on our own. Sad.
Anyway to believe God is invisible is crazy, He is far from invisible. We stupid humans think that the only things that exist are the things we can see with our eyes. Let me tell you why that is stupid... fart, you smell it? can you see it? does it exist? hummm... Okay don't like that example well here is another one, for you married folk out there explain to me the joy of sex, bet you can't. You know the joy when you have it but you are hard pressed to really get to the root of that joy until you have it yourself. You see in sex ed (if that is what you want to call it) they tell you about the physical interaction between a man and woman but they can never, nor can you, really explain the emotional wonderfulness of sex. The bond between a man and woman that can not be explained and is enjoyed differently if you are a man or if you are a woman.
God is far from stupid, He is 100% the opposite of that. God is wonderful and is the perfect designer. Much like the above mentioned physical act, you can not fully and completely explain the joy of knowing the Creator through Jesus to someone else. You see it is an unexplainable joy. You can see it in others, you can see evidence of it, you can read about it, but until YOU have it you will never ever understand how you can not live without it! The best part about Joy found in Christ is that it will last forever... sorry guys I don't think the above mentioned physical act with your wife will even have that lasting effect but don't worry God's is better!
Back to the invisible God syndrome. What I find funny in a sad way is that the people who believe God is invisible (because they refusing to experience His Joy) and want God to be visible here on Earth at this moment are the very people who would be eternally destroyed if that were to happen. I was reading Hebrews this morning and in Hebrews 12 the last words are: GOD HIMSELF IS FIRE! You see it is funny that people who have not become one with God want to see God thus they would be destroyed. Because if God does not know you, (meaning if you have not accepted Him as your savior and only accepted yourself as your own savior) you will be destroyed. God does not want people who don't want Him and he needs to make room for those that do. It is crazy how people fear evil, the devil, and murderous humans. However NONE of those can ever destroy you, did you hear me, not even the devil has the power to destroy you! Why do you think God says to fear Him? God made you (or allowed you to be made, that is another discussion) He is the only one who has power to save you or destroy you. Humans are Stupid to run around thinking themselves great, you can not destroy or save yourself, and they try to hide from God by thinking God is "invisible". You see that God you don't think exists is doing you a great favor by shielding Himself from you at the moment. God is not hidden. He is present in Spirit because that is the only way our frail dying bodies can experience Him. He knows this, that is why he is not fully present. No Human eye can ever see God in his full form or we will be destroyed by his Fire! We see Him in full form when we enter His kingdom by the Grace and Mercy of Jesus the Christ.
People want a world without Evil. Well it exists, not here, but through Jesus it exists. Those who enter that kingdom do so through death by the Grace of Jesus. This World will be destroyed by the coming of God, fear not skeptics it is coming. But your job right now is to be ready. Get ready by knowing God. If you shut up, quite down, listen, and ASK you will hear, see, and experience God. He will enter you through Spirit and you will experience the Joy that can not be explained only experienced!
AMEN
