When God Speaks

vangeLeave a comment

Whether you are Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, agnostic, atheist, etc. , God can or will speak to anyone. The Lord’s reach is not limited to a certain group of people, but if you hear from God, how do you know that it’s really God?

I just heard a story on the 700 club about a Muslim lady who became and atheist. She went through many hardships that she stopped believing in God. When she got to a point where she felt like killing herself, she kept hearing, “come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” She ended up sharing what she kept hearing to her Christian friend at work and her friend opened up the Bible and showed her that what her Muslim friend was hearing, is an actual scripture in the Bible.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28

In can relate to that story because when I was seeking the Lord and I was questioning, God spoke to my heart like he did with the Muslim lady. God would speak to my heart about something, then I would randomly open up the Bible to any page and end up reading a scripture that followed what the Lord was just teaching me.

There is a reason that the Bible is called the Word of God. I know not everyone believes that Jesus is Lord, the Son of God or part of a triune God. It’s hard to understand the three in one idea. The Bible does associate Jesus with God in the first book of John. The Word is Jesus.

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1

It can sound confusing, but essentially, Jesus is the Word and He was with God and Jesus was God. It goes on to creation and the beginning and Jesus or the Word coming into the world. Thus, He did and the first four books of the New Testament are stories that tell mostly about the last years of Jesus before He was crucified. Written by the disciples of Jesus, they have included words directly from Him. In some bibles, these word of His or in red text.

So how does one know when God speaks? Knowing the word of God is a major part of discerning. But one does not have to know the Bible for God to speak to them. There’s this guy named John Ramirez who was a warlock and he heard from Jesus. He heard from the devil everyday until one day he heard the voice of God asking him, “what are you going to go when your time comes?” This guy was adapted to hearing from the devil so when he heard the voice of God, he knew it wasn’t the same voice nor was the atmosphere in his house the same. It ended well and to make a long story short, he gave his heart to God and now he’s bringing many people in the dark, into the light of Christ.

I’ve heard many testimonies of atheist or Muslims who see Jesus in their dreams or who have had near death experiences and have seen or heard from Jesus. People in prison who have had visions of Him and their life gets changed forever.

When I was a practicing Catholic I never even touched the Bible. I thought it was for the older generation to read before meeting their creator. I tried to find flaws in it, but I was missing the big picture. So maybe the Old Testament has a some boring stories in their like the genealogy or the family tree, but if you are discovering the love of God, but having doubts, thinking, “why would God even care about me or know my name?” you might want to read the book of Psalms. There’s plenty of scriptures that reveal His love for us.

How precious are your thoughts about me,* O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

Psalms 139:17-18

Another book to read are the gospels, especially when Jesus gets crucified. That is a show of His love for all man kind. So maybe you feel like the God is speaking to you about something, you may want to check out the Word of God, aka, Bible. It is difficult to flip through pages and find stuff, but there are websites that have searches which make it easier to find things, one good one is Bible Gateway. Searching for the definition of a word in the dictionary is like searching for who God is in the bible.

God loves all.

The Destructive Power of Anti-Matter

Around three-hundred feet underneath the surface between the border of Geneva, Switzerland and France is a 17 mile tunnel with pipes and other scientific equipment built for scientists to explore the most basic components of matter with hope that it can lead to a greater understanding of the big bang.

Inside the tunnel is a make-up of equipment that accelerates particles, known as a nuclear or particle accelerator. There are other particle accelerators in other parts of the world, but not as large as the one in Geneva, known as the Large Hadron Collider or LHC. The European organization and lab known as CERN is a particle physics laboratory used by scientists for Nuclear Research seeking to find what the Universe is made out of and how it works.

They use particles of matter, like hydrogen, which has the smallest atomic mass on the scientific table. The hydrogen atom is made up of one electron with a negative charge circulating around one proton with a positive charge. These opposite charges attract each other. Hydrogen is found in all living things and is used on rockets for fuel as it reacts with oxygen, giving it the power to lift off.

Inside the lab, they take hydrogen atoms, accelerate them in the hadron collider and as they travel in the 17 mile loop faster than the speed of light, they reach a point of collision where the atoms split, creating new matter. This new matter is the opposite of the original hydrogen atom, which scientist have named anti-hydrogen or anti-matter.

The main idea of making anti-matter is just getting enough energy in a collision to allow the particles to be made. If you get electrons going fast enough and throw them at a piece of material called a target, preferably made out of atoms that have a large atomic number, you will have a shower of electrons, positrons and photons.

The newly created anti-hydrogen atom from the collision has a positive electron, also called positrons and a negative proton, also known as anti-proton. This new anti-matter does does not shed light and is very unstable and destructive, unlike matter. Scientist have to trap the anti-matter by means of a magnetic field to keep it from touching any matter around it, otherwise it will explode. Since negative charges are attracted to positive charges, anti-matter will be attracted to matter and when they come into contact, they will annihilate each other, causing an explosion of energy and emitting radiation.

Scientists say that one gram of anti-matter dropped on earth can cause an atomic explosion four times larger than that of Hiroshima. There’s not enough anti-matter produced thus far and it would cost trillions of dollars to produce just one gram. If enough of it can be produced, the energy that is created between matter and anti-matter annihilating each other can lead to new energy as 1 gram of anti-matter is enough to produce to about 180 trillion joules. If it can be contained and controlled, the energy produced can send a rocket into space and travel almost at the speed of light. This may even lead to space travel.

Scientist are puzzled at the fact that there is more matter in the universe than anti-matter, as 1 part in 10 billion. The big bang should have produced equal amounts of each; however, if that were the case, there would be no existence of the universe because anti-matter and matter would annihilate each other into non-existence, as an equal balance of anti-matter and matter equals zero.

These new findings are leading some scientist into believing that there is a spiritual world or another dimension, leaving some feeling like they’re still far from reaching an understanding of the big bang, where gravity comes from and the glue that holds everything together. Knowing how destructive and unstable anti-matter is, which is the opposite of matter, has led scientist questioning what keeps everything together, stable, almost like a force shield is around the earth keeping matter from being destroyed. This is bringing scientists into thinking spiritually.

There is also a dark side of anti-matter. Some of the anti-matter created in the lab was contained in a vessel and placed at a college, where the name of the school has not been revealed. There were reports of students that were around the vessel that started to hallucinate, gone mad and experienced paranormal activity. Thus, some have concluded that anti-matter brings out the darkness of a person’s soul.

Some scientist in the lab who were studying anti-matter have also experienced hallucinations and paranormal activity in the lab, even seeing visions of Shiva doing a dance of destruction. Coincidentally or not, CERN has a statue of Shiva Nataraja in front of their facility. At night, in front of the statue, there was a few people wearing dark robes that performed some type of occult ritual where they had some lady lay down in front of the statue and stabbed her. From the video, it does not look like she died or bled, but it went viral and CERN claimed that they had no part of it and it was a hoax.

When the lab recently reopened after some major renovations to make it more robust, there was a photographer who captured photos of the sky above the 17 mile tunnel. He captured mysterious looking clouds above CERN filled with thunderbolts and lightning. The base of the cloud extended all the way to the surface right around the rim of the circle.

https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2016/06/photos-of-strange-clouds-over-cern-causing-concern/

There was also unusual cloud formations during the day that looked like a circle with a vortex in the center sucking up the clouds around it and a drop of light being pulled into the center. Some news sources presented the idea that the distant light going up to the center of the vortex was a UFO.

Some say that this could be the finding of a new dimension or that CERN is creating a gateway for travel into another time or dimension. Others say that CERN could end up creating a black hole that can completely annihilate our planet. The famous physicist and atheist, Stephen Hawking said that the God particle can wipe out the universe. Because some have claimed that anti-matter brings about the dark-side of the human soul, some have called the Hadron Collider, the gateway to hell and believe that CERN’s logo is made up of three numbers, 6, 6, and 6 rotated. There’s so much more to learn about anti-matter, let’s just hope it goes towards a more beneficial rather than destructive direction.

The Flaw of a One World Religion

In the Persian Gulf, on Saadiyat Island of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, a center of worship for three different religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam is being built, to be completed this year. There are three buildings, one for each religion and at the center, an educational center for all. This complex of buildings is called the Abrahamic Family House, designed by architect, David Adjaye , set to be completed this year.

The Abrahamic House Family is not just a center with buildings, but a fraternity where members move towards global interfaith. Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmad el-Tayeb signed a document to establish a human fraternity of religions.

You’ve probably seen the co-exist bumper sticker that spells out co-exist with symbols that represent different faiths. The Abrahamic House has a similar logo, only leaving out some faiths and enclosing it with a roof with chimney.

https://www.abrahamichouse.org/

The idea that religions can co-exist is nothing new at all in America since it’s something that’s been happening for so many years. We have buildings for all faiths where people from different religions come to worship their god and we’ve allowed it. This religious right is protected under the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the freedom for one to exercise his or her religion.

This is one of the things I love about the United States of America, our freedoms. Although my faith is in the salvation of Jesus dying on the cross for my sins, which I can never save myself from, I still hold strongly to the belief that people should freely practice their own religions. This might sound a bit crazy, but I believe that the God I worship, would want people to be able to choose their own religious path. If you read the Genesis 2: 15-17 in the bible. God tells Adam not to eat from the knowledge of good and evil. It wasn’t an apple tree, which most believe. It doesn’t say even say fruit, it just says tree and if you eat from it, you will die. God was not speaking of a physical death, but a spiritual death. The death that one feels inside due to sin, guilt, shame and most of all, separation from God. This sin that has the potential to lead one to eternal damnation.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Genesis 2: 15-17

Even though God told Adam not to eat from the tree, he still did and he also blamed Eve for it. After Adam and Eve ate from the tree, they realized that they were naked and hid from God. However, God already knew they disobeyed, yet He still went looking for them. He still wanted to connect with them. One may ask, if God did not want them to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then why did he allow it to stay in the garden in the first place? Adam and Eve had the freedom to choose to obey or disobey. God knows the way we are wired, He created us. He knows what will bring us joy and what will bring us to emptiness and devastation. When we don’t listen to His commands, we hurt our-self. Sometimes when things are used for the wrong purpose, they can break.

Having being raised catholic, that was my religion. I went to church on Sundays religiously, dressed up and tried my best to pay attention to what the priest was saying. I thought that kissing the feet of a Jesus statue would earn me brownie points with God. I prayed almost every night, the rosary, in repetition or memorized verses, but I didn’t find out until later that God wanted to hear me speak my heart out to Him. I always knew that God existed. I just could not fathom the fact that He actually knows my name and loves me and created me to be loved by Him. It wasn’t that people told me, but I experienced His love through reading the bible that speaks of His love and His voice that spoke to my heart. That inner voice inside that saves you, brings conviction or brings hope, joy and peace is the still voice of God.

The effort of a one world religion is pointless. God is not a religion. Kissing a statue of Jesus is not worshiping God. God does not live in statues nor does he live in a stone. The bible says that God is spirit.

24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

John 4:24

This fraternity of all religions may lead to the compromise of beliefs of each and although it sounds like it would bring unity, which it may, it can evolve into a new religion which combines the beliefs of all faiths into one. The scary part about it, is that if it becomes a one world religion, everyone will be forced to follow it, which negates the whole idea of ones freedom to choose. Although, Jesus in the bible says that there is only one way to God, the Father, we have the freedom to choose whether we want to believe what Jesus said or follow Him.

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

We can choose our own path to finding the truth. With all honestly, after finding God through the bible and a real spiritual life-changing experience of God’s love, I’ve found the truth and there was no reason to look any further. When truth comes, doubt does not exist. God already loves us, His creation and He will never force us to love or follow Him. It is our choice whether we want to receive His love for us and love Him back. It is also our choice whether we want to follow His will and His ways. If God knows what will destroy us and tells us to stay away from it because He know what it will do to us, why not follow His voice?
