God cannot act against His nature

The Holy Spirit of God is a person

All principles are personable as they enter the seen world from the unseen. Any principle, such as even those affecting the weather for instance,  exists by itself ultimately coming from a source. The weather also has an origin conceived of by a person, probably to clean and renew the planet. All principles therefore begin in the spirit, overall in the Holy Spirit of God.

Just as God speaks existence, by choice, that is all good, we have the choice to turn anything into evil. God cannot create or allow evil, or even have evil in His presence, because He is not only on the same plane, it would be against His nature. On the other hand, if God did not give us choices along with our existence, we could not exist as persons. It is through men that evil enters the world, egged along and further empowered by the evil spirits.

 I am tempted to say, forgive me, as far as evil and suffering is concerned, the bell tolls for us.

Ultimate proof of God?

Proof weakens faith

Nothing is ultimately proved in this world of the seen primarily because it is based on change. There are a host of books written specifically to prove the existence of God. They say this in their titles. They say this even though it says in the Bible we can only please God through belief. Why does it say that? I would say it is because if we can prove God exists then there is no purpose or power in faith. 

The Power is in Belief
If you accept actual proof then you wipe out completely any need to believe. Firstly, we ultimately can not prove anything with certainty, we can only prove to our own personal satisfaction. Secondly, the single presence of constant change in the seen world precludes all proof accompanied by certainty. Proof then is merely a stumbling block to faith, which is the purpose of proof. It is stumbling block to our belief principally, one might say. by doubt brought into the personal picture by the devil. All thought, even in the physical sciences, depends on faith, on the personal power to believe.

An Epiphany face to face

God Places Ideas in Our Hearts

Once one experiences an epiphany it is hard to in anyway debate or over rule it any respect. It was not a logical process on my part but was something simply put within my heart as a natural established fact. 

Intervention
I have no way of knowing this, but I strongly suspect others have had similar revelatory experiences. I am thinking now of Moses speaking with God, asking Him who shall he say sent him? That is to say, who gives him, Moses, the authority to tell all this present experience with God to the people?  Why should they take his word for it? 

This is when God defined Himself, saying I am that I am. I can't help suspect Moses, my view anyway, experienced an epiphany. This is why I trust Moses' account of who God is and accept it as the earliest definition, which makes it the first definition of God, given by God Himself. 

But when I Googled a definition of God the answer returned to me was that He was a Supreme Being. No mention of God indicating that He exists. Also, such questions were presented as who invented God and other similar perspectives. I noticed they all relied on the conscious definitions of men rather than speaking of God's own definition as reported by Moses. Later.....

Persistent prayers

Faith Forever Never Ending

Healing, one of the central benefits of the Cross along with the forgiveness of sins, is pressing into my thoughts now amid current wide spread concerns. Since Jesus has already

Beware Uncertainty
healed us by His stripes on the Cross, it remains only for us to believe it and believe that He can do it. This seems correct to me but if there is any doubt in it then, of course it likely would  not happen. There is a healing prayer in Manna permanently located in that first page's left hand column. I approach healing attempting to follow the way Jesus instructed by example.  Acceptance of a healing and permanent belief are the persistent bedrock in healing prayers.(See also Monday, 23 November 2020 in Manna.)

God is Existence

"Basically, when God told Moses “I AM WHO I AM,” he was giving the translation of what Yahweh means (Exodus 3:13-14). “I AM WHO I AM” is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh in Hebrew. He was saying in effect, 

My name is the fact that I exist.

Now, isn’t that a perfectly fitting name for the Almighty?"

What a conception!

Try this link to see our Milky Way and the location of our sun as  Our Star in the Milky Way  Run your cursor over image to see where  the earth fits into the galaxy, which is only one of an infinite number of uncountable other galaxies. The unimaginable number of delicate conditions that support us are too far unfathomable for me to conceive. Hard to avoid, I can only certainly conclude, the acknowledgement of a greater conceiver than myself is in the mix.  Left double click to even further "increase" the size of the image.

Vibration question

What is the story with vibration, or waves, that appear to be so central to theories of physical science.?  

From Google: Everything in the  universe is constantly in motion, vibrating. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact vibrating, oscillating, resonating, at various frequencies. 

So it seems similar to the heart, and its' in-voluntary beating. Now where did those rhythms come from?
