Where Is God?
Have
you ever asked that question? Was this phrase comes out in your mind? Its
answer has more to do with His presence in your lives than with belief in His existence.
You want to know where is God when you’re hurt, when something goes desperately
wrong in your life.
These question where only coming out in the
mouth of a man who possibly not believing God. Also, it was a question of a
human in great depression. Maybe an old man /woman living in his/her last day
and seeking someone, who could lifted them to another facet of life. They may
say it in faint or as a whisper due to their total gloominess, or may scream as
a gesture of arrogance… WHERE IS GOD!!!
Or we can say they were the unbelievers of the works of God!
Or we can say they were the unbelievers of the works of God!
'Where Is God
When Babies Are Raped and Killed?'
NO! Look around at the evidence. God is always
present…
Psalm 19:12
The
heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His
handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night
reveals knowledge.
If we could just imagine how great were the work of God, we
could not be doubtful of questioning the existence of God. Just a simple
observation to the ant colony organization:
An ant colony, also called a formicary, is the basic family unit around which ants organize their lifecycle. Ant colonies are eusocial, and are
very much like those found in other social Hymenoptera, though the
various groups of these developed sociality independently through convergent evolution. The typical colony consists of one or
more egg-laying queens, a large number of sterile females
("workers") and, seasonally, a large number of winged sexual
males and females. Periodically,
swarms of the winged sexuals (known as alates)
depart the nest in great nuptial flights. The males die shortly thereafter, along with most of the females. A small percentage of the
females survive to initiate new nests.
Like humans, ants are social. They live and the common
purposes of survival, growth, and reproduction that they behave like a single work
together in highly organized societies called colonies. In fact, most ant colonies are so united toward organism, or a
“super organism.”
If ants had an organize colonies, how much more to a God that
control the motion of all the planet of the galaxies? God wants us to know He
exists.
Where is God?
We see Him in what He has created. Do you believe that God
wants you to see Him? The Bible says He does.
Ø He exposes Himself to us.
Psalm 98:2
The Lord has made known His salvation; His righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the nations.
Ø God reveals Himself to us through His creation
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even his eternal power
and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Ø Through His Word:
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
in righteousness
Ø Finally, God desires us to know Him so much that He
took on the form of a man, in the person of His Son Jesus Christ.
Philippians
2:6
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to
be equal with God:
Philippians 2:7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Philippians
2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians
2:9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him
a name which is above every name:
Philippians
2:10
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Philippians
2:11
And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
· How could a merciful and loving God
allow us to inflict the suffering, death and destruction associated with war on
drug?
If
God is all powerful, loving and merciful, how could He allow the misery and
horror of war? To find God’s answers, we must see what He recorded for us in the
Bible about why we have warfare today.
James,
the half brother of Jesus, wrote under inspiration: “Where
do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You
murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war” (James 4:12).
·
Is war God’s fault?
Two
people can have irreconcilable conflicts. So can two nations. Wars between individuals or nations are the result of a
fundamental condition; the ultimate blame for warfare falls on mankind’s
selfishness and greed as well as pleasures.
What
is it about humanity that leads to such evil passions and deeds? Aren’t we all “good people”? Surprisingly, the answer is yes it was before...
Gen 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creep upon the earth.
Gen 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:31
And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was
very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
·
But where does war starts?
The Serpent or Satan start it
Isaiah
14:14
I will ascend above the heights
of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Isaiah 14:12
How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! How art thou
cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Yes it is Lucifer or Satan who starts the war with God, when Satan wants to ascend to the position of the almighty God.
Maybe you ask" then why God just kill Satan at the very beginning so that no one else will be subjected in sinning?"
Maybe you ask" then why God just kill Satan at the very beginning so that no one else will be subjected in sinning?"
Remember God is omniscient. He sees the future. If He kills Satan then a conclusive act will be blatant. Anybody who will not obey His rule will surely be killed? By whom? By god? it is an accusation to a merciful God. Really god does not want us to be punished. He allotted a time to give a fair judgment to all He living things He created.
·
Where did that wickedness come from?
Scripture reveals the
source of evil and wickedness in this world. “But if you have bitter envy and
self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie
against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is
earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and
self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there” (James
3:1416).
· Sin is man’s fault, not God’s
But
if God is all powerful, why doesn’t He stop all evil and war? The answer lies
in the age old question about free will for humans.
God says that He sets before us life and death, blessing and cursing, but He
says He wants us to choose life.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may
live:
God wants us to make the wise
choice of obedience to His law. He asks us to choose to
control our attitudes. For example, we are to choose love instead of hatred,
humility instead of arrogance.
Making
the right choices is not an easy thing to do in this evil world. It requires
building godly character. The result of making the right choice to love God’s law
and obey His commandments is peace (Proverbs 3:12; Psalm 119:165).
Proverb 3:12
For
whom the LORD loved He correct; even as a father the son in whom he delight.
Proverb
3:13
Happy
is the man that find wisdom, and the man that get understanding.
Psalm
119:164
Seven
times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.
Psalm
119:165
Great peace has they which love thy law: and nothing
shall offend them.
There is just few people who are
willing to make the choice that produce godliness and righteousness.
Instead, people choose what comes naturally through the influence of Satan’s
attitudes. The Bible explains in Ephesians 2:2 that Satan’s evil ways influence
our minds. We are to resist and reject that evil influence with godly
character. It is vital to understand that by their choices humanity has cut
itself off from God.
Eph 2:2
Wherein in
time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the
prince of the power of the air, the
spirit that now work in the children of disobedience:
·
Why does God allow war on drugs and other related war and
sufferings, and devilish pleasures of the flesh?
God, even in the very beginning
set rules that man should followed. These rules put as
in an organized manner. But when we transgress
those rules, it will inflict us corruption and we are the one penalized
ourselves to the outcome of our disobedience. God does not allow you to drink
strong wine nor He allows you to rape a woman, much even more a four year old
and killed her. Everything you are doing was your choice! Everything God had
created was organized, perfectly good! It is YOU who disorganize all of the
things God had made. It is you who disobey His advice. It is you who create
those wines, cigarettes, drugs and everything that would wreck the organization
of every living thing. Why? It is simply because you transgress the simple rule
of God, that in all the trees of the garden you may eat; except the tree of
knowledge of good and evil. It is not the tree but it is your evil act to
disobey the rule set by God. God does not allowed those evil things to
happened, it is you, they, us, who allow those evil things.
Genesis 2:16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, of
every tree of the garden thou may freely eat:
Genesis
2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not
eat of it: for in the day that thou eat thereof thou shall surely die.
Psalm 22:11
Be not far from
me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
He is allowing mankind to make a
free will in life, a free man to choose. God does not want a
world cut off from Him because of sin. It’s not God’s fault that sin, evil and
warfare are a part of the devices of the Devil today. Because of man’s repeated
choosing of disobedience, you are bringing sorrow and destruction upon yourselves
when you did disobey God’s rule.
And when the suffering comes to man…
And when the suffering comes to man…
Then maybe it is the time then that man would realize that he was truly wrong
and turn his back to God and repent then pray:
“God I knew You are there in heaven,
I believed Your existence, please helped us. Many had die, I don’t want to die
doing evil things then die. Instead I would rather die doing the things: You
wanted me to be. I love You God, help me please…”
·
Then why God is not acting on within this evil condition?
An
example:
At
that night a child and an old lady were being raped and after it, stabbed them
to death, after then they chopped the two; then the worse of all the two
victims burned and offered to Satan. Is there anything else your mind can
imagine more devilish that they can do to the child and the old woman?
Maybe
God will:
1. God
will kill that man instantly.
2. God
will let the man hear His voice and talked to the man.
3. God
will make a way to blind the man.
4. God
will persuade him not to do it.
5. God
will be… whatever thousand things you could imagine will be done by God.
HOW
STUPID IS THE MAN WHO CREATE HIS OWN REASON, AND ARGUE IN ANY CONDITION OF A
MAN’S LIFE HERE ON EARTH? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE TO OVERPOWERED GOD IN HIS DECISION?
God
has his own good reasons of whatever may happened to any human being. Remember he
is the father of all things. Everybody may commit sins. The old woman, the
child when grew up may commit those devilish act. Everyone was or maybe subject
to act like demons.
MOM KILLED TWO DAUGHTERS
The father of two sisters gunned down by their own mother last
week attended their funeral Saturday, alongside the fiancé who was due to marry
his eldest girl last Monday. Friends and relatives wept for Taylor, 22, and
Madison Sheats 17, who were shot dead by mother Christy, 42, outside the family
home in Katy, Texas after a family meeting she had called exploded into
unspeakable violence.
A grieving Jason Sheats 45, was the only family member to survive
mother Christy’s attack and according to Fort Bend County Sheriff’s department,
Christy left her husband alive ‘to punish him'.
MOM OFFERED THEIR SONS AS AN OFFERING TO FALSE GOD
Jeremiah 19:5
They have built
also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which
I commanded not, nor speak it,
neither came it into my mind:
So
what the killings the devil before is also the killings they were doing today.
If the dweller before the time of Jesus suffers and feared by the devil;
today’s people also suffered in the hands of the devil in all the continent of
the world.
But if we were just followed God’s
regulations, nobody suffers.
The devil will flee away to those who obey God’s rules and judgment. If
all those Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings and Queens, Riches Man and Woman
of the world will give some of their Millions and Thousands to the people under
their jurisdiction, then no Africans will die of hunger, everybody will be
educated.
The uneducated people may now understand what is good and bad. And the bible will be the basis of all the education around the world. And the promised were:

(Ezekiel

·
But truly to say; where is God?
Exodus 20:21
And the people
stood afar off, and Moses
drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
Hence, God is not
too far from us. We just have to be like
Moses who follows the commandment of God and we will be protected by the all
powerful God and He comes very near to us. Now that we knew that if we will follow God’s
rule, He will be very near to us.
·
How near was God from us?
Peter even talked
to the son of God when He was here on earth. They talk - face to face. Jesus
can even pray for you to the Father to defend you in your trouble or He will
send a thousand angels for you.
Matthew
26:52
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Think thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall
presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Genesis 21:20
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an
archer.
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as
of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

If God was near to us where did He resides
In
order to a man to see God’s presence and power, you must have a good treasure
in your heart. But the man who is not a believer and follower of God has a
treasure in his heart full of evil things. Perilous days will come to him.
Matthew 12:35
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bring forth good
thing: and an evil man out
of the evil treasure bring forth evil things.

And
loving God is not an easy task. You have to love God with your mind, soul and
with all your heart. That will be the time God will open your heart and His
commandment will be written in your heart, accompanying you in living your life

Jesus said unto him, Thou
shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.

The Old Man cries: I'm giving my life to GOD...
Matobato surrenders to PNP, to be taken to Davao
By: Jerome Aning / @inquirerdotnet Philippine Daily Inquirer / 01:36 PM October 07, 2016
Accompanied by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, erstwhile Senate witness
on extrajudicial killings Edgar Matobato surrendered to the Philippine National
Police headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City yesterday.
Matobato, who earlier admitted being part of the Davao Death Squad
and even linked President Rodrigo Duterte to the vigilante group, was ordered
arrested by a court in Davao City for failing to attend last Tuesday the
arraignment of the illegal firearms possession case filed against him two years
ago.
“I’m giving my life to God; whatever happens to me, I’ll accept,” he told reporters in a brief interview upon his arrival.
PNP chief Director-General Ronald dela Rosa said Matobato will be
brought to the court in compliance with the judge’s order. Dela Rosa also
guaranteed Matobato’s safety while in detention and in the trip to Davao.
Under this mind boggling situation the old man cried to God that
whatever happens to him he will accept it. But justices anywhere in the world
cannot be sufficient to result in a fair trial. Doubt and fear of what will
happened to him. Matobato if he can read this article were certainly outburst
of the tears of joy in his eyes knowingly that God is near him anytime,
anywhere, he need God badly. He seemingly not to cried out “where is God”.
But
would you believed that here on earth GOD have permanent addresses?
James 1:26
If
any man among you seems to be religious, and bridle not his tongue, but deceive his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
As we seen the setting of the sun, in which God created it with a priceless rays from far away; together with the angel besides us, let us begin a short prayer coming from our humble heart; and lastly said:
TO GOD BE THE GLORY…
Good luck.
