To be able to place your trust in anything or anyone you must first spend time with them or it.
Faith comes through a relationship of hearing and seeking to understand and know.
Hebrews 11:6
Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him with a earnest heart.
The reason that people doubt that there is a God is because they have not took the time to seek His face.
This is where worry and frustration about daily life would stop according to Matthew 6:33
Many may say that they have looked for proof of God but we know that God is faithful to draw near to all who draw near to Him.
Hebrews 10:22
As Christians our own hearts must be set apart continually and dedicated to the Lord so that we are always prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks us to give a reason for the hope that we have.
So this means that we have set our selves apart from profane things and useless things and take the time our selves to understand God.
I'm not talking about trying to argue and convince folks that God exists or that Jesus is Lord because cases can be argued.
I'm talking about guiding them to seek God on their own through relationship building.
Not acrobatics and spit, not bass drums and guilt but showing them in His Word with meekness and reverence towards the person esteeming them as God does.
Once folks have sought God and received revelation on their own no man can talk them out of it.
My pastor didn't convince me that there is a God and that Jesus is the only way, he showed it to me in the Bible from that pulpit.
Once I was able to see it with my own eyes and I know folks had prayed over that message, prayed over that service for that day, prayed that me and my family would come in and receive the Holy Ghost was involved.
It then is no longer just Bishop up there, it's Bishop up there teaching what the Holy Spirit tells Him to.
So this is how we must do it as well.
The Spirit of God knows all things and He presents them to those who look to Him and wait on Him.
We can set people apart for the Kingdom with the Word Of Truth.
Jesus said that we are all sanctified by the Word Of Truth.
Things are cleansed by the Word Of God and Prayer.
When this is shared in love that Word will come alive in their hearts.
It actually doesn't take a booming microphone, the microphone is needed for large crowds but you can sit right next to someone and speak in a whisper that only they can hear and minister God's grace.
The calling card to Christ and God is always His children, we are that miracle that they are waiting on because we can guide them to the blessings.
The lost will know who to approach that means that we can't be tangled up in things that will block the flow of the anointing.
Flesh walking cuts the anointing off and we can't flow.
Amen
Why do I believe in God?
Because I know Him.
How do I know Him?
Because I have spent time with Him and He instructs me and guides and leads me into His peace through His Word and His Faithfulness.
If you get to know me, I will introduce you to Him.
God loves you because He sent His Son and He is sending all of His children out to gather in as many as want to be saved from a life of pain and destruction.
Is that you?
Let us know.
Father,
As you cause the sun to rise and set show Your self to those who seek you through us.
Open the eyes of those who doubt and turn them from darkness to light.
I pray that hearts be healed as they come to know You, Your Son and Your Word. Set their hearts on fire to share You with all that they come in contact with.
In Jesus Name
Amen
1Peter 3:15; John 17:17; Acts 20 :32; Romans 10:17
