If God is omnipresent, is he also in hell?  If God is omniscient, hasn't he always known what death, sin, and separatiion from God feels like - did he just send Jesus so we know he knows?  If he is omnipotent, why can't he nudge me to the belief side of things instead of letting all these questions spin in my head...?  Sometimes I feel like I'm going to hell even though I want to believe...where is He?

Oooo some Christians don't like my answers to these questions, but I mean no offence. God created the Heavens and the Earth. Hell didn't spring up out of nowhere, it was created by God. It's 'design' was to hold Satan and His armies for eternal punishment, but the Bible also says that the unsaved will be thrown into the 'Lake of Fire.' This is God's justice, His ultimate judgement on sin. I can't go into the justification of this, and God doesn't need me to, but I think it makes sense that God must condemn those who denied Him.

God created Hell, and if He is the One who casts the unsaved into Hell, If Hell is a literal place, and God is omnipresent, then God must exist there. If not, then Hell either isn't a real place (un-scriptural) or God isn't omnipresent, which we know He is. He must be sovereign even there. God is present in Hell, and while He still has the fullness of His nature, there will be none of God's mercy or Grace in Hell. To be a bit harsh, God gives man a chance to repent in life. Paul Walsher said 'Hell isn't Hell because God isn't there. Hell is Hell because God is there.'

God sent Jesus to preach the Gospel, die for man's sin, and provide THE way to Heaven. It was also important for the reason you said. Once God came in flesh, the Bible says that He denied temptation (Matthew 4:1-11), He never sinned (Hebrews 4:15). He faced persecution (John 5:16.) Because Jesus faced all these things attacking His human nature, being both fully man and fully God (Google: hypostatic union), and yet never sinned, it means we can't point the finger at God. We can't tell Him that He doesn't understand our pain and struggles. That's why our God is an awesome God!

When I became a Christian, I literally couldn't muster enough faith. But Jesus said that He will do whatever we ask in His name (John 14:13.) Of all the things that God would say 'yes' too, I think God would defiantly say 'yes' if you declared Him Lord and Savior, and then asked for a little more faith ;) The fact that you want to believe says to me that you're being called to Salvation! The Bible says that we cannot seek God because of our sinful nature, we naturally flee from Him (Romans 3:11.) Jesus said that the Father calls us to faith (John 6:44), and because of that we declare Jesus Lord. After that we are placed in the hands of the Son by the Father and He will NEVER let you go (John 6:37.)

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
