"Who is God", "Where is God" and "What is God" are all equally fallacious questions because they presuppose the existence of God. First you observe something in some way, then you name it and finally you ask those questions. God hasn't been observed at all, which is something all superstitions have in common, so there's no point in jumping directly to the name and the questions.

When you demand scientific evidence of God's existence from someone who claims God exists you are essentially asking What is God? and Where is God?. If not, what kind of evidence are you asking for?

A meteorite is seen. At first, it's just a spot on a monitor. Then you name it. Then you start asking what is it made of etc. What's the "spot on the monitor" when you talk about knowing that God exists? None. You just decided God must exist after you read about it in an old book. You named him, you invented things about him, but there's no real starting point. If you had some kind of experience, you just decided it must come from that one god and not from one of the countless others. It's all imagination and no reality. You ask what I would accept as evidence? Show me anything that can only be explained by the presence of a God. You must show that anything else fails or is less reasonable. That would provide a starting point for any religion, the starting point everyone misses.

You say, at first, a meteorite is "just a spot on a monitor". This is What and Where information. What? A spot. Where? On a monitor. You accept this as evidence for meteorites. You demand the same sort of evidence for God's existence. When you ask What? we say Everything. When you ask Where? we say Everywhere. These are unacceptable for you as scientific evidence. This is understandable.

What I'm saying is that you are asking the wrong question. The question is Who is God?. Science is has limitations; it's not equipped to give us an answer for this question. Only a personal relationship with God can answer it, the same way a personal relationship with you would be required for someone who wants to know who you are.

    • 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.
