Proof that God Exists


Someone once asked me how I know God exists. I can boldly answer that question.
How do I know God exists? Because I feel him in every fiber of my being. I breathe him in with every breath. My pulse quickens at the mention of His name. He gives joy to my soul and is the very essence of who I am. While I cannot force you to believe, I can tell you I know confidently and without a doubt that He is.

My past only further confirms what my heart tells me. I have lived both with Him and without Him. The difference in the two lifestyles screams that God is real. When I chose to include Him in my journey He lit my path. When I shut Him out the days were dark. I have seen Him do miracles with my own eyes.

Beth Moore says it best...

"In my estimation, atheism demands far more faith than theism, so I have never been significantly tempted to disbelieve in the existence of God. The evidence in His favor is overwhelming. I wouldn't have the energy for the endless rationalizations demanded to explain existence without Him. Genesis 1:1 begins with "in the beginning God created..." Those who believe in a godless universe thus far can't even find a beginning to base their belief system upon. Psalm 14:1 says, "The fool says in his heart, 'There is no God.'"

Beth continues on...

"Godless philosophies have not been my temptation. In my life experience the most dangerously influential opinions have been those held by intellectuals and scholars who profess Christianity but deny the veracity and present power of the Bible. To many, the Godhead exist, but they are not exactly who Scripture say they are. Neither do they do what Scripture says they can do. The obvious brilliance of these scholars supported by a convincing list of degrees tempts those who wanted to believe God's Word to feel gullible and ignorant. The unspoken indictment is, "How could you be stupid enough to believe that?" Translation: "Did God really say...?" (Like the serpent in the garden.) Like Eve, we want to feel smart, so we end up making the stupidest decision of our lives. NOTHING is more ignorant than choosing man's intelligence over God's."
