Hypnosis

I used to think similar to the way you do now. When I was 19 I thought God just stood there sitting around. He does not answer prayers. Real accomplishments come from all our own efforts. . Years later when my life was going down I started asking for God.

God did call me many times earlier in life. But I only took time to listen. I never took time to apply it to any of my thinking. The problem is the Bible was absent in my life. How can I defend God or be against God if I don’t know what God really is about.

You say you need to take action. God does not talk much. He does not answer that many prayers. These are your observations with your eyes and ears. The Bible says. 2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (in Context) 2 Corinthians 5 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations NKJV

You need to learn more about God before you make all these claims. It’s not a big deal for me to deny Hypnosis. Even if this practice is not dangerous at all it’s still not an act of true faith. You said it yourself the doctors were help but God was not.

You see buildings built by men. But who created the rocks? You see medicine but who put that in the Earth in the first place? Look at yourself and who created mankind? You have light during the day and moon by night. Who gave us these Lights? You have water to drink food to eat who gave us food? Before you give God so less of credit to make Him silent find out more why you believe He is and why you think He is not much about answering prayers. It would not sound good at Church to hear believe in God. Have Great Faith.. But now I say God does not say much. He won’t answer our prayers often. If God does not much please go do it yourself. . Is that a Church message one wants to believe? Certainly not. And that is not what the Bible teaches.

Yes there is a reason for people to go out and work. It is commandant in the Bible for people to work. So we can’t expect something not doing anything. God is more behind the plans that our eyes can take notice of. Most of the solid Christians still don’t know how God does what God is able to do. Personally as one being blind God has done amazing things. I’ve done things but I don’t pat myself on the back. God has provided and has kept us safe. .

I’m not angry at all. I do understand you have these beliefs of God. We all have questioned God in all matters at one time or another. We all believed God was not around at times. It is not that way.

Psalm 139
New King James Version (NKJV)

God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.


The first link is showing how God is not silent as we may believe He is.

http://christianity.about.com/od/topicaldevotions/a/experiencinggod.htm We will learn in this how God’s Word speaks to our heart.

Second one is about meditating on God’s word. http://www.biblestudytools.com/blogs/founders-ministries-blog/meditating-on-god-s-word.html This also includes life application how to apply God’s word to real life situations.

God can do all things. · Matthew 19:26

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:25-27 (in Context) Matthew 19 (Whole Chapter) Other Translations.
 
God won’t do all things. If God did all things He would also do evil. But God must do things by divine reason. We place our trust and faith because God is higher than us. One of the smartest people told us this.. “God did not just take a pair of dice and roll them. He God did not put things in a chaos random order. But God put things in Divine Order.” This is Albert Einstein. Einstein has defended God and that neither Science nor man has the one true answer to all our questions and understanding of life. He does show God has created Science only to help us in some way as but never to place God in second place. Because if Einstein teaches Science he still has to give thanks and praise to the creator the one who made all Science.

So if you are even being helped by a doctor this Science was only possible of God’s doing. We exercise and we eat healthy foods. God created science that way so it would benefit us. God is not helping? Surely God is always helping. He just so often does not get the credit for where man wants to take that away.

Please read these devotionals please find out more. . You will find out God was there by your side all that time. He has plenty to say. It’s only a matter now if you want to know these things. God does not force it must be one is willing. A teacher in school can make every effort to get us to learn. If we say we want to do it our way everything they know then won’t be applied. We can understand those teachers at school. If we say Doctors and ourselves deserve more credit than God it is only because we don’t know the full testimony, or we don’t agree with it fully. Our Faith gives up looking for other solutions. The Bible teaches patience. It teaches faith the things we see even to those things we even can’t see, things we can hear but even that we can not hear. God is in all places both evident in his creations and invisible which we do not see him. We are like an appliance. We have a plug. If we are not plugged in we won’t work. . God is the source of our electricity. A fridge will spoil food if it there is not a source to make the food cold. Plug it in the wall even add ice but one way or another God has helped us and he will continue doing so.
