Here is some evidence that our Creator is a real, living, omnipresent being, beyond the shadow of a doubt. Please share your thoughts and your own experiences in the comments.

The Bible. People say men wrote the Bible, but what they don’t know is that the men who wrote the Bible were documenting their supernatural experiences with a living God. These people encountered a spiritual being that was visible and audible, who guided them through various parts of their lives and told them that He was God. This God performed miracles for them, that were undeniably supernatural.  The New Testament are the testimonies of the disciples that actually knew Jesus when He was living among them. He also proved Himself by performing miracles, and telling them He was the Son of God up to His death. These people witnessed those miracles, including Jesus’ return from the grave and ascension into Heaven. They watched Jesus die, then they saw Him come out of the grave, fully alive with all of His scars from the crucifixion, and eat and commune with them for 40 days until He returned to Heaven. Is this hard to believe? Everyone thinks that until they have their own encounter with Him. Today we consider the witness testimony 2 people corroborating the same story, enough evidence to convict someone of a crime. In the Bible, there are hundreds of testimonies that are perfectly aligned with each other and all point to the same conclusion. Also, isn’t it amazing that this book has survived for over 3,000 years despite all the Christian persecution that has happened over history? There were also many times in history when all copies were ordered to be burned. Yet, even today it is the best selling book in the world, and the best selling book of all time.

Modern Testimonies. Even today people have seen and heard Jesus. He seems to choose those that he reveals Himself to carefully, but there are probably millions. Look up Jesus Testimonials on Youtube and you will find many, many people who have had a recent experience with the living God and it has changed their lives dramatically. People have been miraculously freed from all kinds of afflictions by accepting Jesus, or attending church one day, or praying with friends, and their stories are widely available. I would recommend watching or reading, The Shack (I preferred the book), The Miracle of Cokeville, and Heaven is Real, which were all true stories that showcase the power and existence of God. Also, people from every background and religion are converted to Christianity daily. You will find testimonies from people of every background; former satanists, witchcraft, new age, universalism, Muslim, Hinduism, Mormon, and every other religion and lifestyle in existence – converted to Christianity after they had an experience with the one, true God and finally discovered the truth.

Near Death Experiences or NDE. Many people who have had NDE’s have encountered a powerful, but loving being who judged their actions in this life. Most recognize Him as Jesus. The book, Life after Life, by Raymond Moody, describes a thorough study on what over 100 people experienced in NDE. He confirms that people have consistently encountered this. You can find testimonies of this all of over the Internet. People have also experienced Heaven and Hell during NDE and came back to tell the tale. These people are usually profoundly changed after realizing what comes after death.

Satanists. There are actually people who worship Satan. Many of them are on TV as famous celebrities, artists, and athletes. They do not hide it. The ‘art’ they produce involves gore, blood, glorifying sin. They vilify morals or anything Christian. People wear all black, upside down crosses, blasphemous material, devil horns, red eyes, etc. There are testimonies from victims of Satanic Ritual abuse that testify that these people actually participate in human sacrifices and abuse of all kinds. Many reformed Satanists have testified that Satan and demons are real, and that they participated in these things in return for power and fame. If Satan is real, and people are willing to worship Him, then God must be real as well, because God created him. Satanism is also widely accepted in mainstream entertainment. They flaunt their ceremonies and principles in movies, shows and video games. Meanwhile, Christianity is the only religion where discrimination is widely accepted in the mainstream media.

Demons and Angels. Many people claim to have seen or experienced demons or ‘evil spirits’. Some have witnessed demonic possessions, or at least believe they happen based on films and videos. There are plenty of true stories out there about demonic possession. Many have experienced sleep paralysis, poltergeist activity, black beings or shadows, voices telling them to do terrible things, imaginary friends among children who cause bad things to happen. People wake up with unexplainable bruises and scratches after having evil dreams. The list goes on and on. It’s evidence of demons. Others have witnessed angels, who gave them Godly advice, or saved them from some major catastrophe. Sometimes these beings aren’t seen, but felt, or known by the inexplicability of a particular sequence of events.

Miraculous Healing. Doctors or nurses that have been in the profession very long have been witness to countless miracles of healing. They cannot be explained by modern medicine or technology. Years of treatments or so called ‘incurable’ disease, magically disappeared one day after praying. Even physical ailments have been healed by God. People have come back from being clinically dead for a long time, with no bodily harm or brain damage. Many nurses and doctors will also testify to strange activity in hospitals and nursing homes. When people are near death, they have visions and see ‘ghosts’. Also, when people die, they exhibit signs of entering an afterlife that is wither one of complete horror, describing burning sensations, and seeing demonic figures OR they are completely at peace, seeing loved ones, and describing sensations of love, calm, and comfort.

All of these people are telling the same story. They can’t all be crazy, or brainwashed. In fact, these people aren’t telling you about something that someone else told them. They are all original, individual accounts of personal experiences with the same God. Think about it. I hope after you’ve read this, and/or done some of your own research, or watched some of those testimonials or books I’ve mentioned, you’ll come to the same conclusion as myself, and all of these other people.

Still on the fence?

Think about your own life experiences. You’ve probably had your own unexplainable miracles, but just haven’t given the credit to God. Have you had your own NDE or close calls? Do you think He saved you for a particular purpose, or you’re just not sure? Have you watched some testimonials but you just don’t believe them? If so, I’d encourage you to find out yourself before you decide if you believe. It’s not difficult to have an experience with God. You just have to try. In fact, He is waiting for you to come to Him. So just ask Him yourself. What do you have to lose?

Finally, if you truly want to know if God is real, just ask God (or Jesus) to reveal Himself to you, or to reveal that He is real. I think it’s more effective if you say the words out loud, but you could also think them, but it needs to come from your heart. Do this at a time when you’re alone with no distractions and really devote some time to it. You can even ask for a sign. Sometimes it’s subtle thought, almost a whisper in your soul – but you’ll know it didn’t come from you. It could be a feeling of love and peace like you’ve never felt before. Other times it’s a more monumental event where you will actually see or hear something. Everyone’s experience is different. Consider this a first step. If you don’t feel or experience something right away, don’t give up. Keep trying. At least long enough to know that you’ve actually tried. It may not even happen in that moment. He may send you a message through another person, a video, or any other source near you. Reading the Bible can also help you learn more. I would recommend starting with the New Testament. Just be looking for His response. The more you want to know Him, the closer He will come to you. He said, seek Him and you will find Him. Knock and He will answer.
