Many people are not sure if there is a God. There is a story in a book called the bible, about a man called Paul who was a follower of Jesus. He was in Athens, where he found an altar to The Unknown God. I quote,
So Paul, standing before the council, addressed them as follows: “Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious in every way, for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about.
“He is the God who made the world and everything in it.
Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs.
He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.
From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth.
He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.
His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us.
For in him we live and move and exist. “God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.” (Acts of the Apostles 17:22-31 NLT)
The one whom he raised from the dead is Jesus. He came and lived on the earth for three years and went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil. God spoke out of the cloud his love and approval of his son Jesus.
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” (Matthew 17:5 NIV)
No other person has risen from the dead. No other God is kind and merciful. No other god claims to lift heavy burdens from people’s back and offer them rest.
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NLT)
He gives food to the hungry, he frees prisoners, and opens the eyes of the blind. Psalm 146 v 7-8
He healed the sick.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. (Matthew 14:14 KJV)
I choose to believe what these words say. I choose to believe in Jesus.
There are many books written about people who claim to help you if you follow them.
Psalm 146 v 3 says
Don’t put your confidence in powerful people, there is no help for you there.
I was diagnosed of fourth stage bowel cancer in 2010. “That is a death sentence”, someone said. I should be dead in the grave. But I took hope in Jesus’ promise to heal today. He told his followers to do the same as he did. He is not a dead god. He is alive and interested in our lives. Jesus healed me from all cancer! I am alive! I pray for others to be healed in Jesus name.
The unknown god that Paul spoke about many centuries ago healed me from cancer in 2010. His name is Jesus. Call upon him and you too can be healed.
Praise God Angela you are an amazing woman of God ..x
