Have you ever wondered how we get to know the real God? Not an image of Him, created by ourselves or by others who taught us about Him. To me, it appears to be a process of getting to know God better and better over time unless we are stuck in some religious prison that hinders us to freely approach our wonderful Creator through Jesus Christ.
Dear brothers and sisters, I want to share my latest struggles with you on here. I would like to ask the following question, “Have you ever had any doubts regarding a Christian you had to deal with as to whether they were the real thing or not?” Without blaming ourselves for questioning a professing believer, we are always encouraged to test the spirits whether they are from God or not (cf. 1 Jn 4:1). In context we read in John’s first epistle,
If you and I are interested in real close fellowship, first with God and Jesus Christ, and subsequently with each other (1 Jn 1:3), there is an aspect we have to get acquainted with.

Sometimes it’s hard to keep our eyes focused on the Lord and His kingdom, isn’t it? Whether we hope to find solutions regarding political turmoil, financial crises, or international disturbances, none of these things can give us real peace. It is understandable that people pray for peace, in particular, when their nation has come under attack. However, as Christians we might ask ourselves what kind of peace God promised us. Did He promise peace due to enjoyable circumstances? Or peace on earth when all our enemies are defeated, not being able to harm us anymore? Or did God promise us something else entirely? 🙄
It seems God does not answer all our prayers or at least not within the time we expect Him to. Nonetheless, our God wants to answer prayers that are according to His will as the following Scripture confirms.
