Why people don't come to know God & Jesus

Through my studies and talking with friends and family members over the years, I have learned that many people don't come to God and receive Jesus due to a variety of personal, societal, and the way they were raised...  plus EGO, Worldly Beliefs,  and many times the enemy has a strong hold on them.

One significant factor is the prevalence of secularism and materialism in modern society. With a focus on tangible success, wealth, and self-reliance, many individuals see religion as irrelevant or outdated. This materialistic worldview often leads people to prioritize immediate gratification and worldly achievements over spiritual growth and faith. Additionally, the rapid advancements in science and technology have led some to rely solely on empirical evidence and rationalism, dismissing spiritual beliefs as unscientific or irrational. (it makes me sad about this as well) 

THE BIBLE - THE TRUTH, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, The Way !  Read John 14:6 - see what Jesus Says!

Another reason is the negative experiences or perceptions associated with religion. Many individuals have encountered hypocrisy, judgment, or even abuse within religious communities, leading to disillusionment and mistrust. The historical and ongoing conflicts associated with religious differences further contribute to a reluctance to engage with faith. 

Personal struggles, such as suffering and loss, can also lead to questioning the existence of a loving God. 

Moreover, the fear of relinquishing control and the vulnerability that comes with faith can be daunting for many.  BUT !! when you give your life over to God , He will make a way and show you His will for your life and give you peace and understanding in all things! 

A life changing and powerful  decision is to embrace Jesus  and often requires a significant shift in lifestyle and values, which can be intimidating and uncomfortable, leading people to resist or postpone this commitment. BUT !!! when you Give your life over to God and a relationship with Him, You will become stronger, have more peace in all situations and Your heart will have all voids filled with His Love !

Get into your word, the Bible, The LIVING WORD today !

Dive into the Book of Proverbs and the Book of Acts, Get to Know God and what He wants in our life. 

I read Proverbs slowly in 2 weeks, to really absorb,  what to apply in my life as I dived into Ministry more and more. ( still do always) Plus to be able to share His word in the Way He wants me too.

Keep God & Jesus in the Center of your life, in all decisions and Stay prayed up, don't let the enemy get a strong hold... 

Rebuke negative thoughts, the lies of satan and sing praises to GOD only !  and the enemy will flee !

Peace and Love be with you today ! In Jesus Name !

Amen !

with Love, your Sister in Christ
