God Hears you ..... Why does it seem like God doesn't hear me?

Why doesn't God hear me?

I read a post today that said" GOD has never came through for me so at this point there is no need to continue talking to him".

John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Lets exaim a few things and get into the paradox of talking to GOD and hearing him.

God loves you, His love is shown in everyday life, order and substance of existence. His love is shown greatly in one huge fact, we can learn of him and never return ever to lost places if we'd like. You do not hear this everyday, But I am in ministry and I do hear this alot. Many people say " I was never the same again" think about that for a moment....... never being the same ever again. Thats a touch of love.

 Possibly in your earlier development, you probably were not taught the rules to the game of life. Jesus taught these rules with wonderful clearness in the New Testament. The Bible is the best book to learn them, but not the only book that teaches them. You can also learn them by trial and error. But why skip a holy book that's direct with the intel.

If life seems confusing or if God doesn't seem to listen, I'd start by re-educating yourself on spiritual law. I'd also ask someone who knows God why their faith is so strong. Ask them about their testimony.

I'll drop the golden nugget upfront and early: prayers are heard when they come from someone who honors God's law. It's as simple as this: the coach can better coach you when you stop playing around and acknowledge his coaching by being all in on his instructions for your play. There is no deep revelation to explain here... However, we are human and what's deep is we can get deeply lost and hurt. However, you cannot have any pride but only repentance and forgiveness for everything to take effect in your mind. The mind is like a garden; it can be allowed to run wild or be intelligently cultivated over time.

Your mind holds the creative imagination. The root word of imagination is image. We are made in the image of God. God gave us an imaging facility in our brain and life responds to it at the speed of light. We have authority and access to God's creativity to solve the problems in our lives through our God-given creative imagination. We have many problems already solved by God and you begin to see these answers, also known as problems, unfold to you as you find your way back home in your mind (Creative imagination).

It takes belief to not believe in God. Think about that... if a person says, "I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD," that is a belief in and of itself. It's just a trick you are playing in your own mind; both good and bad thoughts require belief. I'll tell you a secret of the universe: all beliefs are a system of beliefs. Men and women today imagine they can hold to a single belief on a matter alone from all the other things they reason, but this is not how God created us to think. However, if you open Pandora's box, you will learn everything a person says and believes is tied to a system of beliefs that they hold about themselves and the way they see the world, God, and nature.  

What you are really seeing is a paradox. Lucky for you there is education on reconciling a paradox. In fact most of life's truths present themselves in a paradoxical manner to teach us the full spectrum of its production. Simply put both sides of the situation help us see the entirety of the matter more clearly.

for example Good and Bad helps us understand true love, Hot and cold helps us understand temperature, light and darkness helps us understand vision.

Lets go deeper and playfully handle this matter! Let's juggle with this whimsical concept and see where it takes us!

First off, what's a paradox? It's a statement or situation that seems to contradict itself, but often, there's a clever twist that reveals some deeper or unexpected truth. Kind of like a riddle wrapped in a mystery!

Alright, let’s reconcile a classic one for you: the "Liar Paradox." Here goes:

"This statement is false."

Now, let's pop on our detective hats and dive in.

1. How It Clarifies:

  The Liar Paradox can actually help clarify the limitations and boundaries of logic. By pondering over this statement, we start to understand the constraints of language and self-reference. It's like having a mental stretching exercise: "If it's true, then it's false, but if it's false, then it's true." Ah, the mind-loop dance! This paradox pushes us to think about how we define truth and falsehood, and that deep dive can illuminate the structure of our logical thinking. Saying a matter of fact is flase would mean a matter of false is true, these loops often show us we are not intelligently seeking out the matter. Often the message is being hidden because of a bad attitude.

2. How It Confuses

  On the flipside, paradoxes are also seeds, the tasty, hard-to-chew kernel that makes our mental munching a bit tricky. The very nature of a paradox is to create confusion and challenge straightforward reasoning. The Liar Paradox muddles the simple distinction between true and false, making us question the reliability of language itself. For some, this can lead to frustration or a feeling of hitting a cognitive wall. It’s the kind of puzzle that can make your brain feel like it's running in circles!

In Summary

A paradox can be like a mischievous pixie – it either sprinkles clarity fumes when you grasp its deeper meaning or sprinkles confusion dust, making everything look foggy. When used skillfully, a paradox can open up new ways of understanding and deepen our inquiry into complex matters. Yet, it can also tighten the knots in our reasoning, adding layers of difficulty and sparking questions rather than delivering crisp answers.

So, next time you're tangled in a paradox, just remember: it's like a playful puzzle, inviting you to stretch your mind and dance with contradiction. Enjoy the twist and turns of the ride!

The paradox challenges us to think. This challenge is the renewal of our mind (Romans 12:2). It's not always pleasant, but we can be stubborn, and God the Father knows what's best in His love, principles, and patterns. This is another secret to why God has an expected end for us. The end God has for us is a package deal and insurance policy wrapped up in His love, principles, and patterns as we follow them (Purpose).

Many people over the years have become negative Nancies and Debbie Downers, and they don't notice the bank account and how they have paid into a negative mindset and perspective for years and years. The only answer to this is the grace of God and Romans 12:2. You systematically are negative. You must systematically renew your mind.
