Can "God" be Proven By Us?

Short Answer: NO!

Long Answer: God cannot be proven by men because irrespective of the classification or selection of "your God", that God is still invisible and not somewhere in U.S sitting down in the white house. That "God" is Spirit.

Can you prove Spirit? NO! Don't fool yourself. You cannot prove spirit exist. A text in a book cannot prove that Spirit exist. No matter what you say, as long as that Spirit does not appear for all eyes to see, it cannot be proven. Whatever it does, it does STRICTLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to whoever it is working with not the general public.

You cannot prove God without looking stup!d. I have tried it and I have given up it does not mean the God i serve is not real. He is very real! But I just can't prove it. Neither can you prove yours! Only God can prove Himself like He proved himself to me.

So you cannot prove it but experience it personally. Below is my personal testimony that made me know God is real and I don't care if I am the last believer on earth. God proved himself to me through His Prophets and not Sunday School bible study.

Growing up I knew the basic Jesus and Mary. The basic God and Moses story and nothing more. I was even a Sunday school bigot. I was born CAC. But I encountered many problems in life that took me to virtually all the churches in Nigeria. Yes, All! Even Olumba Olumba. Even White Garment(I am a Proud CCC Member Today).

One day, I encountered a Prophet (Yes, A Real Prophet. Not your pastor or media General Overseer that predict election and pdp). I encountered him in the Cherubim & Seraphim Church nearby to were i was doing a project so i dont live there. (I am not a C&S but CCC so I am not promoting C&S but stating the fact..) I went to the Shepherd of the church and not the prophet(Keep Observing) seeking help regarding a huge debt i owed. The Shepherd as usual of a C&S had prescribed many works to the tune of N40k which i ignored so on my way out, the Prophet fell in spirit and began to speak to me.

1 - The Prophet Spoke To Me Purely In English (Weird of a C&S but its the Holy Spirit coz I do not really understand yoruba much but i was speaking it there and never went to the prophet for him to detect i am not yoruba. Even my name is yoruba so how did he know?). After this, he went on speaking in hardcore yoruba to his friends so its not like he is not yoruba.

2 - The Prophet Predicted What would happen regarding my debt and even predicted that it would be at night I would receive the call and that when I want to go and tell a friend(Observe), i would hear the whisper that he is "long gone". Behold, 4 months later at night, at around 8pm, the police IPO of the police case called to tell me the person I owed closed the case and withdrew it from court. I nearly ran mad. The person closed the police case and I did not pay a kobo. I did not do any of the works in the church! So it is not about the church but the prophet. It was my wife who reminded me of what the Prophet had said 4 months ago. I ran the next morning to give my testimony to my friend(exactly as predicted), and behold I saw people around the area feeling very sad and they said they lost a young person in the nearby C&S chruch (The prophet). I remembered the prophet told me I would hear the whisper which I did exactly. So Accurate! I can never forget this till i die. Who says there is no prophet again? or there is no God?

What is my point in this story?

If a prophet(I proudly call him a prophet. Rest his soul) could be so accurate, what is behind such power if not God? (Whatever his God is/was). This is a prophet whom so accurately told me what my wife was about to venture into(My wife was in far east as at then so she knew nothing about the church or prophet. She was even angry i went without telling her. So how did he know about my wife?). Such power can only come from spirit. Which Science wants to explain how a young man i never knew his name could predict or tell me a secret only my wife and I know? If not God. Please be real!

After that day, I began to know that God is real! This is my personal encounter and it may mean nothing to someone else but it is the principal reason I am a christian today and a proud CCC (Celestial Church of Christ).

Why I am CCC not C&S

God proved himself again in CCC 3 years later, I encountered another prophet. The prophet told me that when I join the church, that in those days, the Lord would seize me for his work. That was all the prophet said. 2 months later i joined the church and the day of my baptism (a year later), I fell in a trance and a lot of people could testify positively that every message I gave them was accurate. (This was Predicted by the prophet a year ago). Since then I remained in the CCC doing God's work and today I am proud to be a Prophet of the Lord. How did I go in trance to give messages to people I do not know without the Spirit of God? So there is God! That is my proof that makes me worship him and bow at His altar that He is real.

Even as at last week, the Lord said unto me very clearly that I should not give the person that comes to ask me for money until he asks the 3rd time. Behold on Sunday on my way to church, a mad man came asking for money, I ignored, He asked 3 times exactly as the Lord said to me. How can I predict such on my own without the Spirit of God?

I cannot prove to you coz it means nothing to you until you experience it yourself. I even have another testimony of a Prophet in the Mountain of Fire Church(MFM), Who went in Spirit and Spoke to me of the new shop my sister had opened. My Sister is in Kaduna, MFM church was in Lagos, so no connection yet how did the Prophet Know? Lucky Guess maybe but can a Guess also mention exactly how much my sister spent on the shop which my sister confirmed true?

These prophets I encountered were not pastors or church leaders but mere bloody members who i am sure the pastor does not even know they exist there but God used them greatly.

For all believers out there, keep believing dont try to prove anything. You cant Prove it. God would prove Himself. Keep doing it as long as it works for you! God used Prophets to show his power to me like he used Elijah, Moses, Elisha, Daniel, John, even Jesus Chirst. So I hope one day, God would show his power in whatever way to the unbelievers. Amen.

Bros, pls don't get me wrong. I'm not against your beliefs and your believe in this prophet you talked about as if he were Jesus of Nazareth.

My question to you is this, if everything we knew about Balaam the son Beor in the Bible ended with him being summoned to place a curse on the Islraelites, wld you have known that he was indeed a sorcerer and not a prophet of God?

If history antecedents didn't continue, most of us today wld believe and take Balaam as a true prophet from YHWH. If someone is operating under the spirit that Balaam operated, today and is running a church in Nigeria wld anyone doubt that he isn't of God?

What about Simon the sorcerer? Have you ever heard of him?

[b]Acts 8:9-22
[b] For some time a man named Simon had lived there and had amazed the people of Samaria. He practiced witchcraft and claimed to be somebody great.

Everyone, rich and poor, crowded around him. They said, “This man is the power of God called ‘The Great Power.’

” For a long time, Simon had used witchcraft to amaze the people, and they kept crowding around him.

But when they believed what Philip was saying about God's kingdom and about the name of Jesus Christ, they were all baptized.

Even Simon believed and was baptized. He stayed close to Philip, because he marveled at all the miracles and wonders.

The apostles in Jerusalem heard that some people in Samaria had accepted God's message, and they sent Peter and John.

When the two apostles arrived, they prayed that these people would be given the Holy Spirit.

Before this, the Holy Spirit had not been given to any of them, though some of them had been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Peter and John then placed their hands on everyone who had faith in the Lord, and they were given the Holy Spirit.

Simon noticed that the Spirit was given only when the apostles placed their hands on the people.

So he brought money and said to Peter and John, “Let me have this power too!

Then anyone I place my hands on will also be given the Holy Spirit.” Peter said to him, “You and your money will both end up in hell if you think you can buy God's gift!

You don't have any part in this, and God sees that your heart isn't right. Get rid of these evil thoughts and ask God to forgive you.[/b]

Sir, I didn't bring these up to tell you that you are wrong, but to tell you that predictions and manifestations of signs and wonders don't signify that Christ is indeed involved.

Cont.

Jesus Himself warned us to steer clear from signs and wonders as the devil will use them greatly to mislead People.
Contemporary English Version Matthew 24:24
False messiahs and false prophets will come and work great miracles and signs. They will even try to fool God's chosen ones.

All the predictions made by Balaam, did they come to pass? Yes. Accurately, that's why Kings of Nations had confidence in him.

Were they from God? The Bible called him a Soothsayer and warned us to be careful of his ways.

Now. Let us by Scriptures trace how we can know which if these people called prophets are of God and who are working for another master.

This is the Lord's instructions to those whom he has sent "Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Now let's begin with the prophets of old. How many if them demanded for anything money or other stuff for their services? None. Bring Genesis to Revelation. Freely they received, freely they gave.

But let's take Balaam for instance.

Numbers 22:6-7
Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me:

peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land:

for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed ~~~with the rewards of divination in their hand;~~~and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.

Another translation says The leaders of Moab and Midian left ~~~and took along money to pay Balaam.~~~ When they got to his house, they gave him Balak's message..

Acts 8:18-19 Simon noticed that the Spirit was given only when the apostles placed their hands on the people. ~~So he brought money ~~and said to Peter and John, “Let me have this power too! Then anyone I place my hands on will also be given the Holy Spirit.”

What about the damsel in Acts 16?

Contemporary English Version Acts 16:16-19

One day on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl.

She had a spirit in her that gave her the power to tell the future. By doing this she made a lot of money for her owners.

The girl followed Paul and the rest of us, and she kept yelling, “These men are servants of the Most High God!
They are telling you how to be saved.” This went on for several days. Finally, Paul got so upset that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ, I order you to leave this girl alone!” At once the evil spirit left her.

When the girl's owners realized they had lost all chances for making more money, they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them into court.

Can you see? She was a witch who could predict the future accurately. With it should made money for her owners. Were her predictions true? Yes. But were they from God? No.

Sir. Anywhere you go where a demand (for Money) is made before a solution to your problem is made. just know that another spirit is at work there and the glory you give goes to that spirit because Jesus won't the glory where he didn't put a demand.


If you believe that wherever you see a manifestation it means Jesus is there, then you are deceived.

No vex o.

Familiar Spirits plenty o. The only way you know is when the spirit speaking to you insist you live according to the Bible, for satan cannot encourage you to drop lying and speak the truth.

If you read my post, i said

So you see, I am not preaching that Jesus is real or whatever, I am saying that the "Spirit" is real! For the devil to do something, means there is a devil. If there is a devil, there is a God. That is my point.

If there is a teacher, there is a student, so also if there is a "student", there is a teacher. You cannot have a maid without a master. So that I know the devil and witchcraft and sorcery exists, means that God exists too.

That is why in my second post I said, Do what works for you. So I am not preaching religion or which one Christ is involved or not, but the evidence that the spirit exists.

This is exactly what the devil wants and it's exactly what most people of this age are doing - relativism.
We humans by our conscience know there must be a WAY of truth despite the numerous religious and agnostic practices today. That WAY is obviously not a religion, considering what religion has become today.
My friend, the only WAY to God, our Creator and Sustainer is CHRIST. Don't let the devil deceive you that ANYWAY will work. You want LIFE here and eternity, our Creator had given It through His Son (human revelation of Himself) Jesus Christ.

Oh okay. I get your perspective now.

Sorry pls.
