Proof of God That People can see

    What is the major reason people do not believe in God? It is because they cannot see Him. That is a shame. There are so many people that claim to be "Christians". What does the word Christian mean? It means to be Christ like or better said, like Christ.
    The unbeliever has every reason not to believe in God. When was the last time they saw Him in person? We as Christians are too busy living "in the world" that we do not have time to act like Jesus. There used to be a saying, "What Would Jesus Do"?
    Jesus would take the time to pray with strangers. Jesus would tell people about Heaven. Jesus would bring Heaven to earth. Maybe we are not true believers. Maybe we are just Christian in name but not deed. This is the ultimate example of using the name of Jesus in vain. In vain means without power. If there is no power in our life as a Christian we are no different than an unbeliever except we are on our way to Heaven.
    If our going to Heaven was God's goal in saving us then He would have taken us to Heaven the moment we accept Christ as our Savior. He wants us to be fishers of men. An empty hook will not catch any fish. We must use a great lure. That lure is presenting Jesus to the world. Here are 3 different kinds of lures that are guaranteed to win souls.
    The first group is the group called prayer. Walk up to a stranger and ask them, "is there anything lacking in your life"? Most people will tell you what you can pray with them about. People will begin to hunt you down when they see that there is a God and He is concerned about them. Then you can lead them to the Lord.
    The second group of lures is Heaven. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God has plans for everybody's future. His ultimate plan is for all mankind to live forever with Him in heaven. Notice icebreakers like hairdos, tee shirts, tatoos and other unique items. A statement like, "God likes things like that", can open the door to tell them that God is proud of them and that He loves them. If you are in the grocery store then a simple statement like, "Making plans for supper"?, can open the door to tell them about God's plan for them.
    The last lure is a super lure. Pray for the sick, encourage someone who is in a wheelchair or wearing a cast. Healing is not possible in the natural, but it is possible by the power of the Holy Spirit. When an unbeliever is healed, they become a believer.
    Let's take Jesus to the world. Let's prove He is real.
