I have had a few friends recently ask me how do i know there is a God? Another question asked by a friend was is there an afterlife, or heaven? If so how do we know this?

I can only answer these questions from my own back ground experiences, and the knowledge i have gained through out my life.

For me personally I have felt his presence since i was a young child. God just was felt and known. As I matured and aged I have learned that the word ( the bible) has shown me the face of God. If one really thinks about the bible one will know it is the oldest book around with the author still living.

I simply have faith that God is real. I gained this faith through facts. Facts that are in the bible. When i stay in the word I feel God's presence in me.

James 4:8 tells us to "Draw near to God and He will draw near..."
Intimacy is part of revelation as we draw close we can hear and better understand what he has to say.


John 8:32 tells us " You shall know the truth and the truth will make you free."

Jesus said He is the Truth (John 14:6)

As we seek to know Him, we see areas of sin and bondage in our life and will be set on the path of freedom and wholeness.

All I know, all I have learned and all that I am, is because of my "faith" through believing in Jesus, and reading the word.

I gain my faith through the reading of the word. My faith is made stronger every single day when I am reading of the word. When you have facts to back up ones faith and beliefs it allows your soul to become stronger.

A strong soul, spirit and body allows me to walk in this life hand in hand with my Lord. He has stated that there is eternal life in his living word.

This is how i know that there is a God, and a heaven.

I stay in the word, and in doing so I know that the only way to eternal life is to use the bible as my guide on how to live, and how to stay strong in my belief. If i do not do this, doors are open for unbelief. I know the enemy will use any way he can get into ones soul to bring about questioning of ones faith.


John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

I am a strong believer in Good verses Evil. If I am not in the word, then Evil will try and turn my faith and make me fearful. Fear is a good way to kill off the spirit. It is a way to deaden ones spirit and soul. I have been in that place where the soul and spirit are no longer living. I now know to guard my spirit and soul with life. Life being the word. I keep my faith strong now which allows love to shine through and a light to be seen in ones soul.

I know these things because I believe in them. I know them because I have faith that Jesus is my Savior and he died for my sins. My faith is based on the facts of reading and staying in the word.

Blessings.
