This was a personal revelation I got about the people who teach with big words. Teaching like this and trying to be cool and sound mysterious is the same mindset as pride trying to exalt yourself or put yourself above others for your gifts and when we use unnecessary words that have simpler synonyms but choose to complicate our speech beyond just using a spiritual term itself, this blocks people from learning the gospel itself because the word of god/the scriptures can even be understood by children and god gave us the bare minimum when he gave us the 10 commandments so saying something like “you cannot slaughter fellow individuals” rather than “thou shalt not kill thy neighbor” can over complicate things and if someone’s teachings can only be understood by the most advanced philosophers or people like that then you are blocking others from learning the gospel as you attempt to share it. And doing that just for your popularity or reputation to be known as mysterious and knowledgeable is not okay. so as Jesus would say “go your way and sin no more”

When you are walking with Jesus everyday it’s easy to get caught up in seeking perfection more then you seek god. So instead of acting as your own god and trying to perfect yourself. be faithfully devoted to god and seek him because when you seek him and grow your relationship with him he resides in your heart and changes the desires of your heart as you walk WITH him not behind him. So you don’t need to overcomplicate it because god will lead you through the complicated stuff just avoid willfully sinning on purpose and seek the lord with all your heart and mind.

God is in constant relentless pursuit of you. Like a father he wishes to have a relationship and a bond with you not for his own benefit but for closeness with you. Us humans look at outward appearances but god sees our hearts and intentions. So god never left you. SEEK HIM and you WILL find HIM.

Luke 11:9-10 KJV “and I say unto you ask, and it shall be given you seek and you shall find knock, and it shall be opened unto you for everyone that asketh receiveth and he that see findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened”

The lack of gods presence in your life may be the reason you feel pressured by life. Pure joy and peace only comes from god so if you don’t feel comforted in your battles or brought peace even in your deepest heartaches then it probably stems from your relationship with god “cast your burdens on him for he cares for you” but one thing to remember is that god is not a get out of hell free card or antidepressants he won’t remove the storm but he will strengthen you so you are better prepared for the battle and if god is for you who can be against you so pick your path both are uncomfortable but one will leave you with no benefit and the path with god will benefit you and others despite your struggles.

It is valid to be confused about what makes Christianity so popular in a world full of many religions. But God has not hid his face from you. for most of us It is our own arrogance that leads us away from God whether that feels good to hear or not good to hear it may be true in many situations sorry but because of this, if you ask God to reveal himself to you, he will do it what will stop Him from reaching out to you if we claim as Christians that our God is not limited, then we better be prepared to stand by it, but to be fair, nothing has actually been proven to be true. There’s only evidence supporting those things and that’s how we draw a conclusion, but we have no proof of anything so ask God himself to show you if you can’t have faith that he exists ask him to show you himself it takes faith to believe in the Big Bang theory, and it takes faith to believe in Christianity, but it will be shown to you whether he is true or not if you ask him but God is shown all around us. His creation is all around us. The complexity of everything around us shows that God was behind it not dust “but ask, and ye shall receive knock and it shall be open to you.” but remember God is not obligated to show you that he is real and the people that walk by faith and not by sight are blessed.

We need to acknowledge that Christianity isn’t a title it’s a lifestyle if you claim to be Christian, but you do not reflect Christ you are not Christian even the demons believe and they tremble at the name of Jesus, but there’s no need to fear because our Lord is merciful none of your mistakes are too big for the Lord Nothing can hinder him. To be forgive You need to first accept that you need Jesus Christ and that you’re not perfect and accept that you need a savior. And if you humbly request to God that you want to be better than what you’ve been, and you don’t want to survive life off of sin then acknowledge in your heart that his way is better than your way. His plans are better than your plans and that you need to depend on God and then devote yourself to him. If you are truly apologetic, there will be change in your life. deny yourself of all the things that you crave spiritually part of for penance may even be acknowledging that you will not find satisfaction in sin. only your creator can satisfy your needs. And if you love him, keep his commandments, study the scriptures diligently if you feel trapped by sin by bad habits and things of that nature and Jesus can set you free have faith “ he who the son sets free is free indeed”
