How
to know what is true . . .
So
how do we sort through all the beliefs, teachings,
and ideas that so many people already have,
including this site, and get to the TRUTH?!!
How can WE know that what is being said here is
actually the real Truth? . . . There are actually a few ways one can know
for sure. Isn't that comforting? Yes, their are definate ways to know if
what you're learning from someone is true!! Actually, there may be
more ways to know than are mentioned here, but laid out below are some
key requirements that should be present when seeking the Truth.
First and formost, the following
MUST occur either before or after you have learned about the Truth . .
.
You must gain a personal spiritual
testimony!!
The Truth doesn't expect you to take someone else's word for
it. The Truth will testify of ITSELF either before (to encourage
you to seek it) or just after someone has shared it with you (so you will
continue on the path). Personal spiritual testimony is by
far the most powerful evidence between knowing what is true, and what is
just an idea dreamed up by a friend with good intentions.
I can give you a GUARANTEE that if you are sincere and seek earnestly,
you will have POWERFUL experiences that can be LIFE CHANGING! This
will be an indication to you that I'M not just making this up and
that YOU are on the right path. For some, angels have even
appeared and declared the Truth from on high! These people have become
very special witnesses of the Truth and have helped to bring this website
about. One great way to experience life changing events that will
be talked about later, is through the highly misunderstood power of prayer
that can change your life FOREVER.
Next, we need to know where
to obtain the Truth.
Remember, no matter what it is
that you are learning about, you must obtain a PERSONAL SPIRITUAL TESTIMONY
of it. If you can't seem to obtain it right away, keep trying until
you are sure that a Testimony is not coming!! The Truth will not
keep you waiting, it will only delay to be sure that you are ready and
that your 'seeking' is genuine. You will know what to do when the
time comes.
The following are indications
that the Truth is present . . .
-
MULTIPLE WITNESSES!!! (not just one, but multiple witnesses) All of the
truths we'll be discussing later all have this in common. They are all
verified by groups of people (not individuals, only) but several people
that have personally witnessed with their own eyes, ears, etc. a given
event, heavenly visit, or whatever the case may be. Many people try to
explain away group witnesses as mass hallucination or group deception.
If you are one of these people, I'll ask you this: What will make YOU believe?
Is your whole life just a dream? If you died tomorrow and stood before
God, would you say, "Oh, this is just an illusion"? At what point would
you acknowledge that He was standing before you? When would you believe?
At some point in our lives, we must make a decision to believe 'multiple
witnesses'. So far, history has reliably demonstrated that collective witnesses
most usually are not in secret collaboration with each other and also that
they are not mass hallucinating. BEWARE OF MODERN DAY PHILOSOPHIES
!! Some clever people will try to explain away just about anything and
everything.
-
Miracles. What's a miracle? Miracle: an event or effect
contrary to the established constitution and course of things, or a deviation
from the known laws of nature; a supernatural event, or one transcending
the ordinary laws by which the universe is governed. If you discover
miracles taking place, then you are likely to be close to the Truth.
-
If there is someone (even just an individual) who is able to reliably predict
future events or perform miracles which would demonstrate a power greater
than man usually possesses, and good always comes from the person's supernatural
abilities, then as has been shown time and time again, this type of person
is most likely in touch with some level of the Truth! This is one way to
know if a prophet is really a prophet.
-
Another way to identify truth is to try what you are learning and see the
cause and effect in your life. This means, if someone you know claims to
know the truth about, for example, God, then you try the things they suggest
about God in your own life and see that it really works, then there IS
truth in what you've learned.
Finally, I still have to mention this last, but definately not least:
You still need some FAITH. That's just how the Truth works. You first need
to exercise your faith, . . . then in seeing your faith, the Truth will
break through and reveal to you the greatest of mysteries!! I'm not
asking you to have faith in us. Have faith in the Truth. I promise you,
it will NEVER, EVER, EVER, let you down.
