Young Adults - REALITY

REALITY

1.He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

Is God Real in your lives?

The way we connect to a person in our family, in our friends in a tangible way,
how do we connect to unseen God in a tangible way.

(let the group talk).

Psalm 145:18
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.


For God to be real in our lives. you need to ask God to be real in our lives.
If you want to know whether a certain food is tasty, you got to eat the food, then only you can say the food is tasty.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.


One of the things that I did recently with my kids to impress upon their hearts that God is real. 

Few days back, my 5 year old daughter was having fever. The second day night before sleep, I wanted this opportunity to be used to tell them that Jesus is real for them. 

Before they went to bed, i asked my son to ask Jesus to heal his sister.
He in his little prayer, said Jesus heal my sister, morning she should not have any fever and they both went to sleep.

Then I asked God , God heal my daughter. The whole night my wife and myself were watching , any fever, no fever,  and early in the morning, woke up and praying for no fever, so they will know that Jesus healed her. Morning she wokeup happily and I told my son you prayed and Jesus healed.
and we all knelt down prayed, Jesus Shalom prayed and Lord you healed sister.

I was just thanking God.


You need to have experiences with God, walking with God.


Few years back in our Church sunday school, i started a small program called 
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".

Some stopped watching TV for few days, some stopped eating chocolates, and when i was doing this.
While going back home i was thinking about this program, Lord this program is started, and as i was thinking there was car in front of me  a very old car and that caught my attention and i saw the number plate  and it was PHIL 413

Few years back, my passport has expired.


Reality of Life - 

If you see the Life of Lord Jesus, you will know the reality of life.

For example : Samaritan woman judgement.

Here Jesus says go, call your husband and come here. 
Checking for honest.
The best thing you can do in life is being honest.
There is more hope for honest people than the ones who act/pretend.
when you are honest - Jesus goes deep into your life.
Jesus did not say, you sinner, you got married and divorced five times and now you have a boyfriend who also does not want to marry you.

We see in this world, people calling out names, characters, you are like that , you are like this.
But welcome to the World of Jesus, he does not apply band aids, he goes deep inside.

People condemning sinners. 
Don't apply bandages - but go deep - Boils example

Infact it was not the woman who divorced, but it was men who divorced in those days, she was rejected by five men, and now the one who was living does not want to marry.
