Struggling With the Unseen

Questions, questions, I have lots of questions.

I guess I always did. Even in the first-person shooter games, it never was about just blowing things up. It was a curiosity over what was around the corner or over that hill. The questions... what was there... and can I blow it up?

I think that one of the reasons I get so stuck sitting for hours watching these short videos on Facebook is that very question. No, not the blowing it up part, although...

It is the curiosity over what is next. With the algorithms they are purposely setup to glue you to the phone in order to sell your brain as a target for advertising. Even knowing this, hours go by and I have been completely useless. Except for the additional questions.

Lately, the algorithm has stuck me with an odd combination of videos that talk of the atomic level and smaller, also, the demonic or spiritual videos. Two sides of what isn't normally seen.

God knows.

I do not.

I, like most searchers, can only guess based on the information we have and sort through trying to figure out if it is true or not. Still, guess I do.

I have seen some things. No, not the atomic level stuff, but the spiritual stuff. I have seen angels. I have seen demons. I have seen God do many things. I have evidence. I have seen with my own eyes, felt with my own skin, heard with my own ears, and preserved with my own mind. Ah, but like the study of the unseen quantum level world, the spiritual one only offers each a limited glimpse, and it is so easy to get it wrong.

Electrons do not orbit the nucleus. That was a new one to me. The guy in the video, a supposed "expert" knew the mathematics and studies later than the ones I had heard previously. Was he lying? Was he wrong? Was he accurate with newer information? How could I know?

God knows.

Obviously, we have as a race, grown to learn and share with the next generation what we do learn. We no longer believe in a flat earth... OK, Well the conspiracy folks who won't trust what's in front of them, well, there is not much you can do. Still, we learn. We learn by seeking truth.

On the spiritual matters, I have learned from my own experiences. I can extrapolate them and compare to other sources to gain a better, bigger perspective. Scripture is super important here. That, and a lot of time asking God for clarity. Still, other people can be useful, however, you have to sift through what they say using what God has already taught me.

Oh, I could have it wrong, so there is a concern. Here is where knowing and trusting God is huge.

First off, He has my best interest in mind and heart... always. That doesn't mean He won't let me get it wrong. I have that as an experience, over and over. I have seen, often enough, that going down the wrong path has a better end result for growth, than a simple path of truth. I figure; I learn better when I whack my head...

Early on in my walk with God, I believed as most taught that I had to be aware, ready and watching for dangerous entities who only wanted my destruction. I have quite a few interactions with God where HE showed me the stupidity and lack of faith in doing so. I understand, very confidently, that God is in complete control over every aspect of my life. I need not fear or be even a little concerned of some demonic entity making a mess of my world.

I don't. Not at all.

You see, God wants His children to know and trust Him. How can I trust Him if He is at some itchy level of "Oh, no, I didn't see that attack coming!". He is not. Not even remotely.

Look, every time I have had an angelic or demonic encounter, IT WAS ORCHESTRATED. Yes, God Himself set up the circumstance, placed in limiters, and had absolute control over every miniscule part of the situation... Not just for me, but I have witnessed it for others as well.

So, while I struggle with wanting to see down to the quantum level, I know full well that I have to wait until God gives some man a means to see that small, or I get to see that view after He returns. The same holds true for the spiritual. Unless God reveals it one way or another, I will only make guesses and have to judge the word of some guy behind a pulpit or video camera. It is just the way of things... for now.

I can, however, use what I do know to readily dismiss the obvious errors that many teach... even if they say they saw it first-hand.

God had concretely shown me of His control, and authority in these matters. So, when a teacher/preacher/charlatan speaks of a need to be knowledgeable, powerful, or proud, I know he is wrong. I don't need to pray a special way, commanding spirits and space. I just need to trust God. If I need to do something, He will let me know. If I need to say something, He will let me know. If I have some special authority, He will tell me when to use it. I am not ascending. I am submitting and trusting.

THAT is all His children need to do.

Seek first HIM and His Kingdom... everything else we need comes off of that.

His Kingdom is knowing and surrendering to His authority.

Do you doubt He is King over all?

Well, He just might, then, send you some demonic entity to teach you otherwise. Ah, but do not trust in yourself, He is the only one who really, really knows what is unseen.
