Conversations with God

Conversations with God should be the norm. They should come naturally. And yet, they don’t always come naturally. Why?

We live in an ungodly world. If you watch TV, you won’t see people having conversations with God. You may hear about people talking with other people, talking to themselves, or even having conversations or getting advice from demons, but you won’t see them having a conversation with God. If you listen to the radio, the same thing happens. The media and education system work together against God, and that’s not entirely by accident. They don’t mind religion, but they don’t want the true God. Even many in the church stopped talking about having conversations with God. Some Christians even fear seeking God. They say they believe the Bible, but they don’t believe the Bible when it says that we need to listen to Jesus Christ. No one who seeks Christ sincerely will receive anything other than Christ. Here are some Bible verses you can look up, but there are many other verses in the Bible on this subject: John 10:27, Matthew 7:7–11, Jeremiah 29:13, Luke 11:13, Proverbs 8:17, Hebrews 11:6, Revelation 3:20, John 8:47, Luke 6:46–47, and John 10:16.

The Bible says God speaks to every person. Jesus is the Light, and He gives light to every person (John 1:9). ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him (Colossians 2:3). And He gives wisdom and knowledge to every person (James 1:5, 1 Corinthians 1:30). Some people refuse to thank Him or even give Him the credit for the wisdom and knowledge He gives, and the Bible tells the consequences to those who don’t thank Him and give Him the glory (Romans 1). When God gives people understanding, they usually take the glory for themselves.

So, why don’t people speak about their conversations with God? The culture of the world is fallen under the control of Satan and opposes God’s leading. It encourages pride. It mocks those who listen to God. Even some Christians mock the truth that God is the ONLY Source of ALL wisdom and knowledge of the Truth. If you listen to God, the truth you receive is always in part, and your carnal mind may fill in the blanks and trick you. If you don’t listen to God, your carnal mind will absolutely trick you. Jesus is the Truth, and He is the ONLY Truth. So intimidation is a factor. Conditioning is a factor. Habit is a factor. And the influence of demons and the fallen carnal mind is a factor.

These are some of the reasons conversations with God are not the norm. There are no good reasons.

Now, you can have conversations with God. Here’s a short, concise explanation of how to do that. You can do it by asking questions, although you aren’t limited to asking questions. You can tell God you love Him any time you like. You can praise Him and thank Him for all He gives you. And you ought to do that all the time. It’s good to set aside some time every day to seek God to listen to His voice. If you do that, He will speak to you. He will lead you and teach you. He will even correct you from time to time. And you can look to Him regardless of what you’re doing. Why wouldn’t you want to live your life flowing with the wisdom and knowledge of the One Who knows all things and has all knowledge?

Your conversations with God will continue to go deeper and deeper as you continue to spend time in God’s presence. When you work, let His wisdom flow through you. When you’re trying to solve a problem, let Him counsel you. If you lose something, ask God to help you find it instead of stressing over it. Ask Him to answer the hard questions. God will reveal all the hidden secrets of truth to you. With truth comes freedom and power for righteousness. Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love. God designed you to be connected to Him. Without that constant connection, nothing works right. Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.

Ask God to answer these questions:

Why don’t you talk to God more than you do?
What does it mean that you live in an ungodly world?
Why don’t people talk about having conversations with God as much as they should?
What are some of the ways God speaks to every person?
The Bible says Jesus is the Light. What does that mean?

Bonus questions:

Why do some people take the glory for the wisdom and knowledge God gives them?
What are some of the reasons people don’t have conversations with God?
How can you talk to God and listen to Him in conversations?
What kind of things can you tell God when you talk to Him?
What kind of questions can you ask God when you talk to Him?

Now, you can have conversations with God. Here’s a short, concise explanation of how to do that. The “Reflection” portions of the lessons in this devotional also teach how to have conversations with God. You can do it by asking questions, although you aren’t limited to asking questions. You can tell God you love Him any time you like. You can praise Him and thank Him for all He gives you. And you ought to do that all the time.

Ask God to answer these questions:

Bonus questions:

If you are attacked because you believe what God says to you through Scripture

Stay Calm and Professional.
Why: Emotional responses can make you appear defensive or less credible.
How: Take a deep breath and maintain a tone of reason and respect, even when the criticism is harsh and unfair. Respond to the argument, not the emotion behind it.
Important: Look for any truth in the attack or any area where it points out that you could improve. Admit your faults right away and look to God to find out what you should do about them.

Refocus on Evidence and Logic.
Why: Grounding your argument in evidence makes it harder for others to dismiss you as irrational or unscientific. Remember that logic must be based on truth or it is unsound. Point out that the human mind can’t reason to truth. Typically, godless thinkers try to find some argument against this fact, but there is no rational argument against it. At a certain point, they are just making up stuff and calling the made-up stuff true. When they are talking about “evidence,” they are generally talking about a certain interpretation of an observation or Scripture. That interpretation is based on certain unprovable assumptions, so their claim of “evidence” is actually a claim that their unprovable assumptions are true. There is nothing irrational about divine revelation. God speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible. In fact, the only certain way to know the Bible is God’s word without error is the fact that the Holy Spirit testifies to its reliability whenever you ask God about it.
How: Ask questions like, “That’s an interesting perspective. Obviously, you have a reason for saying that. Do you mind if I ask you what it is?” You are gently and respectfully asking them how they know what they are claiming. And you are digging down to the root. They may be thinking this through for the first time in their lives, so be kind and understanding but persistent to get down to the root. You will have to be patient and continue to ask how they know each of their statements are true. They may shut down the conversation as they realize they have no true basis for what they’re saying. If they are wrong, the root will be, “I guess I’m just making the whole thing up.” The other option is divine revelation. You may be talking to a Christian who feels he or she has received direct divine revelation. In that case, if you don’t receive a confirmation from the Holy Spirit, it’s best to agree that you will both continue to pray about it and ask God to give clear leading. Don’t assume you are right. Otherwise, you can emphasize the scientific basis or logical inconsistencies in the axioms being questioned. For example: “I’m wondering whether these assumptions can stand up to the same level of scrutiny applied to other scientific theories.”

Point Out the Fallacy.
Why: Exposing flaws in the argument of your opponent can make them question baseless attacks.
How: If you’re being attacked for dogmatism, calmly point out the projection or double standard without being accusatory.

“It’s ironic that those who value open inquiry would label dissent as anti-science instead of engaging with the evidence. Can you provide evidence that God doesn’t act on the material world?”

Ask Thoughtful Questions, and when they answer, ask thoughtful questions about their answers.
Why: Shifting the burden of proof forces others to reflect on their assumptions.
How: Politely ask questions like:
“What is the evidence supporting the claim that these axioms must not be questioned?”
“If science is about testing assumptions, why shouldn’t these be tested too?”
Caution: Shifting the burden of proof becomes a foolish game if you imply that you don’t also have the burden of proof. Both people always have the burden of proof. However, no one can really prove anything to another person. Ultimately, God must prove the truth to all of us.

Find Allies.
Why: Being part of a supportive community can strengthen your position and credibility.
How: Connect with others who share your concerns or who value intellectual diversity, whether within scientific circles, faith-based groups, or interdisciplinary discussions. If necessary, you would stand alone with God against the whole world, but it’s good to have at least one friend who agrees with you. That’s one of the reasons for the church.

Disarm with Humility.
Why: Acknowledging uncertainties shows you’re committed to truth, not an agenda.
How: You can say:

“I’m open to revising my perspective as new evidence emerges. My goal is to pursue truth, wherever that leads. In fact, God is constantly correcting me, so I’m in a constant condition of transformation.”

Expose the Circular Reasoning.
Why: Revealing the self-reinforcing logic of their claims can be a powerful counter.
How: Show how their argument depends on assuming the very thing in question.

“If the rules of science assume God cannot be involved, how can we honestly evaluate evidence that might suggest otherwise?”

“If we say the Flood recorded in the Bible couldn’t have happened because there isn’t enough water to cover the whole earth, we would be assuming the Flood didn’t happen the way it’s recorded in the Bible to prove that the Flood didn’t happen the way it’s recorded in the Bible. Let me explain. The Bible says that the water for the flood came from inside the earth. It says that the mountains raised up and the valleys, the bottom of the oceans, dropped down at the end of the Flood. That would mean that the mountains were much lower and the oceans weren’t as deep before the flood, so it would take much less water to cover the whole earth. When the mountains raised up and the oceans got deeper, the water ran off into the oceans. Can you see how that changes the entire perspective?”

Document and Respond Publicly if the Attacks Are Public.
Why: A written or public response ensures your argument is clear and accessible.
How: If appropriate, publish articles, blog posts, or social media updates where you clearly explain your position and counter the attacks. Ensure your tone is respectful and constructive.

Highlight the Bigger Picture.
Why: Reminding others of the core principles of science (or faith) reframes the conversation.
How: Say something like:

“Science is about following the evidence wherever it leads. Shouldn’t we embrace that spirit, even when it challenges deeply held assumptions?”

Trust in God’s Guidance.
Why: As a person of faith, leaning on prayer and discernment ensures your response aligns with God’s will.
How: Pray for wisdom, grace, and the ability to respond with love, even in the face of hostility. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Seek to speak only the words He speaks through you by His authority and power. Let His glory and essence in you flow out in all the fruit of the Spirit beginning with love.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean to stay calm and professional?
Why is it important for you to use evidence and logic when talking to someone?
What is a fallacy?
Why should you ask thoughtful questions when talking to someone?
How do you find people who agree with you?

Bonus questions:

What does it mean for you to disarm with humility?
What is circular reasoning?
Why should you write or talk about what you believe publicly?
What is the bigger picture in science or faith?
How do you trust in God’s guidance when talking to others?

AVOID THESE DEEP AND DANGEROUS LIES

This post will touch lightly on several deep and dangerous lies. It won’t go into depth on any of them. The culture works hard to convince us of these lies. What’s the root, the mother of all lies? The root of the problem is the idea that the human mind can make up stuff and the made-up stuff is true. Of course, the intellectuals would never say it like that. It’s too obviously silly. They say they depend of evidence, logic, and reason. However, all rational thought must be based on truth. What do they say when you ask them where they get truth? Keep in mind that the human mind can’t reason to truth. And there is no way to understand evidence, observations, experiments, or experiences without truth. So, what do they say? They say, “Some truths are self-evident.” They say, “humans have truth their minds just know without needing to experience, observe, or receive divine revelation.” How silly, but it sounds almost right when they confidently proclaim it. They are saying, “We, the intellectual elite, all agree on certain ‘truths,’ and you lesser person, should just believe us because of our superior minds.” They use the word “axiom” because it sounds better than “made-up stuff.”

Axiom: A self-evident principle or one that is accepted as true without proof as the basis for argument; a postulate.

This is the lie of axioms. (more detail below) From the lie of axioms comes the lie of materialism, which claims only the material world exists. It is a form of atheism–no God, spirits, heaven, or hell. Building on materialism is the lie of naturalism, which claims there is a natural explanation for everything. In other words, God does nothing. From there, the liars expand to uniformitarianism, which claims everything has always been as it is now. This is the claim that the creation event and the Genesis Flood never happened. One sneaky lie is called “scientism.” Scientism is the unproven belief that science is the best (or only) path to knowledge. With all the lies of the ungodly, you will receive pressure, ridicule, hate, and even persecution if you don’t blindly support and embrace the lies of the culture.

Now, we will get to the twin lies of billions of years and molecules-to-humanity evolution. Think of the childish name-calling that so-called “intellectuals” use. Scientists who challenge or reject this story called “evolution” have often been labeled with terms meant to discredit their credibility or dismiss their views. Some of these terms include:

Creationist – Often used dismissively, implying the person rejects science.
Pseudoscientist – Suggesting they don’t use legitimate scientific methods.
Anti-science – Implying they are opposed to scientific progress or understanding.
Fundamentalist – Implying Biblical truth conflicts with scientific observations.
Science denier – The term “denier” implies that the stories of molecules turning into humans over billions of years are absolute truth. The term “science denier” implies that the stories of molecules-to-humanity-evolution are science, which they are not. They are stories.
Unqualified – Often used to attack a scientist’s credibility, regardless of their actual expertise in related fields.
Dogmatic – Suggesting they are closed-minded and driven by dogma rather than rational thought and truth.
Religious zealot – Framing them as fanatical or overly emotional.
Flat-earther – A derogatory term lumping them in with the flat earth idea. (Flat earth was cleverly promoted by an atheist as a way to deceive Christians. Flat earth is not in the Bible even though the atheist has managed to deceive some Christians by twisting some Scriptures by making stating assumptions as if they were facts.)
Obscurantist – Accusing them of deliberately trying to obscure or block scientific progress.

Ungodly thinkers often use these terms, or terms like them, in debates or discussions to frame anyone who questions the dogmas of old earth, evolution, or any other idea they want to push as unscientific or biased, regardless of the scientific merits of their research. Name-calling and ridicule are always irrational and childish. And yet, these tactics work because no one likes to be ridiculed or called a nasty name.

Ungodly thinkers are dogmatic and religiously zealous about many ungodly, unproven, and unprovable “axioms.” When a person questions these “axioms,” these ungodly thinkers accuse them of the very thing of which the ungodly thinkers themselves are guilty. This is known as projection—attributing their own faults, behaviors, or motivations to others. In this case, it’s accusing Christians of dogmatism or fanatical devotion to a cause while evolutionists are driven by their own dogmatism or fanatical devotion to the causes of ungodliness. No person who truly knows Christ is driven by dogmatism or fanatical devotion to a doctrine, organization, or other cause. As followers of Christ, we follow Christ, not a doctrine, prominent personality, or organization. We know Christ exists because of our personal experience with Him. We know Christ. He leads us. We know the Bible is reliable because the Holy Spirit reveals that fact to us, and He speaks to us through the Bible. We covered the stories called “evolution,” but what about people who think perversion is normal? What about the many other lies we hear all around us? What about all the other crazy ideas the media and educational systems push on us?

When you tell a dogmatic unbeliever about your experiences with Christ, that person may be fanatic enough to mock or ridicule you. When someone attacks you or ridicules you, it sometimes helps to ask questions to find out what they are thinking and why they are thinking it. You can try asking questions rather than arguing. It rarely helps to stoop to their level and enter into an angry argument.

Ask God to answer these questions:

What is a creationist?
What is projection?
Why is it projection when an evolutionist calls a creationist a pseudoscientist?
Why do some people say Bible-believers are anti-science?
Why do people call anyone who disagrees with them “unqualified?”

Bonus questions:

What should you do if someone calls you a fundamentalist?
What should you do if someone calls you dogmatic?
What should you do if someone calls you a religious zealot?
What should you do if someone calls you a flat-earther?
What should you do if someone calls you a science-denier?
Has anyone ever called you a name or ridiculed you for being a Christian? What did they do, and how did you handle it?

Bonus questions:

FREEDOM IN THE SPIRIT

You can have freedom in the Spirit.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17).”

When you try to follow Jesus Christ by your own power, you get bondage and frustration. In Christ, you are free.

Galatians 5:1 states, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free; stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”

In context of Galatians, the yoke of slavery is trying to be righteous by your own efforts rather that receiving God’s righteousness as a free gift.

Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”

Some Christians still say, “God gave us intelligent minds to figure things out.” That’s a deceitful statement.

Jeremiah 2:13 “For My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”

This Scripture sums up the problem. Religious people have many ways of trying to bottle up the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is like an ultimately powerful spiritual river that can’t be put into any dogma, theology, form, ritual, or any other bottle.

John 16:13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.”

You will have all truth. The truth will set you free. As anger, pride, and every human passion has made you a slave, the truth will set you free from all those passions. No vestige of them will be left. With freedom will come the power of the One Who created the heavens and the earth.

2 Corinthians 3:17 “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

Truth brings freedom and power.

Ephesians 3:16 “I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being.”

Ask God to answer these questions:

What does it mean that the Lord is the Spirit?
How does the Spirit bring freedom?
What does it mean when the Bible says the heart is deceitful?
What does it mean that Christ set you free?
What is a yoke of slavery?

Bonus questions:

What is God talking about when He says broken cisterns can’t hold water?
What is the water in the parable?
What are the cisterns in the parable?
Why can’t they hold water?
What is the Holy Spirit like in the parable?
What does it mean that the Spirit will guide me into all truth?
How does the truth set me free from my passions?
