God Has Made a Way

There is a God who made all things I’ve seen him and I’ve been above I know about the good He brings And life is made by His great love Heaven is as real as Earth They beauty is beyond compare There really is a brand new birth And we’ll soon meet Jesus in the air It was all so good when it began But then evil came and they chose sin And the devil took the Earth from man He’s the liar and brought the evil in God sent His Son to give us hope All good, it comes from Him above Bad choices gave us no more rope Yes, God is life and God is love Religion is not what God had planned But He sent His Son to show the way Religion wanted Jesus banned And they tried to take our Lord away Each person’s evil in his heart They lie and cheat and steal and kill Choosing evil seems their part And their father is the devil still Christ died for us while sinners still All evil’s from the evil one not God God made a way in Jesus, a better will That He gives eternal life seems odd If you believe He died for you And call Him Lord it in the words you speak He gives everlasting life, it’s true It is the hope inside we seek He raised the dead and healed them all Gave God’s example as He should To the whole world He gives His call What He did we can and do the good Call to Him, be born-again to life Past sins are all then washed away Don’t bring them up or search for strife They are gone, forgotten, far away The devil’s here to trip us up To try to trap us as we walk He offers you his empty cup And puts evil in the words we talk There is none righteous, no not one I’m not good, not me, not you, not any We need the life that’s in God’s Son Though we’ve been bad and our sins many To God a thousand years is as a day And a day is as a thousand years So time is not to Him as we might say But God’s in charge and judgment nears There is an evil enemy that’s loose Who seeks to steal, to kill and to destroy He’ll tie around your neck a noose Don’t listen to evil one’s new ploy Jesus is the truth, the life, the way True life is supernatural for sure Open up your heart and give Him sway You will find His life and love is pure

I always find it interesting how non believers seem to think believers lack intelligent thought. Like you I have pondered these thoughts and in the end faith came by having God show me over and over that He is true to his word. For me the intricacy of the world and universe all point to an intelligent designer not some random coming together of particles.

I have two scientific degrees so I look at things scientifically as well. Good end evil is real, the spiritual realm is real and I have yet to see real proof of evolution...natural selection from a much greater gene pool than we understand and possible intelligently directed design. But man to change as much as they say he has in only tens of thousands of years, no way. Chance and probability say not possible. Mutation is almost always fatal. Just the random change of the order of two amino acids in the protein of the hemoglobin molecule is fatal (sickle cell anemia). Thought, telepathy and such things of the mind are also poorly understood at this time. Science an religion will come to the same end point some day, if we ever make it that far. The Lord is coming soon and the mark of the beast spoken of in the Bible is already being used in some places. That alone should open people's eyes.

Hi Nigel, read my poem "Tell Me". I am curious to have your impression.

Yes, I do and, well, you asked. I didn't get what I believe from organized religion and Churches but from the Lord. He has shown himself to me, taken me up to Heaven once and has healed me many times, twice of incurable diseases where I was crippled and given up on by the doctors. I do believe though that the Church as a whole is deficient in that you rarely see a demonstration of the Spirit and power that is needed by the people. Aliss Cresswell is one of the best to prove this and you can see her site at morningstareurope.org if you like. I appreciate your opinion since I was the same in the past. Blessings to you.
