Hearsay Faith & Second Hand Seeking

If you want to know God you will have to seek Him yourself. You may be able to learn about Him from someone else’s revelation but the only way to get to know Him is to spend time with Him yourself. The Bible does not say that your Pastor, Preacher or Teacher shall seek Him and find Him for you. You may be thinking, “Well I didn’t even know He was lost!” but He is to those who don’t know to get a hold of Him. Is He in your contact list or do you have to call someone else to get His number? When you want to know His will do you simply ask Him or do you have to go find someone else to see what they think about it? The truth is He is always present and available but you can spend days or years in the same room with someone and never get to know them if you don’t engage in conversation. He wants to talk to you everyday in different ways the question is; will you listen and respond? The way to do it is to pray which simply means to talk to God. And you know what happens when you talk to God? He ignores you? No, that would be rude, and God’s not like that, He talks back. He will speak to you from the inside out and reveal Himself to you by His Spirit and from His Word. You don’t have to just take someone else’s word for it and live in some kind of hand me down religion. You can have brand new and personal conversations with God Himself everyday. When you seek Him you will receive the great reward of knowing Him for yourself and there truly is no one more awesome than He!


Heb 11:6
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.
NKJV

Gen 15:1
15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."
NKJV
