How To Seek God Simply

   

I bet some when some people hear others talking about "seeking God" they really wish they knew what it meant and what they do in order to seek God.
The term "seek" is a verb denoting a action. You are engaged in a process. How is that? are your getting a backpack full and starting on a journey to the City of God as if its a certain distance away? haha no it's more of a mind set i'll give you a encouragement and some ways to start. -Kevin

     Sometimes seeking God takes alot of work, takes days, weeks, even months to find what you have been seeking God for. It starts slow, you may have to force yourself to open up your Bible and look for a word and you pray for a few minutes. Then the next day and you read a little bit longer searching harder for God to say something to your situation, but cant find anything so you pray a little bit longer and harder. You get discourage but keep at it. Then a week goes by and you are starting to read atleast a hour and pray for a hour.

Then suddenly slowly, or randomly, all the things you have been reading and praying about come together in a spiritual way, and your mind and soul find a truth or answers to prayer that is pure comfort or revelation exactly for your situation. You get hit with the fact God really has been leading you the whole time, as soon as you set your heart to seek Him.

Many times the presence of God comes to you in your mind and heart, completely covered with the peace that surpasses all understanding, once you have sought genuinely Him through prayer and Scripture. Even if you are seeking a escape from a long term temptation or simple stuff like "I want to know You Lord". This is a promise that if you seek God you will find Him. You have sought God with as much of your heart as you know how to use and found Him, and He blesses you. I promise, no, God promises if you seek Him you will find Him no matter where you are at.

 Jeremiah 29:12- You will seek Me, and you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

Beliefs and loving ministry to Muslims.

Islam basic apologetics

1. What do Muslims believe about Jesus?

These are basic things most all Muslims from all sects will agree upon.

       

        a) Jesus was a great prophet

        b) Jesus was the Christ.

        c)  Jesus was born of the virgin Mary.

        d) The Quran speaks about Jesus more then any other prophet.

        e) Jesus prophesied the coming of Muhammad.

In contrast to what they do not affirm

      

        a) Jesus is not the Son of God, God has no Son.

        b) Jesus was not crucified.

        c)  Jesus did not resurrect.

        d) Jesus is not God.

2. What do Muslims believe about the Bible?

       a)  The Torah, The prophets, Psalms and the Gospel, The Bible was revealed by God.

       b) The book we have "the Bible" is corrupted.

      

Basic arguments you will encounter.

1. How can Jesus be God when He ate food?
2. How can God become a man?
3. The Bible can not be the Word of God there's so many of them.
4. If Jesus was God how could He die on the cross, how does God die?

One Apologetic would go>>

Problem: You ask, how can we defend all these when they don't believe the Bible? You can show them in the Bible but they write it off right?

Solution: You have to show them with their Quran how the Bible is the Word of God that can not be altered. Then based upon the Quran affirming the Bible proceed showing them the Biblical data.

The Quran affirming the Bible

Quran 3:84 "

"We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him.From <https://quran.com/3/84>

Also see Quran 7:157, Quran 2:89

The Word of God can not be corrupted

Quran 6:115

And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice. None can alter His words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.From <https://quran.com/6/115>

Then proceed to show to show them the Quran tells us "people of the book/or Gospel" (meanings Jews and Christians) are told by the Quran to judge the Quran by our book.

Quran 5:47

And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient.From <https://quran.com/5/47>

These will at-least bring up doubts that Islam and the Quran are the one true religion. If you are serious about Muslims specifically, memorize these verses, have them on hand in your mind, formulate a method where you are leading the conversation and you know what they are going to say or object to next.
