What Does God Believe?

If you are someone who is following a spiritual journey leading to the unfolding of enlightenment there will come a point where you suddenly are thankful that God does not believe. Truth doesn’t have the innate need to believe. Each of us have this need to believe within us – God doesn’t.

Have you ever considered what it means to “believe?” You’re a “believer” but just what does it mean to believe? Have you ever wondered if Jesus was a “believer” like you or was he a different “believer”? If Jesus is the son of God, did he even have an innate need to believe like we do?

Do you believe in gravity? I know this is a rather silly question to ask but bear with me for a moment as I attempt to shine a light on this subject. To believe in/on something means to choose between two or more options which have been offered to you and then select the “best.” The “best” is often the one which continues or maintains your survival with the least amount of risk. This is how most of our “beliefs” have been developed. Then comes gravity.

None of us were ever offered an alternative. This is because gravity is a truth. If something goes up, eventually it comes down. You might think well if we were in space we wouldn’t have to deal with gravity, but even up there everything is being pulled to something somewhere. So there really isn’t a belief in gravity – it just IS. Just like God.

“God is good.” How many times have you ever said or heard this phrase? Do you believe it? Seriously think about what it means to “believe” this claim. You need to have another option presented to you that is either opposite to this claim or is more favorable to your survival. Some people live a life where this claim is a hazard to their well-being so there is no way they would believe anyone who might profess such a harmful expression. But then a “believer” enters their life, and the struggle ensues. Faith versus Truth.

“God is love.” This is the New Testament revelation. How did this become considered a “new” belief? Was there another alternative prior which “everyone” seemed to believe? What were the survival barriers the older belief presented which this new belief overcame? As a “New Testament believer,” did you have this old belief before an opposite belief became open for you to adopt it?

“God is omnipresent.” The alternative to this is that He isn’t, right? And yet there are moments in our lives when we “need” to believe He is because the gravity of our reality is hopelessness. And there is the rub: Our perception of reality is always a series of alternatives we face trying to survive the hopelessness of living through past wrong decisions where God wasn’t even there for us. Unbelievable, right? Far from it for most. Beliefs can be so entrenched that truth can’t break through its desperately clutching grip.

“My Father and I are one.” Jesus made this claim not as his belief but as a truth. Regrettably, even up to today we don’t recognize the gravity of this declaration. There are those who “believe” how Jesus was able to make this claim was because he is (believed to be) the Son of God. Jesus never said this about his relationship to the Father; he often called himself the Son of Man. This title creates issues for believers because it places Jesus back in the fold of humanity with all of its warts and failures. This is not a very appealing alternative to base a “belief” upon.

Isn’t it fortunate how a Truth completely disregards every belief? Wouldn’t it seem better to let Truth be the compass on a spiritual journey rather than belief? It seems that most of what is Truth has been hijacked by institutional beliefs intended to keep the masses blindfolded through life. So how do you overcome this and get back on track?

Start with the Truths I have offered to you in this work. They are as follows:

1. God IS.
2. God is Good.
3. God is Love.
4. God is Omnipresent.
5. My Father and I are ONE.

Right now, you have a “belief” about each of these. Many of these beliefs aren’t even yours – you adopted them. This doesn’t matter. What you must do is remove the belief. How? Realize that what you believe is the “opposite” to Truth and as long as you can lay claim to the opposite, the belief remains. Consider how Adam told God that he was naked. God asked him who told him he was naked. Adam’s “belief” founded on the knowledge of good and evil (opposites) couldn’t surrender to the Truth God knew about the man and woman.

There are many more truths to uncover but the process will be the same for each one. You must submit every belief you hold up to the light of Truth. Then you can begin the process of integrating Truth back into your life. This process will involve meditation and contemplation on the Truths and how they influence your life activities.

Understand that this is not a one-time deal. This is a lifestyle. I’m not going to tell you it will be easy to accomplish because it takes tenacity to cut through all the tangled webs of beliefs which permeate our lives. But there is always grace to do the job. I’ve come to a point where I realize grace is possibly the best gift given to us to bust out of the grave clothes of our limiting beliefs and robed in the Truths of the kingdom of God. I might have said in the past that I believe you can do this; however, today, I will merely say do it with no opposite intended or offered.
