I know no one will read this article that I write because this is very long and most people are not interested in the Bible. But I want you to know people that this is the beginning of the "International Steemit Music Video - Part II." This is a hint.
There is nothing that there will be more compelling to believe that something we can find in our being. The existence of God can be proven in so many manners but the first and the best way to prove that there is God and to believe that he really exists is within ourselves. Let us read the book of Chronicles 28:9 it says,
Chronicles 28:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 - And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.
There is an assurance in the Bible that if you will seek God and if you want to know that he exists if you want to know that he really exists you will find him. The Bible tells us, he will be found of thee; the Bible speaking to Solomon that time. Solomon will find God when, where, how? It's very clear, God searches all hearts and understands that all the imaginations of the thoughts. Within us, God has a way to convey the message that we exist and you can find him within you. You can find him in y our heart. You can find him in your thoughts. That's what the bible says.
How do we know that you can find him in your heart and in your being?
Let us read another verse from Romans 2:14,
Romans 2:14-15
King James Version (KJV)
14 - For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 - Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
The Apostle Paul said in this verses that the Gentiles who have not heard of Christ who has not heard of God when they by nature do the things contained in the law, this Gentiles who do not have the law are a law from themselves. What is that law? The law is in their heart which shows the work of the law written in their hearts and their conscience.
There is something in us which the Bible calls the "conscience". Deep within our being in our hearts, there is a conscience. That conscience will dictate to you that there is God. Our thoughts, our imagination, our thinking, will prove to us that there is God. How can that be? is that possible? Let us read in the book of Romans 1:19,
Romans 1:19
King James Version (KJV)
19 - Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 - For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
The eternal power of God is manifest by the things which he has made. The invisible things of God become visible from the creation of the physical world. The world that we can see. Being understood according to Paul by the things that are made. The making of the maker introduces the kind of the maker.
We have a chair and table, and I know that someone made it. It did not come into existence because the table grew here by itself. This is the table and chair because the carpenter has done it. Although I have not seen the carpenter by the way that the table was constructed or was made, I believe that the one who made this table is understanding carpenter and a good carpenter. The smoothness of the table, the level of the legs of the table showed me that the one who made it is an intelligent carpenter.
I'm saying this as an example. Not all things that we can see on this earth are made by human being. Although this table and chair were made by a human being, the wood that used in making the table and chair is not made by human being. It was made to grow on earth by a power which the Bible calls God. The Bible tells us that God caused every living thing to exist on these earth.
By the things that he has made, we will have an idea about his power and Godhead of his being. We can see the sun which has been there for billions of years which the scientist believes to stay there for five billion years. It seems that the power of the sun to generate heat in life is almost inexhaustible that display the eternal power of God to burn up a fire that will last for ten or fifteen billion years that staying there in the same size and not reducing its size is something that displays the eternal power of God who made the sun and the other stars in our galaxy and in the universe.
These things came into existence and not by chance. Why not by chance? As others believe in the BigBang? Why do I believe it is not by chance or by the Big Bang that these things have come into existence. Because they were carefully planned an engineer to be in a perfect distance in a perfect mixture of elements for them to exist like the earth. And no man can make this; the Bible calls the maker God. Other call him this existence came by nature and this is what they said. They call him nature but I call him God, the one that causes the existence of everything is God. Let us read in the book of Act 17:24,
Act 17:24-26
King James Version (KJV)
24 - God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 - Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 - And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
It is God that caused us to exist and to live the life has its source, the breath that was given by God to every existing and our existence proves the existence of God. It is illogical to think that we exist if we come to something that does not exist. If we came from something that does not exist, why do we have the ability to exist? And the Bible tells us the truth. He gave it to all life and breath and all things.
Asked all scientist, we do not exist because there is food. We do not exist because there is water. Although some say that water and food is life etc. But those are all secondary; the very reason why we exist we breathe and there is somebody who gives us the breath and life and all the things necessary for us to continue breathing or existing and that the Bible calls God. God is the cause of life. It is a scientific principle that I remember when I'm in Elementary, that nothing happens without a cause. And our existence happens because there is a cause. And the cause according to the Bible is the existence of God.
Why are we going to question his existence when we ourselves are witnesses to our own existence
Can we exist without him? There was somebody who causes our existence and that is called in the Bible as God. And we will know his Majesty's power and Godhead by the things that are made. If we are going to understand the creation according to the verse in Romans 1:20,
Romans 1:20
King James Version (KJV)
20 - For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
We will understand that he really exist by the things that he has made. His creation reveals the kind of creature he is; our existence reveals the existence of that someone caused of our existence and those are the biblical proof that God really exists.
And one thing very important proof that God does exist is the fulfillment of the word he has caused to be written in his holy book, the Bible. There is nobody that can see the future, according to the Lord and this is his claim and up to now I haven't see or met anybody who can refute this claim of the Lord. Read this verse Isaiah 46:9,
Isaiah 46:9-10
King James Version (KJV)
9 - Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 - Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
God is a God who declares the end of something even from its beginning. He is the power that can see the end from the beginning that can foretell the end from the beginning from the start and nobody likes him, and nobody can do that, we human beings can do that, we do not even know the nearest future and nearest future is tomorrow. We cannot even say what will happen tomorrow. Let us read Proverbs 27:1,
Proverbs 27:1
King James Version (KJV)
1 - Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
This is the pronouncement of the Bible that no one can deny, no human being can boast of what will happen tomorrow. No human beings know what a day may bring forth.
"Somebody bakes a cake at 11 o'clock in the evening and said this will be our breakfast. And they are hopeful the next day they will eat the cake at their breakfast. But the evening an airplane crashed over their house and none of them have tasted the cake.
Proving only that human beings do not know what will happen in the future. But God tells us that there is none like him who can tell the end from the beginning and it is true! The Bible tells us the prophecy that is now unfolding before our very eyes which were said many thousand years ago even before we realize it is now happening to us. Like what the prophecy of the book of Daniel 12:4 said,
Daniel 12:4
King James Version (KJV)
4 - But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
This was prophesied, and said by God about 2600 years ago. It is contained in the manuscript of the Bible that has existed. We have now in our libraries on the world like in the British Museum, British Library, in the Vatican Museum, in the Washington Museum, and in Egypt. There is a manuscript of the Bible that dates back to the 3rd Century, 4th Century of our common era. They are old as 2,000 years old, and 2,00 years ago were in these prophecies was written nobody had the idea of an cellphone or man going and stepping to the surface of the moon. But God has said that many hundreds of years ago before the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth and the prophecy is the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
And we are the witnesses to this fact that are really manny running to and fro on land, on the seas, in space, in heaven etc. No one will suspect in the time that the right brothers are trying to construct a flying machine. No one will suspect that there will be an Airbus 380 that can carry all the luxuries that we enjoy on earth. Fly above the air in 8hours or more with all the convenience of land and nobody will think of that but the Bible tells us. Many hundred and thousand years ago it is contained in the Bible this prophecy that knowledge shall be increased. The idea of the cell phone with internet and everything that we enjoy now are proof to that fact that there was somebody who knows the end from the beginning that has said this in the Bible.
And this is the evidence that convinces me that there is really a God and God does really exist and I was convinced by his word. And there is no harder evidence of the existence of God than the fulfillment of his words. No human being can do that. And that is why the Bible is a unique book because it is the only book that pronounces what will happen even before it happens according to the Bible.
There are other proofs of course of existence of God. Our conscience, our spirit, our hearts will prove that even our emotions even is a witness of God. God's thought, Go's way, God's justice is all in the Bible. If you are going to acquaint yourself with the Bible and if you are going to read by the heart, I believe that also God will reveal himself to all of you. May God bless all of you.

Excellent text and quotes the correct verses, when you say in a paragraph that everything has cause and effect, that the physicist Isaac Newton named it as his third law, Law of action and reaction, is nothing other than the Law of sowing and harvest. ·
The Water Cycle ..... Look where ... In the Book of Amos, chapter 5: 8, I would complement another teaching with God's Love towards us, that is the greatest thing that exists.
That was right... Definitely correct the book of Amos 5:8.
Greetings a little long but it looks interesting, I finish it tomorrow
