The history of the Jews in the Bible shows that whenever they lost hold of the Covenent, they went into captivity.
They had serious hardship in captivity, God would help them to come back out, they would hold the Covenant once again - then lose hold of it, suffer more -- rinse, repeat ...
People of the
now are in captivity, but they can't really
identify why they are having hardship.
They have a vague knowing that
something just isn't right - and they have
many problems.
They try to improve on something, correct a situation, be more diligent, or whatever.
But this will
never bring them out of the captivity they are in.
You ask for evidence of the spiritual world.
It's a fair request.
I mentioned that for me to type things out will not really explain it as
evidence for you.
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
- God is Spirit
- We must believe that He is, and He rewards those who diligently seek Him
So I suggest this:
Seek Him and
truthfully see if He gives you the
spiritual evidence that I have spoken of.
Go to a quiet place.
Say,
"God, I really don't see evidence of You. But I would like to know You if you are there. I'm told that I am in captivity and I do feel that things could be better, so IF Christ is really real, yes, I am willing to accept that."
Soften you heart and
seek it out to see if the spiritual world is really there.
