God is a true, live entity and is not the product of the mind of man. He is as real as the air we breath, as real as any tangible object. As my fellow Helium writers know by now, I am a dedicated Christian and have spent many years overseas as a missionary.

I currently assist workers in India, Sri-Lanka, El Salvador and perhaps soon Borneo. I think this gives me a little credibility concerning God and Religion.

Jesus told us that "God the Father is a Spirit." We know that Jesus possessed incredible Spiritual power and performed astonishing miracles, which he explained came from God.

It would be foolish, knowing the nature of Jesus and his impact on history, not to believe his words. For him to make such an impact on the world, his works must have astonished the people of his day. He must have received his power from somewhere!

God is a Spirit with unlimited power, love and compassion. Although he is a Spirit, he can take on any physical form that he desires. We see this time and time again in The Bible. If we read the first chapter of Ezekiel, seventh chapter of Daniel and Revelation chapter four, we see a clear description of this awesome God, seated on his throne. The fact that he has a throne is a clear indication that he has a form.

Notice in each case he has a different appearance, but clearly his shape is human-like. This is totally amazing! He even appeared to Abraham in the form of a man. Moses was able to see his backside. He told the Israelites that God has a FORM, that he Moses, did in fact see although not face to face.

Think about this for a moment. Moses, the second greatest religious figure in history, not only proclaimed the existence of God, but told his people that God has a form (human-like), but not made of flesh.

There are REALLY only two ways to know that God exists. One is to accept the testimony of those, who claimed to serve him and speak for him, like Jesus, Moses, Elijah, Mary, Peter, Paul etc. I choose to believe them! These are incredibly wonderful, honest and trustworthy historical figures. I see no reason why their testimonies cannot be trusted.

The other way to be convinced of the existence of God is through the Supernatural power which he exerts from time to time.

Jesus was very clear when he told us that if "we meet the conditions, we can experience the presence and power of God in a tangible way." He told us this many times. It was something he really wanted us to accept! We know that people are often haunted by Ghosts and
