Who is your God? The Honest Answer of the Gospel of the Kingdom
Where do you find an honest answer to the question: who is your true God? God is not the one you pray to with words, but the one for whom you make decisions, for whom you endure pain, for whom you violate your conscience. Look honestly: what do you sacrifice your day, your thoughts, your freedom for? That is your altar.
Gospel of the Kingdom
📜 Words of the Creator:
You call Me God, but there is already another god in your life — the one for whom you live. God is not the one you pray to with words, but the one for whom you make decisions, for whom you endure pain, for whom you expend energy, for whom you violate your conscience.
Look honestly: who is your God? If you live for money, money is your god. If you live for success, success is your god. If you live for people’s approval, people are your god. If you live for peace, peace is your god. If you live for fear, fear is your god. If you live for yourself, you have become your own idol.
You cannot hide your god. He is visible in what you sacrifice your day, your thoughts, your freedom, your peace for. My way is simple: I look not at words, but at “for the sake of.” You may say, “Lord, You are first,” but if you trouble the peace of your heart for the sake of money, feed your pride for the sake of praise, and bend the truth for the sake of fear, your god has already changed.
Remember: “for the sake of” is the place of worship. Where your heart bends is your altar. You wonder why you are losing peace, why you do not hear Me, why your prayer is empty. But if your “for the sake of” does not belong to Me, your soul is following someone else’s path.
You say, “I need wealth, influence, stability.” But listen: the problem is not that you want these things. The problem is that you want to live for them. All gifts that become ends become idols. All gifts that become means are blessings.
I do not compete with your idols. I am simply waiting for you to see for yourself that they offer no peace, no meaning, no freedom. They demand more and more, yet give less and less. I ask you: whom do you serve with your heart? Not on Sundays. Not in prayer. But in the morning, when you rise. During the day, when you choose between truth and self-interest. In the evening, when you decide how to fill the silence. Who is your God there?
You are only as free as your “for.” I am not asking you to abandon everything. I am asking you to return to Me the place that belongs only to Me — the center of your “for.” Tell Me: “Lord, make You my for — for You I live, for You I choose, for You I conquer and fall, for You I rise.”
When I become your “for,” all else ceases to be gods and becomes gifts. And on that day, you will know who your God is, and who you were created to be.
