Many Christians get discouraged in their faith because they try to logically explain God to people and to themselves. They spend time trying to logically explain Jesus Christ, the Trinity, and why they believe, whereas being a Christian has nothing to do with logic. Please, I would like to encourage you: even if people around you don’t understand what you believe, don’t accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God, don’t let that create doubt in your spirit, because the God of the Bible — the living God — cannot be explained. He is a God that is encountered spiritually, a God that is felt in our beings.
Explaining God (the Trinity) to people is like trying to hold water in your hands to give someone — a very difficult and almost impossible task — because the water will slip through your hands before you even reach the other person.
God is real — beyond human reasoning.
Many Christians stay stuck because they look for God through logic: watching documentaries, cramming Bible verses, going to church yet not changing their lifestyle, or blindly following what a pastor says without discernment. They stay spiritual babies. Babies in revelation. Babies in encounter. Babies in relationship.
Church, true leaders (not false prophets), Christian content — these things are guides, not substitutes for intimacy with God. They are meant to help you understand who God is so you can grow deeper into a personal relationship with Him.
God wants to encounter you on a deeper level, beyond the routine and formulas you’ve created to talk to Him. He wants you to go deeper. You can’t deepen just on the world’s information of God — you need to meet Him on a spiritual level, in intimate encounters with Him. Why? Because He is Spirit, He is power, He is life, and you can’t meet Him if you don’t deepen your search for Him.
That means more than rushing five minutes of prayer. It means dedicating real time (atleast 2 hours)— sincere time — praying, worshipping, asking Him to encounter you. Keep your Bible near, follow His promptings, and if you don’t understand a passage, ask for divine knowledge.
Why do many people avoid encountering God deeply?
Why do people not want to meet God on a deeper level? Fear.
Fear of God not in a positive sense but fear that He will harm you, punish you, send you to hell — all those doctrines you’ve been taught that torment you and keep you away from the love of God.
You must conquer this by studying the Word of God for yourself. Spend more time consuming the right doctrine and reading the Word for yourself. How to do this is taking time to fully understand the meaning of each word in the passages you read. As you take time to understand, for example, the meaning of the words written in Psalm 23, those words register in your mind, and little by little, you’re building your knowledge with God.
You must stay consistent until you encounter Him. Never give up because you don’t see immediate results. God is watching you. He is testing you to see your faithfulness. He is not in a rush to reveal Himself to you if He knows you’re not ready and won’t do anything about it. He is God.
What Happens When You Encounter God
When you encounter God through the Holy Spirit — the God who dwells in you — it feels like power.
It breaks you to your knees.
It humbles you.
It fills you with undeniable presence.
It may lead you to cry, worship, or fall in awe.
When you encounter God, you know the God of the Bible is real.
This is why people believe — because they have encountered Him.
The Bible is a collection of testimonies of real encounters:
Encounters with God the Creator,
Encounters through the Holy Spirit speaking to prophets,
Encounters with God the Son, Jesus Christ.
These encounters changed people so deeply that they impacted entire nations and communities.
This is what God wants for you too.
The Bible gives clarity in a world full of spiritual confusion — even though people misuse Scripture in cults or false practices. God will judge them. But you must not treat the Bible like just a book of stories. It is evidence of what God has done for others, and what He can do for you.
But the Bible is a starting point — not the end. God cannot be limited to pages. When you walk with Him, He will ask you to do things that align with Scripture, but are unique to your purpose.
Christianity is a relationship, like speaking to a friend, sibling, or parent. God speaks intimately, reveals personally, and guides uniquely.
So don’t waste your time debating logical explanations of God to unbelievers. Focus on building your relationship with Him so deeply that your life itself becomes the proof.
Your transformation becomes the testimony.
Your peace becomes the evidence.
Your joy becomes the invitation.
But this isn’t built by being in a routine formula type of prayer life where you just ask for things and wait for them. No — it’s about wanting to know God and changing your character, your disbelief, your doubt, your lifestyle, leaving friends that hold you back, working on your insecurities, and accepting to make the Lord your God above all things because He is all that matters.
My Prayer To You
My prayer is that you stay encouraged in prayer, encouraged in your faith, encouraged in seeking deeper encounters — so you can experience God and impact the people around you.
