Is God Matter and Energy?

Good day everyone,

Are matter and energy pure consciousness — or the Great ‘I AM’ — in form and motion?

There are no words that can adequately describe God. Our words can only ever point to the absolute, the great I AM, the all sufficient, omnipresent, self-existing

G O D

As my beloved inspiration of a person T.D. Jakes once preached in a wonderful message at Megafest, “All attempts to describe Him prove futile.”

If God pervades all of reality in His omnipresence, it means from a certain perspective ‘all is God’, and that creation exists ‘within (or is part of the being of) God’ — ‘pantheism’ and ‘panentheism’ respectively.

If what I have written in the preceding paragraph is true, this means that matter and energy (the terminology scientifically-minded people find useful) are also ways of describing expressed characterstics of

G O D

To deny the existence of God is to deny the existence of anything at all. Some scientists got it the wrong way around, saying that God is the only thing that doesn’t exist at all!

It seems that God is the word which He has given us to describe Him in English, and it’s interesting how close to the word ‘good’ is the word ‘God’. This cannot be a coincidence!

I hope that you will enjoy your existence as a precious creature who is animated by God, who is not only you, but also the wind, the trees, the sun and the skies — the energy; the matter; and so much more.

With love,
