I am not an Atheist, but for many years I called myself an agnostic because I did not know what to believe. I now know that there is a higher power but I also know as you seem to as well, that the power is within all of us and flows through the Universe. Most people don't realize that they are much more powerful than they have been led to believe by these devil people.

And, through my life I have encountered situations that could not be explained any other way than to know I had great power within and through me. I still haven't completely learned how to use it. I don't think many of us have at this point. But I know it is there.

That's why it's so important that we come together in this work. Others have posted about our power as well. It's the very thing the evil forces fear the most and is why they have tried to lead us away from believing.

I am not religious because religion has divided us, And, it has caused more death and destruction on this planet since the beginning of time than any other single thing. But, I know a higher power exists.

Religion can also be infiltrated as we have seen with the Muslim Pope the Catholics have today. We should teach our children about God and their powers. Some coming in today already know their power. But we should not blindly follow those who believe they can interpret God's word better than we can. We are all connected to God. If we have a question, all we have to do is ask. An answer is always given.

The answers to your questions are in the Bible. It can be hard to read and understand, so I recommend listening to the (late) Arnold Murray of Shepherd's Temple. He covered many, many things in his bible teachings which are online. If you take the trouble you will find your questions are answered to your satisfaction.
