It is easy, rather convenient actually, to simply invoke the name of god for personally altering one's life for the better, but all we can observe is the individual personally altering his life and invoking the name of something that only seems to exist as an imaginative concept in the mind. Stating that god changed one's life is essentially intellectually dishonest, for it is merely the individual changing his life and giving credit where it is not due.
But again you can..
The only reason you haven't is commitment.
As I pointed out, many times God follows the mirical outline.
If you look in the bible at the miricles performed by Christ to indivisuals, you will see this outline I have identified. In that whom ever Christ heals or 'fixes' has tried everything and all but completely given up... That is what makes the miricle so miriclous. Because everyone involved knew that this person's situation was without any recourse or hope. Then God steps in and carries the person out of thier situation.
Many of you ask why doesn't God work miricles now? Because many of you will not faithfully endure a trial long enough to come to the point where their is no other hope or explaination than God saving you from situation.
Again, that is what it means to knock.. To persist in asking and seeking even in the absents of any or all hope. If you can humble yourself enough to do this then God has promised to 'show up.'
