In our search for understanding and guidance, it is not uncommon to encounter concepts that challenge traditional Christian beliefs. One such notion is that of 'shifting realities'—a term that has gained traction in various spiritual circles. This article aims to provide a biblical perspective on this concept, as well as address the significance of regular church attendance and the appropriateness of seeking signs from God. By delving into scripture, we can discern the alignment of these ideas with Christian doctrine and the teachings of the Bible, and thus navigate our spiritual journey with greater clarity and purpose.

Seeking Signs from God
Asking God for guidance is a fundamental aspect of the Christian walk, and at times, believers may seek a sign from God to confirm their path. The Bible contains numerous instances where God provided signs, such as when Gideon asked for a sign in Judges 6:36-40. However, there is a difference between humbly asking for God's confirmation and testing Him by demanding a sign, as Jesus addressed in Matthew 12:38-42. Faith should not be rooted in the constant need for signs but rather in trust in God's promises and character. When seeking guidance, believers are encouraged to pray for wisdom, as advised in James 1:5-6, and to trust in the Lord rather than lean on their own understanding, following the wisdom of Proverbs 3:5-6. The presence of the Holy Spirit and adherence to biblical counsel also aid in discerning God's will for our lives.
