But then it wouldn't be real. It would just be hypnosis--emotions and images. So this would definitely NOT be good. Usually, as an analogy, when someone gets a crush on another, they think they it's love that will last forever. Then when the hypnosis breaks down, reality enters. So here it's just innocent infatuation. But when it comes to the important things in life, especially such as the purpose of life and a relationship with God, we want the real thing, not hypnosis.
Very nice explanation Pastor. Can I hypnotize by myself to believe in God with all my heart?
