What Are 5 Things People Want from God That Don’t Exist?

5 Things People Want from God – Exposing Impossible Desires

  • 5 Things People Want from God uncovers five “non things.” Many people long for God to affirm every decision, fix every problem, and save everyone automatically, but these wishes contradict real love and justice.

  • Chasing these mirages leaves people disappointed. Treating God like a distant fixer, a blanket affirmer, or a guarantor of peace while trusting in unreliable things can never deliver the deep happiness they hope for.

  • The book Mirage calls us back to genuine faith. True relationship with God involves repentance, obedience, and trust rather than demanding freedom through sin or a God who simply gives a thumbs up to everything we choose.


Did you know that a lot of people want non-things? Here are 5 non-things which will make you dissatisfied if you pursue them. The other videos in this series include the Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5.
