Does God speak to you?

[beingofone]

What if I heard God`s thought, and it sounded identical to my own?
Would I be able to tell the difference?
Maybe its not listening to anyone else about anything, but listening to yourself very intently?
Kinda like a whisper from across the room. You really have to pay attention to hear a whisper.

Late douple post.

I have friends who once told me you're never alone when you're Christian, cause you get to speak with God. One of them reverted back to atheism, and can't explain now how she came to that conclusion.

It's not unusual for me to speak to myself. It can be an interesting exercise.

No, prophecy is still a gift of the spirit, and that requires God speaking to you, or revealing things to you, that cannot otherwise be known.

That's right, voices in the head aren't a normal thing.

Neither is prophecy. Just because the gift is an unusual gift, does not make that person crazy. Just the opposite, they probably have their head more together than the rest of us.

As for telling whether it is madness, or a spiritual gift, the gifts themselves tend to be controlled and can be directed at a purpose. Madness is quite the opposite, uncontrolled, and working contrary to any discernable purpose.

Was sleeping, prolly should still be sleeping but I wake up, and then say, okay thank you God, now let me go sleep some more, k?

Thank you dude.

/me goes back to sleep

I'd consider that talking to god.

I spent some of my mis-spent youth on a search for god i suppose you could call it. It took me into celtic and scandinavian history(and around the world), and i believe i found some answers to the questions my 'soul' was looking for at the time.

'God' - didnt speak to me with recognisable words, but it is more like a 'force'(Starwars) thing - and i eventualy got a gift for my years of study and interest

I had been rune-questing i guess you could call it, at the time i had been pretty ill(contracted Malaria) and had a few relapses.

during one of them i saw the shape of a bright bind-rune(its the name for a combination of runes). It was a very religious and mysterious experience - kinda kicked my illness into touch too, in that i've never had a reacurrence of the malaria since?

Dont know if it was 'god' speaking - but it felt unsual enough for sure

I haven't been able to deride anyones religous beliefs since. I think we all have our way of talking with 'god', its just depends if you want or need to and which is the way for you

Bah I don't believe any of this god stuff... but I've been thinking about time traveling lately.

That's what it is... You all know that I am God, don't you?

It's official. You're my favourite.

We're not on speaking terms.

Once God can justify or convince me why Hel- Life on Earth has to be this way, maybe we'll have a chat then.

He appears as a clown-face in the full moon, urging me to 'Kill them, KILL THEM ALL"

When Bush prays, God talks to Bush."

Is this quote for real, anyway?

For me it's not only interesting, but quite common as I talk to myself a lot
Weird thing is when I talk to myself I'm very concentrated and my thoughts are quite coherent, but when I try to explain my view to someone else it gets chaotic and I don't really know what to say, and I don't really succeed in saying what I really think!
