I have met God the father twice and I have met jesus face to face once and yes I have heard God's voice out loud but only once.
The first time I met God the father was before I was saved I was alone in my room at night in tears I was sad alone and felt like no one cared about me I remember asking God that if he is real I need him to prove it to me because I needed to know I am not alone in this world. Then I fell asleep and woke up in a pure white place I was standing on the right side of father I could not see any physical form but he was there in the spirit in front of us was a giant river of all the colors of the rainbow more vivid and more beautiful than anything in this world I have never seen anything so beautiful that I would begin to bawl from it but this river did that to me he spoke to me and said the river was his plan i could only respond over and over by saying thank you for showing me this.

The second time I met father was when I was saved and I went to sleep one night and again woke up in that pure white place and father said to me I need to stop drinking coffee and I replied but Lord I need it to wake up in the morning and he replied then just drink it in the morning! he wasn't yelling but he wanted me to know he was serious- I wish I would have listened to him.

When I met Jesus face to face he looked exactly as I imagined he would not like the images of him you see in churches where he is all scrawny and weird looking but he had long sort 0of curly hair his face was hard to describe it's like trying to describe the face a person you only got a glimpse of I remember he had these shining blue eyes but that may be because I have always imagined his eyes like that lol.

I heard God's voice once out loud when I was going on my walk and I had finished my energy drink crumpled up the can and threw it on the ground suddenly I hear this thundering commanding voice say Pick it up and my body just moved and did as commanded, I to this day have no idea why he blessed me with his voice like that but i am honored to have heard his voice.

I have also encountered the holy spirit a few times I have encountered him in the form of a dove in the form of fire and also in the form of wind

Jeremiah 33:3 ESV

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

1 Corinthians 2:10 ESV

these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

Another example is from the movie miracles in heaven starring jennifer garner. It was based from real events. The child was instantly healed after God revealed Himself to her.

I had an encounter with Jesus once. I used to work at my church, so Sunday mornings were always hectic. One particularly Sunday, I was really going crazy. Just as the worship service was to begin, I took my seat in the choir loft. I sure didn't feel like worshipping. So I silently prayed to God one single word, "Help." Next thing I knew, Jesus was sitting next to me -- well His spirit was next to me. He put his arms around me and whispered, "Don't worry. It will be okay."

I can't really describe how He looked -- He was just a man, so to speak -- and His voice was unremarkable -- just a simple baritone. It was more of a feeling than anything else. But what great comfort I felt. It was truly an amazing experience.

BTW, I was not a new Christian when this happened, and I never asked God to physically reveal Himself to me. He just showed up when I needed Him!

Here is an example but not mine. Our pastor said that the first time he saw his future wife walk into the room. He heard a voice in his head that said "wife". It must be the Holy Spirit because they end up getting married despite the circumstances. The woman was already enggaged and our pastor did nothing to steal her. He just prayed and sent a birthday present but did not write his name on the card.
:D That's how I want God to tell me about my future wife. I've heard another story just like that where God told a man his future wife was in the church with him.

No

but I do remember a small church somewhere in Scotland (outside some small village somewhere),
where I had to kneel down the moment I stepped into the nave. Never felt anything like it before or after.
is it possible to describe what you felt? Or was the feeling just too out of this world?

I'll pray you get it, although chances are it is already there. I've noticed that it's up to us to turn down the static noise of this world, that's when we hear.
Thanks bro God bless you. I'll pray for you too.

That's what I want God to do for me I want Him to reveal Himself to me and heal me instantly. But obviously I can't force Him to do that. All I can do is hope. I'll take a look at those Bible verses in my KJV thanks sis.

He already said, "I love you" in the Scriptures! He does love you! Try not to obsess on having a face-to-face with God. It will happen when it happens if God wants it to happen. In the meantime, you can experience God by studying His word, praying and fellowshipping with other believers.

God bless!

Hmmm. It was an overwhelming feeling of the presence authority / power. A bit like what I've imagined it must be to stand before the throne of God.

If you have what did He look like? What did He say to you? What does He sound like?
We walk by faith,not by sight.

GOD Is SPIRIT.

whenever GOD talks to me,Its an Impression

IE
Lets say,someone Is watering their grass,sprinklers on,and as you walk by,a mist of vaporizing water blows on your face.

Thats the best way,I can explain It,you just know that you know.

I'm not sure if this is trolling. You're checking the waters but don't want to jump in. You just want to physically see and here God.

But, no. First you're got his boss. Second, you can't twist God's arms to force him to give you a three-wish-genie prize. He talked to Abraham maybe five times in his life. Moses got the most face time, ans consversations with God but he was the leader of God's people. Seeing and hearing God is a previlige. It's not like getting a ride on a moon rocket because of something you've done.

He has it in full control and he rarely talks to people.

Worse than this you're wanting this for what? To prove sometimes hes' done all the proving he's going to do. Most don't get God in that way. He has proven himself in all kinds of things. And that you can't see that says you're not into reality. It's just a game with you do you so can go on with your life and blame it all on God.Your 20. Act it.

Absolutely. I see God in all my blessings around, through my education in the past and present, my experiences, my family and my loved ones. I love my relationship with the lord and he speaks to me through dreams, instincts, through my own writings and those who love and care about me the most.

Over this weekend I was preparing for next weeks lessons in science. Inspired by a recent trip to a nature sanctuary:

In all these elements I can see God's creation and Him guiding me in how I need to reach the next generation about His greatness. Love, love, love it!

To the OP, I have seen and heard God many times in dreams and I have
heard Him in my thoughts, but back to the feelings thingy, maybe this
might help. It was from my daily devotional.



But the Lord is with me as a mighty, awesome One. Therefore my persecutors will
stumble, and will not prevail… —Jeremiah 20: 11

DO YOU KNOW that the best time to thank Jesus for His presence is when you
don’t “feel” His presence? When it comes to the presence of Jesus, don’t go by your
feelings. Feelings can be deceptive. Go by His promise that He is Immanuel—God with
us! Feelings aren’t based on truth.

God’s Word is truth! Have you heard the story of a groom who approached his
pastor almost immediately after his wedding ceremony? He went up to his pastor and
said, “Pastor, can I talk to you for a second?” “Sure,” the pastor replied. The groom said,
“You know what, I don’t feel married.” The pastor grabbed him by the collar and
growled, “Listen, boy. You ARE married whether you feel it or not, understand?

Just take it by faith that you are married!” You see, my friend, you can’t go by your
feelings. You go by the truth and the truth is this: God promised, “I will never leave
you nor forsake you.” So the best time to practice His presence is precisely when you
feel like Jesus is 100,000 miles away. Remember that feelings aren’t based on truth.
God’s Word is truth!

What's your problem? I 100% believe in God already, I don't need to see Him physically to know that. He has made significant changes in my life already. I'm not trolling, I was asking genuine questions and if you read all the comments and my replies you would see that I'm being serious and I was just wondering about other people's experience with Him because it's nice to hear. I don't think I'm God's boss. I realize seeing God is a privilege, obviously I can't force God to do anything and I can't earn His presence. I just want to see God face to face because I love Him.

Amazing sister, I love when Christians are smart at science because the atheists love to say how science doesn't provide evidence for God but that's 100% false. May God bless you with even more knowledge, wisdom, success, and help through your life and ambitions!

You're right sister. I do tend to obsess over seeing God face-to-face and I was starting to annoy myself with that. I was wanting to feel that "out of this world" peace, love, and authority that God gives off when you're in His presence. However, I'm starting to calm down and realize all I need is the Bible and prayer. God bless you very much, much love!

Thank you! My dad is a physicist and engineer. While I came out being genetically inclined and environmentally impassioned for performance/drama, early childhood/primary teaching and psychology, dad always maintained I need to understand the basics of science. It was his biggest priority in life. I can still hear the echo of "you must know how things work Laura, don't worry about the idiot box (t.v), concentrate on science!!!!"

To God goes the glory that we managed to work out our differences, myself happily up on stage, my head in a psychology text or focused on the latest in curriculum development and him pouring over the structure of a frozen 'mother engine'. shudder.

Thanks for the well wishes, I've always been really ambitious. Do know that God is always there, longing and waiting for you to be in His arms holding you, wanting to guide and love you. Even at times when the enemy tries to fool you otherwise, God will never leave you nor forsake you!
