Hi everyone again, quick question. I have been hearing some stuff that has been sort of waking me up. It has been making me fear.... make anxiety worse and I’m confused idk what it means. Could this be God talking to me? One time I was driving and I heard contrite spirit while I was driving?
Another like last night I heard Tuesday... morning... and then I heard Futile...sorry I just don’t understand fully when it’s God... the enemy.. my own thoughts..... sorry if it’s confusing I’m not that great at explaining ...
Thanks for your time.
Does God talk to us, or are we saved by faith, which faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, and without faith it is impossible to please God.
Joh 20:24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Joh 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Joh 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
Joh 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Joh 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Joh 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Jesus told Thomas that he believed because he has seen, but blessed is the person that has not seen the resurrection of Christ that He rose from the dead, and a visible image of God.
Everyone else needs faith.
The disciples, and Paul, did not need faith for they were eyewitnesses to the resurrection of Jesus, which Jesus met Paul on the road to Damascus.
Blessed is he that has not seen but still believes, for it is based on faith, so God will not show us a visible image, or that Jesus rose from the dead.
Some people will say God talked to the disciples and Paul, but they did not need faith so it could not violate their faith.
If it is based on faith if God talked to us would it violate that faith, or does that only mean seeing but does not include hearing, for it seems as if hearing a voice from God would be a witness the same as if seeing a visible image of God, and would violate that faith.
I do know that God will not show us a visible image of Himself, or Jesus resurrected, for it is based on faith, but I do not know about the voice, although I do tend to believe He would not speak to us in an audible voice, for it would seem like it would violate our faith.
If God speaks to people that is good, but I have never heard a voice from God, and never heard a voice at all unless it was my own voice in my head, or having a memory of another's voice, or an outside voice that came from a person.
But then I am not one prone to be stressed out, which a person that has stress might hear something, especially when waking up, and lack of sleep, like people that wake up halfway between being awake and the rem stage of sleeping where they get paralyzed, but awake, and some think they hear or see something, which the body paralyzes itself when we dream so we are not moving about, and some wake up, but still kind of in the rem stage and are paralyzed for a short time.
When a person is stressed which it seems like the biggest cause of stress is overthinking, or boggling the mind with worry, and when the mind is stressed and thinking a lot words can pop up, which sometimes words can pop up that you did not think about which could freak them out, for they will say where did that come from, and when you first wake up it can happen.
And if stressed and they believe God talks to people then they might hear something and think it comes from God, like people that say they heard from their relative that had died, but did they really, for all spirits go back to God who gave them no matter how they act on earth, so they are not roaming around, and the flesh is gone, and the soul does not wander around, but either goes in to the lower parts of the earth, or is with God, so how did they hear from the person.
I will say I do not know if God talks to people in an audible voice, but I tend to think not, but don't go saying you seen a visible image of God for I will surely not buy that.
