This may have been a topic in the past here but I'm a new member. Wanted to hear people's thoughts and views on this. Do you think it's possible and has anyone ever experienced this themselves before?
Hi,
Many times I worry, about what people think when I say anything of a normal, but extraordinary experience with God.
To counter their expected worries I then start giving all the checks and balances that I have in place, to keep them from thinking negative thoughts.
On hearing the personal voices of God The Father and Jesus Christ plus the Holy Spirit also, even though He is the hardest one to know for me personally, voice wise and feeling wise, for most people normally I have to drag out all of my proofs that I am not mentally ill, to who else in the church separate from me has verified that it really was God and no other in that instance, when they personally talked to me.
As far as NDE's I have heard of three that I take as contact with God. None of those involve me. But, all of them involve God in some way or another, I think.
As far as meditative connections, I don't meditate in any form as it seems too close to occult practices for me.
In that list for others, one item always concerns me, and soon I tell everyone, so I usually tell them this fact, I can do nothing on my own.
No tool given to me by God, ever stays with me forever.
I can ask God really for nothing, as He directs, He leads, He monitors me for exhaustion, so even time off I do not ask for anymore, and on my part other than a desire to be right with God, I provide nothing but normally resisting Him.
So, I am a reluctant and lazy worker, but the work is so much fun in the good that He is always putting into the lives of each and every situation that He puts me into, that I don't ever want to be fired or laid off, by Him. I don't.
So, I cannot ask for things from God nor do things at will, on my whim, nor as I hopefully said, on my own personal will.
It just is not part of the privelege and fun of working for God. And, although I have seen The Essence of God, yes He is Trinitarian, yes Jesus is tender and Mild in a related but next day experience, yes I loved seeing Mary as she looked when she was older at age 49 and immediately the way she looked and was before she died, Yes The Holy Spirit can descend in the form of a dove from the clouds, I am by no means the only one with contacts like these, rather I am one of tens of millions like this, and I am told of that by one other on this very forum, that this is so. I believe him, and no, I cannot prove he is right exactly. Rather I already proved him right in kind. In the kind of events that happened to me, as really gifts from God, but to use for others and not myself. (I get to watch though, and learn as they are being helped, but usually one by one, and not in any group format yet that I am aware of.)
I also can recognize on this forum, from their mere speech patterns, the ones that are like me in this way.
I have had no NDE's though. Others are like me in one way or another. I have had no out of body type experiences, that I know of.
None of this is from dreams, and interestingly enough, I now have paperwork, in the form of a letter, to protect me from accusations of mental illness, connected to my life.
That letter is from a full Psychiatric profile done, not for being what I am with God, but for the proof of a medical condition I have, which has the possibility of being a mental illness rather than, just a normal condition in some humans. I also, was essentially given a diagnosis of no pathologies what so ever, thus shocking me and putting me into the hyper sane group.
It is because of not being able to hide any part of my life then, from this Ph.D. psychologist, who also works at the state mental hospital in Salem Oregon for the last twenty years, she is now retired in Texas near her grandchildren, that I have the paperwork as she was not going to let me out of her office unprotected and still vulnerable to false attacks against me. Yes, I was surprised she said that.
Having God do things with and to you, is in neither category of your Questions. Being in the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, is a partial category of what I have been more than Blessed with, and closer to my experiences, even though I have and do travel in heart mode, in emergencies or when prompted by God to do so, and allowed or requested or commanded by The Holy Spirit to do so.
In heart mode, I am never out of body, rather I am there with you, and here also. Or, I am there and always with me also at the same time.
That traveling, seeing, touching, in heart mode can easily be confused with things said here as Astral projections whatever that means, but are not, as, I can do nothing of my own will, by choice normally for a reason. I also have no idea what they are talking about, nor do I want to know.
That reason that is so, is one day I did something in writing, that God took me up on, and because of how many times the Bible tells me about my actual thoughts from morning till night, not being good, I have requested of God, that my written contract, that He accepted one day, to allow me the privelege of never taking that back.
It is a contract for infinity and beyond. I have given up my Free Will to God, in written contractural form, and He has accepted that, thus I really can't do anything apart from Him, using my own will.
Yes, one day after death on earth, I hope to not have to use this tool to increase my chances of being right with God while on earth. Someday, after here, I hope to just be doing things right for some reason, but I am prepared for that never to be a reality, and will accept that also.
Because you are new here, I will explain my normal sign off.
LOVE, (My best recollection of the way God actually loves),
...Mary., .... .
