God created every atom you are interacting with to communicate with me.God's will does not extend to material things breaking down or wearing out.
i wanted to talk to her, but didn't have a good opportunity.Well why would you, if she was a complete stranger?
What had the woman to do with anything?
God created everything in the universe - absolutely true.God created every atom you are interacting with to communicate with me.
No.he knows when xyz will fail, and will warn you ahead of time if that is what you need.
my brother had a rear wheel bearing break down and he asked God " can i just tighten the nut? and he hears "yes but it will cost you"God does not micromanage our lives to the extent that he says, "you need to buy new batteries" or "your DVD player needs replacing." Implying that if someone's car broke down it would be because they weren't close to God, is incorrect and unkind.
YOU said,you seem to attribute my experiences to satan and not God. so, what are you doing on this forum?
Why are YOU attributing these words to Satan and not God?i get out of the truck and satan says to me something to the effect of "you wanted to stop and talk to her?"
It was definitely satan that said to me: "you wanted to speak to her? just as my truck dies right in front of her? yes. that was satan. 100%.YOU said,
Why are YOU attributing these words to Satan and not God?
when you are also saying,you seem to attribute my experiences to satan and not God.
I did not suggest that Satan was speaking to you - they were your words.It was definitely satan that said to me: "you wanted to speak to her? just as my truck dies right in front of her? yes. that was satan. 100%.
the amount of effort it took for satan to make that situation manifest? not trivial.
2 Timothy 3:15-17 (KJV)We know God's will for our life in the broad sense, of course:

1 Thessalonians 4:3 (NIV)
“It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.”
Romans 12:1–2 (ESV)
“...present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God... Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NIV)
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Peter 2:15 (ESV)
“For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.”

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples...”
Matthew 22:37–39 (ESV)
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

BUT, WHAT ABOUT SPECIFIC EVENTS IN YOUR LIFE?
Specific daily events that are trivial compared to the concepts and commands in these Bible verses.
For example, if my car broke down as I was going to the coffee shop to get coffee, am I right in saying it was God's will for the car to break down?
What are your thoughts, guys?
Perhaps your cessionist and thats fine if you wish to limit visions. My personal experience says otherwise. I believe visiins come from the gift discerning of spirits. There are some that get them fairly often, others rare or none at all. I recall once i was seeking God about my next move. I saw a picture of a man playing pedal steel guitar. I knew That it was in church and also it was likely conceening my move. When i got to that city which i had never been, i attended a local assembly of god church. At the end of the service a woman came up to me. She told me God had said to her to tell me about another church. So i asked her, did the church have a pedal steel guitar? She said yes. Now admittedly its highly unusual for someone in one church to speak to a visitor about another church. But how would i otherwise know? So, i attended the other church, saw the oedal steel and praised God i was in the right place. A small example. I know an evangelist who would see pictures of where people would hurt. I once attended a meeting and he looked right ar me and called out my knee pain. I had not seen him in like 20 years but i got a healing. Some 20 years ago he told me i would be teaching in front of many. He saw it. That also came true. Old men will dream dreams and young men will visions. Desire earnestly spiritual gifts. It does not make you a better Christian, but the gifts have a purpose for some.It's not biblical to say God gives visions nowadays. He did in the past, but the Bible is sufficient for us. God does not currently provide private truths that are only given to specific people. Truth comes from the Bible, and the truth is for all to hear and for all to interpret
I had a dream I knew was legitimate, so I tried to keep my mouth shut about it, i made it 3 weeks.Perhaps your cessionist and thats fine if you wish to limit visions. My personal experience says otherwise.
