It doesn't mean anything.

When God is communicating to you, there can be a kind of fixation or conviction that happens that cannot be described with words. (Note that Satan also does this, but it is ever-so-slightly different.)

You would need to get to know this writer at this link through some of his many writings to understand how much to believe or not believe him. (Ultimately, you need to seek God about what he wants you to learn or know through it.) The author is somewhat famous (in a positive way) for his book, The Final Quest, btw.

If you aren't familiar with what "prophetic ministries" are and what they aren't, you can ask about it in one of the forums on this web site. Be aware that having too much interest in prophecies can lead one astray, even if the prophet is real/right.

Note that this site's rules include this:
* Personal Prophecy (prophetic utterance) will be considered off-topic to all site forums. These may be posted in your own personal blog.
As written, this rule is a reference to site user A telling site user B that God told them "such and such" for person B. However, the admins may mean a site user posting anything they hear from God and saying it is from God. As diligent as they are, I'm sure nothing along these lines will escape their notice.

That ain't normal.

That ain't normal.

Actually it's perfectly normal. I myself when looking at a clock will often see 3:37. I see it it seems all the time, because my friends name is LEE and it looks like 337 upside down. The fact of the matter is our brains automatically look for patterns. I look at clocks all day but only take notice when it says 3:37, which is exactly what the OP is doing.

What is happening means nothing at all and is perfectly normal.

I'm assuming he's talking about something different because this didn't happen until he converted.

Borislave, welcome to the forums.

You might want to journal these. Everything Yahweh does has a purpose. I'm sure you're asking Him what they mean. We sometimes expect an immediate response but it doesn't always work out that way; thus the journaling.

"Apophenia is the human tendency to perceive meaningful patterns within random data."

I do realize some christians do believe seeing numbers mean something. And maybe they do. But from what I understand its human nature to see patterns everywhere. After 9/11 MANY people for years noticed 9/11 on things. Whether it was an alarm clock or an apartment number. Its why we also tend to see faces in everything:

Its normal. I wouldn't say its anything to worry about. But then again thats just my opinion.

It might mean something, if it points to a scripture reference like Isaiah 11:11 (or something like that), but you still have to exercise wisdom, or else you might get something like "Judas hanged himself" ... "go thou and do likewise". People have different experiences. But don't think that every increase of dopamine in the brain is a spiritual experience, because many cults have been started that way. Beware of wild speculations and sudden perspective changes, such experiences may or may not be God speaking, and are likely not (statistically speaking). God speaks to us mainly through His Word. Emphasis on numbers is usually a superstition.

Don't see why throw the baby out with the bath water. There are times in Scripture when Yahweh wanted things done by the numbers such as:
-"And thou shalt make an altar of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits." Exo 27:1 Specific instructions including the sizes were given for each item of the tabernacle including information regarding sacrifices such as offering two goats (Lev 16:7).
-This one doesn't have a particular number but indicates measurement "And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints." Rev 5:8
-"For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day." Zech 3:9
-Yeshua utilized numbers instead of words to make a point with "Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." Matt 18:22
-Also, "We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands." Mark 14:58
ETC

There's no baby in this bath water.
