I would say go to bed, wake up about an hour early, then stay awake for about 30 minutes and go back to sleep.

That will be the most spiritual shit you will ever experience.

Sincerely. And don't expect a specific response, but know that you are heard, that the presence you are speaking to is immediate. The fruit is out of your hands, so be content.

Re: How to talk to God and get an answer??
From my own experiences, it needs to be a bit dramatic. I have talked to God my whole life but the only times that I have received an obvious response have been when I talked out loud and loudly. I was out in the yard of the furniture factory where I was working (and sleeping) and it was midnight and it was raining like Hell. I screamed at the top of my lungs... "God, please show me your Grace!"

It was a very difficult time in my life (hence, the sleeping at work thing)... and within a few weeks, I met a woman, and she is still with me. Let's just say that I already had a family and she WANTED a family and she had some money and I NEEDED money since I was broke as hell and also going through mental anguish. Anyway, she is still with me and also BTW, her actual name is Grace.
Are we there yet?

If your heart yearns for something thats good in the sight of God,He will give it to you.

God will give it,if you pray and feel alone in your life and bow to Him as his servant.

Just like the Devil will give to his people,to be so called stars...They will be given...but i would never give up my soul to the devil,for fame!

Re: How to talk to God and get an answer??
TX Guy this will be a long post. Plus all I can do is share of my experience. That is where God does the most good.

Just to know about him, or to know bible verses or doctrines won't help us, we must interact with him.

Now God has been with me my whole life, thru good and bad, and even my willful failures and sins, which were many.

So I will share below with you of my experiences with God, in hope that it helps you.

I will share honestly hiding nothing, even my failures, and how God spoke to me, even in the midst of those sins and failures.

Let me start at the beginning of my walk, with Jesus. Know though that I can take NO credit for any of this. God in His mercy reached out to me, I didn't reach out to Him.



MY STORY

I came from a violent home, (drugs, alcohol, gun shots, being chased with knives, people thrown thru picture pane windows), in fact I was born three months early because my father kicked my mother in the stomach, and I weighed two pounds nine ounces.

As early as 7yrs old I was out on the streets till 3-4am, I was put in three orphanages... once my father snuck into our house, he put a loaded pistol in my hand and told me too shoot my sisters and my mother, it was crazy.
Thru all of this, (which I wouldn't change), I came out a fairly normal kid, I was involved in sports and didn't do drugs, or drink. I thought I was a survivor, wanting only too make it thru another day.

At age 16 (in 1974) I started too sense a need in my life, an emptiness that I couldn't explain.
I knew I had to find God/Jesus, but who was HE? I had no idea where to find HIM, so I went to the local library to find books concerning world religions, God, and the occult.

At the library I met an ex-hippie (Gary Osborn) he saw my books and decided to share the message with me. Gary invited me to pray in the back of his V.W. so I did, I remember saying "God forgive me for my sins, and whatever you have for me I want it all". Well at first nothing happened I expected, lightening or something. Gary said, "Just go home and praise God" I said, "What's that, mean" Gary said, "Just thank him" So I did just that.

The remaining is sacred to me, before I asked Jesus into my heart, I never heard voices, I never drank, and I never did drugs, but one week after meeting Jesus while in the middle of my last class (during high school) A voice, just as clear, as someone standing next to you, spoke, and as the voice spoke it said to me, "rod tell them about Jesus" I was surprised, but unafraid.

I put my hand over my mouth, since I didn't want anyone to think I was talking too myself, I said (to whoever spoke to me) "I don't know what to say" the voice said "don't be afraid, I'll give you the words to say" To this day I don't remember my words, but I spoke to those kids about Jesus and salvation, their mouths just dropped open and then, class was over, I walked out of that room, feeling like I had never felt before.

The next day was Saturday; I slept in the living room on an old couch. When I woke it was early and I decided to turn on the TV, to watch my favorite cartoon, the roadrunner.

As I sat there watching the TV, I got up and looked outside, everything was so beautiful, (I never appreciated nature, I just wanted to make it thru another day). BUT now it was so pretty, I sat back down on the couch, and as I did I was somewhere else.

I was sitting at a long roughhewn table, to my right was Jesus, straight ahead was the father, I couldn't see him, to my left was Satan, him I could see (he looked like a man only very big) then in front of each of us, but not Satan three bowls appear, filled with what looked like porridge. Now the father spoke and said Satan dismiss yourself, Satan stood and screamed, then vanished. Three bites were taken out of the bowl.

Then all at once I was watching myself from a distance, walking with Jesus up a grassy pathway. Jesus was speaking to me but from a distance I couldn't hear him, I could see myself shaking my head (like I understand) then thru my eyes I saw the house where I had been sleeping.

I didn't know what had happened; I'd never experienced anything like that, but I knew two things, I had to find a pastor to talk too, and I KNEW GOD loved me and wanted something from me...my total surrender, my life totally under his control, every second, moment by moment, and I was consumed with this one desire, to live too PLEASE HIM.
Let me give you an example: When a friend from school would come over and say, "Hey rod." "Let's go to a show" I'd say, "hold on." Then I'd go in the bathroom and pray, "Lord should I go?"

Sometimes the Lord would say "go", sometimes "no" At times He was silent, when this happened I would look inside, to my heart, (Spirit), (see Colossians 3:15) if I had peace I would go, If not, I'd stay home.
As I practiced this new desire, (surrender), I noticed the voice of the Lord became more frequent and clearer, (John 10:27). It always had to agree with scripture. The word of the Lord will always agree with the true meaning and / or the true interpretation of scripture).

I needed to get a bible, I went to a bookstore and I got the largest family bible I'd ever seen, with pictures and everything. I was so happy. That night the voice of the lord said, "Read Matthew 5." I had to look in the contents; I didn't know where Matthew was. When I found it and started to read, the words became a ("Word of the Lord to me") they just jumped off the page, they seemed to come alive, and they filled me, with hope, love and peace.

Now I knew God loved me, and my sins were gone, I was forgiven...
As time passed I grew, sometimes I'd walk into a busy office or building (like a D.O.L) and the Lord would say go sit by that guy, I would strike up a conversation, then say "you don't know me but I'm a Christian and God is going to share with me about your life" I don't mean simple things like "you have the flu" or "Headaches", but deep, personal things that others couldn't know or even guess. People would usually start to cry and ask "how did you know?" I'd say "I didn't but God knew".

One of the best lessons from the Lord concerning trusting Him happened like this; I was traveling from Philly to Atlantic city, I got on the road, and started to hitch a ride, (it wasn't illegal at that time) within one hour and twenty minutes I was in Atlantic city (which was a one hour drive!) I got 4 different rides, as I stepped into each vehicle I boldly proclaimed "Hi I'm a child of the King, and God's going to bless you for picking me up!" God gave me very personal details about each of those people and all but one came to Christ.

When I got to Atlantic City, God said "Rod, when you get to the prayer meeting tonight I want you to give all your money, to Johnnie Diaz". I said "Lord that's all I've got?" (About 300.00) God replied; "you take care of your brothers and sisters in the Lord and I'll take care of you." So upon arriving in Atlantic City, I secretly gave all my money to Johnnie, (this was to cover something for Johnnie that was very personal, so I know he didn't share this with anyone).

That night I asked myself "how am I going to get back to work, tomorrow? I didn't have a penny, not even enough for bus fare, and in my spirit I knew I wasn't to hitch hike, but instead the Lord wanted me on the bus. After sleeping that night and leaving the brothers house the next day, (where the meeting had been held).

I started walking to the bus station. As I got closer and closer, I was imagining, "is the drivers going to just "know" he's supposed to let me ride for free?" But as I approached the depot, a brother named "Chicky" came out of his house and said "rod I think the Lord wants me to give this to you." It was exactly what I needed for bus fare!
This has been a short summary of my life.




Many Years Later:


I loved God from as far back as I can remember, but I didn't meet Jesus until I was 16 years old.

Years after this miraculous encounter in 1974, I found myself in sin. Habitual sins.

I hated it, I fasted, prayed, confessed to my friends, went to a christian psychologist, and nothing helped.

This went on for years, and years. Then one day I'm out driving, all alone, and I yell out to God, like many times before, but this time, God speaks back.

I yell "God, when are you going to help me with this"...He says "Why don't you tell me the truth".

I have no idea what truth He means, then all of a sudden, I see, I understand, and I know what He wants of me. He wants my agreement with Him.

So I say, what He has revealed to me, at that very moment.

I agree with Him, and I speak the truth He has just shown me.

I say "God, I love my sin, I don't want you to interfere, in any way, or bother me about this"...

Next couple days I find my mind and will changing, that was 10-12 years ago.

The truth that sets us free, is the truth, the Spirit brings.

Been free from sin and its power ever since. That is our inheritance.




I'm sitting at the kitchen table, all alone, no one else is in the house.

It was raining outside, and I was looking out the window, when all of a sudden I hear, a voice say: Rod do you notice the rain drops, that they are all different from one another. I said I suppose so Lord. And do you know that you're different. I start to weep, thinking He is speaking about my face. Sternly, but without anger He says "NOT LIKE THAT!"

Rod you are like a piece of fruit in a bowl, with many other pieces of fruit (Christians), but you are the worse piece of fruit in the bowl. And that is why I will use you for my glory.

Some people, I put in the palm of my hand, I look at them, then I look away, but with you, I never take my eyes off of you.

Then He asks me, why do you believe, what you believe, and who taught you. I said Lord I don't know, I guess I just picked things up from others, along the way. He says do you think truth goes from the mind of one man and into another? I say no. I believe it comes from revelation.

Then several things rush into my mind, as if someone is pouring them into me, things about the bible and God start to come together.

He says Rod I don't ever want you to put your sins above my love and grace for you. I don't want you to look for things in yourself to improve, or try and change... I'm the vine dresser, I'm the shepherd, I am the one who washes. I Cleanse and teach you.I will bring things to your attention when I want to change things, then you just agree with me, and turn those things over to me, then I will change those things, not you...

You are not to shine or polish the cup. You just abide in me, and rest in me, do not try to establish your own righteousness.

I had spent years in a spiritual wilderness that seemed God had died or left me completely alone, as if He hated me for disobeying Him. (Of course, none of this was true, I know that now).

I was crushed, I confessed my sins to God and anyone who would listen. I felt for sure I was on my way to hell. I even fasted for 30 days one time, I wrote men of God, I cried, shouted, pleaded with God, got angry, desperate, I just can't share enough what this did to me. The silence was killing me.

But never once was I unaware of things God wanted to change, one was the fact that I wasn't trusting Him as I went thru this wilderness and trial.

Trust… I just couldn't do it, I agreed I needed to, but I just couldn't find it, I had no emotional connection to this issue of trust.

Oh, I could say the words "I trust you Lord". But not with emotion, not from the heart. You know what I mean, about an emotional connection, so they just weren't empty words right?

It's like a man saying to a woman "yea sure I love you" she knows he doesn't mean it. BUT if he says "I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART" and If I live, and I live without you, then I will surly die. My day begins with you, and it ends with you. Life is nothing without you. That is a statement with emotion behind it, and it's real.

Anyway so How did God fix this issue of knowing what love was, and trusting Him? (You see IF YOU don't know what Love is, and what God means, when He says He loves you, You CANNOT trust Him).

It happened like this, I was driving, and was once again all alone. I was listening to a CD (Led Zeppelin) it was blaring loud. I heard Him speak. He said "You still aren't trusting me". I said "I know it Lord, I just can't find it, and I don't have the strength or will".

ALL of a sudden, it's as if something was poured into me and I understood. *Remember I hated this empty spiritual wilderness I was in, I just HATED IT with a passion.

To my surprise I hear myself say "Lord this place, this wilderness, it is the perfect place for me, and it was the best choice that you made for me" (yes, I sinned, and it was my fault… But I needed to learn to trust him, by going thru this).

I finished by saying "Lord I just trust you, with all my heart"




Some Thoughts:

So what is Sin?


The bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of Paul explain this for us. The concept is whatever makes YOU feel that you have something between you and God is wrong.

This is a thing that effects the conscience, where Paul says for a weaker brother, I would NOT eat meat sacrificed to an idol, although an idol is nothing to me.

Paul then goes on to say (after he matured in Christ) that ALL things were legal for him to do, but that they may not be beneficial to him.

Jesus looks at it from another angle and stated that unbelief is the greatest sin, since the unbelief in HIM, would cut you off from the remedy, which was Jesus himself.

Jesus mission was not that we be good enough, for God knew, and wanted us to know we could NEVER be good enough, and would never keep His commandments.

So the remedy was to forget the flesh; (the human body, sin, desires...i.e. this flesh and bones, that we live in), and concentrate on a NEW creation (vehicle), which was SPIRIT, (as in, we are spirit, soul, and body). For the spirit was willing and able to please God, because the flesh was made weak after the transgression, in the garden.

So god, so to speak, told everyone who would believe in Him...We are moving our focus to "The Spirit", for it is the only thing that can inherit eternal life, for the flesh goes into the grave, but the spirit after regeneration (being given new life, lives forever).

So God no longer focuses on the human body (flesh), but instead on a gift he gives you, this gift is the new spirit, and eternal life.

I Went To See The Son of God Movie… When All of a Sudden…As I Was Watching Jesus Die… I heard myself say "Oh that is why Jesus died, as it dawned on me that Jesus was right when he said "You must be born again.

In all of Paul's writings concerning:

The Spirit,
The Flesh,
Death,
Sin,
Lust of the flesh,
The 1st Adam,
The 2nd Adam,
and walking in the Spirit…

That these things are all tied to the death of Jesus.

It's as if God decided to give up on "The flesh" since the flesh was never able to abide by His commands, nor please Him, and move to the Spirit, as a new creation. Kind of like changing trains, or modes of transportation…

That is why Jesus said "You must be born again". Born of Spirit. A new creation. Jesus died; literally killed the vehicle of sin, and death, by dying in the flesh. So when we are born again, we really are NEW creatures. Old things have passed away. This is why that seed remains sin free. Because sin worked through the flesh…

Adam was in the flesh, and sinned in the flesh.

Sin can't work in the Spirit…It's not the right vehicle (seed) for sin…

Next couple days I find my mind and will changing, that was 10-12 years ago.

The truth that sets us free, is the truth, the Spirit brings.

Been free from sin and its power ever since. That is our inheritance.




I'm sitting at the kitchen table, all alone, no one else is in the house.

It was raining outside, and I was looking out the window, when all of a sudden I hear, a voice say: Rod do you notice the rain drops, that they are all different from one another. I said I suppose so Lord. And do you know that you're different. I start to weep, thinking He is speaking about my face. Sternly, but without anger He says "NOT LIKE THAT!"

Rod you are like a piece of fruit in a bowl, with many other pieces of fruit (Christians), but you are the worse piece of fruit in the bowl. And that is why I will use you for my glory.

Some people, I put in the palm of my hand, I look at them, then I look away, but with you, I never take my eyes off of you.

Then He asks me, why do you believe, what you believe, and who taught you. I said Lord I don't know, I guess I just picked things up from others, along the way. He says do you think truth goes from the mind of one man and into another? I say no. I believe it comes from revelation.

Then several things rush into my mind, as if someone is pouring them into me, things about the bible and God start to come together.

He says Rod I don't ever want you to put your sins above my love and grace for you. I don't want you to look for things in yourself to improve, or try and change... I'm the vine dresser, I'm the shepherd, I am the one who washes. I Cleanse and teach you.I will bring things to your attention when I want to change things, then you just agree with me, and turn those things over to me, then I will change those things, not you...

You are not to shine or polish the cup. You just abide in me, and rest in me, do not try to establish your own righteousness.

I had spent years in a spiritual wilderness that seemed God had died or left me completely alone, as if He hated me for disobeying Him. (Of course, none of this was true, I know that now).

I was crushed, I confessed my sins to God and anyone who would listen. I felt for sure I was on my way to hell. I even fasted for 30 days one time, I wrote men of God, I cried, shouted, pleaded with God, got angry, desperate, I just can't share enough what this did to me. The silence was killing me.

But never once was I unaware of things God wanted to change, one was the fact that I wasn't trusting Him as I went thru this wilderness and trial.

Trust… I just couldn't do it, I agreed I needed to, but I just couldn't find it, I had no emotional connection to this issue of trust.

Oh, I could say the words "I trust you Lord". But not with emotion, not from the heart. You know what I mean, about an emotional connection, so they just weren't empty words right?

It's like a man saying to a woman "yea sure I love you" she knows he doesn't mean it. BUT if he says "I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART" and If I live, and I live without you, then I will surly die. My day begins with you, and it ends with you. Life is nothing without you. That is a statement with emotion behind it, and it's real.

Anyway so How did God fix this issue of knowing what love was, and trusting Him? (You see IF YOU don't know what Love is, and what God means, when He says He loves you, You CANNOT trust Him).

It happened like this, I was driving, and was once again all alone. I was listening to a CD (Led Zeppelin) it was blaring loud. I heard Him speak. He said "You still aren't trusting me". I said "I know it Lord, I just can't find it, and I don't have the strength or will".

ALL of a sudden, it's as if something was poured into me and I understood. *Remember I hated this empty spiritual wilderness I was in, I just HATED IT with a passion.

To my surprise I hear myself say "Lord this place, this wilderness, it is the perfect place for me, and it was the best choice that you made for me" (yes, I sinned, and it was my fault… But I needed to learn to trust him, by going thru this).

I finished by saying "Lord I just trust you, with all my heart"




Some Thoughts:

So what is Sin?


The bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of Paul explain this for us. The concept is whatever makes YOU feel that you have something between you and God is wrong.

This is a thing that effects the conscience, where Paul says for a weaker brother, I would NOT eat meat sacrificed to an idol, although an idol is nothing to me.

Paul then goes on to say (after he matured in Christ) that ALL things were legal for him to do, but that they may not be beneficial to him.

Jesus looks at it from another angle and stated that unbelief is the greatest sin, since the unbelief in HIM, would cut you off from the remedy, which was Jesus himself.

Jesus mission was not that we be good enough, for God knew, and wanted us to know we could NEVER be good enough, and would never keep His commandments.

So the remedy was to forget the flesh; (the human body, sin, desires...i.e. this flesh and bones, that we live in), and concentrate on a NEW creation (vehicle), which was SPIRIT, (as in, we are spirit, soul, and body). For the spirit was willing and able to please God, because the flesh was made weak after the transgression, in the garden.

So god, so to speak, told everyone who would believe in Him...We are moving our focus to "The Spirit", for it is the only thing that can inherit eternal life, for the flesh goes into the grave, but the spirit after regeneration (being given new life, lives forever).

So God no longer focuses on the human body (flesh), but instead on a gift he gives you, this gift is the new spirit, and eternal life.

I Went To See The Son of God Movie… When All of a Sudden…As I Was Watching Jesus Die… I heard myself say "Oh that is why Jesus died, as it dawned on me that Jesus was right when he said "You must be born again.

In all of Paul's writings concerning:

The Spirit,
The Flesh,
Death,
Sin,
Lust of the flesh,
The 1st Adam,
The 2nd Adam,
and walking in the Spirit…

That these things are all tied to the death of Jesus.

It's as if God decided to give up on "The flesh" since the flesh was never able to abide by His commands, nor please Him, and move to the Spirit, as a new creation. Kind of like changing trains, or modes of transportation…

That is why Jesus said "You must be born again". Born of Spirit. A new creation. Jesus died; literally killed the vehicle of sin, and death, by dying in the flesh. So when we are born again, we really are NEW creatures. Old things have passed away. This is why that seed remains sin free. Because sin worked through the flesh…

Adam was in the flesh, and sinned in the flesh.

Sin can't work in the Spirit…It's not the right vehicle (seed) for sin…

Before dropping off to sleep at night, pray for an answer to a question in your dream, and pray to remember it fully and clearly and to wake up immediately after. Pray this nightly several times if need be. Have a piece of paper or journal and pen next to your bed to jot down your dream.

I have. I follow the basic pattern of The Lord's Prayer with sincere awe, humility and gratitute. I rarely ask for specific things for myself because that's selfish. I ask for blessings for others. God knows your needs and the desires of your heart and will perfectly provide these things in breathtaking ways. We should not think of God as a big 11-dimension ATM. God is like a wise and loving father or grandfather.

Re: How to talk to God and get an answer??
TX Guy this will be a long post. Plus all I can do is share of my experience. That is where God does the most good.

Just to know about him, or to know bible verses or doctrines won't help us, we must interact with him.

Now God has been with me my whole life, thru good and bad, and even my willful failures and sins, which were many.

So I will share below with you of my experiences with God, in hope that it helps you.

I will share honestly hiding nothing, even my failures, and how God spoke to me, even in the midst of those sins and failures.

Let me start at the beginning of my walk, with Jesus. Know though that I can take NO credit for any of this. God in His mercy reached out to me, I didn't reach out to Him.



MY STORY

I came from a violent home, (drugs, alcohol, gun shots, being chased with knives, people thrown thru picture pane windows), in fact I was born three months early because my father kicked my mother in the stomach, and I weighed two pounds nine ounces.

As early as 7yrs old I was out on the streets till 3-4am, I was put in three orphanages... once my father snuck into our house, he put a loaded pistol in my hand and told me too shoot my sisters and my mother, it was crazy.
Thru all of this, (which I wouldn't change), I came out a fairly normal kid, I was involved in sports and didn't do drugs, or drink. I thought I was a survivor, wanting only too make it thru another day.

At age 16 (in 1974) I started too sense a need in my life, an emptiness that I couldn't explain.
I knew I had to find God/Jesus, but who was HE? I had no idea where to find HIM, so I went to the local library to find books concerning world religions, God, and the occult.

At the library I met an ex-hippie (Gary Osborn) he saw my books and decided to share the message with me. Gary invited me to pray in the back of his V.W. so I did, I remember saying "God forgive me for my sins, and whatever you have for me I want it all". Well at first nothing happened I expected, lightening or something. Gary said, "Just go home and praise God" I said, "What's that, mean" Gary said, "Just thank him" So I did just that.

The remaining is sacred to me, before I asked Jesus into my heart, I never heard voices, I never drank, and I never did drugs, but one week after meeting Jesus while in the middle of my last class (during high school) A voice, just as clear, as someone standing next to you, spoke, and as the voice spoke it said to me, "rod tell them about Jesus" I was surprised, but unafraid.

I put my hand over my mouth, since I didn't want anyone to think I was talking too myself, I said (to whoever spoke to me) "I don't know what to say" the voice said "don't be afraid, I'll give you the words to say" To this day I don't remember my words, but I spoke to those kids about Jesus and salvation, their mouths just dropped open and then, class was over, I walked out of that room, feeling like I had never felt before.

The next day was Saturday; I slept in the living room on an old couch. When I woke it was early and I decided to turn on the TV, to watch my favorite cartoon, the roadrunner.

As I sat there watching the TV, I got up and looked outside, everything was so beautiful, (I never appreciated nature, I just wanted to make it thru another day). BUT now it was so pretty, I sat back down on the couch, and as I did I was somewhere else.

I was sitting at a long roughhewn table, to my right was Jesus, straight ahead was the father, I couldn't see him, to my left was Satan, him I could see (he looked like a man only very big) then in front of each of us, but not Satan three bowls appear, filled with what looked like porridge. Now the father spoke and said Satan dismiss yourself, Satan stood and screamed, then vanished. Three bites were taken out of the bowl.

Then all at once I was watching myself from a distance, walking with Jesus up a grassy pathway. Jesus was speaking to me but from a distance I couldn't hear him, I could see myself shaking my head (like I understand) then thru my eyes I saw the house where I had been sleeping.

I didn't know what had happened; I'd never experienced anything like that, but I knew two things, I had to find a pastor to talk too, and I KNEW GOD loved me and wanted something from me...my total surrender, my life totally under his control, every second, moment by moment, and I was consumed with this one desire, to live too PLEASE HIM.
Let me give you an example: When a friend from school would come over and say, "Hey rod." "Let's go to a show" I'd say, "hold on." Then I'd go in the bathroom and pray, "Lord should I go?"

Sometimes the Lord would say "go", sometimes "no" At times He was silent, when this happened I would look inside, to my heart, (Spirit), (see Colossians 3:15) if I had peace I would go, If not, I'd stay home.
As I practiced this new desire, (surrender), I noticed the voice of the Lord became more frequent and clearer, (John 10:27). It always had to agree with scripture. The word of the Lord will always agree with the true meaning and / or the true interpretation of scripture).

I needed to get a bible, I went to a bookstore and I got the largest family bible I'd ever seen, with pictures and everything. I was so happy. That night the voice of the lord said, "Read Matthew 5." I had to look in the contents; I didn't know where Matthew was. When I found it and started to read, the words became a ("Word of the Lord to me") they just jumped off the page, they seemed to come alive, and they filled me, with hope, love and peace.

Now I knew God loved me, and my sins were gone, I was forgiven...
As time passed I grew, sometimes I'd walk into a busy office or building (like a D.O.L) and the Lord would say go sit by that guy, I would strike up a conversation, then say "you don't know me but I'm a Christian and God is going to share with me about your life" I don't mean simple things like "you have the flu" or "Headaches", but deep, personal things that others couldn't know or even guess. People would usually start to cry and ask "how did you know?" I'd say "I didn't but God knew".

One of the best lessons from the Lord concerning trusting Him happened like this; I was traveling from Philly to Atlantic city, I got on the road, and started to hitch a ride, (it wasn't illegal at that time) within one hour and twenty minutes I was in Atlantic city (which was a one hour drive!) I got 4 different rides, as I stepped into each vehicle I boldly proclaimed "Hi I'm a child of the King, and God's going to bless you for picking me up!" God gave me very personal details about each of those people and all but one came to Christ.

When I got to Atlantic City, God said "Rod, when you get to the prayer meeting tonight I want you to give all your money, to Johnnie Diaz". I said "Lord that's all I've got?" (About 300.00) God replied; "you take care of your brothers and sisters in the Lord and I'll take care of you." So upon arriving in Atlantic City, I secretly gave all my money to Johnnie, (this was to cover something for Johnnie that was very personal, so I know he didn't share this with anyone).

That night I asked myself "how am I going to get back to work, tomorrow? I didn't have a penny, not even enough for bus fare, and in my spirit I knew I wasn't to hitch hike, but instead the Lord wanted me on the bus. After sleeping that night and leaving the brothers house the next day, (where the meeting had been held).

I started walking to the bus station. As I got closer and closer, I was imagining, "is the drivers going to just "know" he's supposed to let me ride for free?" But as I approached the depot, a brother named "Chicky" came out of his house and said "rod I think the Lord wants me to give this to you." It was exactly what I needed for bus fare!
This has been a short summary of my life.




Many Years Later:


I loved God from as far back as I can remember, but I didn't meet Jesus until I was 16 years old.

Years after this miraculous encounter in 1974, I found myself in sin. Habitual sins.

I hated it, I fasted, prayed, confessed to my friends, went to a christian psychologist, and nothing helped.

This went on for years, and years. Then one day I'm out driving, all alone, and I yell out to God, like many times before, but this time, God speaks back.

I yell "God, when are you going to help me with this"...He says "Why don't you tell me the truth".

I have no idea what truth He means, then all of a sudden, I see, I understand, and I know what He wants of me. He wants my agreement with Him.

So I say, what He has revealed to me, at that very moment.

I agree with Him, and I speak the truth He has just shown me.

I say "God, I love my sin, I don't want you to interfere, in any way, or bother me about this"...

Next couple days I find my mind and will changing, that was 10-12 years ago.

The truth that sets us free, is the truth, the Spirit brings.

Been free from sin and its power ever since. That is our inheritance.




I'm sitting at the kitchen table, all alone, no one else is in the house.

It was raining outside, and I was looking out the window, when all of a sudden I hear, a voice say: Rod do you notice the rain drops, that they are all different from one another. I said I suppose so Lord. And do you know that you're different. I start to weep, thinking He is speaking about my face. Sternly, but without anger He says "NOT LIKE THAT!"

Rod you are like a piece of fruit in a bowl, with many other pieces of fruit (Christians), but you are the worse piece of fruit in the bowl. And that is why I will use you for my glory.

Some people, I put in the palm of my hand, I look at them, then I look away, but with you, I never take my eyes off of you.

Then He asks me, why do you believe, what you believe, and who taught you. I said Lord I don't know, I guess I just picked things up from others, along the way. He says do you think truth goes from the mind of one man and into another? I say no. I believe it comes from revelation.

Then several things rush into my mind, as if someone is pouring them into me, things about the bible and God start to come together.

You are not to shine or polish the cup. You just abide in me, and rest in me, do not try to establish your own righteousness.

I had spent years in a spiritual wilderness that seemed God had died or left me completely alone, as if He hated me for disobeying Him. (Of course, none of this was true, I know that now).

I was crushed, I confessed my sins to God and anyone who would listen. I felt for sure I was on my way to hell. I even fasted for 30 days one time, I wrote men of God, I cried, shouted, pleaded with God, got angry, desperate, I just can't share enough what this did to me. The silence was killing me.

But never once was I unaware of things God wanted to change, one was the fact that I wasn't trusting Him as I went thru this wilderness and trial.

Sin can't work in the Spirit…It's not the right vehicle (seed) for sin…

Yes but it's a little different now, where as in the 70's the Spirit had descended so heavily, that God spoke and it seemed audible, as if he were standing near you talking like a friend. Now it's little harder to describe, as if it is on the inside.

Re: How to talk to God and get an answer??
My best conversations with either the Father or His Son have been while lying in bed either late at night or early in the morning. Calm, quiet and peaceful times.

One time I asked the Father about destroying the earth in the end times. I said "it sure seems kind of sad that such a beautiful creation that you made would be completely destroyed".

He said "many others have asked this of Me too."

And yet, we don't truly know how beautiful the "new Heaven" and "new earth" would be. All we know is what people describe from their NDE's - Near Death Experiences.

Both Yahuah and Yeshua enjoy conversations with we humans.

As friends who love us...and as a Father and older brother, both knowing and looking out for our best interests, which can be clouded by our fleshly desires.
I am a humble Servant of the one True Living God.

Re: How to talk to God and get an answer??
Who here has tried talking/praying to God and got an answer through a dream or sign??

And if you did, how did you pray or talk?
 Quoting: Txguy89


God can communicate to us different ways - thru dreams, visions, other people, and his voice.

The most important is learning to hear God's voice, because it means you have a good relationship with Him.

Before I was able to hear God's voice, I had to repent and turn away from of all of my "willful sins" for a period of 2 full weeks. This includes TV shows, various websites, music, etc. Anything that is "self pleasure" that has nothing to do with God has to be removed from your life to hear God's voice.

Now I ask questions to God each and every day and am able to write down His answers! I also know as long as I stay right with God, He will protect me from all dangers, including Hell.
