If "god" wants to talk to me... [new video]

Here's a crazy thought.. What if it simply takes a measure of humility to identify what God may have already have told you. Or to put it another way.. What if God has already spoken with you? How would you be able to recognize him?

Let says if you have the ass hole attitude that God MUST speak with you or be senile or He cant do it.. Puts you in the wrong mind set.. Or rather puts you in the same mind set the Saducees and Pharisees were in when they encountered Christ..

Meaning when Jesus Rolls up and says I am the Christ, the Messiah. They can't believe Him. Why? because they expected something/someone so completely different they could not believe they in all of their wisdom could be so far off, in their belief and worship of God.

In other words those idiots were soo caught up in what they thought God and in turn the messiah should be they missed who He was.

My question to you is, how do you know God has not already spoken to you?

God spoke to me via a big scary black man/The last person on the planet that I would think to Hear directly from God From. How ever I was able to put down my expectations of how God was to approach me, and listened to the words Big Scary said. It was by His words (found in scripture) that validated the message, and was also later confirmed when specific predictions began to take place. Predictions I would have never heard if I first did not recognize my role my need to be humble enough in that situation to hear him out.

So again, Can God speak to you, yes. Is He going to do it on your terms? He might, but I can almost 100% say He won't. Why? Because we are all commanded to humble ourselves before HIM and HE will lift us up. Not demand God dance a gig and play to our sterotyps. If you learn to humble yourself before God as He instructed, then you might realize all the times God has been shouting at you, but you refuse to hear Him, because he did not approach you on your terms.

So believe without any evidence first, then you'll get evidence?  How can you force yourself to believe something?  Could you force yourself to believe that there is no god?  This kind of faith is baffling. And the bible says faith is a gift from god, but, being raised religious and fervently believing, I guess I killed my faith with too many facts.

Those people had no idea God flooded the world, Noah preached to them for 100 years and they didn't hear what God was saying through Noah. So are you like those who drowned with their hearts closed if so why, I would think no one wants to drown when there is a Life Saver to reach out for..

Noah preached to the entire world?  How did he get around?
