Now to explain, when one tries to make God real in their life it is they who are doing the work, when one allows God to work in their life it is God working through them, and until you allow God to work through you one will not see the will of God in their lives. If one does not understand God's will for one's life, then why should one expect to be able to experience God.

Thanks for answering. But under what you explained, the person when "allowing God to work in their life" cannot know it's really "God" "working" in their lives. It could all be rationalizations of seemingly random and meaningless events that the person subjectively interpretations to be the "workings of God" in their life. And what does "allowing God to work in your life" mean anyway? How does one get that process started? And what exactly is "God's will"?

Edit: corrected some grammar mistakes. It's getting late here.

Don't worry about the grammar with me, mines horrible. It's getting late, no it's late here, but then I will be up the rest of the night, my Rottie has given birth to 8 pups, so I'm on duty for the night.

You're welcome. One will know, it's more than difficult to explain since I would be trying to explain how the omnipotent God works. Things can be coincidental up to a point, then one see's that the precision of things happening just could not be that coincidental. As far as God getting started working in one's life, He could start by working through others to get one headed in the right direction. Then the one will begin to pray and ask God for direction, after that all bets are off as to how He will do things, but there's one thing for sure if you wait on Him, He will set you on a road where you will see wonderful things happening and understand that God is bringing things to fruition in your life. I've experienced this many times when He put me to work with the youth in our church. That was many yeas ago, I no longer work directly in their teaching, but God still has me helping youth, even outside the church. Currently God has set me on an amazing path working with youth and young adults with drug, alcohol, depression, cutting and ect., and though it's a road I'm not down very far yet, the results have been amazing. Now I guess you would like to know how God got me started on this road and how I knew it was Him doing the work. It started a few years ago with my niece, who became addicted to drugs, and after her rehabilitation I went to her graduation, and saw the work that Christian organizations were doing to help people with addictions of all kinds. Then an former youth of mine had gotten into drugs and was in bad shape, I saw an opportunity to help and did. The speed with which things worked out to get him in a program and his willingness to go was far beyond coincidental. This past Sunday, after six months in rehab, he was in on a week's pass and gave his testimony and the change in this young man was amazing. From that I now have an opportunity to help a 15 year old, who's drug problem has led to cutting and he has said he's ready to be helped. I'm excited, but I know that until he's in the program, well it's all just talk, but here's where prayer goes to work. We'll see. Sorry for rambling on, but like I said I'm up for the night.

Since your religious view says, I am god, that must mean you talk to yourself and we all know what that means. You're nuts.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
