Why do christians think god communicates with warm fuzzy feelings instead of direct verbal speach?

Below is one example of him speaking to me.

One morning I got up and walked into the hall and I heard a voice that I believed was God say "How would you like to be stabbed in the Valley". The Valley was known as the rough end of town, and the voice scared me a little, I wondered if I had done something to offend God. I had planned to go down to the Valley to ask people out to church as was my habit at the time. In the end I went anyway regardless of the fear. I walked up to the first person I met and asked him if he would like to go out to church. He said to me "I am an atheist, I don't believe in God". I just said "fine", but hoped to change his mind. He then proceeded to unbutton his shirt and showed me scar marks up and down his chest and stomach. He said to me, "I was attacked by a knife wielding man in the Valley some time ago and spent months recovering in hospital, How could God allow that to happen to me". Then I knew why God had said in the morning "How would I like to be stabbed?". God understood this man, but had a good plan for him. Some weeks latter this man came out to church and became a Christian.
Did god tell you to steal a stock image of the knife wielding man for the story? It was taken from here:

Knowledgeable atheists do not start off debate with a "look at my scars and why did god do that?" That seems very far fetched. Can you give us this man's name to us so we can ask him why he converted? Perhaps you could give him our forum address, we'd love to meet him!

Hi I don't know where Simon lives nowdays, he lived in a Suburb quite far away from the church. After is initial conversion he mentioned he had Christian family members, so I just left him to his family, I did not get involved in his life. So Sorry I can't get him onto this forum. He told me his name was was Simon Murray.

As for the stock image on my website it is purely for interest sake, it is not deceptive.
Hey I love God he is awsome.
