Believing Vs Claiming to Believe

[Brakeman]

So how do these divine communiques reach you? It's really hard to get a straight answer from most christians, beyond that it's not a literal voice that they hear. It'd be really useful, going ahead, to have an understanding of how this guidance manifests.

As far as my communications with God? I ask Him. Does He always answer? Yes, but not in the usual ways.

I'll share one, fine example. My mom was rushed to a local hospital ..
. We held hands and prayed that "God's will be done". I told God that I was trusting Him, whether He wanted my mom or not. I knew there was a good reason." ..

I left that chapel with TOTAL TRUST IN GOD! He rewarded my trust with my mom's life. And if she died. I'd feel the same today.

So in effect, you got no answer at all, you merely attributed an outcome to gods will. You didn't even know what god's will was going to be but you prayed for it, asking for nothing!

This is like praying to my mailbox to be full or not, whatever the magic mailbox wishes!

Now obviously, given the bible stories, not all people fail to get a true voice with communication from god, or else they are lying. What's wrong with you so that god doesn't want to talk to you? Is he too busy? Is jesus just so burnt out on it all that he doesn't care any longer?
