When you 'good people' want proof of God you are asking for an interaction with the Holy Spirit (Because as I have said here many times before what better 'proof' of God is their than of God Himself?)

This is the same sort of thing that believers in other religions say. There are Muslims who report the same sorts of experiences as you. Do you think that proves that Islam is correct? There are Hindus who report religious connections as well. Do you think that proves that Hinduism is correct?
However it may seem and feel to you, it is no evidence at all. Pretty much every religion has the same sort of "evidence" for them, too. Since religions all contradict each other, at most, only one religion could be right (though they could all be wrong). So religions that are false have exactly this same type of "evidence" that you are putting forth. Which means that it cannot possibly prove the religions to be true.
