If the answer was internal I would not need to ask the question.
I can do exactly the same thing by mentally consulting Oðinn, Raistlin Majere, or my guardian dragon Glori. Sounds like all you're doing is mentally stepping into a different perspective and letting your unconscious mind take the com.
IF you were honest with yourself you couldn't. That is why those religions are dead. There is nothing that supported those gods outside the soceity once it failed. Christianity transends soceities and culture because once tested people find what the bible promises.
To a degree all active religions work the same. there is something that has to support or reinforce those religions or they die.

Meaning not only do you get your version of putting you hands on the wounds of Christ but you have this access to God the rest of your life on your terms..
The problem? in essence You want God to be your servant. you want to conjure and have God do things for you. You do not want a God you want a genie. Otherwise your question would be "what do I have to do to serve God" Not what does God have to do for me to proove he is worthy of you.
Now in essence this is What God is offering in Luke 11, if you can humble yourself and meet Him on His terms. Which then turns the tables back where you like me would have complete access to God, except now you will be working for Him. instead He serving you.
Here's the thing sport. God does not love everyone. God loves his Children/all of them, but again not all are his children. If you can come to a place where you do not demand God seek you out and serve you, then He rightfully so wants nothing to do with you as you already belong to another.
Amusingly, god gets it wrong again.
Then please explain... because what I said was based off your demands. meaning you can not demand God provide you an explanation without wanting the things I provided.
