I absolutely think that is helpful! Thanks for sharing that!

That’s an amazing story and wonderful proof that we can experience Oneness with God.

And so I ask you. Now that you are living in a space of Oneness with God, how do you view needing to accept Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection to have it?

The reason I ask is that really, what you are experiencing is heaven. It is oneness with God. It’s what religions promise and can’t deliver – that’s why they promise it will come after you die! That way you can’t come back and get a refund!

Therefore, when the time came much later, when God and I communicated (in the mind, not only floods of thoughts but definite conversations taking place – me asking loads of questions and Him answering) it took me literally YEARS to accept it really was God.

Usually the things we ‘discussed’ were in their own right quite outrageous (waaaaay out of the Christian box of comfort) ; and yet what kept me semi-believing was the fact that He would give me amazingly different, new and exciting scripture interpretations. Finally I knuckled down to make the choice as the lack of peace over this issue was beginning to drive me mad!!! Is this God or is this my excellent creative imagination?

It took me two weeks to get the courage to believe! I had to make the choice to believe ‘all or none’ as the voice speaking to me of these different things was the same one all the time. I remember the day and moment standing under a tree announcing verbally to God that from now on I would believe it was God speaking to me and not my own imagination! Believe it or not, it was a very scary, courageous moment! To force me to stick to my new choice, I chose to make it a vow!!

I had a few tough weeks pressing into my declaration and choice ~ but amazingly it all fell into place. Once I got rid of the doubt and worry I had about this issue, and stuck to my decision to believe, knowing I was in the right safe atmospheric conditions (another story!) it all came right.

It gradually became very obvious through a clear inner knowing what was God and what was me.

Interestingly, once you get started into a flow with Him, you don’t get interrupted by your own thoughts OR any other influence, it just pours through you and nothing of your own thoughts can gain entry.. and you absolutely KNOW when it comes to an end… then you have to be very careful at that blending point between your flowing time with God’s communication, and back to ones own thoughts to distinguish..

However, as time passes (years!) you grow into basically pretty much your whole thought life is you and God… this seems to just evolve this way. You become one thinker. You just ‘know’ things..and you simply ‘do’ and ‘go’ and don’t need to think about ‘is this God or is this me?”

I’m not sure how easy or hard this all sounds, but everyone is different. I was a natural born skeptic so perhaps this is why it took me so long.

The one thing though which is really a ‘must’, is constantly getting with God in that still place… this whole process only happens as we are prepared to make the effort to meet with Him often and regularly. Otherwise, it doesn’t happen. Maybe to many people, they don’t need to communicate? I had a burning desire for this, which I cannot and do not take credit for… but it burnt so strong I was drawn to it 24/7 like a moth to the proverbial flame!!

Maybe this is helpful? I wish someone had told me this years ago! It might have saved me a LOT of angst!

I’m not in perfect alignment with that thought.

It seems a little arrogant or presumptuous to assign thoughts in that way, in that order. I just don’t think it’s that cut and dried.

Personally, I also don’t entertain the idea that “the enemy” is injecting thoughts into my mind. That will sound blasphemous to the believers in the enemy’s power, but I don’t give that power.

It seems a common malady to feel separated from God.
It is just a feeling, and feelings are a choice – not an accurate representation of reality.
Keeping the facts before us helps overcome those feelings that often arise.
Glad you’re doing fine!

I don’t typically leave comments either, and yet I really appreciate people leaving comments on my site! I’ve even been a bit reluctant to create this site, but felt compelled to do so.
Comments such as yours thrill me, and make me know the effort is worth it!
Having confidence in our relationship with God is key. If we doubt our own connection with God, it’s impossible to have a meaningful relationship with Him.
As Jesus said “According to your faith be it unto you.”

Thanks and Blessings,
