questions for religious people

[KOOL-AID]

have any of you ever heard "God" or some other spiritual entity speak to you? like i always hear people say this and think its bs. when i use to go to church there was a segment at the end where the pastor nikka wld ask people to come and speak if they had anything on their minds and unfortunately people wld go up n talk everytime to my displeasure as i wanted to go home on time and it always came off as them just using the "god told me" shyt as a means of telling their own tale or advice. can yall really say this is a real thing? oh and the whole speaking in tongues just seems like blurting the first thing that comes to mind or you saying gibberish for the hell of it and to meet the notion

Many times people can see definitive signs that will give the meaning of "Talking to".

They wouldn’t be religious if they asked questions in the first place.

Always felt when people would say that bc I can't question/ converse with them as it is a subject that has no right or wrong. At that point, I.

I don't think they mean a literal voice, moreso insight

Actually, I spoke in tongues when I was l13 at Creflo Dolla's church. It wasn't gibberish, it was the Holy Ghost.

This.

God doesn't actually talk to us like another nikka would having conversations and shyt.

God gives us signs and leads us down the right path through our intuition.

God is always speaking to us. The thing is, most people aren't attuned or have the awareness that the situations in front of them or the thoughts that came out of nowhere come from a supernatural source. They can come from God or Satan. This is where discernment comes into play. Now there's also people who do hear the audible voice of God, but that requires much fasting and seeking GOD with all your being. Doesn't happen every time you do seek His audible voice because God will measure your sincerity by your persistence of seeking Him. This is the Most High, you know, your Creator and most powerful being in existence. No reason why any of you can't contact Him through PRAYER and ask Him whatever's on your heart (He does love you and I'm nearly 100% most of you have a misunderstanding of who he is for various reasons), not through BS like voodoo, ouija boards, or other demonic activities That'll get you caught up in things and creatures you thought were only in movies and video games

Couldn't it be that when you are fasting you could be having delusions since you are depriving your body of sustenance

how is prayer any less "demonic" than trying to contact God through Voodoo? If God cares and knows "what's on your heart" why would it matter whether you tried to contact him through deep prayer or through a ouija board? If it's my "heart" that matters, why would God mind if I whispered at him through the window instead of knocking at the door?

Feel free to respond. I'm interested. No name calling, no religion bashing from me. Just regular questions about your post

Not everyone believes in speaking in tongues. And when people saying God spoke to me it’s figuttively. It’s about signs that answered there questions or helped them.

Yes. There are many who have but there are also many "false prophets" as they say so always research with discernment & believe nothing you haven't experienced for yourself but at the same time do not judge the instructions of those claiming unless you have followed those instructions for yourself.

The Creator, or God, or whatever your belief of Higher Powers approach has always been a subtle & silent one... the voice & works of the "inner devil" desires attention & recognition...
