In 2012 I had my first encounter with Christ. I'll keep it brief but its a very long story. It happened when I forgave my mom for personal stuff. An audible voice cut into my thoughts. "Now you understand my daughter" I heard. And yes it was extremely terrifying at first. A golden light filled the room. It was so intense I collapsed to my knees. I started to cry in terror honestly. I actually thought I was dying but the voice comforted me.
"Please. I'm like a child," I muttered, thinking I was going to die.
"You ARE a child" I heard the voice of God say which confirmed to me that he was actually literally speaking to me. His voice was deep and masculine.
When I asked God to please back off on the intesity, it did and honestly we were able to have an entire conversation. I was told Jesus IS God. I asked why I was so depressed all the time. "You forgot that I love you" he said.
Two years Later I had another intense experience but this time I was given a vision. Gid used symbolism that I could relate to and totally understand. It was political and had to do with the deep state and Obama but at the time I was not awake yet so it was confusing. But once things started happening in reality, I understood what God was trying to tell me. It's because of God that I am fully awake and unvaxxed today. It is because of God that I am fully saved and have eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven. I love him with all my heart mind and soul and I don't know why he picked me to speak to and to basically personally save. He told me you "must have faith" and now it's stronger than ever. Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to share that with you all :). God bless you all!
Point of note: one need not be religious to have faith in God. The two are dissimilar as oil and water and the proof of that can be found anywhere.
I always say," Belive in God, not Religion. God saves, religion sways".
The idea that you have to earn your salvation, or do something in order to keep it.
That thinking is like saying- what you did on the cross isn’t quite enough, here let me help.
Exactly. We want to please our Lord so we cheerfully live as He wants us to; as opposed to constantly working towards something that’s already finished for us.
I think that religion (as in the context that bears a negative vibe) leads to guilt and shame in a person. It leads to our focus being set on the wrong things (how we dress, what denomination we belong to, etc) when we should be focused on Jesus and let the rest fall into place :)
Organized religion. Thought this was self explanatory.
Now, before this goes into some wild accusatory/projecting thing, understand I've been Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, and Baptist. Each one requires certain group think and each one tends to focus on only certain parts of the Bible while ignoring others.
Disclaimer: This is not to say there aren't those gems in the crap pile, but they're rare. Most do not want to lose that sweet tax exempt status so bow to the state, and it shows.
Ergo, a person not understanding how the CIA put the clergy into thier crosshairs to bend minds thru religion will understandably get upset. Its one of the toughest paradigms to crack.
Just know; believe in God, not Religion.
