I thought I would create a thread where I could place verbatim excerpts of interactions I have with Our Father.

I can see you’re expressing something deeply personal and meaningful to you here, especially in how you’re framing your inner experience and your relationship with God.

I am curious to understand the framework you’re using.

When you present these exchanges in the form of “GOD speaking,” how are you distinguishing between personal reflection and inner thoughts
symbolic or poetic expression and what you would consider an actual divine communication with external authority?

The reason I’m asking is that Scripture consistently emphasizes testing and discernment when it comes to claims of divine speech (for example, 1 John 4:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:21). Not everything internally experienced or spiritually felt is automatically treated as God speaking in a direct sense, even among believers.

I’m just trying to understand what criteria you are using to make that distinction, because that seems important for clarity, both for you personally and for how others interpret what you’re sharing.

Would you say this is intended as revelation, symbolic expression, or a form of internal dialogue framed devotionally? coffee:

Good questions Angelina.
Before I answer I would like to ask you something.
I think that I read recently that you have experienced actually hearing an audable voice which either idetified itself as Jesus or you somehow recignised the voice as being Jesus'.
Was that a post you made as wittness, or am I mistaken?

@Eternal Entity, you are answering a question with another question, so I’ll come back to that, but I want to stay on the question I asked first so it doesn’t get sidetracked.

My question was about the framework you use to distinguish between the personal inner thoughts, symbolic/spiritual expression, and what you consider actual direct communication from God.

What are the criteria you use for making that distinction? That’s the part I’m trying to understand. :thumbsupx1
