Revelator, I really did enjoy reading this presentation. I agreed with it 100%. In fact, I had commented on this subject earlier, and the article confirmed and stated even more clearly things which I was trying to say.

For me, belief in YHSVH came in a particular way. I had become so dissatisfied with my life that I started asking questions why I was even here. Things started coming to me. That period in my life was pretty dreadful; I had felt terrible. Later, I realized that I had experienced a sort of death. From it, a whole new world opened to me, sometimes even frightening, as I started seeing things which I never noticed before. For instance, I noticed how accidents and fights started on particular street lined by bars. For the first time, I started praying for God's help and protection on a daily basis... for our daily fights are on a spiritual plane. I learned that I was no longer alone in the world. God was with me and helping me along way. However, because we can not see God, and only see the evil done by others, that I am forced to work on my faith and belief on a daily basis.

At that time, I was able to re-read the words of YHSVH and for the first I time I could bear them, and started to understand his words. I had stopped fighting. Thats when all sorts of information was coming to me. I was practically drowning it information, like the flood gates had be open. Did I complain? No. I would never want to go back to that limited world of mine again. As I understood it, we become connected with God this way:

1. Belief in the name YHSVH, the saving Name. Through YHSVH, we become children of God and are re-connected with Him, for all things originate in Him.
2. Now, through YHSVH, we can communicate with God, ask for information or help.
3. God then pours His Holy Spirit in us.

However, even for myself, I test my own spirit. I first check the Bible to see what others have said on a particular subject. I always give first preference to YHVSH and his teachings, because he was resurrected and he is the messiah. If there is a fundamental conflict between what he taught and my own inspiration, then I should reconsider, but thats me.

I suppose that everyone has a different story, yet its basically the same result; we are re-connected with God and life itself.

Keep up the great work,

St. Cheez

Thanks for sharing that St Cheez.

Dissatisfaction with my life always draws me to Jesus.

I also had to come to a stage where I realized nothing in this life can satisfy. In fact, I remember thinking - "Why am I buying this new computer game knowing that in a week I will chuck it in the corner with the others because I'm bored with it"

Only Jesus satisfies me completely. And the most precious thing he gives me is that mysterious inner peace. I would not exchange that for anything!

To know that your life is right with God and you can just rest in His grace is the most wonderful thing. I just get shivers down my spine thinking of it right now.

Well, the next Discover Guide starts dealing with prophecy, and I am sure I will get some feedback from different quarters about it.

Thanks St Cheez.

Revelator!

You are absolutely correct, Revelator. Same thing happened to me.

You may have noted that beyond childhood we pretty much live in our own thoughts. For instance, while commuting, the driver may be thinking about getting home. When he is home, he thinks about being somewhere otherthan where he is at the moment. Some people think always in terms of the past, as if it was always better than now. Some people think about being someone else otherthan themselves. Some people get their fix by getting as you said another software, another job, another house, another friend, another wife/husband, etc. and always never happy with where they are now and what they have now. I was forced to confront my own situation in life. I had to stop running away and take responsibility for being here. That tied in with saying "I". These outward things were not feeding my starving inner being and I was not happy. Now, this may sound abit weird, but in confronting my situation here in life, in getting in touch with my inner being, I also found God. Its a kind of mystery. To me, that is part of that new life or new chance in life.

Best wishes,

St. Cheez

You touch upon one problem of life, becoming dissatisfied or bored.

In relationships, this happens all too often.

In my opinion, I become boring and familiar, when I identify with my earthly personality or flesh. I am this and I am that, or I am not this nor that. I have many limitations, and the world imposes limits on me as well.

However, if I identify with the spirit which is unknowable,unpredictable, unlimited, etc., then I become the same. Maybe this is the key to this problem of life, becoming dissatified and bored with myself.
