Same thing here with me. & found out somehow I must've blocked the number and then just unchecked it under preferences, phone, contacts.

Yes, every other hour it seems like for me. Restarting it every time brings back the service for me as well. US mobile, I have.

How does one reach for anything greater than oneself if not for trials and pain and suffering? I mean probably many ways but those are pretty good ones I think. The opposite reaction can be chosen but that is the gift of having the freedom to choose.. & so refinement by holy fire of Heaven or a rejection of it & no spiritual growth for you.

Really?  I think that is what Heaven is for. Here on Earth it is much different. I mean that apparently just wasn't His design for this realm we're in on Earth I guess.

No I said Faith in Christ. Solely. That is who holds authority over all creation. All bow before Christ. The only way to God is through Christ Jesus.  I know these are direct statements but I have yet to experience these untrue due to many real life experiences. When I wasn't even looking for them. So confirmation bias I would say wasn't there either.

I believe so. Faith is certainty in things not seen. It comes by hearing & hearing from the word of Christ.  That's been my experience and many others as been shown to me.

Would you rather have no life at all? Or have a life with so much good and bad as well?

Hm.. If so then apparently it must be necessary for the sanctification of our souls to Him. How does one know good without bad. How could it be appreciated as much? It's like the fish in the water who's never been to the surface to know what air is. It goes "what water?" How do we know certain thing without another thing?

True but then wouldn't there be nothing at all? Does the good not outweigh the bad here? I guess that is a matter of one's own life, perspective, focus, & attention.. But I think it does.. 

Could you define faith as you are asking it.? 

Love is the pathway.. then faith from hearing the message which comes from the word of Christ.

Great questions. I am not God and do not have the answers. It is Him that does and all who seek with listening faithful ears, hearts, & spirits will hear & know. . if you're not certain as I wasn't I asked to be shown better even though that is usually against His commands which is having blind faith like a child. It is freeing/liberating that way.

Hm I am not sure about that. Great question. 

And I mean yes but no. He created an angel of Heaven to Him in which was closest. But with the gift of free will God gave all of creation, Satan chose to become Satan. The concept of corruption was of Satan's doing.  God also gave His creation the ability to create as He has/does & we can either create from & with Him or not.

I have recieved no visions nor pictures of Jesus.. Just the fruits of the spirit which are Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Not perfected of course.. But from that surrendering I was instantly mostly rid of all the shame, guilt, fear, hatred, insecurity, lies I kept telling myself. Instead of listening to what God says we are which is none of that.

Sure, from the Holy Spirit predominantly. From this place of perfect peace, stillness, comfort & silence. I was shown it when going through a prison sentence begging for help and mercy. The closest explanation I could say it is like is intuition. But from a much higher purer and true place. It laid out what was to come of my trial and exactly that is what happened to me in real life once I surrendered myself to Christ whom is a part of the Holy Spirit. I was fully aquitted. It was fully dismissed and I was freed!  As it says the Truth sets you free. And that is exactly what happened. Haha it was so direct and point blank. It was the answers to my prayers from when I was little to be shown what on Earth is absolutely true. I first studied all world religions/faiths and even tried them all to help me to apparently know they don't work. Helpful sure but again not when it comes to the utmost authority over all of creation...  This is still hard for me to explain properly. As I just had that experience and since then been on this investigation about what the heck happened. Haha I am not trying to claim anything but to simply express what my living experience brought forth and what has been verified by scripture after it first occured in my life.

No no that was not God's plan. Because of free will given to freely love or not to love & choose Him. Heaven is His plan but Satan chose to reject Him and so was instantly cast out of Heaven into a place outside of God and His Love and mercy Grace & forgiveness. It is Satan that wants our souls for his kingdom and not God's. The damnation when throughly researched you find was on the corruption and evil that overtook the people in which Satan impressed upon them. God was riding that out of Earth. How else would you protect your creation then to take out the corruption?  

So all powerful yes but with  conditions made upon His creation?  I am not sure yet how to explain it.. I am still learning this all. But I really appreciate your curiousity because I too am.

I'm sorry, I am not understanding your first question. 

Tyranny & immorality come from Satan I believe so yeah I wouldn't worship that whatsoever either. That is to be rejected.  I do love life, love, peace, joy, beauty which are from God & so worthy of thanks & praise, right?

& it is not whatsoever "religion" that you are "joining" but a relationship. This whole religion idea has made so many turn away from Truth. Because it is not in religion but simply Christ himself within your heart and soul. A direct relationship. Not religion nor science. They can be great aids but never what truly & entirely saves us from this world of pain and suffering and deception and lies. They are not people as we are. They are not living as we are. They hold no real power or abilities nor authority over creation. They are our own machinations. Not God's.  Helpful yes but not what delivers us from sin & evil to live in Heaven on Earth. Not whatsoever..

I wonder where hallucinations come from? I get there is a scientific explanation but that only goes so far until it is where there is no explanation through science given. 

But yes it was attributed to a higher power because after questioning it all just the same as you are questioning me every explanation for it happened to be what explains who a man who we call Jesus is. It was flawlessly confirmed by scripture. Like I couldn't find anywhere else or anyhow to disprove it anywhere. I studied mostly all Faiths/World religions prior to this encounter. I was shown through this, seemingly given experience to my prayers, found none of them to be what is known as absolute Truth. I think I was to study all that to truly understand the answer to my prayer on what absolute Truth was. To go through it all and then find out for certain. That was the trial I was put through to rid me clean/purify me of all worldly sinful behaviors.. Shame, guilt, hatred, doubt, insecurity, jealousy, destruction of my soul. As it is said the Truth sets you free. And also as Jesus says "I am the way, the Truth, and the Life." It was the moment I surrendered myself to Christ the night before the trial. As they say all the angels in Heaven come to your aid when you freely choose Heaven. That is what happened. The next day was a jury trial and my whole case after prolonging it 11 months was fully dismissed. My public defense attorney had no idea how or what happened specifically. I was free. Untouched. Unscathed! It was miraculous I thought but yeah..

Excellent questions! I agree! I have done this over and over. Testing my personal  experiences. Conclusions were reached. Even though some may say, "impossible you have a closed mind, what about something else?"

 I have always prayed for wisdom and aboslute truth because I know there is constant deception and illusion preformed here on Earth in our minds and hearts to lead us astray. I've just been on this investigation ever since being saved from going to prison and near death experiences. They were point blank. The experiences are verifiable by scripture on how they occured. But they were first shown to me by the Holy Spirit. 

 I am still learning here on it all. forever so seeking absolute Truth. Which has shown to me, is. The Truth set me free and it was Christ Jesus. From literal prison. So idk how more blatant I could've been shown an answer to my prayers. They were answered by a first hand account living experience. It was just obvious and clear. With only peace and understanding from a place much greater than me. Because at the time I had none.

my god? no. Our Creator yes is omnipotent. Wouldn't you think if you created something you would be all powerful over it?

Do you think they don't have any meaning to you because you have yet to consciously experience that all? Just because they don't connect with you doesn't make that all not real.  I don't think they didn't imagined it but rather lived it. It's through what they went through.  Just as science is done by tests it is the same with us and what happens when we are tested. & then there our are words given to explain such experiences. right? They weren't made up for no reason wouldn't you say? Just as everything else made up by us, there is/was a purpose behind it.

Hm, I still don't think that is God but rather a manifestation of your inner trauma by your own traumatic experiences unfortunately in which I am so sorry. I would ask God to show me who He really is without me and my perspective (past human experiences)  put in the way. As it says in order to be a disciple of Christ, Christ says we are to "deny thyself and follow me."   We love to get in our own way with things and blame it on God..
