God is my supporter, My Source, Love, and Life. God is the God and the Goddess and all the facets in between. God is you and me expressing to our fullest. God is All there is.

Sarah,\nYou sound so much like me it's scary!  \n\nI recieved the Holy Ghost when I was 11 at a Pentecostal church.  I was a faithful Pentecostal for years after that, but eventually I also made some mistakes, sinned, and also left the Pentecostal church altogether.  I stopped feeling God and I believed I had blown it with Him. Years later I met a friend who was a strong Christain and he basically took me to different churches, taught me, and helped me come back to the Lord.  \n\nIn the process I learned that God never left me.  He was with me before I was born, then He filled me with the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit never left me either.  My problem was that satan was lying to me and I was believing him.  The truth is just because we are filled with the Holy Ghost and saved, it doesn't mean we will automatically become perfect or stop sinning.  We still make mistakes and when we do we need to repent and God will forgive us. Recieving the holy Ghost does change your life, but it is a process. You don't just get it and that's it. \n\nWhen God filled you with the Holy Ghost, you began a relationship with Him. It's like when a great guy asks you out.  Now you have a great new boyfriend, so what next?  Do you just ignore him and that's it.  No, you talk to him, spend time with him, build your relationship.  The two of you also make mistakes, fight, and forgive eachother.  All the while your relationship grows and so does your love.  That's how it is with God.  The problem is satan doesn't like that and the first thing he'll do is try to condemn you. You'll make a mistake and he will tell you how horrible and non spiritual you are. Those are lies. \n\nOne of the best bits of advice I have recieved is this, "Remember God is still God no matter what happens or how you feel." He created you and knew all about you before you were born.  He also knows all of your flaws and all of the good things about you.  Even still he created you and eagerly awaited for you to accept Him so He could fill you with the Holy Ghost.  He always has and always will love you and desire a personal realtionship with you. Even now, He has not changed. He is still the same God you knew before and He still wants you back.  Whatever sins you have committed, all you have to do is confess to Him and He will forgive you.  But you have to accept his forgivness and forgive yourself.  Don't hold on to the past or mistakes.  Don't accept condemnation. You don't have to be spiritual or even good because He is. Just let him give you his love and goodness. \n\nIf you want the "feeling" again, pray and ask Him for it. (I have lost it and he gave it to me again). But the more important thing to remember is that it is more than just the feeling. God is still God weather you feel him or not.  He is just as much with you no matter how you feel.  He said "I will never leave nor forsake you." Sometimes he tests our faith by not allowing us to feel him because he wants us to believe in and trust him no matter how we feel. We really can't always rely on our senses because God is so much bigger and our senses don't give us the whole picture.\n\nThere's so much more I can tell you if you want to email me.  Just remember God will never leave you no matter what you've done. (Don't believe the lie that he has.  He hasn't.) You can still run to Him and He will forgive every sin and take away all of the bad things. Always remember He has never left and He never changes. Also don't condemn yourself when you don't feel him. Everyone goes through that.  Even Jesus himself did! Those are just the times when you have to believe and trust in him more.\n\nHope this helps and God bless.

yes, i have. a lot. so if i listed all the circumstances we'd be here a while. so i'll give you the situation with a good friend of mine. well, my best friend really. she's dead now (this past march...semi collided with her friend's car). when she speaks in tongues all the time i don't know WHAT she's saying obviously. i've heard that people who speak in tongues know what the subject is that they're talking about but not what they're saying. it's a spirit to God thing that they're not fully aware of. when my friend spoke in tongues the time that stands out the most was while i was trying to do something that was right and it was VERY hard for me. so she was praying for me in the "spirit language" as tongues is also called.

God, you and the world live for ever. You are a soul, soul never dies, similarly this world, about God?.....below\nWho is God?\nWho has been remembered as the Ocean of Love, the Intellect of the Wise, the Almighty Authority, the Comforter of Hearts, the Truth, The Living Being and the Blissful One?\nGod Says:\n I am the Ocean of Love; \nI show you the path of love. \nMy love remains unbroken and constant. \nI cannot forget even one of you. \nI have so much love for you,  \nand My love is unconditional and unlimited. \nI am the Beloved.You have been calling out to Me for a long time. \nWho Is God?\nWe are used to knowing things by seeing them, hearing them, tasting them, touching or smelling them. Most of us have grown up in a ‘seeing–is–believing’ and ‘hands on’ culture and we are used to perceiving things in that way. Because we can’t see, hear, taste, touch or smell God, the question arises – is God for real?\nOne can reach out to God with pure thoughts and be connected to Him. The soul experiences the response of pure feelings and spiritual strength. God is truth itself and thus can be recognized with the eye of truth.\nGod: The Supreme Soul\nLike us, God is also a soul. Unlike us, He is referred to as the Supreme Soul – the only soul who never takes a body (gross or subtle, human or angelic) of His own. He is beyond the effects of actions and is never subject to the dualities of birth and death, pleasure and pain, success and failure. Being beyond the limits of time of this physical world, He retains absolute knowledge of the universe and all its dimensions.\nWhere is God?\nGod lives, not everywhere but somewhere. A thought of God almost always takes the eyes upwards, as though one is perhaps expecting a face to miraculously appear from behind the clouds or to beam down from the moon. Thoughts are powerful. They link one soul to another. If they are properly channelled, thoughts can even go where only the soul can travel – beyond the moon and stars to a dimension of golden red light, the original home of all souls. Immersed in the experience of the warmth of this light, the soul feels as though it is truly at home at last, and with God.\nGod – The Spiritual Sun \nLike the physical sun, which gives light and life indiscriminately to all beings, God is the Spiritual Sun, giving light to all, whomever and wherever they may be. He serves altruistically, without any selfish motives, reminding each one of their innate qualities of love, peace and happiness. This is why He has been remembered in some countries and cultures by the name Shiva, The Benevolent One.\nGod’s Wisdom, Love and Power\nPeople may wonder why, if God exists, He doesn’t wave a magic wand and fix things, making or at least influencing everyone so that they do exactly what they ‘should’ do. But God never takes away anyone’s freedom of choice. God’s wisdom is to recognize and respect each soul’s individual identity, freedom and inherent goodness. God shares knowledge – a profound understanding of the dualities and dilemmas of love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, etc. – but He does not make our choices for us. The soul is free to choose ‘to be or not to be’, ‘to love or not to love’. God’s love strengthens the soul’s will to free itself from the distresses caused by vices such as selfish desire, anger, fear, ego and attachment. God’s power helps the soul to recognize its highest potential and to aim for perfection by practising the art of simple living and high thinking. Such practice by a significant number of souls eventually brings about positive change in the whole of humanity.\nWhen you learn to tune your mind in meditation to the mind of God, then whatever the situation, you always have a source of help and strength to draw upon – an infinite reservoir of power and virtues that is only a thought away

I was baptized Catholic and attended Catechism a few times but even at the age of 7 I didn't believe in "God". I believe the "higher Power" is within each of us and that we are all connected on a subconscious level. Now I worship nature.

It is a belief and a faith. You have to used to be a person to become spirits so God is just a belief for people who have faith.

What people refer to as "God" is essentially the positive energy force in the universe given a form and a name. The reality is that spiritual beings are man-created to explain the forces of the universe. They are all essentially one in the same because they are all representations.\n\nIn the Neo-Pagan/Wiccan/Druidic religion(s), the positive force is represented in its highest form by The Lord (sun) and the Lady (moon). The other entities control the forces in which they are related to.\n\nPeople who say there is just one god (Allah, Christ, etc.) and that there is no other divine entity do so because they are insecure in their faith and need absolute reassurance that what they believe is the only true religion out there.

GOD (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)

Well, I haven't met the God personally and none of my acquaintances and known have seen him to describe!\n\nHowever, I have been meeting and seeing his creations - living and non-living every day and getting an amazing, highly creative and friendly image of my God.\n\nI salute him for no match of his!!!

I am! Absolutely! And proud of it too! I'm sorry that no one around you is like us. It happens with me too. Apart from my daughter who is like me, with animals and nature. But my love encompasses the whole universe, for example I love the night sky and wonder about all those places faraway. I'm so much like that that I've come to believe the Universe is God and God is the Universe and that includes us (it's called natural or scientific pantheism).

hmmmmmmmmm.  Is it culturally acceptable to love a guy if that guy is a god?  Do I have to love a guy if that guy is a god?  I'd prefer not to.  And I'm also not sure about that hot sweaty thing either.

God is a spirit without a physical sex. While He is often refered to as a father figure He is also compared to a hen with chicks and a mother with a suckling child. In many languages the word parent is often said fathers. Matthew 23:37 ...how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings...\nThe gender of God is not as important as knowing that He is real and does love us as His children. John 3:16&17. God ripped out a third of His person and sent Him to live on earth as a man. God is not as some people say attempting to send us to Hell, but to save us from it. I'm a mom and I would do anything to save my children and God is the same way.

My favorite God is one God who makes Him/Herself known to me in so many ways.  So it is strange for me to say, "My favorite god is...." because to do so, I'd be denying these other manifestations of God which are equally important.\n\nBut you know, I have found Ganesha to be perhaps the most accessible form of God.  How odd that the most fantastical-looking manifestation of God seems to me the most real of all!  But see, it makes sense because Ganesha is the one who guards the door.  (Schneb, are you listening?!)  We greet him first.  He is somewhat of an intermediary, if you wish to call him that.  And he removes the obstacles that would come in our way of getting to know God in more of his fullness.\n\nI love Sri Krishna.  I love His words He spoke in the Bhagavad Gita.  \nI love Saraswati Ma, because she is the Goddess of wisdom and learning.  And I am a life-long student.  \nI love Lakshmi because she is our mother, and as a mother she loves us and intercedes on our behalf to our father, Vishnu.\n\nAs for a Saint, well I love Meera Bai.

I can only tell you about my experiences with Brigid. I view her as a Goddess and believe her to be the Goddess of inspiration, creativity, healing, poetry, and blacksmiths. I pay homage to her each year in February with a celebration of light.

I am my God.\nMy Self (Soul/Spirit) is my God and nothing is above it.

for me God is the loving Creator and wants us to be happy with Him forever in Heaven.\nGods attributes to me are Mercy and compassion, and also an important one is His Justice.

Yes, God is God no matter what you call him (or her) or how you choose to worship.\nI wish everyone understood this!
