"God Spoke to Me"......

What does this mean?

There have been religious people in the past who had a "special revelation" from the Holy Spirit.

Now one particular example is a common lady named "Ellen G. White."  I have read some of her writings and they are very HOLY in nature, compared to modern-secular woman writers.  I do know that she had an event in her life as a child where she knocked unconscious.....but this did not stop her from writing....... A LOT.

There is a "change" and "difference" in her writing compared to other common man of the day in which she was alive.

She did not have access to a Qumran Calendar because the dead sea scrolls were not unveiled at the time of her writing and speaking about things of God.

Her EXAMPLE sets as a good example for other women on how to properly address the scripture as a whole, even though she did not have access to the things we have today.

Other people have had God speak to them.  People who were formerly Muslim, came out of the religious system of deception and came to the truth after God "spoke to them in a dream."

Atheists have come away from atheist beliefs because "God spoke to me."

I'm not sure if other reformers have had "God speak to them".....but it is possible.

In the anabaptist faith there are some groups of people who believe that to determine if a "marriage" is to take place "God spoke to me".....must first happen for the man and then later for the woman.



There is a difference between God actually revealing himself to man and a man hearing voices.

There is a difference between a Godly man having "God spoke to me" and a hyper-active crazed financial gain "God spoke to me" types of people.  There is a difference between a Godly man having "God spoke to me" and a person who "hear's voices."  God speaking to people does NOT cause a person to stumble and create strange imaginative things......God causes people to restore order to nature and other things......to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

Read the story of Samuel.  God himself speaks to children from time to time.  So we ourselves must become as little children if we wish to "hear God appropriately."  Read the story and consider that little boy Samuel was sitting in the holy of holy, the lamp was there and everything in the tabernacle.  the "God spoke to me" happened to Samuel.

Yes, I have had a few revelations here and there.   I don't consider myself automatically "sinless" because of this.  I don't consider my self extra special or "Holier" than other people because of this.  I will not make "money" because of a special revelation.

In fact, I have had a dream of a person who "passed away" and was born-again before she passed away.  She was a great friend to many.
