How can you even say you know him personally. I really am just curious i don't understand that. DO you know his favorite color, food, animal, all that stuff like you do with close friends or people you know? What makes you "know" him besides prayer which is even more confusing because its a one way conversation. Curious...
I do know him personally, he is not a friend but my Saviour. His favorite colour, animal, food is meaningless between my realtionship with Him.
Prayer is a strong power that us humans are allowed by God.
First I was convinced God and Jesus were real and alive not by the words of man.
No matter how many times I read the Bible the words themselves are meaningless, unless I look deeper & think in non-human ways, but how can I do that if I am human? I pray, the God given power that gives me the chance to call upon God, in Jesus' name, for help for any and every pure thing.
Why would i keep talking outloud for no reason?
When I pray sincereley and purely a great feeling burns in my heart, something almost unbelievable. At first I don't understand, I am believeing something without facts and still I cannot deny it.
I believe in God and Jesus not because I am afraid or feel better about myself but because I simply know it is truth.
I just know. No man or woman convinced me by giving me a long speech, No miracle or catastrophe happened in my life to force me into belief.
I just prayed one night alone in my room, and forgot the world, all my worries and all my pride. I asked vulnerabely if this is true...is this real....is this right..is this what will make me happy?.
I did not hear voices, I did not see a bright light, I witnessed no miracle. I was peaceful and reassured. That was my only answer from God.
I know Jesus personally because I have prayed like this many times after. During these prayers, I learned what he wanted me to do, what to say at what time. He taught me to be selfless. He showed me what I was doing wrong. He urged me to speak truthfully. He promised me happiness and showed me what real hapiness was.
From this He showed his love for me, His personal goals for me. We have held a long converstation, going both ways.
I by asking and showing gratitude to all He has given me, from the bread on the table to my health to my tiny family, and by Him doing his part by blessing my small family and revealing truths (some that might be hard for me to accept).
And it goes on for twenty four hours a day seven days a week and probably until the day I can finally talk to him face to face.

Megan asked me this question a while ago and it took me a while to respond. I just wanted to make sure she did not think I avoided her question, I did this out of respect for Megan.
