An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers
I wrote a small journal last night and since it is my first journal, officially, I wanted to be sure it was legitimate so to speak - not that I doubt God's voice, but this is more a "confirmation" thing I suppose.
It was during my usual prayer time, and I noticed that my mind was blank, and really tired - and after a little while of wondering what was up and wondering if I was just tired, I thought that I should take advantage of this rare moment where my brain was quiet, but I still felt connected to God.
So, I began to listen...well...sort of, it is hard to describe listening, and I heard a voice inside.
It was simple, and not all that grand or cherubim wrapped so to speak, but it was a bit like a quick chat so to speak. My mind was beginning to turn back on and process things, so the voice almost seemed to try to get its word in before my mind started cluttering up the signal. Atleast, that is what I pictured afterwards when thinking about it.
It is hard to describe exactly what it was like, so I kinda have to act out where the voice came from, and what the conversation was like so...here it goes. [*'s are around actions; *hugs* = I am hugging]
*puts his hand on his chest* -- This area seemed to be the place that was "thinking" thoughts.
*puts his hand to his head* -- This area seemed to be just a receptacle for those thoughts.
*puts his hand on his chest again, and then moves his hand in an upward direction* -- The inside voice moved in an upward direction into the head, instead of outward like thoughts that come from the area of the head tend to move.
My chest felt warm afterwards, and when I say chest, what I mean is like..not the physical rib cage, or the physical heart, but that "area" inside of me, the inner me's heart I guess.
The voice said this, which I wrote down; Things in parenthesis are where two words seemed to combine and come out at the same time.
"I love you."
"I shall (will) do as you asked, and then you will know that I am your lord and saviour (redeemer)."
So, is this from God?

That makes two and a half people (one person isn't quite sure but doesn't see anything against scripture in it) who say it is God, and my own inner believing by faith as well. This is pretty cool! ^_^

Seek Him for Himself alone, only to want Him, to want to be with Him, and your heart will rejoice always. It is not with the head that we hear Him most clearly, but with the searching, seeking heart. He speaks from His heart to your heart, as yours does to Him.
Of course you heard from Him! Your own spirit witwness so! He loves you!
The Holy Spirit taught me that He will either trickle out or gush out, as much as we want of Him, we can know of Him. He is our living Well of living water who lives within each person who names Jesus LORD. He invites us all to come and drink. God bless you richly with His precious presence made known to you, even to being your new born self.
