Who confirmed God to you, if I might ask?

Several people to be honest. My grandfather was the greatest influence on me in that category. But at the risk of sounding crazy, (Too late?) my confirmation came from God Himself. When I pushed everyone's opinions to the side and approach Him on my own.

Honestly, this is where I get lost. What was the actual process of approaching God?

Sorry for the delay, Frink.

For me, it was going into a room by myself with a bible, and shutting off the noise. No phones, tv, radio, whatever the distraction may have been I had to remove it. I learned that if my mind was busy, I was missing it.

I'm trying to explain this the best I know how, so please bear with me.

For me God speaks in thoughts. I fully believe he can speak as we do, but again, for me the way I'm talking about is the norm. Have you ever caught yourself having a conversation with yourself in your head. Perhaps you're debating an issue, trying to make a decision. For years I assumed I was conjuring both sides of the thought process, but then it hit me, I'm not. I'm debating with something else. In this case, God.

Now, I do believe in demons and angels, and believe they try to talk to you too. The danger is that demons will masquerade as light (God) and if you don't know how God talks (by studying the Bible) you could easily be duped. So with that I have experienced God talk in many ways, but those two being the most frequent ways He speaks.

Another component that confirms His voice to me is if it follows with a peace inside. If i'm at peace, then typically that is His direction. Jesus said, "Peace I give to you." Not world peace mind you, but a peace inside that can't be explained (to me) outside of God.
