Dearest GL Tirebiter.... the greatest of love and peace to you!
like I said, praying to Jehovah, Jesus or the wind results in same sort of result - nothing.
There is no "Jehovah"... or "Jesus", really, dear Diamondiiz (again, peace to you, as well!). Those are inaccurate. You could try approaching the Most Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies... by going THROUGH the Holy One of Israel, JAHESHUA, though...
So you're saying that Jesus would answer someone, but they would need to call you to hear him or his answer?
Oh, no... no, no, no, no, no... not at all. My Lord would indeed answer the person directly. Indeed, he DOES. Unfortunately, though, some lack the FAITH it takes to hear. I have written here how to do it, yet some still say, "But I can't hear him!". So, I say, "Call me, I can help you get started, if you wish/need me to, but please know that I will then need to get out of the way." Since one of my gifts is hearing spirits... I can help them at least get started... by recognizing the voice. That is what I am supposed to do WITH the gift, for those who still lack faith.
Doesn't that sound a bit odd, wouldn't you say?
NEEDING to call me? Not just odd, but incorrect...
Wouldn't you say that many putting faith in Jesus looking for answersd don't seem to get any voices and it doesn't matter how strong their faith is but certain individuals like yourself do?
I would not. I would say that many THINK they're putting faith in "Jesus" ("I DO believe, I DO believe..."), but that as soon as he DOES speak they either (1) ignore it, (2) dismiss it, (3) attribute it to themselves speaking, or (4) attribute it to "demons." I did the first and last ones, initially...
So, it's not true I wouldn't take you up on the offer but if Jesus cannot speak to me directly why in the world would I or anyone else need to contact you to hear Jesus speak to them, that just doesn't make sense!
It doesn't... and you don't. Ask for yourself... PLEASE... as to what you asked me above: "is it possible." My response was no, it is not. What do YOU hear?
Why would Jesus answer me now and not when I was seeking him for help?
My first inclination is to ask you why are you asking ME? In light of this discussion? Why not ask HIM... and then LISTEN to HIS response? That way we don't even have to deal with what apparently "stumbled" you above (calling me). You are asking ME, though, because you don't BELIEVE he WILL answer. So, here we are, back at square one. I ask YOU: what do you WANT?
So it's no wonder that people don't take you up on the offer,
Oh, stop. They don't take me up for the very reasons I stated above: they don't really believe it can/will occur, or they're not ready, yet, if they ever will be. That's on them, though, not me...
after all you could also call them since Jesus would give the vital information to contact them personally if he wanted to which would also strengthen the other individual's faith, wouldn't you say?
It might, but it's not permitted... so that no one can say I went in pursuit of them, to mislead them. It really is all about what THEY want... and not what I want. I am THEIR servant... not the other way around. So, if my Lord tells me to go/call, I go/call. Usually, though, it's the other way around. Which is one way that the WTBTS' false teaching of "going door to door" is proven wrong. No one ever went door to door. Paul preached "openly" to those called by Christ from the house [of one] to the house [of another]. It was NOT, however, the houses of random strangers. And when my Lord sent his disciples out and told them to "search out those deserving," HE was the one who decided who was "deserving" and so either sent them specifically to someone... or that someone specifically to them. It was NOT random.
After all, you could at least use people's real names when directing your comments to them since you at least would be privy to that info from the lord and maybe people would take you a bit more seriously ;)
Such ones always... ALWAYS... reveal their own names to me, dear Diamondiiz. In fact, MOST of them were called and hear without ANY input from me. And there are many. Not thousands... as although many are called, few are chosen... but quite a few. As a result, we are no longer strangers but brothers and we get to know each other, sometimes intimately (as to our personal lives). I usually don't have as much to share off the board because I tend to share a good deal of it here, but we do get to know each other and either email or speak via telephone quite frequently. In fact, I often despair because I work and have a family and so can't speak with them all as much as I'd like.
Anyway, the "offer" is out there, dear Diamondiiz... from God... Christ... and if you still lack faith... me. But again, I can only do what Andrew, Peter's brother did. The record is that he, Andrew, found his own brother, Peter, and said to him, "We have found the Christ." Which I have been saying here for some time. The record states, however, that after that "He led him to JAHESHUA." So, it would be only that... and nothing more.
I bid you peace!
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
