For some time now and then I have been doubting about my contact with God and about the voice I hear. And in the last few days I even thought "everything is becoming so normal and almost “worn”, and I am certainly not very inspired". I sometimes even thought "maybe I'am making it up all."
So one day I asked God if I could get a sign in the
coming time that I knew I had to stop or go on. Whatever, but something very
clear that made me know what to do. Because continuing in this way didn't seem
right to me.
One night so around six o'clock it seemed as if I no
longer heard God well, the voice sounded increasingly vaguely and farther away.
And suddenly I heard nothing. Nothing at all. Whatever I asked or said or
waited or listened to, I no longer heard anything but a deafening silence. And
I noticed that I was relieved about losing all responsibility and the special
thing about hearing a voice. I was really relieved.
Later that evening I called a good friend of mine who listened to my story and also noticed that I remained very calm. She got the firm impression that it was very temporary and that "they upstairs" gave me exactly what I asked for but with a little bit of humor. I wanted a sign, well of course I would get one. And she assured me that I should continue to live calmly and then I would see. I actually agreed with her.
During the night I sometimes woke up and noticed an
increasing unrest and also regret in myself. What had I done now, played with
God, didn't I take the voice seriously, treated I God like a friend of mine? It
wasn’t strange that I was punished, oh no, I realized God does not do that. Was
it strange that I got what I asked for, namely the loss of the channel? But I
also realized what convincing evidence it was that I had really something big
dealing with. And now I lost it and I heard nothing, absolutely nothing. I even
tried to have a conversation with myself in my head, but it was one direction.
Whatever I said, I heard nothing.
The next morning I was pretty upset. And said to God,
and just now, dealing with so many difficulties and worries around me, it all
comes out badly. And then I heard God again, as usual. So it all took 12 hours.
And I said, is it really You? And God spoke to me again and reassured me and
explained to me that this was what I wanted and needed. And it happened in
spite of the difficult period in which I was or precisely just because of the
difficulties around me to realize maximum impact.
And I started crying so terribly and out of relief,
out of emotion, out of joy, out of gratitude and out of shame for my
recklessness, my carelessness, while once again I knew that I really didn't
make everything up.
And the good God said to me:
My son, you will now take everything with more respect and do know it
was not a punishment. I have helped you overcome your doubts, I have given you
a better perspective on what you are doing. And know that your attitude during this
12-hour "radio silence" was one full of peace and confidence,
accepting everything in openness. But this helped you with a better picture of
the situation, be assured of My love. Trust and continue with confidence.
You are very blessed.
My blessings to you all
