If you truely want to experience God at work in your life as I do, and feel His presence as I feel it, you can. It's up to you, but you have to experience God in His way.

BTW, we don't have millions of dollars flowing into our church. We are a small (75 member) church who are struggling to pay to have some renovations made.
Con artists first task is to con himself.

What you're saying is nothing that the practitioners of thousands of dead religions and superstition throughout time have said. The human brain is a marvelous pattern seeking machine and will contrive all manner of things out of random noise.

It's breathtaking how strong this feature is in between our ears.

But really, Abel. I have gone the path you've gone. I sought God and didn't find him out there. It wasn't until I realized that We were One that I really understood the truth of the divine. That's when I truly understood Jesus' message and I became Christ.
