[ Everyone, or so it seems, boasts of some divinity working inside of them. I feel that sometimes, but I have no clue what it is. I feel that somehow I am gently ushered back into repentance and self-denial, but like a person in a dream I "know" who I am thinking of but really don't have a label or a picture that comes with it. ]

Very honest post.. thanks..
I see somewhat you're situation.. probably..
Keep in mind that not all have your experience..

Some do have a relationship with the Holy Spirit..
What you said reminds me of my own experience in the past..

WIll share this with you...
I got all upset with the Holy Spirit one time..
Really upset.. and challenged him to get real with me..

Well nothing happened for the longest time but I was serious..
Eventually I heard (from within me)
"I will be as real with YOU as YOU are with ME"..
Thats all.. just that.. but I did hear/understand that..
Along with this "message" came remembrance of some times where I was not being real with my prayers.. Embarassing..

The bottom line is since then as "REAL" as I am with the Holy Spirit(answerer of prayer) the Holy Spirit is real with me.. ALWAYS.. Haven't "seen him" probably would scare me spitless probably.. BUT my prayers ARE answered, ALWAYS..

Needless to say I am careful with what I pray..
maybe that message was just to me for me..

But HECK an old heart to heart with the Holy Spirit couldn't hurt you a bit...
He is a pretty cool guy..
Know what I mean.. that is if you are serious.. d;-)~'.'.'

Hospipe, it is not mine to challenge or question what you or everyone believes. I see all sorts of people calling on God as their driver and yet they are all driving in different directions.

Not only do you have Muslims and Jews who claims the same God of Abraham, but among Christians you have various sects and cults that are complete strangers to each other.

If I believe you (and I have to, lest I judge and presume), then I must believe Mohammad's story as well.

It seems to me that either God is leading people in different directions or that different people, with diffreent agendas, are making God in their heads.
