Think of it as insurance policies from tens of thousands of different insurance companies, some of which claim to be the ultimate cause of the disaster supposedly to come(like yours). The trouble is that _none_ of these companies can be shown to have ever paid off, and quite a few of them(again, like yours) act more like protection rackets.

The Father and I have this relationship were He occasionally pops up things on the computer for me. I know that it is Him because the first time He had done this was with the youtube video by Amy Grant called My Father’s Eyes. And no matter how I would try to click to another screen, He would simply pop it up again. When I first started sharing this story, Father God popped up this Christian song, [Mighty to Save](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB-yX5p0p4l)

So then, are you unwilling to show this thread to an ordained priest and faithfully report back what the say? I’d like to know why God appeared to you as a nine-year-old, and more importantly why the Holy Spirit moved in you to share with us here. There’s a lesson for all of us, and perhaps it is an ordained priest who could cipher this out.

> Study scripture and get to know them better. Actually, It is not as difficult as some would lead you to believe. Demonic voices sound like something out of a horror movie. And God’s voice sounds of greatness beyond this world. As I said earlier, power wisps around His words as He speaks. Demons make errors concerning the bible. And God and the angels do not.

I think you misunderstood my question. I wasn’t asking how to distinguish between angels and demons, as I’ve experienced neither.

I was asking how to distinguish between someone who claims to have heard angels and someone who has actually heard angels.

There are plenty of people of other religions who claim to have had angelic visions. Why should I believe you, but not them?

Instead of saving starving children, you think your god is spending time spamming _you_ with Christian videos? This thread isn’t really about your god, is it?

I am absolutely positive it is Him. If you want an empirical relationship with God, you need to see when He is reaching out to you.

Bit of a problem with restoring amputated limbs too.

That in no way answers my question. I don’t know what question you _think_ it answers, but it’s utterly irrelevant to the question you replied to.

**Chariots of God**

The chariots of God are the living works of the Holy Spirit.

[Artist rendition of Ezekiel’s Vision of God (based on scripture).](http://i.imgur.com/4vFzs8Q.jpg)

What you are looking at above appearing before Ezekiel, a beloved prophet of the Holy Bible, is Father God on His throne, Cherubim angels (living creatures), and what Ezekiel describes as “a wheel in the middle of a wheel” - this is an orbital description of a great living chariot of God.

Excerpt from Ezekiel’s Vision of God -

Ezekiel 1:15-21. Now as I look at the living creatures, behold, a wheel _was_ on the earth beside each living creature with it’s four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their workings _was_ like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings _was_, as it were, a wheel in the middle in a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. As for the rims, they were so high they were awesome, and their rims _were_ full of eyes, all around the four of them. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, _because_ there the spirit went, and the wheels were lifted together with them, For the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When those went, _these_ went, when those stood, _these_ stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures _was_ in the wheels.

[Photograph of a spirit in one of the many small chariots of God.](http://i.imgur.com/S3KUld1.jpg)

Ezekiel 1:21. “for the spirit of the living creatures _was_ in the wheels.”

…“for the spirit of the living creature _is_ in the **orb**.”

Ezekiel 1:19. “and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels was lifted up.”

…“and when the living creature was lifted up from the earth, the **orb** was lifted up.”  
Here is a youtube video of a spirit flying in one of the many small chariots(orbs).

[Paranormal Exposure, Hard Evidence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-k9PHX4MR4)

Both good and evil spirits travel in these chariots(orbs).

Psalm 68:17. The chariots of God are twenty thousands, _Even_ thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy _Place._

The visions were intended for me. Although an ordained priest at one time might have helped, I believe that no can can decipher visions better than the person receiving it. After all, it was intended for them.

Sometimes, one most read between the lines. It is a real life experience showing Jesus as the Son of God and the one true Messiah. It also supports the Roman Catholic Church and the Christian faith.

Certainly, and I’m asking the meaning of your vision. God told you something very important and if it’s important to God, then it’s important to me.
