Question: Am I really talking to God?

Inquiring as to whether or not the one who is speaking to me, the source of these revelations, is indeed God is a reasonable question to ask. There are numerous materials on people who are claiming to be God or messengers of God. Many of their teachings may echo some of the terminologies used that one can easily mistake that the teachings here are similar to new age or eastern faiths. They are not.

As the years went by, I came to the conclusion that I had more reasons to believe that this is God than reasons to believe this is not God. However, this did not stop me from doubting once in a while.

God summarized my doubts in one simple statement:

God confronted my issues head-on by enumerating what I was really thinking at the back of my mind.

God’s answer:

In the Chapter, The Path of Salvation, God refers to fallen angels as big bad wolves. So, this question means: Do I think that He, the One speaking to me, is the devil in disguise? To address this concern, God led me to this event in the bible (Matthew 12:22-028):

Then they brought to him (Jesus) a blind and dumb demoniac; and he cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see. All the people were astounded and said, 'Can this be the son of David?' But when the Pharisees heard this they said, 'The man drives out devils only through Beelzebul, the chief of the devils.'

Knowing what was in their minds he said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself is heading for ruin; and no town, no household divided against itself can last.

Now if Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself; so how can his kingdom last? And if it is through Beelzebul that I drive devils out, through whom do your own experts drive them out? They shall be your judges, then. But if it is through the Spirit of God that I drive out devils, then be sure that the kingdom of God has caught you unawares.

In this book, God not only explains who and what evil spirits are but more importantly provide the means by which we can protect ourselves and get rid of evil spirits. Personally, this is an area which I have truly experienced the power of God over these spirits.

Question: … but God, there are others (like backyard healers) who also drive away “evil”?

To answer, God led me to another bible story (Mark 9:38-40):

John said to him, 'Master, we saw someone who is not one of us driving out devils in your name, and because he was not one of us we tried to stop him.' But Jesus said, 'You must not stop him; no one who works a miracle in my name could soon afterwards speak evil of me. Anyone who is not against us is for us.

What God is referring to is my concern that the terms He uses are also used by other faiths, and that He may be some soul who believes to be “enlightened”, thus believing that he is god. After all, there are many who have spirit guides or follow the Buddhist “path of enlightenment” who do get transformed to becoming better people.

To answer this concern He points out the difference between this kind of spirituality and His teachings in attaining perfection:
