Part 2 Continued From Part 1
I will never forget the words that it said.
"YOU ARE NOT TO DO THIS, THIS IS WRONG, I HAVE A PURPOSE FOR YOU, YOU ARE NOT TO DO THIS, THIS IS WRONG!"
As soon as the words finished, I woke up, and to my amazement felt fine. Then I sat up and about 5ml of liquid came out of my mouth and landed on the leaves on the ground.
I thought I was hallucinating and would soon die, because the liquid was like paint, in separate colours red, yellow, blue, green etc. like a rainbow, I was really puzzled by this.
Somehow now, I didn't want to die.
I thought about the voice and wondered in my mind - Was that GOD?
I went home to my empty house, Mum was at work, I went home expecting to die any moment. A couple of hours passed, nothing happened to me.
Mum came home and asked how I was and why had I not been at school.
I told her that I had the cold.
I never had any medical treatment and never suffered any side effects.
My life continued, I did not become a Christian or a better person, I was still miserable.
Some years later I met a girl that I liked a lot called Alison, she was going out with my best friend, but they seemed to breaking up.
One night walking home after a party (I was about 19-20) I said to God (Not Jesus, I did not believe in Him because I had tried asking Him to save me and nothing happened so I knew He didn't exist). "I want Alison!"
I immediately heard a voice in my head which said - "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR, YOU MIGHT JUST GET IT."
I was stunned to hear this - so I though about whether I wanted to go out with her or not? - I decided I did, and I said to God - "I still want her."
Within 1 week, I was sitting at home watching MTV - Dream Lover by Mariah Carey - I think, I said to myself, if I don't get to go out with Alison, I will kill myself.
I had dismissed the experience of the voice as due to the drugs I had taken, on my first suicide attempt. Although I couldn't explain to myself why I had not died or even been ill.
That Night to keep a long story short - I did get Alison as my girlfriend.
We went out for years - I loved her and we bought a house together - I idolized her, she was all I wanted in a girl.
I got an easy Job and a nice house, I wasn't rich, but I didn't want to be. I had got all the things I had wanted - someone to love me and a nice life.
We had a lot of friends in the street who were our age and we would have parties in our houses - lots of fun - drinking, watching TV, eating out.
It was at this time when, I had got everything I thought I ever wanted, that I started to consider life.
I still felt unfulfilled even though I had all that I wanted.
I said to myself, there must be more to life than this...
I began to look at the fields and lake that I lived beside, and I thought there must be a higher power that made these things, I always loved biology and science at school, and desired to be a vet or a scientist. But when I considered the evolution theory, it seemed to me to be so ridiculous that random chance would produce great order and structure, and anyway I thought what banged in the supposed big bang, I dismissed it as foolishness in my mind.
So that left me thinking, who or what made the world.
It was the 1st of January in the year 2000; I had been at a new year's party the night before, drunk etc.
I woke up and a revelation just hit me - very clearly a crystal clear thought "GOD IS REAL". I was 24 years old at the time.
I was so shocked by this that I think I mentioned it to Alison, she said maybe we should go to Church, I dismissed that idea. I knew that the Christians didn't know God, they were all wimps who couldn't get any miracles or do anything, and I had tried it and it did not work!
I started to think about what God must be like, I decided, after thinking through suffering and various other things that happen in the world that God must be one of two types of God.
