Have you ever had an unquestionable experience with God answering you?

I can recall 3 moments in my life that I can undeniably say God was there. Most of the time I question myself and doubt whether things happening was God intervening or my brain trying to make connections. Anyone have any advice in help discerning when God is talking to you or acting in the world and when things are just kinda happening?
 
Why would God do that?

No faith required?

He gets more unity with us when we use our intellect to the fullest extent…and our faith. He gets more of us with Him so to speak.

We need to rethink why we ask for “unquestionable”.

Something in us is lacking when we ask for that.
 
At a low point in my life I questioned whether Jesus was actually hearing me, He answered me loud and clear with a yes … don’t want to go into details, but one thing I will never do again is ask whether Jesus actually hears me.
 
At the time I mightn’t see it clearly ,but looking back at timing and events yes.
 
If I felt this way L4w I would try and find a priest I could easy relate to and have a quiet talk.I know for myself when life is easy I can tend to forget to talk to Jesus as much as when life has troubles and I lean on Him and feel closeness .I have to keep on working at thanking Jesus and talking to Him as my best friend all the time, not just when I need extra help when it’s rough going.
God bless
 
Most definitely YES. God has given me many signs, and everyday, I thank and praise Him for being gracious to me. I just knew these signs came from Him because of the perfect timing, and the way they answered my questions very SPOT ON. Every sign just hit me like, wooh?! I always felt a little shocked and shaken by it. And immediately after, I felt a very strong urge to praise and thank God for His abiding love. Our God is the GREATEST!

Do you honestly think anything in the world happens without God being involved in some way? He doesn’t go on smoke breaks and tell the archangels to just keep an eye on stuff till he clocks back in.
 
I think these people either have “found” after seeking so long, or already had the Faith.
 
But does that mean it’s all imagined or that God doesn’t exist?
 
No, not at all. Why would it?

God rewards their effort (though in truth all good is of Him).

These are (presumably) true experiences (I dount they have all been reviewed by the Church). Some can be so real it is just like reality. Why are people so much more weary, begging anything from halucinations to drugs, etc. when it comes to the spiritual reality over the physical, even when it makes no sense (ie hallucinations fairly rarely affect more than a single sense,the person has no history of hallucination or mental illness, etc).

I think it is because it may be an issue in the will.
 
All of Creation is a testimony that God is. So it’s just not kind of happening. When you witness that God is, tell someone…so on Judgement day, the Son of man, Jesus, will also acknowledge you before the angels.

Luke 12
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.

8 “And I tell you, every one who acknowledges me before men, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God;
 
Yes, when my mother was sick. At daily mass (yes I’m Byzantine but I attended a Latin parish near my office) I had received an unmistakeable grace. All of a sudden the weight that had been on more for months was lifted, and I felt a sense of comfort and peace I never felt before (or since). I not only felt it mentally, but I felt it physically come over me. It’s hard to explain.

One day, when JPII was ill and about to pass away. I went in over lunch to pray for him. I often went to lunchtime Mass, and I always sat in the same little pew. And so I went to the same little place I had sat over a hundred times before and prayed-- for JPII, for the Church, for his successor, for the Cardinals, for the Conclave, for everything. But mostly for him and the Church, because as the second-longest-reigning Pope, we had all gotten pretty used to having him around, right?

So, while I knelt there on my kneeler, I happened to look down at my hands. And, perfectly reflected in the flat surface of my engagement ring, was a stained glass window over the sacristy door that I had never paid attention to. It was a chalice with the eucharist over it. And basically, the message I got for my prayer was, “Popes may come and go with their time, but Jesus is always present in the Eucharist, and the Church is the Body of Christ, and it won’t be abandoned.”

Which was a pretty cool message to get. There was a whole lot of thought packed into that one little piece of imagery…
