God, who is He to you?

So far, the identity of GOD and his power has not been changed since He was introduced to me when I was a kid. I still believe in one GOD whoever He is. I cannot count the times that I have proven to myself that there is GOD, which is why I always praised his name. However, it is the religion and the people handling it is what I am against. There are tons of versions of the bible, in which it will drive you crazy if you search which one is the truth. Unfortunately, there are also religions that I think people are using it to make money and maintain their power. Actually, I think that it is the religion that separates us all. Although religious leaders say that they respect each other, I feel that they are not sincere with their words.

I learned about him from my parents bringing us to church and raising us in a christian home...I personally have never questioned him or the teachings...so can't say any of it has ever been proven false to me. I don't think I have actually had a spiritual awakening....He has been ever present in my life...my shining light.....my hope in any situation....

How did I learn about him? Likely, my mother singing to me about him when I was an infant, and going to church, listening to my dad speak about him, and through my whole growing up, he was always there.... Know what I mean? How do I perceive him? He is, complicated :) To say the least, there are many many facets to him, and he seems to start by showing you facets you can be comfortable with, like with me, he started with a teasing side, If I miss worded something, sometimes he would tease me, but that never happened at a bad time, I was never upset by it, it was always friendly, and in a kind way, He is and was my friend, always. When I would cry in my bed late at night, he would be there, and help me to feel better, When I am angry, he generally trys to get me to "open a door to him" sometimes by prayer, sometimes by singing a song, different stuff, just so that he can get in, and show me what I did wrong, or How I can fix the situation, stuff like that, My anger subsides much sooner because of him. Well technically I'm only 16, so I don't think I qualify as an adult yet, And the answer would be broken and strengthened, Lol, I believe in him, I believe he is a real being that can and usually does if we let him, speak to us, and that he cares very deeply for us, But there are several beliefs I held when I was a smaller child, that he has had to systematically rip out of me, and replace, a lot of which has been happening in the past year, it hurts, but it feels better when he is done, and I make less of a fool of myself in the long run. Basically, little by little, as am able to accept it, and in his timing, he is correcting me. and little by little, as I am ready for it, and in his timing, he is revealing more of himself to me, of who he is. My spiritual awakening, that ones difficult, I suppose it would really depend on what you meant by that, even though I count myself as having been a christain for 6 years, I think my spirit has been permitted to really flourish in the past few months, really starting in DEC and JAN... I have a hard time saying this, because I don't think members of my own church would believe me when I say this, But I think the main reason, I think, that my spirit has recently become stronger that is, is because I had opened doors without realizing it to demons when I was younger, and in DEC and JAN I finally realized it, and with Gods help, expelled them, after that My spirit has been growing stronger, even to receiving the baptism of the holy spirit, which I had been scared to accept or even want, (It's not something that man gives, its something that God gives, it... is nearly indescribable, It is like a well of perfect peace flowing in your spirit, inside of you, you can feel it, there is nothing I've felt since, that is anything like it, the peace and joy in are... they need to be felt to be understood me thinks?) anyway, yeah, I hope that was understandable :) Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

for me he is my friend and my redeemer. he's always there for me even though i cannot see him but i can feel him through my heart. there's one incident in my life wherein i never thought that i could overcome. but it's true that whenever you need help spiritually and emotionally he'll be there for you as long as you believe and trust him with all your heart.

He is my true friend! My one and only true friend! He will not leave me! He is always there beside me. My confidant.
