Yes when I was younger. I was in bible class and we were discussing things that wasn't to do with religion and this number from Psalms came to me and I opened the bible and part of the verse said" Do not turn away from me" I think God was telling me to get back to his work

Yes, I believe that I have had revelations from God.
but at the same time, I think that people are too quick to fob things off on God when it is only hindsight that can surely validate to us whether something was well intentioned and divine or not.
we have faith. we do not have absolute knowledge, we have belief
and whereas I feel free to believe and thank God for everything that he has given me, I do not feel free to credit him with a thing that at the time I thought was good but in time might prove to be disastrous.
we need to be discerning, and faithful not adamant know-it-alls.
my revelations have mostly been about the people I care about. Everything I have prayed or asked for has come to me and I thank God for that because there are many negative things in this world for which but for the grace of God would inflict us.

Yes. Not a vision or anything like that. More a change in perspective. For instance, about 1997 I was working in Leeds when I suddenly became aware that all my "trying to be a Christian" was pointless self effort. The Holy Spirit, however, had been changing me all that time. I ralised I had to let Him do the work and rely on Him for everything. I also realised tht I had to live according to The Sermon on the Mount.

Yea, lots - God will reveal himself to you if you seek Him.
One of the times was when I was a child and long before I became a Christian. I was watching a programme called Survivors - about life after a terrible plague had wiped most of the worlds population out.
One week it featured a tramp who came into the camp - and he was really sick. Lots of the folk didn't want to tend to him as food and mediciene rations were low but one man said, "Never call worthless one (person) whom Christ has died for." It really struck me that everyone is precious - even the down and outs (or these days drug addicts, prostitutes etc.), and I have never forgotten it.

Yes many times, but in order to recieve any kind of revelation from God you must first be looking for one and listening.
If you are not walking in His will He will not reveal Himself to you in any way.

Yes, many. I pray constantly. God constantly speaks to me about His people and His compassion and love for them. His love for the lost and how I'm supposed to show this same love. In humility and honesty sharing His word as He sees fit and not what I would always think. His ways are not our ways. It is an interesting lesson to learn. God is not bound by our reservations, hatreds, insecurities. God sees us and loves us, even those who hate him. This probably won't make sense to some, but there was this book I read.....The Way We Never Were by Stephanie Coontz....not a Christian book. When I was reading this book, God spoke to me about what it really means to be not apart of this world and it was like I could see things clearly for the very first time. I felt like a cloud was lifted from my eyes concerning politics and all the things we get so wrapped up in when what's important to God is the lost. Not throwing our Bible's at them but loving them as God loved us.

Many things...... but the one that I felt the the most, and knew surely it was God.
About eight years ago, on a job site, during a meeting of about fifty employees, and my Boss. My Boss was very disgusted with us, we didn't read our blue prints on the assembly line, we all basically cost him some money. I had compassion in my heart for him, and I raised my hand, and said that I am one of them, So much happen in that moment of truth, everyone was looking at me, and I read their minds or their expressions on their faces, they were thinking, your crazy, your nuts, your going to be fired, also in that moment........ I felt God intervene, I felt his presence floating above me, to my left, and felt his Holy Spirit in and around me, it was a happy and warm feeling, and I felt God say to me in my head,"I am happy with you". After the meeting, my Boss came over to me and shook my hand, he was happy too, and said, "it took a lot of courage for you to do that, especially no one else standing by your side". But what they all didn't know was, God stood by my side:)

Yes many times....ususally about scripture or an awareness about my actions.
Definitely had a huge revelation when I first got born again....I understood He is real, and the Bible is true.

Yes.
But Bob hasn't which is why he's so angry......so forgive him - he doesn't mean to be that way.
Details? I'm writing a book about it called "Deathmatch". I'm not quite sure I understand what happened yet or if it's still happening.
When? impossible to explain....sorry.
How? It's a long story which is why it's going in a book.
