How do I honestly know if I know God? I believe in him, I know he's really there but Im scard I dont know him like I should. When Im in trouble I ask him for help I pray to him every night but how do i know for sure? sometimes I feel like he's talking to me when Im wondering if I should do something (Like buying a house) & I hear an answer but is it God or is it me thinking?

When one is born again they are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
So, this question of "Is it me, God or the devil" is a question many have asked.
One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is discernment. And as a Christian you need the gift of discernment today. To discern the voice of God. Also, Kim Clement has books on this. He is specially gifted prophetically & very powerfully. And He has learned much in the years in the prophetic. So read his book. http://www.kimclement.com .
Also, the Holy Spirit confirms in your spiritman you are a child of God. Also, start thanking God in your prayers. Thank God for giving you assurance regarding your questions of what the truth is. God is love. Love rejoices in the truth.

My thoughts are when you pray you are talking to God. When you meditate, you are giving him the opportunity to talk to you..( I am a big advocate of meditation) When God speaks to someone, it is not going to be in a big booming voice like you see on the Simpsons; it can be in a # of subtle ways. It could be a solution to a problem you have been having, it could be someone showing you acts of kindness out of the blue or you showing someone else kindness. It could be a prompt to watch a certain TV show, read a certain book, call someone you haven't talked to in awhile - the list is endless.

It's you thinking.
Invisible Sky Critters do not exist.
It's a mass delusion.
At best you're an accidental Xian in that if you'd been born in Saudi Arabia you'd have been a Muslim.
If you'd been born in Tibet you'd be a Buddhist, South America - a Catholic, India - a Hindu.
Get it? An accident of geography and nothing more.
