Spirituality, Religion and going to church? I can't say that I have ever considered myself to be a faith and church based person. Atheist? No, just not a religious church going person.

I was raised in a strict Church of God Pentecostal Church, so I can assure you I have heard the Bible being preached in a loud and detailed example on many occasions. I have been to tent prayer meetings, camp meetings and healing. I have sang in the choir, been baptised in the water and prayed at the alter. I usually attended with my grandparents, who never missed a meeting.

I have not attended church on a regular basis in a number of years. I think that is probably partially due to the fact that I was taught if you went to church and showed up as a christian then you acted like one at all times. I found this almost impossible to do. So I decided not to go at all. If nothing else I do things 100% or not at all and church was no different.

This is why what happened to me a couple of weeks ago seems so bizarre and strange for me.

I dreamed on more than one occasion over the course of those two weeks, that I was being spoken to by God. He told me that if I did not ask for help that things would continue to get worse at my job. I said okay God I can't afford for them to get worse. I already hate my job due to having a terrible overbearing boss, so I don't mind praying for help.

God would reply "Just asking is not going to be enough..you know what you have to do. So go do it! This of course made me ask again and again what he meant. I already knew in my heart was he was wanting me to do. But I could not bring myself to do what was ask of me.

Now hearing a voice in you head may not seem like a surprise for some it was an absolute shock to me when I was driving down the road and heard a mans voice say in a loud demanding voice ; Did you do what I told you to do? If not your wasting your time going to work today." Now I am in sales and run a field route and I was on my way out of town. Again the voice says You know what I am asking of you so do it and I mean NOW!

Okay God I replied I'll go do it! I will go to Church and pray for help. But there is only one church I have attended although only a couple of times. So I assume that is who I am suppose to go up to and ask for a private prayer in the middle of a Tuesday afternoon.

This does not sound like a difficult task. But keep in mind I am not a person who does this. I usually pray privately to God and we have that kind of relationship.

Well this
