Thankfully, Holy Spirit is well able to make Himself heard even by the stone deaf. But it seems to work a lot better, more gracefully and easier with less stress etc.

"No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light." [2 Corinthians 11:14]

Watch out for feel-good self-delusions.

[Quix]

I'm tired and sick and starting to feel real irritated with the attitude thrown at me.

I don't think there's anything useful I can articulate to that perspective . . . one has to be there, experience such. No amount of words will be convincing.

Thankfully, I've been there many times over in my own life and the lives of many others.

No amount of argument or words or intellect or whatever such will ever trump the wealth of experience God has seen fit to train me through.

Interesting quote Kosta.

Back to the original topic, wouldn't this be a clear admonition to not fall down and pray to apparitions, or build doctrines around a dead human having supernatural powers?

FWIW, I think we forget that there is a spiritual war going on all around us.
