Good grief. I'd rather have the Holy Spirit do it that way than let me screw up.
I had something along those lines happen to me. I was heading up an event at church and praying about who to invite and the Lord told me to ask mr. mm. The problem being, I didn't know him at the time. He has just started attending church, I didn't even know his last name, and it went against my personal policy of making the first move when it came to men. But God said *Ask [the future mr. mm]!*
And with that simple statement, came the full knowledge that this would be the man I was going to marry. I just KNEW. It was over a year before that happened, but God does do stuff like that.
But if God wasn't forceful about it, I wouldn't have done it.
Come to think of it, He's pretty forceful with it comes to convicting us of our sin. I don't know anybody who asked God to convict them unto repentance.

Yeah He is and I am grateful for it. My God is not a ‘hands off’ God at all.
