Prizm by Pax217

Prizm

Oh I got something that you all could get
In life it's been given
Called the Prizm shows its colors
And on the 17th day of the 2nd month

Come a come people let the flood gates open
Come oh people open
Precipitation formed
Colors of freedom a gift of Prizm

Red orange yellow blue green and indigo
Is the flag or freedom
Remind me of the sin to go
Away away the promise remains
The same yesterday as it is today
Fall of man and fall of rain came
Down from the heavens to cleanse you and I

The rains came down
The floods went up

Open the flood gates and let the people in
Open the flood gates let 'em in

This is where I was in the year 2000... And this was some of the softer stuff I was digging. Really into Project 86 then and as recently as two years ago.... Some things in my life have def changed but this bright and shiny happy song still brings a smile to my face.

Oh I see now. Haha. Yeah I've felt that. Feeling like He is answering prayers but in the end you can't be sure. Or thinking you hear his voice in your conscience but maybe it's just you? Unfortunately, yeah a lot of Christians don't understand their own walk much less anyone else's yet they pretend to. I hope the best for you.

If I prayed "God lead me to an empty carpark"

Is suppose to read.

If I prayed "God lead me to an empty carpark" and then it happened,

@timmynovinger

So to cope with this, I stopped believing God had answered my prayers. Instead I thought, maybe it was God, maybe it wasnt God, only God can know for certain. Remember, I was still a Christian for the next 10 years after this. At the time, I assumed I was growing in my faith, like many current Christians that view personal revelation in the same way. Looking back now (unknown at the time), this was actually a contributing factor in my De-conversion.

@timmynovinger

Sounds like you don't understand. The struggle with personal revelation wasn't why God didn't answer some of my prayers (Im sure he had his reasons). It was, when God did answer my prayers, how would I know it was God acting on those prayers, as opposed to it happening anyway. If I prayed "God lead me to an empty carpark" Im sure you and most sane Christians would agree that it wasnt really God, even If I asked for it. I would feel guilty if I believed God answered my prayers....

@truckcompany (part 2). . . when God thinks we're ready for it. The reward will be so much greater. It's like wine. The sweeter it will be the longer it rests and waits for the right time. I know what it's like to not just doubt personal revelation, but to not get it, but. . . Maybe I'm not ready for that. For whatever his reasons, I just need to wait and be patient. Anyway, thanks for answering. I enjoyed hearing from you.

@truckcompany

I definitely understand. Like how when you can't fall asleep at night and you're praying for God to make your body sleep and He doesn't and you ask, "why?" Or how I've never known God's will for my life concerning direction, where to go, what career to pursue, where to go to church . . . But I'll tell you that I'm 23 and I've never kissed a girl. (obviously I'm a virgin) It's hard not knowing where "the one" is for me but I have a peace, knowing she'll come into my life when

@timmynovinger

Many things, deconversion is a very complicated process and everyday I try to figure out what happened to me. I basically had a drive to test my current beliefs, if I didn't, I would feel extremely guilty for not being honest with myself. Not believing in God was the result of many things I slowly stopped believing such as Creation Science, Miracles, Bible Inerrancy, Personal Revelation etc. Up to the last days I ALWAYS thought I'd be a Christian forever, it creped up on me

@truckcompany

We've got a lot in common it seems like. Accept I decided to stay in love with Jesus. May I ask what caused you to no longer believe?

@jet79637 Nah, the newest 311 is great. Zebrahead has sucked since like 2003. Pax sounds more like POD.
