@McDad

Does that answer the question?

It does. My experiences have not been so dramatic. And certainly no heavenly agents sent to pray with me, but the "feeling", "little voice", "funny feeling"...or whatever you want to call it is identical.
There is something extra and outside of my consciousness in my head or in my heart (when I react the polar opposite of my hot headed default) which is guiding me.

And, holy Spirit is God. Some seem much more filled with it than I am. I don't understand it to be honest. But that's the great thing about Ehyeh is I dont have to understand. All I need is complete faith in Him.

This for me twice in my life. Once to turn down a job for another one that I didn't have yet and once to tell me I wasn't losing GVG.

Well honestly, there is one other story that I won’t mention here, but I went against the “advice” and haven’t heard anything in approaching 15 years. I currently sit under judgement that I deserve.

But can you blame HaShem, with billions of people on the planet you can’t waste time with bone heads that don’t listen

Let me be transparent and confess I dont always listen to the whisper. And, even though I can't say anything bad happened to me because of it, I feel terrible afterwards. Like I disappointed my earthly dad.
I was alone in an elevator in Maine and a woman got on. I was told to tell her "everything will be alright, God has heard you". But I didn't. I still regret it to this day.

Adonai has proven to be forgiving and patient with his bone headed creations, my friend.

So instead of the blessing for being obedient you’ve lived with the disappointment.
She heard it from someone else instead of from you because God needed for her to hear it.

Ok first, from my perspective the “holy spirit” is simply “G-d the father” but that’s a completely different subject….

Story time.
And there are a couple.

2 separate times I’ve had a feeling come over me while driving. That feeling was simply “slow down”. It could be what you describe as the Holy Spirit because it was a weird feeling. Best I can describe it was like all the sudden I just knew I should slow down. Both times I had massive wrecks. And walked away UN injured. I’ve joke that G-d should have said “stop” and next time he says “slow down” I’m stopping.

Story number 2.

My father was in ICU. Something happened and it was clear to me he was going to die. I took a knee between the 2 ICUs and went to pray. The Red woman was with me for this. All the sudden there were 2 people standing over me and Red. They said “we’ve been sent to pray over you by the lord your G-d if we may” I said absolutely. They started praying….loud….heres the thing, I wasn’t listening to a word they said. I was looking down the hall at my mother and friends and family wondering why nobody was looking at us.
They finished praying and said “peace be with you” I looked at Red as I stood up then looked at them to thank them and they were gone. I didn’t have time to worry about it as visiting time was running out and I wanted to see dad one more time. When I got back to dad he had this goofy smile on his face. Numbers were still bad but he was smiling. That’s when G-d smacked me. The one time I’ve heard from the almighty. And it was that same knowing but it was like knowing how to breathe. I just knew Jaybird was going to live. I told Errbody and absolutely no one believed me. His O sat was 79 at that moment and he lost consciousness for 10 weeks but he did live …..for another 20years. Every Dr said his survival wasn’t possible and he was a miracle.

The point….. I believe that the people praying over Red and I probably delivered the message but I wasn’t listening. So I received a G-d Smack. For the record, it sounds really cool but I seriously recommend avoiding it if at all possible. I can’t explain why or the feeling but it’s not a great experience.

Your dad went by the nickname Jaybird?

Be honest.
How many of yall can take down a wall and piece wood flooring and make it look like the wall was never there.

Other than I still get to refinish the floor because it’s 3 different colors now. View attachment 636168

I’ve done the wall. 👍🏼
I didn’t match the floor perfectly. Nobody ever mentioned it, but I could tell.
The ceiling worked out fine. Got lucky using a stippling brush for the first time.

My First Crushes were the F4U Corsair and F-4 Phantom as those were among my earliest model kits. But I had a number of diecast f104's matchbox sold a bunch of those in the 70s.

My first was everything from WW2. P40, F6F, F4U, P51, P38 and the Jug. Foreign favorites were the Spitfire and the Stuka. I found a Great Planes Giant Corsair on ebay a few years ago and bought that. Terribly expensive. Loved the F4 but didn't ever pick up on the Korea and early Nam fighters. Only one that I could pick out would be a Thud.

My father was a very interesting man.
He was known by several nicknames
The one I used in polite company was “Jaybird”
I mostly called him “A.D” which was a loose translation that meant ageded decrepit. It’s a Jewish joke that means you’ve been around so long that even though you’re falling apart, you know everything. And a lot of people called him “Jumping lizard “. Which he claimed was a name that proved his wisdom. When a lizard sits on a rock and the rock gets hot, the lizard is wise enough to jump off.

Hope that helps.
