So this link is a testimony from Mr. Patrick Bet David. He has a unique interaction with God and it is worth hearing:

It is extremely cool hearing PBD’s testimony… Having an interaction with God like he did is entirely possible for you as well.
I loved hearing that testimony and I want to explain a parable Jesus taught to you guys as well:
Special Note: Before anyone gets upset, Jesus explained some parables to his followers as well… I want people to succeed in their Love walk/Journey of Faith and they will still have to grow the seed authentically by practicing their faith. Here is a chance for you guys to have a PBD moment (like the one in the short above) if you CHOOSE to. You have a chance to accept and believe what God is doing here.
This is JOHN 6:41-65… The parable starts at verse 53, but, read everything through and ask yourself if you know what Jesus is talking about “eating his flesh and drinking his blood.” I will tell you one interpretation after the verses.
Words to the Jews
41 Now the Jews murmured and found fault with Him because He said, “I am the Bread that came down out of heaven.” 42 They kept saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now [have the arrogance to] say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?” 43 So Jesus answered, “Stop murmuring among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him [giving him the desire to come to Me]; and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He [who was with the Father and] who is from God; He [alone] has seen the Father. 47 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who believes [in Me as Savior—whoever adheres to, trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me—already] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it]. 48 I am the Bread of Life [the Living Bread which gives and sustains life]. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the Bread that comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the Living Bread that came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior], he will live forever. And the Bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh (body).”
52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 And Jesus said to them, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood [unless you believe in Me as Savior and believe in the saving power of My blood which will be shed for you], you do not have life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] has eternal life [that is, now possesses it], and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day. 55 For My flesh is true [spiritual] food, and My blood is true [spiritual] drink. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] remains in Me, and I [in the same way remain] in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, even so the one who feeds on Me [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will also live because of Me. 58 This is the Bread which came down out of heaven. It is not like [the manna that] our fathers ate and they [eventually] died; the one who eats this Bread [believes in Me, accepts Me as Savior] will live forever.”
Words to the Disciples
59 He said these things in a synagogue while He was teaching in Capernaum.
60 When many of His disciples heard this, they said, “This is a difficult and harsh and offensive statement. Who can [be expected to] listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, aware that His disciples were complaining about it, asked them, “Does this cause you to stumble and take offense? 62 What then [will you think] if you see the Son of Man ascending to [the realm] where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life]. 64 But [still] there are some of you who do not believe and have faith.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He was saying, “This is the reason why I have told you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him [that is, unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father.”
Key to The Parable: When you were young, a kid… Did one or both of your parents WORK to feed you? What did they GIVE of themselves so that you could have what you have now? What price did they pay? What price did they pay for you? What did their JOB cost them??? My father worked 70-80 hours a week to provide for us. Gone sometimes on Christmas. He died a bit early, and on his death bed even his boss said, “It isn’t supposed to be this way.” My father worked so much that he would fall asleep driving quite often. At work or off work, he was tired because of his JOB. This was the price HE paid for US, his family. You could say at meal time I ate his flesh and drank his blood… The way his WORK provided for us at cost(s) to himself…
From The Author: I am blessed. I recognize what Jesus and God Our Father have done for me. I have already ate Jesus’s flesh and drank his blood. His Love for me I recognize. The work he did that feeds me now, the spiritual benefits humanity has reaped from his life, I recognize. I accept the Truth in gratitude… It can be tough to accept that parable if you struggle with gratitude. It can be tough if you are not sure what Jesus did for humanity. Learning about him is VERY rewarding on MANY, MANY levels. My Dad was Christian. That is a big reason why his Love was so strong for his family. Christ.
“Practice Love according to The Holy Bible’s instructions” is like saying “have faith.” Faith works by Love.
On this website (Why honorary degree is in discussion here): (Race paper) Underlying issue in African American psychology that tilts their temperament/base line towards anger instead of allowing them to start from a place of peace. (Fear of God Theory) Major utility/better(healthier)for humanity than evolution theory, and will most likely unseat evolution theory. (Drug Paper) Very helpful for addicts, undermines underlying assumptions that lead to addiction as well as offering real world advice for breaking addiction cycles and chemical effects. (Testimony Paper) Has an end to ALL “Human Shadow” psychological questions… You are talking a whole area of psychology here people: The human shadow is effectively weighed, measured, and found to be not beneficial to mankind as explained. Violence belongs to the light, Sex belongs to the light, and that is only part of the question(s) of the human shadow answered by writer (SGB). (Porn Paper) Looking through generations for misunderstandings isn’t a joke… The author of this paper clearly has that ability. We all need to pay attention to what the author is stepping in there. If athletes are given money so they can focus/situate things for their next level training when they get drafted to the big leagues… Perhaps someone should Go Fund Me here? I think it is a huge mistake not to. 50 grand buys me a year to focus by saving me 50-60 hours a week of “prime time”… C’mon guys… Elon got $28,000 from his dad to get started. Funding is a crucial element. Teachers get 2 months off a year if they are judging right now, and I can live this life on my own, but, trying to do something big here I need paid time out of the rat race.

Special Note: Did Dr. Jordan Peterson and Dr. Eric Weinstein use my observation that the American Financial Markets are subject to American Morality, and therefore not a trustworthy marker for progress? I humbly ask for you guys to consider buying me some time here… $50,000 buys my a year to work.
