that you have found God;

such valid proof, albeit there are
two positive and powerful demonstrations
of the fact that you are God-knowing, and they are:
1.
The fruits of the spirit of God
showing forth in your daily routine life.
2.
The fact that your entire life plan furnishes
positive proof that you have unreservedly
risked everything you are and have on
the adventure of survival after death in the pursuit
of the hope of finding the God of eternity,
whose presence you have foretasted in time
