Spiritual Experiences

[dev553344]

I wanted to create a thread so that people could share any spiritual experiences they have had that made them happy.

Once before I was on medication the Lord's spirit spoke to me and told me to see a doctor. I was filled with immense love and peace that lasted for hours. I then went to the doctor and was prescribed medication for my illness. That was 21 years ago.

 

[Behold]

Knowing that God is good all the time and loves us unconditionally, makes me happy to know it.
This gives us a peace that "passes all understanding".

This week a lot of spiritual stuff has been going on, and fortunately it's all shared now so I don't have to deal with it alone. Lol

First thing, I was at work last week, I went to grab a box of heavy cookies to bake from a top shelf and when I was reaching up, I felt something warning me "Your back!" Like "not right now."

So I didn't. I baked some that were lower. Then the next couple of days my back was in pain so I'm glad I didn't injure it to the point I couldn't work properly.

And then I also heard something last Friday that said, "You're going to feel lied to, betrayed, and you're going to be very happy."

Well, that definitely happened for a few different reasons, but it is being used for God's good because His Word says so and I'm seeing things evolve.

I remember a time when I was walking into town. I was hungry at the time but had no money on me. I was walking on a public footpath that had some small rocks on each side of the path. As a passed a certain area, I stared at a rock and the Holy Spirit prompted me to lift it up. I was just going to keep walking by but that prompting was strong so lifted one of the rocks and found money under it. Enough to go buy me some food. I will always remember that. Made me happy. Thank you Jesus!

Another time, I was walking into town to get some groceries when I realised that I didn't have enough to buy certain things so I prayed that the Lord provide the amount I needed. At the same moment, a car drove by and somehow [not sure if it came from the car or not] a $20.00 note was caught in the updraught of the speeding car and slapped me in the face...Lol! that was real funny! Thank you Jesus!

Sometimes when I'm charitable I find money just laying on the street. So far I've found $10.00. A $5.00 bill once and about 5 $1.00 bills. It's kinda fun finding money

It was the other day. And I was told by God that he could make things happen so that I wouldn't notice. Like working with my thoughts and heart. So the other day I decided to go to the store. And it was at a time that I normally don't go because it's too crowded. But I went and found a $1.00. And that was not too long ago. Then I went recently and when I came home found one next to my house.

When I work on physics he puts me into this spirit for imaging new ideas. It's truly amazing and I've come up with some pretty good stuff I think.

Anyways I figured out that he can cause us to be at the right place at the right time, and sometimes that means avoiding tragedy. I've had several near death experiences and am still alive to tell the tales.

 

[dev553344]

Which reminds me. One time I was driving and a car swerved into my lane to hit my car on the freeway. We were driving maybe 60 mph. It would have been tragic. But the spirit of God came over me and time slowed. I had lots of time to think clearly and swerve out of the way. It was like time was slowed in half.

I love this thread. I've just read the posts and it great to read how the Lord is providing. It's a bit late now to share but I will tomorrow.

When the time slowed for me I also felt this deep peace. Like I wasn't in need of fear.

A similar thing happened to me but different one time. And I think I've told this story before but here it goes. My friends and I were sledding in the snow and they brought me up above a 100 foot cliff area to sled. We were doing fine and such and staying away from the cliff. But then the sled that was my friends got away from me and was heading for the cliff. My friend yelled for me to catch it as it was wooden and expensive. So I sprinted towards it and the cliff. I grabbed hold of it and went to stop. My feet slipped out from under me and I slid towards the cliff. I realized that I couldn't slow down and was going over. I believed I was going to die, and the Holy Spirit came over me and I just felt this deep peace. I didn't feel any fear and fell over the cliff. As I fell I realized that I only fell a foot or two. There were sticker bushes growing out of the cliff face that caught me. My friends came to the cliff edge and yelled for me. I yelled back and they took the sled that was dangling in the cliff edge above me in the bushes and pulled me back up.

Glory to God! We seem to have had some similar experiences. Not sure whether I told you this one but I will attempt to find it somewhere on this forum

Oh wow, it's amazing how many of us have had experiences where we could have died without God's intervention.

One day I was riding pillion behind my husband on our motor cycle when our route took us up a side turning from a busy main road. Now right from the outset this side road had a very pronounced bend which meant that the view of oncoming traffic was severely restricted.

My husband was an experienced rider and took the turn perfectly; we both leaned into the bend in unison and there was nothing wrong with the bike. Anyway just as we got to the perfect position on the road in which to take the bend my husband shouted that the steering had locked and he had no option but to steer the motorcycle into the kerb.

At the exact time that we made that swerve, a car coming from the opposite direction came round the bend on our side of the road at high speed, right at the point where we would have been on the road if the bike hadn’t swerved off line.

My husband pulled the bike oh so gently into the kerbside, initially thinking we had lost power but immediately finding that this was not the case and without even getting off we continued on our way.

He still talks of the day that an angel took over the steering to save us from what looked like certain death from where were standing. Praise God. I believe in angels.

And there have been other spiritual happenings too like when i found our keys on a campsite covered in leaves. And like the time I found my friend's keys in the park when she didn't even know where she had lost them.

There was also the time when our phone stopped working and we had tried everything to get it working again. We were set to go out a buy a new one but after I prayed about it, I suddenly knew what was wrong and fixed it.

Our God is so good he cares about the small things in our lives as well as the big ones.

Another time I was coming home from work on a cold wet evening. The bus was crowded but I knew Jesus was there with me. In my mind i began to wonder where he was; was he sitting next to me or standing before me and then i started to tingle from head to toe and I just knew that he was telling me he was within me. Anybody who saw my huge grin must have wondered what I was smiling about.

One evening as I was reading and I felt God’s presence in the room with me. It was so strong I had to look up to where I felt he was sitting on the other sofa. He spoke into my spirit and said he wanted to have his slippers in my hall – a sign that he lived here as part of the household.

Another time, late at night I was sitting on my sofa and praying and seemed to have almost an out of body experience as in my mind i soared above our neighbourhood and our town all the while praying for those specific areas. I've never known anything like it since.

Another time was when I was dropped off alone in the city of York which I was totally unfamiliar with and asked God to strengthen me and immediately felt my backbone straighten and confidence flood into me in a supernatural way.

I just thought of another time something out of the ordinary happened.

It was my day off work and I had decided to sit and read, but as soon as I sat down I felt a strong urge to go into town on the bus. And then I was told I was to 'give money to the children'. I got ready and went to the bus stop where there was a lady I'd never met before waiting and we got chatting. She said her bag was heavy because she was taking her collecting box to the church. So I put all the remaining cash in my purse into her box - it wasn't much but every little helps. Then I asked her what charity it was for and was amazed when she named some children's charity.

One time I was preaching for our church to a lady with my wife and the missionaries. And I said "God can do no evil and Satan can do no good" and the Holy Spirit filled me with peace and love that lasted for hours confirming that statement. I later realized that the KJV was incorrect in it's interpretation that "God repented of the evil he thought to do" in Exodus 32:14.

The peace of God can't be explained in words to somebody who has never been privileged to feel it.

Before I started going to church I got pink eye really bad and my eyes sealed shut. Crusted over I got a healing blessing from the elders of the church. Afterward I knelt down to pray and was at my end as I didn't have medical insurance and no way else to get help. A vision of a lion with dark black eyes appeared and I began to cry and my eyes opened and the pink eye was healed.

Sure it can it is a deep absence of all emotional and mental and physical and spiritual pain and turmoil. It is heavenly and feels holy and clean.

A few years ago as was sitting quietly reading my bible I was struck by a passage and prayed that God would help me to speak out. After a few minutes of sitting quietly I heard in my spirit, 'At the appointrf time my daughter, I will unlock the power of speech within you.' I was staggered. And even more staggered when a few weeks later a visiting preacher from Johannesburg laid hands on me a said exactly the same thing, causing me to go week at the knees it was so powerful.

I don't know if it has happened yet or not.
