Shouldn't we outgrow childish fears of being laughed at, and talk about our own personal experiences?

Question

Everyone has experienced something that was out of the "ordinary"?

Answer 1

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 2

The older you get the easier it is to talk about this. But a special experience is special and personal. Instead of broadcasting it, it should be shared appropriately with the right people. It's like the rules of self-disclosure--too much too soon is uncomfortable for the listener and will result in a communication breakdown. The same information divulged later in a trusting relationship brings people together, which is one purpose of special experiences.

Answer 3

This didnt happen to me but to a trucker that i once served coffee to at dunkin donuts.

He was driving along the highway and there was a box laying in his lane on the side of the road. "Normally" he said "i would've payed no attention to a box and hit it as it was just sticking out into my lane. But as i approached the box i got the sudden urge to swerve out of the way and miss it. Luckily there was no one in the lane next to me" he continued " because i dont think i could have stopped myself from hitting them if there was. I stopped as soon as i pulled off the road as i was scared for losing control of my bodt like that. I went to investigate the box and found a abandoned baby inside" after taking it to the cops he came in for the coffee and even though it didnt happen to me just by the way he told the story and the dumbfounded way he seemed not even there that was by far the most "out of the ordinary" thing that has ever occured in my life.

Answer 4

I will dream about meeting someone or going somewhere for the first time,and a year later it sometimes happens.
When I was in middle school I would dream about the people I would see in high school. My dreams keep coming true.

Answer 5

I've been filled with the Holy Spirit, seen miracles, had miracles done in my life, seen demon possessed people being delivered...and a whole lot more. God's done a lot in my life and I'm not afraid to say it!

Answer 6

Fear and moderation is part of the human experience. These failures and challenges are a part of our total wholeness.

Outgrow? Or maybe accept them and progress from knowledge of them.
