I have a few times. Once it was so intense I took my breath away. And I wasn't even praying or thinking about God at the time, it just came over me..was FANTASTIC. Anyone else?

Yes, I have. Around New Year's last year, I shaved my head, and prayed to Jesus, and felt the spirit so strong that I had an emotional breakdown, and thought I was talking to Jesus. After a short conversation ending with my total forgiveness, i felt an overpowering sense of love and acceptance and joy, that It felt as if my soul was being pulled from my body. This caused me to feel the fear of death, and I was confused, but I believe I was reborn into the same body. But an angel was with me for about two weeks, and I was able to raise peoples conciousness and make them be at peace during this time period, like everything I said just in normal conversation had a religious undertone meaning to them, but I could hear in my head, how they interpreted my words. It was strange, and beautiful. I can now fall into the spirit when I watch movies or listen to music, and impose my interpretation of the media onto others around me. Really. The emo kids who think they are on the Devil's side because of the music put out by society, really hate it when I switch their minds around. And people who don't hear music as having the religious undertones get freaked out when they come to the realization that suddenly the music they are listening to had to do with the devil. I think it's fun to be charismatic.

Absolutely. And the amazing thing is that I know what I felt was just the tiniest amount of what He has to offer. As I meditated on that I came to the wondrous conclusion, of His ability to be who He says He is.
Intense is an excellent adjective. What a powerful, and humbling experience it has been for me. I too have had the experience more than once and I too have had my breath taken away by it.

Yes! First when I was 11 & I was terrified. Tthis 4 sentence poem my RE teacher had taught us in Primary School, I said as a prayer to this unknown to me then God.
The poem was basically the words of;
Psalm 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp to my feet and a Light for my path.
This absoloute Love & Peace flooded mu soul & warmed me on this freezing night & I had no shoes, but this place that used to hurt my feet, I never felt a thing!
A bit like that 'Footprints'.
***
And I have felt His Almighty Love many, many times in differing ways.
Like just today! Praise God!
And I would Love to pass it on to you but I can't! To all those who want to taste of His Love Go & Seek! & He will never hide from you.

Yes. Even before I was born again, or ever studied the bible. I was watching a movie in a theater. Two characters were sitting on a curb talking about something going on in their lives. All of a sudden, I felt this overwhelming love wash over me. It was incredible. I knew it was God's love for us. I believe He was wanting to show me how much He cares for the things that concern us.
Even since I have been born again, and yes, have felt His love, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, that one experience has never been equaled.

I was in an airplane when I was 20. I was scared to death. I kept praying to God to keep me and my dad safe on the flight. I was thinking about how God can hold the whole world in His hand. I can't explain it, but I actually felt like I could feel Him holding up the plane. I wasn't scared anymore (on that flight anyway), I'm still afraid of flying. But He let me feel his presence somehow that day.

It was on a job site during a meeting, I felt God's presence intervene to me in the very moment I felt compassion for my Boss, and raise my hand, in that moment of truth I said that I was one of them. God's presence was above to my left, and felt his love, and happiness in me, and all around me, and felt in my head, telepathically God say,"I am happy with you". Even my Boss was happy as he came over to shake my hand. No one else in the room knew that God was there by my side, basically a pat on the back.

Sometimes when I am on the verge of losing it(do to life's dramas) I think of him.....& my eyes fill with tears (I thank him for everything, the blessings, the love, all of it!) and it never fails to make me at ease. It feels like a long bear hug that just purges all the pain & sadness right out of me! Its a great feeling & my description of it really does it no justice. It feels so much better then I could ever express!
Thank you for reminding me, to give him thanks for all those times!♥♥

Sure, what you experienced is what Jesus promised; the Holy Spirit witnessed to you.
You can get that feeling by doing things that will really get you to Heaven. What? The next time you forgive someone who has hurt you, the Holy Spirit will witness to you that you will go to Heaven.

Yes, I have. Hold on to those gifts. There will be plenty of people who have not experienced that who will absolutely insist it wasn't real. A subjective experience is still a real experience, and no one has a right to take that from you.
