I have felt the power of God rain down on me so hard that I had to bow one time, I had no choice but to do so-- it was so powerful. When the Holy Spirit comes around there is a slightly different feeling in the air and best of all is when Jesus visits me, His presence is a total peace and a healing power that ministers to all of my past hurts in a way that only Jesus could do. When God meets me in my secret place my life is never the same again. It is very real and I wish everyone here could feel God right now.

I used to feel Him so strongly when I was a new Christian. I don't know why His presence is so much more vague now. I wish it would return to the way it was before. In the beginning, when I would witness, waves of electricity would flow from my finger tips up my arms.I knew it was the Holy Spirit. It is a very faith affirming experience. I guess it's like witnessing God part the Red Sea, it should be enough for you to remember for a lifetime.(It's amazing how the Israelites turned right around and built an idol, after all they had seen. Seems their memories weren't very good.)

Christmas 2003
I sat watching a movie and at a particular point which was very loving I was lifted in Loving thought up and up beyond the Worlds idea of Love
I was then directed to look "this happens in thought and not with eyes" and as I did so became one with every thing
No form
Pefect equality
Love beyond description
God spoke to me
We are all one
There is only Love
Was this real ?
O yes - because you remember who you are
Does this apply to everyone
YES
We cannot be complete without ALL
Can Love heal the World
When you experience God you know it would be impossible that it cannot be healed
After all God IS Love
A year AFTER this experience I was given a book called ACIM and in it was described my exact experience - to the letter
God is real - In fact only God is real

The day I got saved I heard a supernatural voice telling me I needed to be saved, of course it was the Holy Spirit, I have heard that voice a few times over the years and I have felt the goose bump effect in church on a number of occasions, I think that is just God letting you know he is there. After taking the Pastor fishing I felt a really strong supernatural force around me for hours when we got back, that man obviously was so close to God that is Spirit fell on me. It was powerfull and I just felt so at peace, and I know that someday I will get to have 1000 times more of a powerful feeling than that when I cross that river.

I don't think I have ever felt that God was in the same room as me, at that same time...but I have been in a few places (the temples) where the Savior has personally appeared and I feel like that is really wonderful - to be standing in the same places where the Lord has also been.
I kind of feel like too, that we can all get pretty close to feeling the Savior near when we feel the spirit.

I call those goosebumps "God Hugs"! When I pray outside or sit in nature praying is when I feel the most hugs. Also, when something, anything happens that you just know had to be God leading you.

I have felt the presence of my Gods with me at many times in my life..... Some of those times were when I was not expecting to feel anything "Spiritual"

Every time I kneel down and open my heart in devotion and prayer I experience the presence of God.

Yes. Every year my youth group goes on a mission trip. Every year there was one day were they focused on you getting closer to God and every time you could tell that there was something happening around you and in you. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget.

Yes..this is the first step in getting closer to Him to the "Know" (JN:17-the prayer of Jesus...but i pray also for those who shall believe.."us") study this out prayerfully to really get a grasp on it, it's real...You will get more than just "goose bumps" ..........lol.bye!.
