Marko F,\nYes. I have had at least one of those. It was before I became Christian, and I was above my body for a few seconds, I could see/sense my body a foot or two below my spiritual body. \n\nYou know, some people might come to some other conclusion, but what it did for me, after I found out what the f' it was, was that there was no longer any doubt for me that there was a spirit living in me, my spirit.\n\nSo without that major block (for some) out of the way, I could then attempt to find out what it all meant. If there was more to life than what we could normally see, how much more was out there, and was there a purpose to it all, or and order to it all?\n\nYears later I became convinced that IF the Bible was true, I could pray a prayer and recieve an acceptance from God, who would otherwise be against me. And so I tried it when I was alone, and that was a VERY eventful thing! I don't know if I was in my body or not, but I ended up in a place where things were different than the dark bedroom that I was in. And there were others there too. I think that it was heaven, and it was a large enough place, I couldn't see God, but the peace was perfect, and the others were doing whatever they set out to do (I think that it didn't have anything to do with me.) I was there to witness heaven, but I don't know why, though I certainly am thankful for it. Who wouldn't be? lol\n\nI had flying dreams too. They were more like the type of flying that is portrayed in Peter Pan. Where the trees below were at arms reach at times, and there were others with me, not that I knew them. I also don't know where we were going.\n\nBut I am so glad to have been a part of those experiences. \n\nI hope that helped you.

I have felt his presence many times, often while taking a walk suddenly feeling that I’m not walking alone. Once I actually felt his presence sitting beside me. I was very upset about a serous situation and just the sense of him sitting next to me was very comforting. The presence was brief and it wasn’t like seeing or touching someone next to you, but knowing he was there. The sense of love was so strong. I know that may not make much sense but it’s not easy to explain. I truly felt like the lost lamb that he had come to rescue and comfort.

Yes, I heard the voice of the Lord - a soft, clear voice. When I heard it, I had instant peace in my heart and a sense of security and being-loved-so-much. It is unmisteakable.

Honestly?  No.  I have had a wonderful anointing most especially when I first received the Holy Spirit.  When this happened I was of course a believer, but I was not convinced that this whole 'baptism in the Spirit' thing was for real.  I've heard all the arguments against and hadn't heard many for, so was quite skeptical.  But the Lord knows what He is doing and arranged for me to receive of Him in a unique environment.  It was a private little Bible study and the participants were people from 'colorful' backgrounds.  Some would let a bad word slip from time to time, some smoked; how could these people minister the Lord to anybody?\n\nMy pastor had scheduled a speaker to come preach on the 'Filling of the Holy Spirit' and it just so happened without my asking or knowing anything of it, that he was scheduled to speak a week and a half after I'd been at that Bible study and had been encouraged to receive the Holy Spirit.  They'd laid hands on me and began to pray in tongues as well as English and being convinced that nothing was happening I began to get very concerned that they were full of Hooey.\n\nThen the guest speaker came to our church and preached every night for most of a week and had people come forward to receive the Spirit and not the same thing happened but it was similar.  So I began to doubt my church and pastor were on the right track.  But the last night that guest speaker spoke, he said the most common sense thing I've ever heard a  preacher say, "If you're not sure if you've received the Holy Spirit, or that this isn't real, just ask God to confirm it, or deny it."  God is faithful and He will make what is good and right your desire.  And He makes what is bad and wrong undesirable, but this only happens by spending time with Him.  \n\nWell, that made so much sense, I couldn't refute it.  So, I went home and began to pray for confirmation if it was of Him, and if it wasn't to put me in a church where I could be encouraged to seek Him in the right ways.  I prayed for a couple of hours and when I was frustrated at the lack of an answer, I got up and began to study the Bible. (it had become such a habit by that time I didn't know what else to do)  But when I opened the Bible, the first verse my eyes fell on were illumined, not literally but mentally my mind was opened to understand many ways this verse applies.  As an individual, it applies to me personally in my freedom and responsibility, as a man it applies to my role in society, as a head of household it applies to my leadership roles, as a worker and so on to the leaders of nations.  The order and simplicity placed such a peace in my heart and the knowledge that this was designed by the only true God, a God who loves each and everyone of us personally...  I was speechless, yet crying for joy, and laughing at the difficulty I'd had with understanding His order.  I had my confirmation!  \n\nIt wasn't until many months later that I understood why God wanted me to receive from those smoking and cussing Christians.  He wanted me to know that if He can use them to minister to me, He can use me to minister to others, because I too am an imperfect Christian.  After all, God used a donkey in the Old Testament to talk to one of His people.\n\nBack to your question, I've seen others receive the Spirit in such a powerful way as to be laying on the floor receiving a spiritually healing work from the Lord, still others have told me of the mighty rushing wind, and one more told me of a cleansing fire, but I have not felt the 'electric shock.'

I have sensed the voice of God, but not heard an "audible voice". It has been a still, small voice that is more of an impression than anything else. And, it hasn't happened in about 20 years for me. The times I remember it happening were very good and peaceful experiences and not "weird" or anything. Nothing fell down from the sky, there were no bright lights...just a peace and the sense of being communicated with from something quite holy and beyond normal experience. It's something to keep private in one's heart, I think.

I always was told that speaking in tongues was the evidence, but it was not until I had an experience like described in the bible.  It says in the bible that fire rested on the follower's heads.  My experience was similar, but the flame rested in my heart.  After that I began to change.  I could like, see people through God's eyes, feel his love for them.  All this was with my heart.  It still amazes me how God loves people, all people.  My behavior changed.  My desires changed.  I often have states of bliss where I feel engulfed in love.  I can see why the holy spirit is referred to as the "comforter".  To me this was the baptism of the holy spirit.

At one point in my life I was really depressed. i'm talking clinical depression here, the kind you get when the chemicals in your brain get mixed up. i was a Christian at this point, but had been drifting away from God.\nanyway, i was standing by my window one day. at this point i was closer to committing suicide then i had ever been, and was contemplating the action right then. as i stood there, i suddenly felt this overwhelming prescence.\ni can't really describe what happened next, (it's too personal) but God came to me. i spent some time in prayer, just pouring out my heart. when i left my room, i felt like a completely different person. everything literally looked brighter.\n5 years later, i'm still following the Lord and couldn't be happier. i really believe that God saved my life that day, both spiritually and physically.

I went on a mission trip to Mexico recently, and while I was there we went to a Mexican church. It was AWSOME! We didn't understand everything they said, but we knew that we were worshiping the same God. It was really cool.\n\nThey did some stuff differently but when they went to praise God we could feel His presence. We knew we were with fellow Christians and it was awsome.

I was raised in a Christian home but as I grew into adulthood I began to have doubts.  I think some events in vietnam made me question a lot.  Then going to school afterward I began to explore other philosopies eventually labeling myself an agnostic.  However I always remained curious and would on occasion read the Bible as well as other philosophy books.  One night about twenty years ago I was reading the Bible and had just started a new chapter and as I read it was like I could hear the words audibly...and in an instant..I believed.  I knew it was true like never before.  I didn't hope it was true.  I didn't wish it was true.  It wasn't a matter of faith for me then.  I knew it was true as certainly as I am sure that I exist.  I never had an experience like that before or since.  well..i guess that's religous but it's the most spiritual thing that's ever happened to me...kinda made me feel strange.

Yes, and what a trip. There was this guy in my house. I sensed it. I flew up out of bed and this male silhouette is in my living room. Only he's just black like the absence of matter. But he was there. I yelled at him to GET OUT. He went through, literally, the door, without opening it. Then I looked down at my hands and they were that weird black. I flew back into my body and sat up. It just happened.\n\nAnother time I was meditating. I saw this incredibly white light. But it didn't hurt my eyes. And I felt totally safe,satisfied, contented and euphoric all at once. It lasted an instant and was gone. This I induced.

Yes, I do and yes I have had a similar experience. That there is more to me than this body and that what is of me must be beyond what I can fully understand, but that it is eternal. \n\nI was a Christian at first and I remember that I did have to constantly try to get rid of that 'feeling' and 'belief'...and I was constantly trying to conform my beliefs to fit into the Christian mold...sadly it didn't work and I wanted to go deeper spiritually. I prayed and prayed and prayed and God helped me find Hinduism where not only do I not have to conform my belifes anymore, but where I can continue to journey deeper.

What a good experience!\n\nDo you always communicate with the voice? or you see him?\nDo you already know the voice of Jesus? how many times did it happen (same kind of this experience)? You are blessed.\n\nGOD BLESSED US!

I've had a couple times where I really felt God with me.  The one I recall most: I was thinking of His actions that confuse and/or disturb me.  I started crying hard.  So I prayed, and told God what I was thinking.  Next thing I know, my tears dry up, my breathing slows down, and my whole body relaxes.  I have no doubt God was comforting me!

Yes, God has made His presence known to me a couple times in my life.  I've also had some interesting occurances transpire that lead me to believe in the strong possibility of life after death.  It makes sense to me that our energy transfers to a different state.  Seems scientifically plausible, but it goes beyond our realm of understanding.

Yes and as a Christian receiving it from a Christian woman, the natural environment with soft Christian music was exceptionally rewarding, as I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and found it to be very energizing. I wish the rural town I'm in now had someone who offered the service!
