It felt like this complete sense of awe and wonder at God and the Holy Spirit and I saw in the spirit everything was brighter and the air had color and it was alive, like electricity. I was overcome with the feeling to laugh and cry all at the same time. I wanted to bow but instead I fell face first to the floor. No one was near me to push me or to catch me! I didn't even have time to put my hands out to catch myself, but I wasn't hurt. All I could do was laugh and cry at the same time..

The Word of God tells us that the work of the Spirit is to bring one to faith, conviction, and to work the fruits of righteousness in them.  I don't know about your experience but unless you are being led to Christ and those fruits of goodness, righteousness, and thanksgiving are being worked in you then you better take the warning of scripture to "test the spirits" to make sure its not the wrong one.\n   The Holy Spirit does not magnify Himself but Christ.

I have have many experiences like this, it's difficult to focus on one or two. I really wish I had more time to think about these things in the midst of a busy life, so thank you for asking this question.\n\nI had a near death experience, which made me more sure that there is something there after death. I saw a light, and found myself travelling towards it, and could hear the voices of loved ones who had died. Just as I seemed to arrive at a beautiful garden, it was as if I started travelling rapidly back again to the here and now - it wasn't my time yet.\n\nMeditation is a spiritual experience for me. So it prayer, although I don't belong to any organised religious group. And sometimes just walking in a beautiful place, or even sitting for a few minutes in a sunny garden. Or looking into the eyes of someone you love. Or sometimes a dream will take you to a spiritual place.I believe these are all spiritual experiences and they are available to us all, whenever we are open to them.

I agree. I believe this is where Bible reading, prayer and the Holy Spirit come in. The Bible reading will make you familiar with what doctrines churches should be teaching. Prayer will give to you wisdom, and the Holy Spirit can help you discern and understand, based on fact, what is going on. Good luck to ya!

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.

That God answered my prayer, and through miracles, dreams, visions, and words, brought me my husband from 500 miles away.  A man who knows God, loves God, lives for God.  A man who seeks God with all his heart, all his soul, and all his strength. \n\nGod gave me dreams to tell me about this man in advance.  God is real and awesome and dynamic and so beautiful.  He came after me and made me a new spirit.  He came after a man and made him a new spirit.  Then through his great miracles he put us together.\n\nPraise you God, for your glory, your love, and your power and strength.  Praise you, God, in times of pain.  Praise you for who you are.  Let your will be done.

Yes, all the time.\n\nTo name a few:\n\nWhen I was baptized.\n\nEvery week at Mass when I receive the body and blood of Christ. \n\nWhen I asked God to forgive my sins and He did.\n\nWhen I married my wife.\n\nWhen I saw my children being born.\n\nI like to think of humans as not physical beings with a spiritual side but as spiritual beings with a temporary physical side.\n\nWith love in Christ.

Yes.  And the pastor touched on all the answers that I have been answering on yahoo.  God gave me the assurance, He knows.  I feel so blessed.  Not only that, God is pouring a healing on the congregation at 6:00 evening service at River of Life Fellowship.  So, I'm going to be there at that time also.

I sure do. Speaking in tongues is evidence that the Holy Spirit is living inside of you. It is a special communication between you and God and it is a gift from him. Praise be to God!!!!

I used to be pentecostal and I still go to a pentecostal church but have since fallen.What intrigued me to their church is that they dont condemn you when you want to shout or raise your hands or dance in worshiping the Lord.They believe in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues which I have done.Im not condeming other churches im just speaking of why i like mine.When the preacher preaches it is not boring but interesting and lively.They get excited in praising God and spreading his word.When I went it made my adrenaline pump and I was happy.

I have said this many times to people....i have felt a spiritual connection to many people who i have just met for the first time, and talk to asthough i have known them all my life.....i dont really know what this is but it is very powerful....sometimes i wonder if God is working through them, or me.

To me the Holy Spirit is everywhere and in everything. Like any spirit it is free, but pure and can influence us in many different positive and loving ways to better ourselves and others, but only if we want it too. The Holy Spirit is an advanced soul with more understanding to life and love than you will ever have in your life on this earth. Just remember, it is all around us, in every bit of detail, and it is there to help you through your journey, but only if you believe...

I once went on a missions trip to Ukraine 2 years ago, and because we had friends there who were part of an organisation, they brought us around and we did things like meeting street children, eating with them, buying food for poor families, visiting elders whose children left them.... and much much more.  It was a most awesome experience, and these types of experiences really humble you and (at least for me) it made me think twice about how content I was. And although I thought that I would be changing others' lives by helping them, it was totally opposite and it was a life-changing experience for me. Let's just say that God works in wonderful ways!
