Personal Spiritual Experiences....!

[Marilyn777]

What personal 'Spiritual' experiences have had the most profound impact on you?

For me when I came to know the Lord in a personal way in 1975 was a profound moment for me, my life changed that day forever. It hasn't been easy but I know He has always been there, 'in computer speak' its like He is sitting in my system tray ready to take action whenever I never Him and even when I don't realize I need Him!

Another time is when I was baptized by submersion at a Jesus festival in a beautiful river with hundreds of other people there. And on the way home from the festival our car was hit by a drunk driver we were almost killed. Infact one of people in the other car was killed. There were beer bottles all over the road.

The first policeman on the scene was a Christian, he had just finished reading the book "Prison To Praise" The people in the house the accident happened in front of came out and gave us all blankets and were really wonderful. The Christian policeman was very comforting and kept asking me questions about the festival and he prayed with me.

God was even there with us during the horrible scary situation. I was with two girlfriends and we were all fine just bumps and bruises, my friend in the front seat passenger had a broken bone in the top of her foot but that was all. I wasn't wearing a seat belt but I was asleep in the backseat so my body was relaxed when we were hit, but I was thrown forward into the back of the front seat.

We were transported by ambulance to the nearest town and then released. From there we went to my friends parents place the one with the broken bone. One strange thing that happened that day my parents passed the car accident on their way to a family reunion but it was after we were transported to the hospital and they didn't recognize the car, but my mom had a funny feeling when they drove by that it was me.

But she didn't find out until the next day. I believe the Holy Spirit was with us in the car that day protecting us, I was still wet from being baptized because I had it done right before we left! The next day big handfulls of my hair fell out and I had the biggest bruise I'd ever seen on the back of my thigh and I was really stiff and sore for quite awhile after but we were protected there is no doubt about it!

We Have An Amazing God!

One day a few years ago when I driving home from work with Jack, my carpooler, we were almost hit head on by a car that hit the center divider, spun around and headed right at us. We were doing about 70 mph at the time. I simply grasped the steering wheel and froze. But, my car veered to the right avoiding that certainly lethal collision by what seemed like an inch. Then, immediately after avoiding a head on, my car was right back in the proper lane. But the funny thing is, I never turned the steering wheel. Both Jack and I were amazed. We could only surmise one of our guardian angels took control of the situation.

One of my most remembered spiritual experiences was when I was filled with His wonderful and impowering Spirit.

i was down at the altar crying my eyes out and I just started speaking in tongues as if it wasnt me. I felt so happy and on fire for God at that moment.

I dont know if anyone here believes in speaking in tongues but I do and after that experience I have never been the same. His Spirit has given me the boldness to speak out on Godly things and to share with worldly people the good things He has done for me

Wow, where to begin? God is constantly reminding me of His greatness and truths! The first I would share is my conversion experience (I wrote about in in testimonials). But recently, just this past week at a music and leadership camp for teens in Peru, each prayer meeting I would watch the teens bow down in prayer, many of them weeping. I knew I did not speak spanish very well and very few of them spoke any english, but I decided I would stand beside them and pray anyway. I felt like God would tell me, "stand by her", "put your hand on his shoulder and pray for him", etc. so I would and then I would just pray in english. Each time, I literally felt the Holy Spirit on us and the language barrier did not matter one bit because it was not the words that was speaking but His spirit. Know what I mean? It was the most amazing thing. I learned that listening to Him was most important because He will do His work regardless of the "barriers" we humans percieve. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
