Did you ever have an experiance with Holy Spirit? (page 2)

nytelecom1

one time i was so constipated that the bowel movement was the most painful in my life.......I prayed to the almighty god..........
and god delivered

I would like to beleive I had an Experience that I could say was the Holy Spirit, but I'm afraid it might be just wishful thinking, and might just be my heart going along what other people are saying and not the Truth.

I read about the Indwelling HS but can't say that I've ever experienced anything that I could definitly point to and say "YES TRULEY IT WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT".
I beleive in the Ressurrection of Jesus Christ and want to serve him, but I never have experienced the Indwelling Holy Spirit, not for sure anyway.

I think Shelby is not telling the truth and is making alot of what she says up. And beleive me I wish what she says was true, but common sense tell me be honest with yourself and don't allow wishful thinking cause me to fall for lies.

Sorry but that's the truth as naked as I can make it.

If I'm wrong I'm wrong but it would have to be so definite for me to beleive it 100%.

I'll defend your right to say it, but it doesn't mean I beleive it.

Holy Spirit? I guess you could say that it was Holy Spirit that lead me out of the Org. God works in mysterious ways.

Yes, many times, both to me and to others in my family. Would I elaborate here? Probably not, since, as you notice, there is a lot of "doubting" and other forms of mocking going on. The Spirit cannot function in such a setting. Maybe another thread.

But yes, it does exist, it does teach, it does guide, it does warn, it does comfort, and it is very, very real.

Thanks to all who posted and for your experiences.

In my life I asked for Gods Holy Spirit to help in a way that would have saved my marriage. My spouse had doubts about my faithfulness in our relationship. I asked God that if it was his will to please remove these doubts, because he knows they were not true. She also prayed that either the doubts be removed or for the truth to come out. Well the doubts were never removed and only got worse until delusional thinking caused her to divorce with no evidence what so ever. I do believe however that she wanted to divorce and was hopeing that I was guilty so she would have grounds. Being that JWs can only divorce for adultery, I believe that this is what drove her to this conclusion, because she wanted it that bad.

So why didn't the Holy Spirit intervene in my case and remove the doubts of my spouse? No miracle of healing! No major task for something as powerful as the HS!

Some would say my faith was not strong enough. But I did at the time truly believe the Holy Spirit could do so. And since the bible says the God hates a divorcing I felt assured that my request was in line with Gods will.

So what went wrong?

Mine resulted in a broken ankle being completely healed instantly after I swore at God for not caring about me or my family.

Why did you receive Holy Spirit when you were swearing at God? Would that not show a lack of faith? And why only one time? Should I have been swearing at God instead of praying to him.

AGuest said:

I have had and continue to have DAILY 'experiences' with the holy spirit, due to the fact that such 'one' dwells IN me.

Why are you so lucky to have the spirit DAILY, while the rest of us don't get it at all, or maybe once in a life time?

to seeker: you said:

Similarly, stories where the person was certain it was the Spirit would need to be submitted for skeptical examination, not just taken on a person's word. At least, if you want anyone else to believe it, no matter how much it convinces you.

Good point and I agree with you here, because I don't know of any truly documented cases where this sort of thing has been proven against skeptical examination. I guess that's why they call it FAITH HEALING. It can't be proven, to just gotta have faith. (Least that’s what George Michaels said.)

To nytelecom1: LOL, Thank god your prayers were answered or you might have exploded. I wouldn’t want to have to clean up that mess.

To Abaddon:

Well, I don't know about the Holy Spirit. I like Jim Bean and Laphroigh though...

I prefer Johnny Walker. By the way what is Laphroigh?

To StifflersErSlayersBrother:LOL, Funny story, I have a good one about a woman who got the spirit in the Kingdom Hall parking lot when it was full of JWs but I will save it for another thread.

To SusanHere:Please share your experiences. I am asking because I am searching for answers to why I can't get any while others get more then they need.

I would like to believe I had an Experience that I could say was the Holy Spirit, but I'm afraid it might be just wishful thinking, and might just be my heart going along what other people are saying and not the Truth.

This is how I feel, I want to believe that it was Holy Spirit, and I did at the time. But now I am thinking that it was just wishful thinking or good timing.

To sleepy: I had a similar experience with a shadowy figure pushing on me from behind once, but I was tripping on acid at the time(I’m not kidding). It freaked me out and made me believe that doing drugs did invite demons. I never did acid again.

So back to my follow up question for those who believe that the HS is real. Why is the lord so stingy with his holy spirit, that some only get it once in a life time or never at all, while others are full of it all day long?(No pun intended)

Why didn't the Holy Spirit remove the doubts of my spouse and save my marriage? Was it simply that my spouse's will and desire for a divorce was stronger than the sprit?

Because of the sporadic nature of the experiences that I read and hear, lack of absolute proof as well as my own lack of experience, I am beginning to think that this whole HS thing is nothing more then a neurological phenomenon.

Bendrr

Nothing at all.
No matter how bad things have gone at times for me, I can honestly tell you that during the worst of times there was no "intervention". Now some may smile at this and reply that God or the Holy Spirit work discretely and we may not always recognize the source. I don't buy into that. If God is going to help out a human, who he loves and gave his son's life for, he's damn well going to let them know somehow which side their bread is buttered on.

Laphroigh is a very fine single malt Scotch with a VERY smoky flavor.

It's more than I can handle, but that's just me - I never felt I had a personal relationship with that particular Holy Spirit.

...by the way, what's the Holy Spirit's name? Casper?

No, that would be the Friendly Spirit...

How many Holy Spirits are there? What is the limit of their miraculous power? Can the Holy Spirit do things that, oh, say Benny Hinn can't do? Why does the Holy Spirit waste his/her/its time with trivial matters when there are people who need limbs and organs restored? Where is the Holy Spirit when a person is dying of cancer or blood loss?

"I'm so special the Holy Spirit does my nails each week."

Sheeeeesh!

I've always refered to what has happened to me as my "experience with the Light." It has always occured in the evening or night and seems always to be consequent upon deep meditation. I will be meditating upon some matter of ultimate importance and out of nowhere I will seem to be sitting (or standing) in a pool of blue-white light, corruscating with flecks or sparkles of silver and gold. And I have no sense of how much time passed while this was happening. More frequently there will be a point in time when it seems that a bolt or shaft of pure golden light will shoot up my spine, starting at its very base and exiting through the top of my skull.

While this is happening, there is a sense of direct and immediate knowing; that is, direct knowledge absent analog or metaphor. And I have no knowledge of where this knowledge is coming from.

And the most outstanding characteristic of this experience is the overwhelming sense of love and acceptance and especially peace. I guess it could be called a peace that "passes all understanding." And all is well until I allow my left brain to stop and attempt to analyze the phenomena, at which point the experience goes away. But the peace seems to last for quite a few days. I would do anything to live permanently in that state, but I haven't figured out how to do it. When I do, I'm gone.

I've had this experience perhaps four or five times in the last ten years. God, please let me experience it all some more.
