So what does this Holy Spirit feel like?
I went to Church for the first time ever on Sunday. I've been struggling with my faith and didn't know which Church to go to. I've been told, I should just bit the bullet and go and see which one feels best.
I finally went my local Church of England on Sunday and I saw many many happy people with beaming smiles.
For at least 48 hours afterwards, Im here, Im beaming, Im relaxed (as my mood indicator states), Im content, Im happy, Im filled with joy.
Im tired as anything, but I feel so much happiness it's unreal, I can't stop smiling. I feel great.
What's going on? |

We don't have to see or feel to believe.
You go to Church to be fed the Word of God. If your not being fed, then find another Church that feeds you the Word of God to where you grow in Christ.
The Holy Spirit will bring you joy and peace.
Thanks,

Are those not feelings?
Im not trying to suggest that if I suddenly lose these feelings then God will not exist, but Im saying since going to Church, I have been hit by this incredible feeling of utter wellbeing and happiness that I don't think I've ever felt.
That has to be significant surely? |

My bad. Sorry.
Yes, happiness and well being are significant.
Thanks,

I want to keep telling everyone what's happened and share this good news.
What Im trying to say about this, is that maybe this is the thing Im looking for, the confirmation that Im on the right track, the opened connection with God. |

But remember that ol' devil will try to steal your joy.
Watch and pray.

What's going on?
Heaven... Heaven is peace, joy... but spiritual, not of the flesh. It is more of a state of constant altitude then anything else. That is, you can feel anger or sadness, but it is always from a perspective much higher then where the damned are... so it is always tinged with vast joy and peace.
I would not say it is about physical feeling, however... more of a state of awareness and joy in being so fortunate.
Like having an office in the tall building overlooking everything else.  |
