I experience waves of heat, some more intense than others. The heat is usually felt in my torso up through my neck. It is not a medical phenomenon, but a spiritual one. I know this because, even though I haven't yet figured out what they mean, they go away if I change my thoughts and they return if I change them back. I am having a very hard time identifying the pattern.
I also experience chills when I am really "getting" the Holy Spirit--when my mind is completely focused on Him and I feel totally united with Him. I have heard other Christians talk about these chills or goosebumps--good ones, not creepy ones--when something significant spiritually seems to be happening.
I am wondering if these "hot flashes" I am experiencing are the opposite--a sort of warning or foreboding that is being given to me from God.
If you've had experience with this or if you have any insights at all, I would really appreciate it. It would also mean a lot to me if you could pray for me, especially about this. I want to discern God's will and make good decisions with a clear conscience, and there is something about this feeling that is getting to me. I am experiencing some general spiritual confusion right now.
Thank you, and God bless you.
