HisSparkplug,
And no one touched me, so not one hand was laid upon me when I hit the floor before I knew what had happened to me.
And that was well over 20 years ago.
But yeah, I actually went to disprove it and was shown otherwise, I have no problem with saying so either. No matter how ridiculous some of the movements now appear, I cant deny the truth of what happened. It didnt make me a follower of that particular group or desirious to follow after the same experience again or anything. It was that it was okay now, I could say I was wrong and I couldnt say anything against it or them (in relation to the same) either because not one of them ever put their hands on me.
So I said, now that was very powerful indeed, and pretty much walked out of there with more of a bruised ego, and thats about it. And even that wasnt too hard to do though because no one knew what I had intended except the Lord at that time.
Had I made an announcement (publically) and then was floored that would be a whole different story, so it made me slower to speak on somethings.
But I am familiar, and in more ways then one. Im just not a sharer of my experiences so much either, just that one ( even as I have already) and which has really been a matter of being honest about it (when seeing me at that topic again) in another. But again, I even had to be shown myself (personally so). I know well that someone could have talked to me till they were blue in the face (attesting that it was) but they would just be both fruitcakes (and fakers) and I would be more then willing to go just to prove them wrong. So I convinced myself that talking bout experiences is sorta dumb, because I already know how I would have responded.
I am always skeptical, and typically cautious. But thats just how I am though.
And just because that was a real experience for me, doesnt make me somehow believe everyone in that room was for real. The experience just validated what I stood in doubt of (to me) and thats all. I didnt stand in doubt of God, but the realness of that happening. And when it did, I didnt put my faith in either them, or that, because it was already in God, I just learned it was not fake, and not to speak against it as though it were.
Now, had someone tried to push me, I would have pushed back (because thats how I was) and I would be writing (here and now) what a scam the whole hitting the floor thing is too.
And sure, theres always that also.
Even still I would say, "big whoop", it was an experience (thats all). And I dont put much merit in them beyond that. Even my own actually.
