Can I have a thread/nothing but God

Good to see you again snup!
The last time I experianced direct contact with the presence of God was this morning in the wee hours. I had been praying and then was drifting off to sleep when I felt the presence of God close to me. It is tangable enough to wake me. I think it is actually an angel that is ministering to me... but I am not exactly sure. This happens on a regualr basis.
The most powerful presence occurred once nwhen I was especially burdened by a personal issue. I was super drained in every way, physically, soulically, and spiritually. I felt like I just wanted to give up the whole thing and go home to be with the lord. I actually prayed for this for many hours and days. One night it all came to a head. I begged God to bring me home. I was serious. I told Him I could not do this any more.
I was through. As I drifted off to sleep.. I felt the actual physical (and spiritual) touch of God on my head and shoulders. All that trouble just seemed to melt away. I woke up refreshed and feeling much better.
Another time I prayed in tongues for 6-8 hours... started in the early evening. At some time between 1-3 in the morning I felt the presence of an angel come through the ceiling and enter the room, and then leave.
Almost every personal "visitation" has been like this. I never feel this way in church. (???) I have felt this in prayer meeting tho.

My heart pound for more of God, to touch the very essence. When was the last time you saw God?...

Can you imagine living a life where people attually see God on you? The kingdome of Heaven is a hand. one day it will be at my hand, after I become a believer (does not refer to salvation).

What is the point of salvation unless I can stand in the presence of God, unless I can remain in the presence of God?

I want the presence of God to infect my life, not just my worship. I guess I want worship to become my life. And I want people who enter my presence to be overcome with His presence.

Some have said that they want His words on their tongue. I want to be so in sink with the Spirit that my words become His words.

Have you ever given God a hug? Or just carried on a conversation with him? Just like best friends?

It is sometimes hard to explain the idea of wearing God, or is it God wearing you.

My whole mind changes after touching God. It's like a cloud lifts of of my mind and spirit. Everything makes sence. It's like the feeling that you get after reading a love letter. He comes everytime that I call. Just waiting to love on me. I have never known Him to hide from me. Though I have hid from Him.

I love the way you said that. It's beautiful! I've been enjoying your posts lately since they are so much more positive and edifying than many.

I am not sure if this will conflict with your beliefs or not, but the best help I have found to getting out of my flesh and into the Spirit, wether it be praying, worshiping, or reading, is by first praying in tongues untill my spirit is renewed and I am full of wonder.

There is so much power to overcome the flows from this simple action of just hooking up my spirit with the Holy Spirit. It is really the best way to shut down the mind.

Can I just say WOW

I enjoy then He explains His word to me.
it is so rare to find a christian now a days with a real relationship with God. Most have just settled for the fluff that they call a church service. My friends who see in the spirit realm would be irritated with what most consider a good service due to the high number of demons and general lack of God's Spirit.

I remember one service where the only thing that had God's fingerprint on it was the reading of a scripture, and his presence left as soon as the preacher started speaking.

We need the real God in our lives, not some symbol of His exsistance. Where are the real christians, please raise your hands and shout. What is the point of Christinanity if there is no demonstration of God?

HALLELUJAHHH! How's that for raising

my hands and shouting In our churches and our lives we definately need the tangible presence of God and to truly experince Him in all His glory and the demonstration of His power !

It always seems funny to me when a good thread dies. You have these threads that just a one big arguement that seem to last forever, but a thread that deals with real issues of relationship with God is almost alway doomed. They are just not interesting enough I guess.

Touching is God is supposed to be normal for a Christian. That is the thing that is supposed to seperate us from the world. But most Christians havn't had an encounter with God since their last salvation experience. Don't desire to be normal, it is boring. Find God's definition of normal and be that.
