• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How do you know for sure in her case? Yes, it could be something spiritual, but it might be just a bodily response to an ambient temperature change. Too much obsession with physical manifestations of God's presence can lead you to superstition, and eventually doubt (which is what the Devil wants). True faith in God takes place without Earthly, physical proof.

It can be that, too. But I have to assume if the OP is asking here, they've already taken ambient temperature and other natural occurrences into account.

Because when we have an experience we are left with a feeling knowing deep down that it wasn't just a normal experience.. I am more than confident she can tell the difference when she is cold.. But, because I am filled with the Holy Ghost I am directed on some post.. I don't just respond to all just some that stand out if that makes sense... She is also gifted but, I didn't go into that because it's not for me to say.. I feel confident that she will seek the Lord and the Lord will reveal to her... The Holy Ghost is the trainer and my path is not their path.. Glory to God...

I'm getting cold chills right now but that's because it's snowing!!!! All the trees are in blossom and it's snowing :eek: We lost 1/3 of our bee population because of the cold winter last year and this year it hasn't snowed till March. I sure hope the fruit crops are all right.

I've never heard of cold chills associated with God's presence before tho.

The Spirit of God is given to his children and that is your guide to help you along and if you learn to listen when that soft voice says no don't do that - but, do anyway that was the Spirit of the Lord helping you..

The Holy Ghost is given to the chosen- the Holy Ghost will instruct about you as well as others depending on what needs to be said or done. The Holy Ghost teaches in all areas based on your calling.. As far as seeing spiritually or hearing spiritually and being spiritually fed.. In order to better understand when given a message so that means you are constantly paying attention because what was taught yesterday is needed to interprete tomorrow.

When we learn to listen we save ourselves a lot of problems then also we benefit others..

I can answer that post because I know what she meant - she is just describing the feeling to get her point across. But, actually its something deeper.. Sometimes when someone is preaching I will feel the Holy Ghost and that to help me to confirm that person that they are a child of God. And it depends because When I go to pray for people on the form I can read the post and feel the Holy Ghost and know that I am to pray for them or it will be honored or it maynot be - and I maynot be told why it's not - sometimes we have to do the walk - poor so that we can learn something greater... (poor - not always money wise it can be health too..) I can feel that you are honestly asking and not trying to be funny like some so that why I wanted to come back and write it out more in detail so you will know. I still doubt sometimes when I am told something but, then the Lord re-confirms it.. because anything with God - God will give confirmation. Because He knows us.. Stay Blessed!

Also what if you have like a overwhelming feeling of love? Could that be the presense of God too?
I saw Jesus' face in a dream and for 3 days His love literally surrounded me. I don't think that could be duplicated by anything else. He is love. That's awesome when it happens in the middle of praise. When the mind is set on Him it's all bonus to feel His presence any way He presents Himself.

Absolutely yes.

Rom 5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

He is a loving Father who wants you to know experientially that love.
