I was raised Roman Catholic. I stopped going to church at around age 15. I stayed away from religion fearing that I would become brainwashed.
Fast forward to age 40.
Realizing that I didnt really have a choice as a child to look at other religions. I started to look into other teachings starting with Mormons. It took me less than four hours of research into that religion to determine it was not for me.
Working 3rd shift alone I had a lot of free time.
Still wanting to find a religion, I found myself on Biblica.com & listening to the Book of John narrated by Max. I listened to the entire book that night into the morning.
It was around 3am when I finally finished it and man it was really powerful.
I got up to goto the restroom and on my way a thought in my head said 'You can ask him a question and he will answer you'. Its hard to describe this thought as it wasnt my own, but it was so natural sounding in my head that I mistook it as my own thought or I didnt question it, its weird now but it wasnt then. So I answered that thought while I was still walking with "Lord I have a question I want to ask you." and immediately I sensed a presence above me and what seemed like a dimensional tunnel that I couldnt see opened above.
I froze in my steps. I could sense 'they' were waiting for my question. Thats when that thought in my head said 'quickly ask a question', my mind frantically raced but was blank, then the thought of 'Lord please recharge my Soul' popped into my head and I thought 'yes'. Right then the voice/thought alerted me that the security camera far across the building could see me and to move into the cut out that was 2 steps ahead. So I did.
What came next was amazing.
I felt a strong presence just behind me. Then I dropped to my knees in a high prayer. This is something I've never done before and being 280lbs not sure how I was able to. Something was guiding my body to do these things, I was like a puppet in a way.
As soon as I was in that position is when it started.
It was so overwhelming that I immediately bursted out crying hysterically, my nose had a river running through it. I was in the back of my mind thinking what is going on while in the front of my mind that thought/voice was chanting 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me Lord' over and over outloud, while the Lords love blasted into me. This lasted what seemed like 5 minutes. I was freaking out in the back of my brain, I was just along for the ride. I felt my inner self getting full of the Lord loving energy to the point where I couldnt take anymore, I felt like I was going to explode, and then just like that it stopped.
The presence and the thought were gone.
I was at the front and in control of myself again. My body slumped down into a low kneel and I picked myself up walked into the bathroom and leaned against the wall thinking what just happened!? What does this mean?! Holy smokes I just met the Lord & the Holy Spirit!!
That was the day I met the Lord.
When I think back of how pure the Lords love was that day my body radiates with goosebumps and tears start flowing. Its so powerful. His love is so pure it makes me want to be a better person.
God Bless
