The God Experience

[Pseud]

I think it was Quaffer who told me a story about her and God which really made me laugh, I hope she'll share it here. (Apologies if it wasn't Quaffer!) It inspired me to start this thread, and share one of my God experiences, a little hard to explain what I'm looking forward to reading in this thread so I'll just get on with it and share mine.

One of my first 'God Experiences' was soon after I'd been born again. I had been praying, and asking for forgiveness. I'd accumulated many sins over the years! So, I fell asleep feeling happy that I'd realised the err of my ways, and attempted to make my peace with God. However, I fell asleep with the sins still weighing in my conscience, and feeling still a little guilty!

The instant I woke up I felt something. I was just overcome with this enormous wave of love and forgiveness. I didn't hear a voice with my ears, or in my head, but I heard with my heart 'you are forgiven', clear as any voice could have said. It was awesome, and I felt so much better.

Can you share anything?

Sure.

One early morning in the previous summer, I was filled with a bursting joy and I became really happy. 'Twas cool. I felt like I should go run down the street and hug someone. Ahhh...

Yes PseudAnon, it was me. . .we were chattin' in the chat box and I happend to mention that God even told me joke one time and you asked me what the joke was.

So here goes. . .I use to work for a Christian non-profit organization. They were a great place to work. Due to a reorginization, my job position was moved into a dept where there was one fellow employee who did not like me and now that I was in their dept they were not just a fellow employee but they were my boss.

I'm not really sure why this person did not like me but I seemed to grate on his nerves. I would just come into the room and he'd get up and leave or he'd say something sarcastic.

I know the Lord was doing some major changes in my life and I had become overwhelmed with joy. I'm really a rather quiet person but I went to a very lifely church. It became, for me anyway, a rather odd position because while I was still "the quiet one" at church, at work, where most of them were from even more quiet churches, I was "the loud one".

Anyway, one day I was on the internet and I found a spiritual gifts test that I could take on line and it would score it for me and tell me where I had the strongest giftings.

At the end, I clicked on score and saw the #1 gifting as "prophet". I was very shocked and said to God, "God, I'm not a prophet. I don't even want to be a prophet".

Then, in my spirit I heard God say, "sure you are. . . I've called you as a prophet to a non-prophet orginization." LOL. Me and God had a pretty good laugh for several minutes.
