Ok, well I'll just give you one tiny example, one little tidbit, real quick about just one quick example of the type of things I've been experiencing, the other day, I went down to a local park and parked my Car, I was listening to a Christian radio station, and I saw a homeless man digging in the garbage cans, and I saw everybody ignore him and I watched him as he went down the line to each garbage can and then went and took a seat at a picnic table under the pavilion and started eating something...

Now, I'm part of the "pocket testament league" and so I have little pocket sized books of the gospel of John sent to me in the mail to hand out periodically, and so, I had some with me (see this is already turning out to long for what is supposed to one short quick example) anyways, I got out a copy, got into my wallet and stuck a ten dollar bill in between the pages, and got out of my car and decided to walk up to the man and try and strike up a conversation...

Now I can't tell you about how all the conversation went, but needless to say it was a little strange and I could feel a spiritual presence right there with us (a presence I've felt before and use to scare me) and I couldn't understand everything he was saying, but I had no doubt that while he may have seemed crazy to everybody else, I had no doubt that God could understand him comepletely, and I could feel that old familiar presence, well, anyways, I gave him a copy of the Gospel of john along with the ten bucks, and listened to him speak and tried to follow what he was saying, and while I couldn't follow all of what he was saying (some of it was over my head) As I said I had no doubt whatsoever that God understood him clearly an comepletely, He said during our conversation, he told me, "This will be our little secret, OK?" and I said "OK" but as for the rest of the conversation which was very strange I couldn't tell you, I just knew that (what had by now) become that old familiar presence there with us...

Well, I went back to my Car and decided to drive to a different area of the park, (more private) to pray, and as I went to this other area, and began praying, A whole flock of birds started flying through the trees over where my car was sitting, when I went to pray, I also happened to look up and the time on my clock in my car was 3:33 pm (numbers in three's along with other things happening in my environment around me had also become an old familiar "thing" as it had happened many, many times before) anyways, oh, yeah, also there was a break in the clouds right around that time, and it seemed as if the sun was beaming right down over where I was at, It got brighter and brighter as I prayed...

Anyways, I'm gonna stop right there for now, but needless to say a series of strange coincidences that I was at first afraid of, but now, am becoming more and comfortable and familiar with...

P.S. I've also spoke to the rain on two occassions and had it pour down a lot harder all of the sudden on one occasion where I thought I'd "speak" to it, and on the other occasion, I remember, had the rain stop, when I said something to the effect of "Oh, haven't we been through this before, as I related it to crying" and after I said that, the rain stopped, the clouds parted just over where I was at, and the sun beamed down bright in just my location only, (I looked around to see if the clouds had parted anywhere else, and they/it hadn't, just right over where I was at, and in the space of less than a minute of my speaking to "it".

These type of things (and these are just a "few", just a small taste of everything that has been happening and had happened with me) Anyways, these type of things were starting to become so regular to me, I was starting to view them as "ordinary", "normal" but to other people, very, very far from"normal"...

Anyways, tell me a little bout yours, and I will share more of my examples, if you wish?

In Jesus Christ's Holy name, God Bless You!

Then I responded:

How are not these signs and wonders or supernatural activity, a said a/multiple series of strange coincidences, to coincidental to just be mere coincidence?

Why are you so curious about "demonic" activity?

`I was freed by Christ from what I perceive to be demonic voices as I stated in this post: http://www.christianforums.com/t7835533-2/#post66112397

I would tell you more but they all basically amount to a series of strange coincidences, to coincidental to be just mere coincidence involving forces of the environment, animals, technology, people and the like, but if you don't think there to strange to be mere coincidence and don't think there of a supernatural nature, then I don't see much point in telling you anymore...? Do you want to hear other examples, or not?

To this day I am not sure of the source that has been showing me these things, so they could be demonic (unholy), or they could be angelic (Holy), I'm still not sure...

Which was part of my problem when I posted this post: http://www.christianforums.com/t7835533/#post66101926

In Jesus Christ's Holy name, God Bless you!

Then the other person responded:

Yes...why dont you give me examples in each category you mentioned...technology, nature, animals, people etc. Because I don't see that those occurances you mentioned are "out of the ordinary"

A flock of birds hovering overhead is normal. Bumbs acting crazy is normal. Clouds splitting and ligh breaking through is normal...it has to shine on everyone when it happens not just a particular person. IN that person's mind they think they are being focused on but it just so happens that 300,000 people in your city are experiencing the same thing.

But please tell me more specific things involving what you mentioned above. TEchnology, people, animals nature etc. Thanks!

IN Christ

Then I responded:

One time just after I had spoke to the rain up at my dying grandpa's house (on hospice, death watch) just after I had spoke to the rain, and said, "haven't we been through this already (cause it had happened before) Just after that, I took a walk down to the store (about three blocks away, but in the country) Anyways, I walked past this neighbor's house that has this dog that will aggressively bark at you the whole way down (past the houses) fence-line...

Anyways, I walked past this dog, only this time it wasn't aggressively barking at me, but it was barking at something very aggressively about ten yards ahead of/behind me, It was aggressively barking at something, but there was nothing and no one there, but it was barking at something, and this was not the first occasion that I've had a dog aggressively bark at something, but there was nothing there about ten yards away from me...

Was there "something" there, I don't know, but the dog certainly seemed to think so...

With Love and thanks from Your Brother in Christ, J.

P.S. I have more if you wish to hear it...

God Bless!

One time I was up my families grave-sites, where many of my family including both of my parents are buried, and I opened the doors on my car and started playing songs to them, cause I go up their and sit and do this every once in a while, so I was playing music for/to/with them...

Now on the other side of the fenced off grave-site is a pasture, and I had completely ignored the fact and didn't notice that there was a whole herd of horses, just on the other side of the fence, but I looked over at them and finally took notice of them, and as soon as I just took notice of and looked at them, the whole herd went running down to the lower pasture, I found it odd and wondered if it was because of my taking notice, consequently I happened to look at the time and it 2:22, again numbers in three's at the time of an already odd occurance.

God Bless!

Once I took my wife, ex-wife shopping and as usual I would most of the time sit and wait in the car, and I would usually listen to music or some christian station, now it was cloudy and raining, something told me turn off the music and take a time out to pray, well, right when I turned the stereo off, And I was contemplating what I would/wanted to pray.

Well, right at the time when I turned the Radio off, a strong wind blew in that shook the whole car, then the rain stoped, and bright sunshine started shining down right where I was at, and I looked around to see if there were any other breaks in the clouds, but nope, just a small one, right over where I was at and that was it, so i got back in my car, sat there, for about a half and hour silently before I started praying...

Well, right when I started praying, my wife was just walking out of the store, and then right as I had started to pray, there was an explosion about three blocks away, a transformer blew knocking out half the power in the city, consequently, I quickly closed my prayer, and happened to check the time and it was 3:33 pm

It seemed very coincidental to me...

God Bless!

One time my wife was so distraught, crying helpless, hopeless tears, and we were sitting in the car together at a park, and I felt so helpless as I didn't know how to help her other than directing her to Jesus, but nothing would take away her sorrowful, extremely distraught state.

Now it was a little cloudy, but it wasn't raining and the wind wasn't blowing very hard, the sky was cloudy, but calm, and I got out of the car for minute, so frustrated over not being able to do anything about my wife's distraught state, and I went up to a park bench and prayed, I can't remember the details, but I essentially for God to "show" us, to "prove it" or something, somehow, someway, if he was with us and is our helper.

Well, after praying this prayer, during praying this prayer, it started sprinkling, then raining, the sky was getting darker, and the wind started picking up, and in about five minutes of prayer, it went from calm to getting to be stormy and blustering weather, well, in the space of about that five minutes of praying, we were right the middle of a heavy rain, violent windstorms and thunder and lightning... We had to drive around two downed trees that the lightning had knocked over into the road, Oh, and I happened to check the time when I got back in the car and it 5:55 pm...

Strange coincidence?

God Bless!

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what this thread is actually about?

Perfectly normal occurrences being assigned paranormal cause?


Like this occurrence that happens 10 times every day in every single time zone:

If anything happened at 6:66 PM, I'd begin to think it was strange. :)

I ordered breakfast stuff at McDonalds one morning (taxed in our state) and the total ended up being $6.66 and the lady on the microphone paused awkwardly and simply asked if the order on the screen was correct, and for me to pull around. She couldn't seem to make herself say the total out loud. ^_^

LOL, now THAT would be supernatural.

I think sometimes we tend to find meaning in things when we need there to be a meaning. I remember my old pastor once say that he was asking God to show that He was with him one day, and the clouds parted and 3 stars showed up in the sky.

He said that everyone in the area could see them, it wasn't anything out of the normal, but that it meant something to him. He said he didn't know if God made it happen just for him or if it was just a random happening, but even if it wasn't anything supernatural he still felt better from it.

Maybe she was experiencing a series of strange coincidences at that moment, (like I was /had) which just made the odds and likely-hood of happening, just to strange or to coincidental, to be just mere coincidence...

You don't think God tries to speak to us through/by these means then...

For those who have ears to hear, and eyes to see, it could be a means of communication?

I have more and the odds and likely-hood of them all happening at once is just "off-the scale" mathematically, or by any other means.

God Bless!

Oh, like it's perfectly "normal" to have the rain respond to the words coming out of your mouth, or it's perfectly "normal" that right after one of those experiences to have a Dog barking at "nothing" about ten yards away from you, trailing you, close to you,

All the experiences I detailed, perfectly "normal" huh? I don't think so...

And I have many, many "more" experiences like these that I can share, which I would say are out of the realm of "normalcy"

But you believe whatever you want to believe, and so will I,

God Bless!

Changes in weather and dogs barking are perfectly normal events.
Someone experiencing perfectly normal events while experiencing a heightened emotional state and assigning paranormal causation is not all that unusual or unheard of.

Here are my thoughts: Why should it NOT be normal for rain to obey and anything else? I think of the disciples going out and casting out demons and healing the sick. They were all shocked and amazed that they could do it. But then there came a demon that they couldn't handle.

They asked Jesus why and He said "Because of your little faith". If we had faith, we would not be shocked when our faith works.

Well, I guess I just have this to say, "Unfortunately, No one can be "told" what the Matrix is, they have to be "shown"." Well, if one day you feel like all of nature is against you, or you begin to experience strange happennings in your environment around strange times on the clock, then you can come back and tell me, "I chose the red-pill" I know what you are talking about now...

You have to experience it for yourself I guess?

God Bless!

One time, while experiencing voices right outside the window to my house, at night, I use to have this different colored light that was designed to shine though a rock, a crystal, well, I began to notice that this light, which is supposed to change different colors gradually change and blend and shift, (oh, it was so beautiful, I wish I still had it),

Anyways, change colors at random, well in connection with my thoughts and the voices outside and my thoughts it began to read red only, or blue only, or purple only, in connection with was, what I thought I was having, revelations, well when right before and after the light at a revelation inside my head, would not shoot a different color at random, but would stick on one color for a bit, and then when the revelation would pass, it would shift to random colors again, and while the voices were distressing, I was totally cought up being in communication in/with, the source of the light, and the light brought me comfort...

I don't have it anymore, but wish I did, I miss it, but yeah, strange times?

God Bless!

Once I was driving to a friends house, after experiencing revelation, Anyways I stepped outside, and was going to head out to drive to a friends house about twenty miles away in a different town, and the weather was cold and raining and cloudy sky...

Well, like I said, I went to drive to my friends house after experiencing revelation, and at my going out I noticed sunshine break through the cloud layers, and shone on directly where I was at, I looked to the break in the cloud layers and it was only over where I was at, no where else, anyways I started driving, and it was sunshine over where I was at, even though driving and on the move, It remained on me, all the way over there, and I wondered...?

So, on the way back I purposely went down (took) some back-roads that had clouds over it/them, and sure as heck, even though I drove down where it should have been raining, the cloud break and the sun (Son) was following me, it was sunny and not raining over where I was at all the way back to the house, so that I wondered greatly...?

God Bless!
