Yes. I think so. It was almost 20 years ago. I was engaged in a conversation about Mary with some friends. We, in no way, were model Catholics and Protestants. We were just bantering about. This feeling washed over me and I was terrified and then it became the most joyous feeling I have ever felt to this day. Tears of joy streamed down my face. What amazed me even more was that the same exact thing happened at the same exact time to my friend Peter, who was sitting a couple chairs away from me at the table. Us two out of the seven sitting there experienced this. I asked Pete a few years back about it and he claims he doesn't remember it. I have never forgotten it and never will.

I screamed and jump nearly out of my skin. Boy! Did I ever tell that spirit off! Scared the living daylights out of me!

My husband and I were watching the movie "Left behind", and if you've seen the movie, there this part where the husband had a vision seeing her wife, telling him "walk by the faith of the Lord",soon right after I saw that part of the movie,I had an overwhelming effect. I let this big groan, breath out of me and tears rolled down my cheeks. I wasn't crying how we most of us tend to do. I had never experienced anything like this in my life. You see, few months ago, I had a dream (vision) where I was standing on a rock while a huge storm was about to hit (tsunami). I was in a shelter trying to pull people up from the water, dream sudden took a turn where God's glory was shining onto my face, after the storm was over. I was always looking for answers until I saw this movie. Holy spirit, God, spoke to me. And told me to walk in the Faith of the Lord no matter what storm hits. Thank you Father.

yes, God sent HIS HELP when I needed it.same as HE did throughout Biblical History, HIS HELP AND COMFORT..that what the HOLY SPIRIT is.HIS POWER and it is AWESOME...no trinity for me though ..the Father ,Son and Holy Spirit are ONE=God...just 3 personalities....:)justme

Yes, but it has never been one of those over whelming emotional things that makes you cry and fall over wriggling on the floor like the Pentecostals do. The Holy Spirit touches me when I am talking to other people about God. It is like I am not talking. It doesn't matter what question or argument people come up with I am able to have the answer. Most times it will be knowledge I never knew I had. There are also times when reading the Bible I will suddenly understand a passage that had never made sense before. That is how the Holy Spirit works.

On one occasion I was watching TV and clipping my toenails when I began to notice the sound coming from the TV had changed to a melodical singing that sounded like angels singing. When I looked up from my grooming I saw angels on the TV screen. They appeared to engaged in a kind of dance with demons as if they were fighting for control. I thought this odd and wondered if some new show had come on. Suddenly I felt a touch that caused me to close my eyes and drop as though dead. As I fell I expected to feel the floor but instead I was filled with a sense of falling, quite litterally, into the hand of God. What an incredible sensation ! I felt as if I was in the palm of a giant hand. I was unable to open my eyes through this. In God's hand was perfect Joy. Now the best way to describe this joy is the way the Ginan character in Star Trek the next generation described being in the Nexus in the movie Generations. This event was before that movie." It was like being in joy as if joy was something tangable and you could wrap yourself up in it like a blanket." That is EXACTLY how that joy felt. Realizing this was no ordinary experience the thought occured to me that perhapse I had died and gone to be with God and began wondering if that was correct then how did I die. As soon as the thought of how I might have died came to my mind I began to expierience the sensation of being lowered to the Earth ( ground ). Immediately I thought, " NO ! " I had no desire to leave the presence of God but had no choice. I could feel myself returning to the world against my wishes. The lowering was unbelievably gentile feeling. The moment I felt my feet touch down with feather light gentileness I was finally able to open my eyes. I was in my bed and the TV was off. I knew I hadn't gone to bed or turned the television off. Even stranger - not only was I in bed but someone had tucked me in as well. I lived alone at the time and had never tucked myself in before - so that was very odd. This was no dream. I was watching TV and was clipping my toenails. I never went to bed but found myself there when the expierience was over. This occured only a few months after first being born again.

Hell, no! If it had, you can rest assured I would have filed criminal charges against it

The Holy Spirit lives in each of the true Christian.Anything good you do is the Holy Spirit doing through us.I mean good from Gods standards,not ours.

He guides me and talks to my heart in everyday practical living. The Holy Spirit comforts, assures me and gives me joy.

Yes, when I was 15-years-old. I have also always prayed that He would touch my children just as He did, me. It's a long but very beautiful story. To summarize, I was at my church youth group when the Holy Spirit touched my life. It was amazing. During prayer, the room was filled with a sudden blinding light. I couldn't keep my eyes closed (the light was so blinding) and could barely make out the forms of the other kids around me because the room was suddently so bright, brighter than 200 high beams on a vehicle. After it was completed, my face appeared sunburned and I couldn't sleep or close my eyes for about 3 days and was physically exhausted from lack of sleep. I was also in the the state of "alarm" (imagine missing being suddenly killed by a split second, and the feeling of being stunned and shaken over the fact you are still alive). EFFECT: I felt that the bright light that was enveloping me, was the Holy Spirit and the light was also love in it's purest form. I then knew that God is not a critical all seeing eye, constantly watching me so that He can punish me, make my life miserable and throw me into the pit of hell when I die like I was taught growing up. Instead, I was overcome with an overwhelming feeling of LOVE. At that very moment, I knew that when when we are happy, He is elated. When we are sad, He is extremely sad. He only wants the best for us and mourns when we choose to hurt others through our thoughts and actions. I also felt that the Holy Spirit wants us to "love one another" and to "seek knowledge." If I hadn't had this experience, I would have probably ended up not caring whether or not I sought knowledge and I would not be the person I am today or have had the ability to touch lives in my career, the way that I do. I also could have continued believing as I was obviously mistakenly taught, that God was out to do nothing but punish us. At age 15, I was able to share with my family how much our Heavenly Father TRULY loves us. I'm incredibly grateful I was touched by the Holy Spirit's love. Terrific question! +5

Yes. It completely changed who I am. I am literally a new person.

Yes, the night I was going to commit suicide. He changed my life and enabled me to understand the Bible

well something touched me. i'm not sure it's called the holy ghost. but yes.

Yes. I felt ashamed...and dirty. Please don't tell him that I told you. He'll be VERY upset, and he get's SO upset!

yes. from fall outs to just talking to someone and having the holy spirit reveal something about the person im talking to. its really quiet strange but i love the feeling

Yes. It was shortly after I said "I do" for the second time. My teenage daughters were rebelling and driving a wedge between me and my new husband. The tension in the household was so thick and I was stuck in the middle. One night after a long workday, then cooking, cleaning and walking on nails trying to keep the peace, I lay in bed mentally and physically exhausted. I began to pray for God to please come to my aid and help me. All at once I felt a jolt of electric-type current hit the tip of my head and radiate down my entire body to my toes. I knew it was the Holy Spirit. What else could it be. When I realized what had just happened, I thanked him for letting me know I wasn't alone, and it happened again just the same way. My marriage ended after one year and both my daughters are now married. I'm now divorced for the second time, and although I feel lonely at times, I know I'm not alone.

I've been meditating for a couple months now and I have had results, weird, but positive results. After all these experiences meditating, nothing matched the first time I truly did it. I remember being in deep meditation, I was thinking deeply about "GOD" and love, then I started thinking about my ex-gf from many years ago (ab.5y.ago). Something happened, I just remember pink cloudy imagery, then something whispered or my own voice in my head said "HER NAME." It hit me, right when her name popped up, i snapped out of my meditation and i felt this rush, a rush that i have never felt before in my life. I felt like i was VERY ecstatic, blissful, happy, peaceful, calm, and i remember being so thankful to "GOD." It was like a shot of adrenaline, I have no idea what i did or what it was or how i did it but it happened, was that what other people call "being touched by the holy spirit?"

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. Galatians 1:11-12 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that the Bible was "breathed out" by God. Galatians 1: 11-12 tells us that the gospel was a revelation from Jesus Christ himself, which was recorded by Jesus disciples and Paul. God himself chose the disciples and the people whom He knew were going to spread His word and write the Bible. The Bible was written by approximately 40 men of diverse backgrounds over the course of 4000 years. Despite being penned by different authors over 40 centuries, the Bible does not contradict itself and does not contain any errors. The authors all present different perspectives, but they all proclaim the same one true God, and the same one way of salvation—Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). In John 8:58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" The above verse speaks a lot about who Jesus really is. All about Jesus and the Holy Trinity explained in the below website. http://jesustrinity.blogspot.com Lots of videos, sermons, songs are also present, along with all of Jesus miracles, his parables, and questions on his birth, crucifixion, resurrection are answered. Many major questions on Christianity are answered with lot of examples that cannot be denied by anyone, such as, 1) Did Jesus really exist? Is He God? Why did He suffer on the Cross? 2) What is so special about Jesus? Why cant I just view him as an ordinary man or a teacher or a prophet? Why should I see him as God? Pasting a small part from the website. Visit the website to strengthen your faith in Jesus or to know more about Him. Jesus is God. 1.Thomas calls Jesus God in John 20:28 (Note, Thomas addresses Jesus specifically.) 2. Jesus is God in Heb. 1:8 3. John the apostle states that Jesus was the Word which was God that became flesh (John 1:1-14) 4. The phrase "Call upon the name of the LORD" (Hebrew, YHWH, i.e., Psalm 116:4) used only of God on the OT, and translated into the Greek in the LXX as "Call upon the name of the LORD (greek, KURIOS)," applied to Jesus in the NT (1 Cor. 1:2) Jesus is God in flesh 5. The apostle John says that Jesus was , "…calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God," (John 5:18) 6. Jesus said that He and the Father are One (John 10:30), that caused the Pharisees to claim that Jesus was making Himself out to be God. 7. Jesus knew all things (John 21:17) 8. Jesus knew all men (John 16:30) 9. Jesus is everywhere (Matt. 28:20) 10. Jesus Christ, dwells in you (Col. 1:27) 11. Jesus is the exact representation of the Nature of God (Heb. 1:3) 12. Jesus is eternal (Micah 5:1-2) 13. Jesus gives eternal life (John 10:27-28) 14. Jesus is our only Lord and Master (Jude 4) 15. Jesus is called the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) 16. Jesus is called the Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6) and "God" also be called the Mighty God in Isaiah 10:21 17. Jesus is able to raise Himself from the dead (John 2:19-21) 18. Jesus created all things (Col. 1:16-17), it is God who created all things by Himself (Isaiah 44:24) 19. Jesus searches the hearts and minds of the people (Rev. 2:23) 20. Jesus is worshiped (Matt. 2:2-11; Matt.14:33; Matt.28:9; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6) Only God can be worshipped (Matt. 4:10) (same Greek word for worship is used in each place.) 21. In the OT God was seen (Exodus 6:2-3;Exodus 24:9-11; Num. 12:6-9; Acts7:2), yet no man can see God (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18). It was not the Father that was seen in the OT (John 6:46). Who, then were they seeing? See John 8:58. 22. Jesus claimed the divine name, "I AM", for Himself in John 8:58 see Exodus 3:14. 23. Jesus says you must honor him even as you honor the Father (John 5:23). 24. Jesus gives life (John 5:21). 25. Jesus bears witness of Himself (John 8:18;John 14:6). 26. Jesus is the One who will judge you on judgement day (John 5:22-23). Only God can be the judge. 27. Jesus forgives sins (Luke 5:20) (Luke 24:47,Acts 10:43) .Only God can forgive sins. http://jesustrinity.blogspot.com

I don't like being touched by strangers.

It was friend of mine who's passed. See the thing is, I was asking them to come to me in my dreams. Also asking my guide and anyone above listening, to please let me remember it when I woke up. I said "Please come to me, let him see me. And most importantly I want to remember everything about it when I wake up. I want to know it happened and it was real." That was for a couple of weeks. I felt them with me but it wasn't what I was asking for. I wanted to SEE them, TOUCH them in a dream, on another plane where we could meet in the middle. (their spirit) I was laying in bed one night and as I was resting my head I asked again to see him, for him to come to me in a dream. You know how even if your eyes are closed you can still kinda see some light coming through? I had that (nightlight for my daughter in my room) but I saw a shadow coming over me, instead of freaking or getting startled like I normally would I just let my eyes fall deeper and let it come. I then heard someone call my name (like from far away) which again usually startles me straight up in bed but it's like I knew who it was. I called his name back and my body went wild! My eyes were rolling around in my head, I couldn't control em. It started at my hands and then up my arms, to my head all the way down to my feet; vibration, energy, numbing and I felt VERY heavy. But I felt soooooo loved it brought tears to my eyes but I was smiling so big through my tears. Tears of happiness. I just know it was him. It was amazing and then I slowly got all my feeling back and was back to normal and I was kinda cramped up after it and had to stretch out. I was so heavy during it, I couldn't barely move. But I loved it. I think he did it while I was awake so I would remember it. I wasn't sleeping, it wasn't a dream. I was WIDE awake, it was at like 1:00am and I couldn't sleep I was just talking to him and then it happened. I had tears coming out of my eyes, I felt myself smiling, I was talking to him out loud as this was happening. I know cuz I opened my eyes once or twice just to see if I could see anything and got upset at myself cuz I didn't want to ruin it by looking. I still couldn't fall asleep after that, I was buzzing still. I couldn't stop thinking about it I was wired, practically in Heaven. Hope you one day get this same feeling, whether from someone you loved who's passed, your Spirit Guide, God or Jesus. I still can't get it out of my mind, I think about it all the time, remembering it. I am completely blessed. :)

Well my first experience with the Holy Spirit was when I was going through a rough experience in my life my life was in chaos and total darkness. I cry to the Lord for help and there He was with open arms as I was comforted by his spirit. It's something i never felt before in my whole entire life, it was joyful, peaceful and you develop a desire within to seek God's face and have a closer relationship with Him. I was at at Y.C.Belize program where christian comes from abroad and have a conference service.I was going through a devastating process in my life that i was looking for God until i finally found my self there at the conference looking for answers "WHO IS GOD" and I know that He forgives us for our sins so i want to hear from him and so it happen i gave my heart to the Lord and something miraculous happen I felt a sweet spirit of peace love joy etc.. filled my life I worship the Lord like never before sing, dance, and prayers to the Lord and I knew he was there protecting me from all harm and danger by this time i could hear the voice of the Lord speaking to me and guiding me in the right direction. I am grateful that he care for me so much to lift me out of the miry clay and set me upon a rock.

The holy spirit is nothing but a made up idea, given credit to anytime someone has an emotional experience in relation to indoctrination. It is just another clever trick for the purpose of making that Christian crap seem real.

The Holy Spirit guides me everyday. I don't know exactly when it happened, but my life has been transformed; my way of thinking about things. It is very overwhelming, but wonderful to know.

Well, let me tell you! :) Since receiving the Holy Spirit I find it much easier to subjegate women and have found that my homophobic tendencies are nothing more than GOD speaking to me directly!

I received a baptism of the Holy Spirit simultaneously with water Baptism. I was already born-again Christian for wile and I really desired a closer walk with God and specifically seeking to be baptized by Holy Spirit. Before I was immersed in the water, I prayed to God that the one that get’s out of water would be a new person and to learn to be obedient to Him. My Wife followed me and basically prayed the same thing. The change to both of us was incredibly, the moment we got out of the water, we could “barely” contain the joy we felt. We felt clean, light and the presence of God was all around us. The service continued the praise and worship for at least two hours following the baptism. There were others with us baptized at the same time, and they have experienced the same joy we did. After we finally made it home, we could not sleep. We hugged, cried hugged our kids and each otter and constantly thanking God for honouring our prayer and showing up. Next morning I got up, got my chainsaw, cut down my bar in the basement, and turned it into a play table for kids. I dumped all my booze down the sink. That was only the beginning…God did honour our prayer, and since, four grown up children and 6 grandchildren and the joy is still in our hearts just as the day we got it when we got baptized by the Holy Spirit. Truly, it is an experience one cannot “ever” get over it or use to it. In Christ..

When I was a new innocent Christian I prayed for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. The next day I accompanied a Pastor and another person on a large boat in the Ocean. They were there to pray. Went to the front of the boat to escape the noise from the motor and began to sing. Anyone who knows me is aware I am not a great singer. However the voice I sang in another language was perfect, clear and on key with an incredible range. High notes I did not think were possible as well as low and everything in between. I believe it was a song of praise and prayer. I was lifted up inside for lack of better words to describe the experience. Totally in the spirit. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and again confirmation of many things regarding the Lord. For a very long time I wondered why the others on the boat were not privy to the miracle I experienced. They were praying at the back of the boat and were unable to hear me over the noise from the motor. In years to come after seeing the gross in the flesh misuse and false teaching regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit did I come to some understanding why. When you have experienced the real deal, the false is very obvious. If a person has not had the experience they can be led astray very easily. Can't even count the number of people I have seen who desire what they observe in others then mimic. Then assume way too much instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to reach inside and minister to them in an individual manner.
