I think every Christian at some point has an encounter with God that affirms God in a living and tangable way. My moment was with a childhood friend more than ten years ago. She had been through some difficult times and had different beliefs than myself. We were mainly catching up, when I casually mentioned that sometimes lights flicker or go out when I enter a room. It began to bother me, so I had been praying for God to take this fear, to not allow Satan to play with my mind. The strange occurrences continued...she immediately wanted to perform a Wiccan ritual with me to see if someone had put a spell/bind on me. I knew that God was pulling at my heart, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings and I justified it as a way to reach out to her and share my faith in a new way. As you can imagine a few minutes into caling spirits, my heart was racing and The Holy Spirit was now screaming at me to turn from this sin and pray. Something, unsure of what exactly scared me that I flew up blew out a candle and grabbed my friend and drug her out of the room. We were not alone in there and as I shut that door I knew that we had invited a presence into my parents home that only God could remove. She was, I think, angry with me for "breaking the circle" I held her hands and began to pray. As I did a presence tried to pull her from me, and at the same time I felt the protection from God and the strength to clutch her hands. God interceded for me, I do not remember any words from my mouth, but we melted to the kitchen floor weeping. Our eyes were closed and light filled the room, intense heat came from my hand, and it was an incredible gift. This is one of my most precious memories, other than giving birth it is the closest I have ever felt to my Lord and Savior. Thanks to Facebook, I have reconnected with my old friend and I asked her if she remembered this moment. She wrote me, " I totally remember...there was this crazy heat coming off of our hands... :) Wow..." Thanks "A" for sharing this with me I think about you often, I will never stop praying for you! Praying with someone else always blesses both!
