Hi Joe,
It has happened to me a few times also, I became fearful and it stopped. Sometimes I have been told things. Not sure what to make of it. Time Stops, sounds are different, Joy runs over and I can hardly breathe.
Am I a kook?

After reading Joe's post, I thought to myself 'I am not like people here. Sometimes I am not as dedicated to the journey as others seem to be'. I wondered what words to use to express this. Then, lo and behold, I read Amrhrasach's post. That's it!!! That's exactly how I feel. I am so grateful for that post. Now I don't have to think.
Thanks AM and thanks Joe.
Brenda, yeah you're a kook :P NOT!

Good stuff!
Look at Mark 10:50 " And he, CASTING AWAY HIS GARMENT, rose and came to Jesus."
You and I hold things that are prideful and falsely try to take the place of God. We must and will cast them aside as we go to Jesus.

Hi Brenda,
If you are at least you have company! ;)
I think more folks have had this type of experience but are as reluctant to share it as those who see an Unidentified Flying Object or a Sasquatch type creature don't want to appear to be on the outer fringe.
To me this type of interaction with His Spirit knocks off a few more scales from our eyes, we see how we really are with no room for excuses or self justification, we see the stark contrast between His holiness and our own weak flesh, totally unvarnished and incomplete.
The following verses (like most) have multiple layers of truth contained within them, we have a certain unexplainable joy when we hear His Truth/Wisdom and begin to learn of His unfathomable love for creation, then when we are required to live (eat) the truth of what this creation process to Sons and Daughters entails, we experience the bitterness of seeing how far we have to go, which is all a part of this progression.
Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
Rev 10:9 And I went unto the angel and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
When we are living this book it truly is a bittersweet experience isn't it?
Peace,
Joe
kweli:
There's a verse I read a long time ago. It was some NT bible and I'm not sure if that's what it really says, but it went something like: The more you know, the more it hurts. If anybody knows this verse, please direct me to it. Because this is exactly how I feel now. Yet another great thread started by Joe. I dont know about a few more scales peeling off Joe, but I know it's bittersweet. Sometimes I think I cant handle the taste. But then HE always reminds me that this has absolutely nothing with my abilities.
Thanks again to everyone for what they shared on this topic.
All Glory to GOD
PS: Please dont forget to PM me the verse, if there is anything like that in the Scriptures
