Are you really saying you are as likely to encounter a demon as a priest diddling a altar boy?

True, but personal insults are against the rules at TrekBBS.
Warning for Flaming. Comments to PM.
And by the power vested in me by Bonz's moratorium on controversial Topics, I now bring the petty bickering to an end.
At the request of the OP, I'm going to give this Thread another chance. Please don't make me regret it. Let's keep the Thread on Topic and talk about your peak experiences of whatever variety they may be, and keep it civil. Thank you.

Some of you will probably think I'm crazy, but I just feel compelled to share about this awesome experience. I was at church when I felt the holy spirit on my heart like never before, and seconds later I could hear a man in one of the backrooms having a demon driven out of him by God. I could just feel God in the church. The love that God gave me during that time was just amazing, I was just so overwhelmed from the sheer joy of what He was doing!!
That's wonderful, Michael! The joy felt in such an experience is truly indescribable, and it leaves a lasting impression upon those it touches. God bless.

Good decision! Here's some additional input.
I was raised Catholic but it never really set in for me. However, when I was in church with a Christian girl I was dating years ago something great happened. The first time I walked into that church something changed. It was like I had come home.
A few weeks after that I felt the power of Christ enter my heart and it was done. I finally got it. Since that day my life has been completely different, for the better.
Also, looking in my infant daughter's eyes has also filled me with the love of God. And that happens every day.
Thanks for starting this MC and thanks for keeping it open RJ.

Not to step on Michael's toes, but I want to field this one.
You've got that love, Squiggy.
It's like the love of a mother or father. Even when you're away, far away, from them, that love still exists, and you don't have to be aware of it to be the recipient of that love. In Michael's case, he called "Dad" and "Dad" told him how much he loved him so that he was aware of it.

A statement of faith shouldn't be enough to cause this kind of stuff. I mean, there's "Today I became way better than you sinners as you all burn in hell while I watch from heaven. Ha!" and "I experienced a wonderful part of my faith today and I wanted to share it with the people I consider part of this community." Michael's post falls into the latter.

That's not the way I put it when I got back from the Buddhist meditation center. It was more like, "I hung out with a bunch of Hippies and then we mooned some people."

That sounds like fun. I need to try that sometime.

I would like to know what the sound "of a man in one of the backrooms having a demon driven out of him by God" actually sounds like and how you tell it fro other sounds?
Did you actually hear it with your ears or did you hear the sound just in your head?

Well, I think the love is always there, but it was shown to me while I was just praying in thankfulness for everything that God has given me. I also think it was because the Holy Spirit was really involved with that morning. A woman began speaking in tongues which was interpreted, soon after everyone began to hear the man in one of the rooms behind the stage screaming and yelling. I don't remember what he said, but I was aware of cries of desperation. I was just in prayer at that time overcome with joy. I had my eyes shut so I didn't know what was happening on the stage, but apparently the pastor had gone to see what was going on. This was all before the sermon, and then the pastor did the sermon and confirmed to me that there was indeed a battle occurring at the time and that God was working in the back room.
Oh it was quite a real noise. It was screaming and yelling, I don't remember what it said but it sounded quite desperate. How I differentiated with any other sound was basically that God told me what was going on. Not in a physical voice, but I had an instant understanding that it was in fact a demon long before the pastor mentioned it.
