Today, I had an encounter with God. It wasn't like any other times. It was something different than the last few times.
First, I felt myself crumbling. My heart started pounding faster and faster. When Pastor Steve touched me, it was as if someone triggered of a spark in me. The next thing I knew, I was heaving very heavily . Very heavily. And then it slowly fade away. I knew at that time all I could think of was, "Don't go. Stay."
Then it was total numbness.
Everything was going on, moving around me. I could hear voices people talking. But there I was. Unable to move. Unable to talk at all. I wanted to suck in the drool that i know was about to fall but i couldn't. I lose total control of my body. It was like I, I've been paralyzed. My head was a total blank. I wanted to suck in the drool but someone was telling me, not too. Let it fall, don't care about anything around you. And sat there, unable to move. All this time I was crying out in my head, "Pray for me, pray for me"
My head started lowering, till it hit my chest.
The next thing I knew was that my leg started trembling. my left first, then the right. It started shaking vigorously and then it stopped. I woke up smiling. Smiling like never before.
I got up and walked towards Paster Paul and asked him to pray for me. I fell to my knees before he started. My legs were like jelly. He started praying and then it was the hand, then the whole body. It felt like my whole body was not in my control any longer. I was like jelly, and there was something controlling me. Controlling each and every movement. I knew i was on the floor, kneeling down and then laying down. I don't know how long i was on the floor for. I could her people talking, asking me if I was alright. Pastor explaining to them how it was not good to wake someone up.
I could her them talking, but my mind was blank. I switched positions quite a couple of times. But when I got up, i knew i was smiling, I felt joy in the heart. I couldn't stop smiling. I felt like a child reborn. My whole body still felt numb. Still not in my control, still jelly. I knew I got up, only to fall onto the ground again. There was joy.
Just joy. Just like a newborn child
I did things that were not in my control. It was an experience i know I will never forget.
There's so many things, so much i could say to express the joy. this joy i feel.
Ask me, and i shall speak.
Seek him. Seek him. Seek him.
I don't now what tomorrow holds. But I know that for now, for this time being, I'm refreshed. Whatever tomorrow holds, I shall not liveby them. I shall put everything in his hands.
Another thing I've learnt, Simple faith. Sometimes simple faith can be mistaken for arrogance and people fear them. But with faith, really, nothing is impossible.
So people out there. Even if there's no encounter with God, there'll be one day. You've just got to wait and that one day will come knocking at you at the most unexpected, most amazing time. And when that time comes, lose control of yourself and let God be in control.
