Yesterday started as any normal day at church, we walk around and greet eachother and the visitors after being separated for a week, followed by worship. On many a given sunday i can feel the Holy Spirit move through our church, but yesterday it was so very very strong. The songs came and with each passing minute i began to feel more and more the wonder/glory/awe/joy erupt and wash over me and i tried to hold onto it once our pastors' sermon began, the whole while i was trembling with exertion trying to contain the Holy Spirit's message until i could hold on no more and i began to testify before the church. The message was "the Lord has NOT forgotten us, he is coming right now, we WILL be rescued, make way, make way for the King is coming!" The message was so urgent and desperate i felt as though it was a warning for us to hold fast and be ready, and i immediately hit my knees and knelt in front of the altar, i felt as though i was indeed in the presence of our King, and all i wanted to do was kneel down and never get up.

Afterwards when service was ending i talked to my pastor and described to him what i was feeling, of the joy and awe, of feeling like i was in the presence of Jesus himself in all his Glory, that while trying to hold onto the message i could feel my spirit battling my body during worhip and the summon, my spirit was literally catching a glimpse of heaven and it was the most wonderful feeling in the universe. I felt like a star had burst into life inside me and i began to get hotter and hotter on the outside, the Holy Fire felt like i was being consumed and if i held onto his message any longer i thought i would burst into flames. At the end i was left feeling drained, like i had just took on a wrestling match with someone 10 times my size and 10 times my weight, and my pastor told me when the Holy Spirit comes to go ahead and surrender, even if it is during service, for the message it gives is more important than his because its coming from the Lord himself.

Be ready, it will not be much longer, our Lord's day draws near, in our lifetimes. Have courage and hold fast, soon we can go home!

can we have a date, or should we just hold our breaths until we die?

That's good news ! something we all need

I've been wondering if anyone good was paying attention

Jesus is making haste

Why is He making haste? Are we in some kind of danger?

I dont mean to knock your beliefs, but when you can explain to me why an all seeing all powerful god that knows everything and is everything needs someone to act on his behalf, then i will listen a little more to what you have to say.

If you research the foundations of your religion, you may well learn something and also be quite surprised at what is revealed to you, i think that would be more of a revelation for you.

Enjoy

let's stay on topic.

op said jesus comes soon, then he/she said he/she doesnt know when.

not much of a prediction, this should be in the rant section or in the gray area.

You do realize that people have had these feelings and have been making this claim since he first stated he would return.

They have continually been proven wrong. So I'm curious why you are certain you are correct when these other people were just as certain.

Sorry all thats out there is The Wizard of Oz,advanced occult technologies,smoke.mirrors black magic,psychotronic warfare crews and evil spirits sounds like you had a kundalini experience but I
can tell you there aint no Jesus,Kingdom of Heaven,Blessed saints or anything else its all a software package
that tunes you into a false reality,owned lock stock and barrel by the powers that be,God forbid you develop any real talent or capability its a truly demented and dangerous videogame for those of us that have.

What you experienced is a hypnotic effect caused by a mixture of prayer, singing and emotion evoked during Mass. Similar effects can be seen in the revivalist and black congregations. You basically heard and saw what you expected presented in the form of beliefs you adhere to. There is nothing new you received that is not already in your head. It's a mental image or sound based on ideas you already hold.

If anything you had a meditative experience, the same effect can be had by focusing on a dot whilst keeping awareness on the experience you're trying to evoke (ie Jesus or Gods love). I would suggest you practice this as it's an excellent practice for the subconscious to sort and organize experiences which in turn allows you greater spiritual freedom and growth.

I would not be so fast as to call it a prophecy or a mystical experience. An enlightening experience, in relation to your beliefs maybe, divinely inspired most probably not. Sorry.
