My Spiritual Weekend

    Friday night my church had a worship service. Not many people showed up, but I still hoped for an amazing time with others 🙌 I did briefly contemplate whether to go or not as I had not been sleeping well for some time. Yet, I still felt fine after work, and not too tired so I went.
    

    I felt compelled to sit towards the back even though less than a dozen people seemed to be there. I actively participated at the beginning, singing along with everybody 😄 Soon afterwards, I opened up spiritually and then found myself sitting down on my chair as the Holy Ghost pored Himself into me. He proceeded to put me into a lounging position, and seemingly covered me up like a blanket. 

    I felt like I was sleeping, yet I could still hear the worship going on around me and remained in that state for the rest of that service. I was spiritually resting, but my physical body was still active. Once I was disengaged spiritually, I felt like I had taken a nap. Yet the odd thing was that I did not physically sleep at all.

    Saturday morning, I had divine encounters with Uber drivers as I went the gym while my car was being serviced. That whole day I was in a weird double-state where my physical body was doing its own thing, and my spirit was doing something else entirely. It is hard to explain, but the best way I can describe it was that it felt like I was in two places at the same time 👻 

    I still did not get much sleep Saturday night, and did whatever I could to pass the time Sunday morning. I engaged with the Holy Spirit intimately, and eagerly anticipated an incredible time of worship later at church. The spiritual level was already at a high level in the sanctuary when I first engaged the Holy Spirit again. I helped raise the worship into an even higher intensity, and was excited at the possibility of the shekinah glory coming down 🙇 However, the Holy Spirit proceeded to disengage me and place me in the previously-mentioned double-state. It was not what I was expecting, but I did not fight it and simply soaked in His Presence.

    I could not help but wonder why He placed me in that position and was eager to see His fire fall down. It was a little odd being in one place spiritually while the rest of the congregation was in another. The message was surprisingly delivered by the worship leader who then shared his emotional journey 😢 Looking back, I can now see how drastically different things would have been if I did help raise the worship to an extremely high level. The worship leader would not have been able to share what he did, and God would not have been able to accomplish what He wanted to do.

    I did have to spend a few minutes recollecting myself once the service was done. Interestingly, before I could leave the building, a woman stopped me saying the Spirit told her to pray for me. She then prophesied something that I had just recently went through. Later her husband joined in and gave a similar prophecy. I appreciated it, but was confused why I was prophesied things that were no longer relevant. God then told me the prophecies were more for their benefit, and not to think too much about what they had said.

    I later realized I had experienced what it was like to exist outside of time. My physical body was in the present, but then I was also in the past ministering to others. I had also been taken to the future when I was placed in the double-state position. I cannot explain what it was like intellectually at the moment. Just know that I appreciated the encounter, and look forward to where God continues to take me. 👼
