Hello guys,
I really don’t know where to start writing pertaining the SUPERNATURAL WRITING CONTEST by . I have seen couple of post before now but I felt inspire to join the contest when I read the entry of
.
Talking about the supernatural, I feel the supernatural is an everyday occurrence to me. I see supernatural happens every day around me to me and even through me. Like I always say to myself I believe the supernatural. I believe in Sign, Wonders and Miracles. I believe there are forces around the human environment that our eyes may not see but they are as real as my friend @Emmaxx sitting close to me as I am writing this post right now. I believe the supernatural can be made tangible and we can even relate to it if we will.
Let me start by saying I am a Christian and to me Christianity is not a religion so don’t expect me to preach religion here. I will share some of my experiences pertaining the supernatural before and after I became a Christian. Like I said before now I see so many supernatural things happen around me so I will share so many supernatural experiences that I have encountered.
So let get started…
The first distinct supernatural experiences that I ever encountered started when I was about 14 years old. I was still in secondary school then. It was during my Junior Secondary School examination. I was this young regular rough and playful guy. I was the clown of the class. Although I was playful, I was very intelligent and loveable. I was loved by all my teachers and I must confess I was loved by all my friends.
I go to church but I wasn’t a Christian. “I was a religious boy” who knew little or nothing about the God I choose to serve or believe in. I go to church because here in Nigeria especially in the Southern part of Nigeria where we see it as a norm to go to church. A person who doesn’t go to church is seen as an unbeliever while anybody who goes to church was generally categories as a Christian. I stand to say now that that’s not true.
My experience happened when I was in my room. I was reading a Christian literature that calls one to salvation. It was so touching and I felt carried away. The only thing I could remember after reading that book was that I went into another realm. I don’t know what to call it. I don’t know if it was a trance or I saw a vision. Although when I recovered I remember all I saw in the trance or vision.
The Trance
I didn’t know what or who took me there. I saw myself carried into the cosmos. I was standing but I don’t know what I was standing on. There was total blackout everywhere. I couldn’t see anybody or anything. I felt alone and scared. Feared gripped me as I imaged what I was doing in such a place. The most amazing thing was that I was conscious of who I was. I was conscious of where I was sitting in my room but at the same time100% conscious of where I was.
When I turned to look around I was a yellow blanket above where I stood. The blanket was like one that was held in the four edges but when I looked closely there was no one holding it although it was suspended there. On the yellow blanket, were lots of loads. It was so heavy that I was about to fall on me. I couldn’t run from underneath the blanket.
When I turned to my left I saw the most scary and horrible view of my life. I saw a tunnel afar from where I stood. From where I stood I could see the flames that came from the tunnel. Let me make it easy to understand. If you look at cave from afar off where fire is turn on and then you see the glow as a result of the fire that was on. That was how it look like although it was more more scary. I can liken it to hell as we are taught in church. I believe it was hell. I heard shouting, screaming and cries of tortured people. It was an awful sound I which I wouldn’t want to hear again in my entire life. I felt so scared.
It didn't didn't end there. At my right, I saw from afar a celestial city gate. It's view was indeed heavenly. I could feel the joy that beamed from the sight of it. Every terror was gone. All grief and pain I felt disappeared. I saw the radiance of light reveal a glory I have never seen before. I would definitely want to see this part of my supernatural experiences over and over again.
After I saw this celestial habitation, I heard a voice that talked to me of my wrongs. I heard I was given a second chance to change from my wrongs. Prior to this time, I was only a church guy who was has never received Christ as his savior.
When I woke from the trance I still remembered everything. At that point I saw a need to accept Jesus as Lord and savior. Accepting Jesus brought my life to an open world of the supernatural. This experience has brought me to countless supernatural experiences time won’t permit me to share.
I remembered when I was still becoming acquainted to the Holy spirit, I was reading a book Good Morning Holy Spirit by Benny Hinns. I was studying on how to build a better relationship with him. When I was reading that book, I felt the supernatural power of God flowing through me. I felt the Holy Spirit close to me. I didn’t relate to him as a force as people teach him to be. I saw him as person. I talked to him as man would talk to his friend though I didn’t see him. The most amazing thing about this supernatural experience was I asked the Holy Spirit if he could touch me. I wanted to feel his touch and surprisingly to me he did. I knew he was there but to feel him touching me was way too much for me to believe he would grant for a request.
Conclusion
The supernatural is near you in your environment. Only opening yourself to it will make you experience it.
Thanks for reading
