Hey everyone,

so go easy with me i am new snd not sure were to post. Also please go easy on me for what i am struggling with.
Good place to start is I guess at the beginning.
A little while ago i was really struggling with some family problems and it really did destroy me for a while. To cope i used to walk sometimes endless around where I live, literally just around the streets with constant thoughts racing around my head.

One day and I genuinely do not know why i found myself walking around the church gardens where i was married 32 years ago and again unsure why i found myself sitting in the church. Stayed for about an hour didn't talk to anyone just sat thinking. Anyway from then on for around 3 weeks went back everyday at some point during my walk never spoke to anyone apart from a few good mornings. Now i better just say I don’t think i was going there for any other reason than it stopped me from just pounding the streets and gave me time to think, i never considered praying for help or anything because i just was not religious in any way. Ok i used to sit there constantly thinking to myself i really would do anything for all my problems to sort themselves out and for me to try and get back to some sort of life again. So now for the strange thing or at least one if them. After a while of me sitting there I suppose you could say talking to myself in my messed up head, one day i had what I actually thought was a headache starting. But it was a strange feeling because it didn’t actually hurt, it was more of a feeling like something was gently pushing on my head but from the inside Really really strange feeling that I suppose left me feeling sort of relaxed, and I appreciate how this will sound becyit certainly does to me. Anyway after about 3 weeks things did take a really really sudden turn for the better, which i just thought was due to things just getting better through time and nothing else. Hey ho absolutely great i get back to sort of normal and i will admit never went back in to the church.

So here we were a while down the line thinking everything had happened because it just did and something really really strange happened to me. Not just me but someone who is even more of a non believer than me.
The person in question is a neighbour of sort snd he asked me one day if i could get him some bits out of his loft because he just couldn’t manage anymore on account of his legs. He could get up the ladder but not actually get off it in to the loft. Anyway he went up it to open the loft for me and while doing so rather stupidly in slippers he lost a footing. Did not come off it but nearly. So as he lost his foot i instinctively grab his calf to stop his foot. Now the strange bit. He sort of just stopped and said something about my nails scratching him which anyone who knows me will say impossible because i bite them to the skin. So he gets down and as strange and unbelievable as this sounds tells me i must have squeezed his leg or something because all the pain had gone he says just like that. Lots of jokes made and no more thought of it.
I genuinely didn’t give it a thought until 5 days ago. My Grandson fell over while we were walking my dog. So being a typical 8 year old it was the worse pain ever, but i must admit he did go down hard on his shoulder. So i tried the normal grandad thing and gave it a big grandad rub. Well i just don’t know what went on but he suddenly says grandad whats that funny feeling from your fingers. 9 year olds way of describing and then he says thats cool grandad does hurt a bit. So I suppose i did sort of think about the feelings in my fingers after my neighbour sort of saying about the feeling in his leg but the thought soon went. Anyway i am to stop this massive post going to say for various there have been 4 other lets call them episodes of this apparent funny feeling from my fingers when i have touched people and i dont mean because i knew someone had something wrong but innocent things like shaking hands with someone who suffered apparently with bad pain in his hand snd so he says he now does not.
So my reason for coming here is anyone know what is going on here
I am a complete non believer in this sort of thing or at least i was. It has never ever in my 58 years happened before and i am absolutely baffled. As i said i never went in to the church looking for anything apart from a seat and a bit of peace and come away with very very strange feelings and bang my problems get better and now apparently my fingers give people funny feelings and help them with things. Just to be clear it doesn’t happen with everyone but people who seem to have an ache or pain or two. I am extremely confused snd after lots of looking on the internet even more so so thought I have asked elsewhere so why not here.
Apologies for waffling but trying to put this in to something thst makes sense is very hard for me.
I have joined another site as i really need to try and make sense of this.
Thanks everyone

God will use anyone, anywhere, anytime to do his will. His will is that we be whole, healed, restored, well, etc. It sounds like He is working through you to bring healing, this is what we are all to be learning and growing in.
When Holy Spirit works through a person it can feel like electrical energy, sometimes heat, Jesus spoke of how most would have an outward form of godliness denying the power, it appears He desires to work through you to bring his power to manifest, accept it and grow in it. This is how you will stand before Him on that day and hear Him say, "well done, good and faithful servant".
This is the best, fastest, clearest, strongest, etc. ministry I know of and the one that brought immediate results from taking in and acting on. He gives his testimony at about 30 minutes of number two. Here in #1 he gives his preface to the teaching and what jumped out to me for you is how He works by giving us a little, letting it take root in us, then a little more.

God is real. You are seeing that there is something that is beyond logic and reason, but it is real. Now God has drawn you here to find some answers. Many of us can testify to miracles, to things that have happened that are beyond our understanding. God is giving you an opportunity to hear the good news: that it is possible to have a relationship with Him through faith in Jesus Christ. If you want to know more, we are more than happy to help you.

My friend there is God and he gives signs to his chosen. Now you have noticed this peculiarities in yourself. You need to put under all you have learnt about life and read the Bible.. There is a secret hidden in the open, that's what you will find out. You have gifts.. Continue to grow in the kingdom of God friend.

You're MOST pressing issue is that you say you aren't really a believer. So Here's THE Gospel unto Salvation. THEN, we can talk about the other stuff. Because none of the healing or other feelings and sensations you have mean ANYTHING in light of where you will spend eternity:

God wrapped Himself in human flesh in the form of His Son, Jesus the Messiah. Conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. He suffered, was crucified, and died to pay OUR sin debt. He was raised to life from the grave to prove He had defeated death. If you confess Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that His Father resurrected Him to Life on the 3rd day, you WILL be saved. You will be filled, and sealed with the Holy Spirit, who will empower ALL to turn from their sins. The sin of adultery, lying, stealing, homosexuality, gossip, slander, drunkenness, covetousness, etc... And most importantly the sin of DEAD works, or a moral life in an attempt to EARN Salvation. He will also equip you to love like He did and do good works for HIS Glory.

This sense of bafflement and confusion and needing to find answers in the face of your
disbelief is very much how I felt after God revealed Himself to me, not for the first time,
but in a way that made it imperative I respond. I was not a believer then, and was very
stubbornly set against all things to do with organized religion, anything Biblical, and
Christianity.


However, this was not that. He was calling me out of the world, and this calling at first
left me incredulous, and then terrified and at a complete loss. When I could not say
"Yes," I sat on the fence for months, feeling entirely stymied and unable to make a
decision, and then I started going to church after somebody explained to me Who
Jesus is. I had been brought up in a religious home but rejected all that as a teen.


In short, my whole world was turned upside down. My experience was quite different
from yours in the details but not in the feelings. I went to a lot of people looking for
answers to what had happened to me, and what I experienced. I can tell you, no non-
believer could give me a satisfactory answer, for they were (in my case) and are (in your
case) still locked in their denial of God and His plan for you by grace through faith in
the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ, that you may be reconciled to God and attain
to life ever after following the resurrection and judgment of all at the end of this age.


Yes, a lot to take in, and many things to admit that all this time you have in all respects
been wrong about. This is what it means to say our faith has overcome the world. Best
wishes to you and God speed responding in the affirmative to God. I was unable to do
so right away, but I did eventually :) I was almost fifty when I was baptized :D


Perhaps these videos will help you :) I was going through this course after I started
going to church when I realized I was no longer opposed to accepting the Truth of
God's Word. It was quite the process for me.





There are ten videos altogether. I hope you watch at least these three for now :D

If you are unfamiliar with the gospels, I also highly recommend this movie:

^ Gospel of John

Thread submissions need to be approved, and that takes time, especially
when mods are not available due to to their responsibilities elsewhere :)

Yes, two accounts can't have the same user name.
Your new threads need to be approved by mods before they show. That may be the issue you were seeing.
