When I asked God what it was, I heard, “The glory of God,” and realized that God has more for us than we can imagine. That is why I so often say the word “more” when praying for people.
1996
I brought home Rick Joyner’s prophetic book The Final Quest about end-time events. The book was so fascinating that I did not get up from the table until I had read it to the end.
After that, I began to pray, and the Holy Spirit came upon me in an unusual way. It was as if warm liquid were being poured over my head and then flowing down my entire body. I felt something like electricity in my body, along with a pleasant tingling. Something radical happened to me at that moment. In the middle of the night, I woke my wife, who was not yet a believer at the time, and began asking her to forgive me for everything I might have done to hurt her.
The Glory of God
That morning, something amazing happened to me…
I went outside, intending to walk to work (a 40-minute walk). Looking around, I saw a different world before me—warm, gentle, and safe. Everything was painted in extraordinary colors, vivid and beautiful. I walked along the road but could not feel it. It was as if invisible cushions were beneath my feet, and I was floating above the road. As I walked, I was filled with an extraordinary sense of safety.
I passed by trees, and it seemed to me that their branches were not sharp but soft. To test this, I reached out and squeezed one branch between my fingers, but felt no pain—the branch compressed in my hand like rubber. I experienced such extraordinary peace and calm as I had never known before. I walked slowly along the path, but it seemed to me that I was floating above the ground.
Suddenly, I remembered work and looked at my watch—it showed 8:50 a.m. I realized I needed to hurry because I was already late. After taking only a few steps, I suddenly found myself transported straight to the city center, to my workplace. I was sitting at my desk while employees hurried around me. My watch still showed 8:50. That day, I could not feel my body, as if I had been given an anesthetic injection.
All the employees treated me with love and respect. Whenever I was asked a question, the answer immediately came to me. My answers were accurate and correct. I didn’t need to think about what to say: the words flowed from me like water.
I remember a man who often criticized me and other Christians for believing in God approached me and once again said something unpleasant to me. Surprisingly calmly, I replied, “At the judgment, every person will answer before God for every word they have spoken.”
I had already said similar things to him several times and debated with him, but to no avail. This time, it seemed that God Himself spoke to him, because the man fell silent in fear and lowered his eyes. Then he apologized to me and left. From that day on, he changed completely and began to respect and defend me and other Christians.
