One Sunday our pastor preached on peace. I knew I needed more peace in my life. Frankly, I hardly knew what it was. My life is not peaceful. My soul and head were not full of peace, but I knew there was a spiritual peace because the Bible speaks of it. It is a motif in the Bible. The pastor gave everyone the opportunity to pray after the sermon.
I made my way down to the small altar.
Something weird and wonderful happened. I did feel God’s peace briefly and His presence, then—I felt a benign “lighting bolt” go into my body, starting at the top of my head!
Don’t ask me to explain anything more or even back this up with the Bible. God is a miracle worker (Ps. 77:14, NIV). He is also sovereign.
This is just a small encounter with our wonderful savior, Jesus. I have felt different ever since. Remember, Jesus said that healing is the children’s bread (Mat 15:23–27, ESV).
