Have you had a Religious Experience?

Hello everyone!

I'm pretty interested in religious experiences (doing an A Level in it) but we don't have much real life stories and I'd like to hear about things that have happened to people.

So yeah, if you would like to share I'd be really appreciative of it!

What happened?
Which religion are you part of?
Has this changed?
What kind of impact has this had on your life?

Thanks in advance!

Everyday life is a religious experience if you know what to look for, I can't think of anything that God did not have a hand in.

What's an A level?


This person of the opposite sex once made me levitate off a chair. That was a pretty religious experience. Touching one of Jimi's guitars was another.

Sorry, that's about all I have.

Good luck in your quest.

If you saw God in those things it was indeed a religious experience and your were blessed by it.

I have never had a religious experience . You could always look into historical examples of people who converted to (enter name of religion here ) under adverse conditions if its up your alley of research .

A few years ago I was practicing Wicca. I was a total beginner and I was trying to figure out who to work with (which deity). So I am working on Egypt and looking at the goddesses and gods when out of nowhere I get this warm feeling looking at this one specific picture of Isis. I hear this whisper and felt the most calm I ever had. So an hour later I took my daily nap and had this incredibly vivid dream with her in it showing me some things. (won't bore you with the details as they are personal and woke make any difference in this specific thread)

Vision? Wacky dream? Dunno but I am gonna go with my gut here. That is what I did and since then I have followed her faithfully

Wow thanks for all your examples.
I really appreciate everything!

And yeah, it's not for the A Level, just out of curiosity, really. I know rather a lot of famous examples

But yeah Kyo, your Avatar

I have had many encounters with Angels all my life.

It they were not there, I would not be typing this now.

If anyone is interested let me know I'll post one of them.

Angels are a fools best friend.

Do they count as a religious experience?

Yes, they do!

If you care to share any of your experiences go ahead

Yes, quite a few. The good kind AND the bad kind.

Hi everyone
It is avery good experience.As an Interfaith Organization, MSA contends that all belief systems, exempting harmful contemplations, contribute to the overall understanding of humanity and to a common bond of unity. It is also MSA's belief that ordination comes from God and as such, we are all Ministers of God.If u want know more visit ministerialseminary.com...
