If You are a Cristian You used to feel the power of the Holy Gost upon You but now You are no longer feeling that presence and also You are no longer dreaming Yourself you are in Heaven?
Something that we must keep in mind is that we cannot feel spirit. How does a person feel spirit? They can't! What we feel is human emotional energy, and many in our churches today do not know the difference between emotional energy and the power of the Holy Spirit. I can remember when I first received Christ, I experienced what people call being "on-fire" for the Lord. You know, that feel good experience? But that was a human emotional response to the things of the Lord. That's what I felt. It was human emotion because I know that I cannot feel spirit. For example, we know that angels are spirit beings. Every believer has at least one angel around them all the time. We don't know how many, but there's at least one. But if you reach out, you cannot feel that angel.
It's the same with the Holy Spirit inside a believer. We cannot see Him, and we cannot feel Him. All we can have are emotional experiences. That experience may or may not be the result of the Holy Spirit working in our lives. But we know and trust that God's Spirit is still there and His Spirit in us is always working non-stop. We don't have to have a feeling to know He's there. That's what it means to live by faith. We don't have to see, and we don't have to feel anything.
There are people today who preach that you have to "feel" the power of the Holy Spirit. Again, you cannot feel Spirit. And then the congregation gets themselves worked up into a frenzy and says it's the Holy Spirit when in fact, it's just emotional energy. It's like the same emotional energy you see people expressing at a sporting event.
Please know that you do not have to "feel" anything in order to know that God's Spirit is in you. If you've been born of His Spirit, He's there, He will always be there, and He will always be working in your life.
May the Lord bless you also, which He does, and continues to do so with each and every one of us who love Him, who know Him, but most importantly are known by Him. All glory to Christ our Savior!
