HE SPEAKS THROUGH OPENING
our literal TOUCH

Many experience their sense of touch being opened, especially while operating in the Word of Knowledge in the I Corinthians 12 gifts.  They can feel warmth in their body where the Lord is healing someone else.  While in prayer and intercession, some feel in their body the wounds of another.  I have also heard testimonies where someone who was being healed literally felt His hand touch them.  Some have felt angels arms next to theirs during worship.  

I was in a meeting where the speaker was calling out Words of Knowledge, and a member in the audience stood up and said, “There's someone here who has a strong pain in their right shoulder!  Please come, so I can pray for you, as I have to get rid of this pain!”  He knew the pain in his shoulder was not his own, and sure enough a lady came forward.  It was quite humorous, since the meeting was being conducted by an out of town guest who was fluent in prophesy and Words of knowledge.  He laughed too and the meeting went on while the man in the audience came forward and prayed for the woman.

I have heard of people who in prayer and deliverance, their sense of touch is opened and they literally feel and grab the demon, wrestle with it, and hurl it away.

One time when I was in the swimming pool I heard the Lord say, “I repaired your bursa.” I thought He meant past tense.  As it turned out, I came down with severe bursa pain, tendonitis and cramping that night.  I woke with severe pain in my left shoulder and arm and cried unto the Lord for a couple hours.  An angel came to me and I turned my head to acknowledge him.  I felt his hand literally touch my shoulder and press into it and the pain immediately left and I was able to let down and fall asleep. 

IN HIS CLOUD

I have had several experiences in the Lord’s glory cloud.  One time in a vision I saw the cloud of the Lord rolling in on the glory train tracks.  It was revealed to me that the train was inside the cloud and being covered by His cloud.  The cloud was moving the same speed as the train and with the train. 

Then His cloud was literally in our room.  I was awake and literally breathing in the vapor of His cloud into my nose.  I began to breathe very deep to breathe Him inside.  I was worshipping Him, and after a while He literally opened my sense of smell and I smelled strong incense.  It was the same smell that I had smelled at Mahesh’s Watch of the Lord meeting when Pastor was praying over the prayer clothes.  He spoke many special Words while I was in His cloud. 

Another time, the Lord opened my senses.  I literally felt the Lord’s cloud come into my room and could literally feel the moisture touch my face.  I could feel the cool Presence and moisture go down my nose and nostrils, as though I had put my face in front of a vaporizer.  Then as I breathed in the air, I could smell it’s purity and freshness.  As the experience occurred, I knew it was the Lord’s glory cloud.  I had breathed His very Presence. 

"And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.  And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." (Ex 34:5-7 KJV)

HE SPEAKS THROUGH TOUCHING OUR SENSES

Hebrews says, "For we have not an high priest which cannot BE TOUCHED WITH THE FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Heb 4:15-16 KJV)

That sentence is a little hard to understand because it is written as a double negative. In the positive, it is saying that Jesus WAS/IS touched with the feeling of our infirmities. The Holy Spirit quickened that verse as I was thinking about the tangible feelings that come with many intercessory experiences. The phrase, "be touched with the feeling of" is actually one Greek word, sumpatheo. (Strongs 4834) It means to feel sympathy or commiserate. I traced that word back to it roots and found something quite interesting. It comes from 2 words meaning to companion or associate with an experience, sensation or impression, usually painful. (Strongs 4862 & 3958) Now that is an interesting definition for those touched by intercession that is birthed by the Holy Spirit! They have experienced this as very real.

We are called to be like Jesus, Who is the greatest Intercessor. As intercessors, we will sometimes feel physical things in our bodies, or experience emotional sensations, and have instinctive impressions of either the room we are in, or the person/ issue we are praying for. This is not supposed to be a unique experience, this is actually the very heart of intercession — to feel and know what touches God’s heart. He feels these things and we are allowed brief moments to companion with Him in prayer.

Some call these experiences words of knowledge, some call them discernment, some call them warfare, some call them intercession, some call it responding to His Presence. Actually this gift is all of the above. Some may feel various physical infirmities or pain in their body. Some may feel anger, lust, fear, anxiety, ambition, impatience, joy, peace, compassion, etc. Some may sense a coldness in the room, or heat, or a gentle wind, or slight tingles in their hands, or on their head, or any number of experiences.

Human beings naturally feel all of these things. The difference for intercessors is that they do not own these feelings. It is a sudden download, whether strong or gentle, it is a happening that in one minute it is there and another it is not. It is connected with a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, to the person we are in proximity with, to someone placed upon our heart, or to the environment in a room, etc.
