Pastor John,
I had an experience from Jesus this morning that I had never had before. I awoke at 1:25 am and could not go back to sleep. So I got up and went to the living room and lay on the couch and talked to the Lord. I was having thoughts when talking to Him that I wanted to be closer to Him than I had ever been and I wanted Him to fix whatever needed to be fixed so we could be so close that I could talk to him like Moses did. While talking to the Lord I could not get situated so I knelt beside the couch, then I got on my hands and knees and finally I was standing praising Him and speaking in tongues. While standing I was having feelings stronger than I had ever felt that he really was King and Lord and my Savior. When I finally laid back down on the couch I was still having those feeling and thoughts. Then I had a new experience from the Lord I had never had before. I realized there was a sweet smelling aroma in the room that I had never smelled before. (I was not asleep or dreaming, I was wide awake.) The sweet smell stayed for a while and gradually faded away as the strong feeling of who Jesus is faded away. Even though I knew that I had had an experience with Jesus it was like I was in shock by what happened. I started smelling my hands and around the room to see if the smell was still there but it was gone. Then I went back to bed at 2:24 am and lay there thinking about what had happened until I drifted off to sleep. I remember wondering if the Lord had come so close that the sweet smell filling the room was His presence?

It sounds like it to me, Randell. My, what a glorious experience! I think it was for all of us, even though it was given to you. Thanks for the testimony.
