So somewhere I visit a lot, there's a really weird atmosphere going around, I don't know if it's a prompting of the Holy Spirit.
I believe it very well is, because it was a very organic situation.

So, I kind of have noticed this guy somewhere and every time both of us walk past one another or have eye contact it seems like there may be a conversation that is needed to be had, or God is inviting a conversation about something?
I have three random scenarios in my head, this guy is
1. An atheist and God wants me to share the gospel with him.
2. He's a believer and God wants to have us talk or something.
3. He knows someone I know and God wants to have this as a door to talk about the gospel.
4. I am overanalyzing the situation and I should get back to work.

But I don't really think it's just me because the environment seems to change and I feel God's presence in a strong way.
His demeanor is very upright too, so he may be a Christian.

Another reason why I feel like God may be opening a door : My coworkers today were complimenting me like crazy and said that I looked like I was in love. Reason why that is weird is because I have been acting the same as I do everyday and I have never mentioned this to anyone .
Weird.
Perhaps you would want to be in love one day, maybe with this guy that you keep walking past.

Your coworkers were complimenting you like crazy? How does crazy compliment you?

Nah.... Maybe one of these days, a year or so from now, if we all happen to be out eating a cheeseburger together........ but never on a forum.
Forum is the best place to bare your soul as most of the people will never meet you so how could you ever possibly be embarrassed? Wait....I married one of those people....never mind...... sometimes you do really meet them and then there is a possibility to be embarrassed.....about getting together sometime for a cheeseburger our family would love to meet your family.....name the place and we can arrange the meeting....

The point of not divulging more than you may selectively choose to on a forum is the fact that everyone and his dog reads your post.

We just went through this very thing in class this morning. I recommended to the group that they consider the group members, perhaps, privy to certain details of their lives, but not "all" details, and certainly not their entire church. It's a shame, but not everyone on either a forum, or in our churches... or even in our own families, can be seen as trustworthy enough to know but certain things. And they don't even have to be "bad" things. Just things we don't need people criticizing or making fun of.

and everything ever typed on the internet, anywhere, any forum, any webpage, IS PERMANENT in that the gobberment,
koreens,
chneese,
rushans,
and
any good 10 year old hacker,

can access everything you've ever typed without too much effort. all the more easily also can banks(you might someday want to get an account with), businesses(you might someday want to get a job with),
police dogs (who can on any day they want come take you away),
so,

don't post publish or print online anything you wouldn't put in headlines on the new yourkie timees.


however, locally if not in the interweb, there should be enough information directly immediately available to convict you of being a
true follower of JESUS, eventually anyway.

ROMs can be swapped out. A board can only take a certain kind and amount of RAM.

I love it when you can't remember something but then hours later the answer comes like your sub-conscience did a brain scan and found the answer to come to the surface......love it....just happened to me the other day....
The other day? It happens to me every day.... except for those 36 times a day when I CRS, (can't remember stuff) no matter what.

Well... It's almost midnight. I should be in bed.

One thing I must confess... I think I've encountered the Holy Spirit at least once in my life. There was a feeling that felt like intense joy and you could feel it radiating throughout your body, almost like it couldn't be contained but at the same time you could. This lasted for a few days at best. Then I struggled as to what to believe or not a while after this experience. I didn't have the full idea of God back then, but something at that time when it happened made me feel happy about the thought of it.

I don't know if it is considered as blaspheming the Holy Spirit if one starts to deny and astray, though it was a little while after such experience. Maybe I'll never know, maybe I will.

Sis, God fought for my soul for almost 20 years.
God knew the battle would last decades... still He fought.
This is nothing but satan trying to scare you if you want an honest opinion. He is angry because you're now with God and is looking how to weaken you, how to steal your joy, how to cause you to doubt or render you ineffective as a Christian, or separate you from God anyhow he can. This would be the fruit of thoughts you're having. Look at the fruit to judge the origin.

From the context in the Bible, blaspheming the Holy Spirit would be to attribute His works to the devil.. not seeing that in what you shared.

Which will be solved in the end...

'As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats.

Apparently, God's grading on the curve.

with only this one post as reference, and anyway in all cases, the rest is up to yahweh for us all....

as it is written, usually said "the joy of the Lord is our strength" is better as "the joy of our union with YAHSHUA (Jesus Messiah)
is our strength." and as it is written "the truth shall set you free" after "ye shall know the truth" (for those who
get to know the truth -- not many)....
and
as yahshua says "i will never , never, never leave you nor forsake you" to those who are his disciples abiding in him (abiding = enduring through all suffering to the end without giving up or turning back). "
and
so on, again and again, throughout SCRIPTURE. (don't ever trust men's ideas apart from SCRIPTURE).

one of the points, if it isn't obvious, isn't obvious. and can't be known, unless the FATHER in HEAVEN reveals it. (HE SAYS SO (IN SCRIPTURE)) .

so keep on seeking the FATHER IN HEAVEN.... no matter what the cost. if you're not ready, make yourself ready or pray to be made ready right now, today.

then maybe, yes, (humanly speaking) just maybe, He will teach you the Truth.

the alternative is not pleasant.
