In 2012 I had my first encounter with Christ. I'll keep it brief but its a very long story. It happened when I forgave my mom for personal stuff. An audible voice cut into my thoughts. "Now you understand my daughter" I heard. And yes it was extremely terrifying at first. A golden light filled the room. It was so intense I collapsed to my knees. I started to cry in terror honestly. I actually thought I was dying but the voice comforted me.
"Please. I'm like a child," I muttered, thinking I was going to die.
"You ARE a child" I heard the voice of God say which confirmed to me that he was actually literally speaking to me. His voice was deep and masculine.
When I asked God to please back off on the intesity, it did and honestly we were able to have an entire conversation. I was told Jesus IS God. I asked why I was so depressed all the time. "You forgot that I love you" he said.
Two years Later I had another intense experience but this time I was given a vision. Gid used symbolism that I could relate to and totally understand. It was political and had to do with the deep state and Obama but at the time I was not awake yet so it was confusing. But once things started happening in reality, I understood what God was trying to tell me. It's because of God that I am fully awake and unvaxxed today. It is because of God that I am fully saved and have eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven. I love him with all my heart mind and soul and I don't know why he picked me to speak to and to basically personally save. He told me you "must have faith" and now it's stronger than ever. Sorry for the long post. I just wanted to share that with you all :). God bless you all!
I'm sorry I typed this up from a phone and I'm half awake. I can assure you I mean no disrespect to GOD.
Not speaking for OP but to me it sounds like OP is saying the intensity backed off, not The Lord.
Actually it was merely a typo of my phone because I was half awake. I meant to say the intensity that I felt from GOD backed off a little and that's when we had an entire conversation. But honestly I'm used to being nitpicked. Its like people don't want to believe God spoke to me. They're phone typos for crying out loud. But as soon as I read that after I posted it I KNEW someone would point it out. I share my story to help others. Its up to them wether or not they want to recieve it. I am NOT religious but I have a relationship with Jesus. And Jesus does not care about typos. We don't have to walk on eggshells around him. That would not be love. But apparently we have to walk on eggshells around other "believers". I'm used to it.
I would imagine they meant when they asked God to be less intense because they were feeling overwhelmed, but that wording made me scratch my head a little as well.
If you read about other people with similar experiences- either of the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit, or the Father - both in the scriptures and throughout history, this is common - Isaiah fell as one dead in his vision. So did John when seeing the glorified Christ.
Think of someone bellowing versus whispering.
Fair enough, but it never hurts to be reminded.
