386. Vision, Prophecy, and Occurrence given to Raymond Aguilera on 4 November 1993 at 7:10 PM.

Vision:

During evening prayer in church, I had a vision of a serpent. It had the head of a rattlesnake with fangs, and it had something in its mouth.

Prophecy:

The Lord said, "The serpent has France in its jaws."

Occurrence:

During this prayer time the Lord just touched me. My hand started to shake and I felt the Presence of the Lord all over me. I felt like my body was going to fall or do something unexpected. I felt so good inside and felt like I was going to explode with joy. I was crying and tears were coming down my face. I didn't want to make a scene in church, so I got up as fast as I could, and walked out. I noticed people looking at me with curious eyes as I hurriedly walked down the isle and out the door.

I reached my car with God's Presence all over me. It was so strange yet so wonderful. I hopped in my car and drove out of the parking lot, but the Presence of the Lord was so strong I couldn't drive. My body just felt like Heaven. I had to stop the car and return to the parking lot. I parked my car back in its parking spot and prayed, and prayed, and prayed. I don't understand what happened except that the Holy Spirit amplified "Itself" within me. I felt like I was going to bust out from within.

I knew that the members of the church wouldn't understand. They say, they are a free church, but I don't believe they would understand the Presence of the Lord in that WAY. For they are so locked into there ways, and fearful of the unexplained. So I removed myself with the Presence of God within me, and headed for my car. I wish I could explain the sensation of the Holy Spirit. It's a joyful and precious good feeling that you wish you could share. Sometimes you feel selfish because you just sit there and enjoy it as it flows though your body with an incredible Force of Peace and Tranquility. For some reason your body shakes, at times it sweats, and sometimes your prayer language just goes crazy.

The average Christian would think you're crazy, but I wouldn't give it up for anything. It was incredible and just a little taste of how the Holy Spirit can re-energize you. I was sort of disappointed that the Holy Spirit didn't touch me at home so I could get crazy, and dance, and express the joy of the Presence of the Lord. I feel sorry for the Body of Christ for it's so regimented, so controlled by the leadership. If they don't understand it with their minds they think its a demon or that the person is crazy. They have so much fear that they at times lock out the Presence of the Lord, and yet they are seeking Him. It just doesn't make sense to me.
