God Touched Me on My Shoulder
By Lover of Words
While I was at work, my co-worker Mrs. Maybee went out for her normal smoke break. When she came in, I noticed she was upset so, I asked her what was wrong. She told me that she had lost one of her diamond stud earrings and that it was really expensive. She was sick! She looked all over and could not find the earring. I then suggested that she probably left it at home and for her to go home and check. Well, she went home and came back and did not find her earring…so I asked her, “Did you bring your flashlight back?” and she said,”yes.” I asked this because it was now dark and raining outside. I told her that I would look for the earring after I finished my work. When I finished my work, I grabbed the flashlight and started looking from the front of the Command Center to the elevator…no earring.
Next, God brought to my remembrance the story about the lady who had lost a silver coin and called her friends to help her look. I then prayed to God and asked him to give me the same faith and determination as that woman. After that, I went out in front of the building where Mrs. Maybee took her smoke breaks, and as I was looking I felt something touch me on my shoulder. I immediately started looking around and slapping my shoulder because I thought it was an insect or animal.
To my surprise, it was a leaf! This happened right at the point I was about to give up the search due to the rain and darkness. Well, I walked forward to the parking lot and there was the diamond stud. The Leaf was the Holy Spirit. My co-worker knew God had blessed her because it is almost impossible to find a diamond stud at midnight, while raining, in a black parking lot. We both praised God for his faithfulness. Now for the confirmation, I was riding down I-20 west in Atlanta talking to my friend Donnie. Donnie and I grew up together and we were riding to see my grandmother.
I was taking her the very leaf that had touched me along with a financial blessing. I was telling my friend Donnie the story about my co-worker, the earring, and the leaf. As I was talking, a leaf flew through my sunroof and fell on the console between my friend and I. Can you believe that! How likely is it for a leaf to fly through a sunroof while you are driving 70 mph? God was confirming everything that happened. Who said God doesn’t talk to us? Whoever said that…doesn’t know his voice. I encourage everyone reading this story to listen for his voice because God Does Speak to Us!
John 10:27 says…”My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”. John 4:24 says…”God is a spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth”. If you’re willing to worship Him in spirit and in truth, the Father will speak to you in a myriad of ways….be open! Keep it up Faith Talk, awesome site!
Around 2002 I was sitting on the sofa watching TV and had been depressed and painful all over. Suddenly something that felt like someone’s index finger touched me on my back right shoulder. I told someone who was sitting on the far end of the sectional sofa about it. No one was behind me. I wasn’t afraid at all. As time passes, I started feeling better physically, emotionally, spiritually, and had a more positive attitude. I had no anger toward anyone and these feelings increased as the evening passed. I slept good that night and had no pain to even mention of the next day. I felt very positive, and felt a peaceful uplifting. I hadn’t ever felt so good except for dreaming of being in a heavenly place with Jesus once and in another very peaceful overwhelming place another time. The next day I was back to feeling awful as usual and can’t get that feeling again. My best friend passed from cancer 9 days ago and I grieve and nothing is working out. I feel as though God has given up on me and is punishing me.
Hi, I just want you to know that I also felt the exact same touch on my right shoulder this morning. This has never happened before to me and I also feel peaceful. I had felt like I was being tested before and I prayed the night before that God would help me pass this test that had being coming up again and again in my life. When I felt the touch on my shoulder the next morning I felt as if an angel of God touched me. It was exactly how you described it. God Bless
Asel, God has not given up on you and He is not punishing you. The word of God says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” It doesn’t matter how hard or how far we fall…We can always trust Jesus to be there with us. Go in peace my friend and realize that your relationship with Our Father is not built on how you feel. It is built on a covenant that He made with you when you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
