As I was studying my Bible study fellowship materials there was a question of when did you feel you feel the presense the Holy spirit?
It was the week before Christmas in 2019. For several days I noticed some problems with my vision in my left eye. The day that was the most anxiety provoking for me was t he day I closed my right eye and discovered that there was a curtain gradually closing off that vision. i went to my wife and shared my concerns and thought back to my dad when he had his own detached retinae in his left eye. My wife got ahold of the scheduling nurse and found an immediate appointment with the eye doctor. My wife drove me the clinic while I rested my eyes. Within minutes I found myself sitting in the chair getting my eyes dilated. Five minutes went by before I received the unfortunate news that the left eye retina had been slowing detaching. He told me I would have to have immediate eye surgery if I was to save my eye from total loss of sight. He left my wife and I in the room and went back to make some phone calls to see if he could find surgeon that was available to perform the procedure a day before Christmas. In the mean made connections with my siblings and with our life group requesting prayers that the surgery would be a success. Ten minutes went by before the doctor who examined me said he found a world reknown retinae specialist who does his surgeries at the Philipps Eye Institute. The surgery was done on Christmas eve morning. It was, like my dad said to me when he had it, the strangest operation he had ever had. I was given instructions to keep head down for the first24 hours. Early the next day my wife drove me to the Phillips eye Institute for a follow up appointment. He said my eye was healing and that the operation was a success, but it would take many months before I regain use of that eye. On Christmas day we had family over for dinner and gift opening. I remember eating my meal with my head looking down at the floor. I also remember opening up gifts with with my head down. Today, November 27th, 2024 I have use of both eyes which I attribute to my redeemer God.
In the book of revelations I read, " When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders bowed down before the Lamb. Each one of them had a harp and golden bows full of incense which are the prayers of God's holy people. " And they all sang a new song to the Lamb. " You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because were killed, and with the blood of your death you bought people for our God, from every tribe, language, people and nation, you made them to be a kingdom of priests for our God and they will rule the earth. ( Revelations 4)
Jesus died for all mankind when he fulfilled the prophecies in the bible by being judged, tortured, hung on the cross until death, taken down and buried in a tomb before returning to life and returning to heaven
