 It was with joy and relief that I read what you'd written.My family and myself experience the Lord's miraculous provision for, healing of and communication with us all on a daily basis.He provides what He knows we need - Mat 6:32 +++ (whatever we might want!). We occasionally get sick, and sometimes stay sick  - Gal 4:13, Phil 2:27-27, 1Tim 5:23, 2 Tim 4:20 +++, but he's done things to some of us which no doctors have ever been able to explain! Our Provider, Healer and Lord lets us know so much in so many ways - Mat 4:4 +++ that He means what He says in the bible.We don't (need to) shout about it that much - He does that to those who seek Him - because we either stand out like a sore thumb (mostly!) or a light depending on who reacts to what. However, NONE of what happens to us or whatever we do in our daily lives fits in with some "signs" of the Holy Spirit's activity which so often seem to be orchestrated in order to cause a sensation (with the usual consequences)We know from various personal experiences that some manifestations of the Holy Spirit are not at all Holy.It might not sound too good in some places saying this but......
