Connection - can this be of the Lord?

Hi all.. I know many of you must have felt this, either with YF's or normal friends or spouses/partners/whatever. But, I really want to know where it is from. As some of you may know, a couple of weeks ago the Lord used a young guy (17) who I've known a while to smash some walls in my life that were preventing me from being close to others. One of the side effects of this was that, for a while I fell quite in love with him, but those feelings have changed (more friend/brother than anything now). But there's one thing I've experienvced with a lot of people since becomming a Christian, even more with B than with anyone else. That's a kind of connection. I can feel when he's thinking of me or praying about me. And he can feel the same. How it happens is like this. He'll start thinking of me, and will get those feelings he has for me (non-sexual I might add). Then after a bit those feelings suddenly intensify - he couldn't understand this till we spoke about it. When he starts thinking of me, I get the feelings I have for him. Then I start thinking of him, and the feelings start to intensify - which is what he feels. Like what we feel for each other is in a kind of feeback loop between us. We've checked times with this, they match. We live in opposite hemispheres, almost at opposite ends of the hemispheres, and he's somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 the way around the globe from me. I've had many experiences like this since becomming a Christian, but only with the person nearby except in two cases - a former fiance and a close non-Christian friend. While it is hard to believe that this could be anything but from God, I do not see any mention or hint of anything like it in the Bible, and I've had some experience in occult stuff so know it could come from there. It borders on mind reading, as with other's I've shared this with we basically knew each others thoughts. To a degree I know his thoughts now, and he possibly knows mine (although they're to alien to him to make a lot of sense of them :-) I certainly know what he's feeling, esp when we're chatting on ICQ. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks and God Bless, Thunderchild |
