EXPERIENCES IN HIS CLOUD

GRANDMA ANNA’S EXPERIENCE IN HIS GLORY CLOUD

On 4/7/77 I had a very amazing experience with God's glory cloud while attending a Charles and Frances Hunter conference. This conference was giving me my very first experience in seeing people "slain in the spirit." I was very afraid of it and had no intention of having them pray for me. However, I suddenly developed an excruciating headache. I had a choice of leaving and going back to my motel or receiving prayer. I found myself going forward and got in line to ask for healing before I even thought much about it. Suddenly, Frances Hunter was in front of me and asking my need. Coming out of my mouth with no premeditation at all was a shocking request, "I want God's full anointing for ministry." I didn’t say one word about my horrible headache!

She touched my forehead with one finger and said, "Lord, this gal wants everything you've got!"

I felt myself float back and I literally landed on a white puffy Cloud. The Cloud began to love me. I can't explain how a Cloud can love, but it did. It was a force of love all by itself and in the experience I knew it was God's glory cloud. Never, before or since have I experienced anything exactly like it. My head was aching terribly and I cried out to the Lord to take the pain away. God’s voice spoke out of the cloud and said, "Does that headache really matter?" Then the Cloud loved me again and again. I kept crying out for Him to heal me, and He kept asking me if the headache really mattered. Each time He increased the strength of His love for me which penetrated my very being. I can’t explain the feeling, but it was wonderfully comforting. Finally, I felt His love so intensely that it equaled the pain. Again He asked me and increased the intensity. I was so caught up in His love for me that I wasn’t even thinking of the pain and I said to Him, "No, the headache really doesn't matter."

I slowly came back to conscious awareness of things around me. I felt glued to the floor and had great trouble getting up and walking back to my seat. My head ache was still there and pounding furiously. My friends could hardly believe I still had the headache. They prayed for me and it slowly left. They said I was out cold for at least twenty minutes.

I learned a lesson and have applied it many times. No matter what the circumstances are, the Lord will love us through it. We will know and experience His love in some kind of a tangible way. I also know that I know that I know, that His glory cloud is LOVE.

GRANDMA ANNA EXPERIENCED GOD’S GLORY CLOUD

VISION: Suddenly before me I saw a cloud of tiny little bubbles that were enveloped in a foggy mist. The mist swirled in front of my eyes. I knew it was His glory cloud.

============

SANDY VISION: I saw the mist of the Lord’s cloud moving upon the hill.

Then I saw someone sweeping their hand over me as though to stir the wind. I shook under the Lord’s Presence as I saw this.

HEARD: You are anointed Sweetheart. Endued. [Then I shook again]

SELAH WORD BY GRANDMA ANNA

Precious one of Mine, in all your circumstances, I AM with you. I AM with you when you are worshipping, and when you are being endued with anointing. I AM with you when you are joyful and also in suffering. I AM even with you when I AM the farthest One from your mind. Nothing about you ever escapes My watchful eye. It is as though you are the only one in the world that matters to Me. I love you that much. I never leave you, nor forsake you. You may be in the worst of circumstances, but I AM always there loving you through them, even when you are not aware of My Presence. When you call out to Me in painful and fearful circumstances, I AM there to embrace you. I will keep increasing the intensity of My love until you are comforted. You may not visibly see Me, or smell Me, but I AM there comforting you as a mother does her weeping child. So, rest in My loving arms, dearest one, and know you are loved and safely kept in My Cloud of Love.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort," (2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJ)
