Some ladies who teach the Bible claim to have had special feelings of a tangible presence of God. Sarah Young, author of Jesus Calling, Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts, Beth Moore, author of lots of books, and other women, claim to feel God. They report a warm mist, a force entering them, a tingle and so on.
The question often arises, if I don’t feel God, am I doing something wrong?
No.
You might sense God as you commune with Him in prayer or the Word, but maybe you don’t. Feeling physical sensations are not a requirement for communion with the Lord. Most people do not feel a tangible presence of God at any time. Here, we look to Job. He expresses that in fact God feels far from Him but still Job will commune with God via treasuring the words of His mouth more than even the food that keeps Job alive.
Be encouraged. Leave the warm mists, forcible compelling, tingles and other sensations to the ladies who claim such things. More than likely they are not even sensations from God. Be satisfied as Job was, with the words of God’s mouth. It’s enough, isn’t it? More than enough.

Great post! I agree with what you have said. We don’t need to feel God in order to commune with him. His grace is sufficient for me.

Even in my Charismatic years, I rarely “felt” God. My friends were puzzled and frustrated, especially since they thought I was “anointed.” Such foolishness!

Foolishness is right! I’m so aggravated at these lady ‘Bible teachers’ who make it seem normal. Worse, I dislike it when they make others feel less-than for not having the feeling. (or hearing from Him, or experiencing an event… and so on)
