“And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.” – Luke 8:46 KJV
Are you a feeler like me? Did you know that some of us in the body of Christ are not only “seers” but “feelers” as well?
I remember having a conversation with someone and I told him that I feel things that are difficult for me to explain. He proceeded to tell me that he believed it was due to me being sensitive to the spiritual realm.
Fast forward, I ended up taking a course by James Goll called “The Discerner” and one of the things he shared is that the Holy Spirit gifts some of us not only as “seers” but “feelers” as well. He then went on to discuss more in depth about a “feeler”. It made me think about the times that people would touch me or even brush up against me and I would immediately feel weird. Sometimes, it would be a good weird, sometimes I would feel like I wanted to throw up, confused, and other times it would be an evil weird, that would put me in a foul mood.
There was even a time that I attended my youngest nephew’s graduation party. Due to the weekend that my sister decided to have the graduation party, many people had other plans because it was a holiday weekend. So, many people did not attend. My sister asked me if I would pray over the food. So, we stood in a circle and held hands. I was holding my sister’s hand. All of a sudden, I began to weep uncontrollably as I was praying over the food and over my nephew. I did not understand why I was so emotional. It was a cry that was an ugly cry. My sister later shared with me how it was hard for her to keep from crying at the party when no one hardly showed up for the party. (When I held her hand, unbeknownst to me at the time, I ended up releasing what she was bottling up inside.)
I learned that I am so sensitive to other people, that I pick up on what they are feeling, and it will be released through me what they are experiencing. I often thought it was me, until I went through “The Discerner” course to learn that I have to be very careful when I touch people or allow someone to touch me. I also have to stay spiritually strong to avoid those types of things from happening.
My question to you. Are you a “feeler” and if so, how do you handle the different things that you are “feeling” or picking up from other people?
