Transcendental Peace - Testimony

I was seventeen years old.  It was a dark moonless night, and I had gone to visit a friend's house, which was right at the top of a mountainous hill in Darjeeling. It was only 7 in the evening, but it was pitch black. As I made my own way back to our cottage, which was around two kilometers down the hill, that darkness was engulfing.  The electricity cuts those days were heavy, especially in the evenings.  Candle light or lamps were glowing in homes when the power supply was cut off those evenings, which the school facilities and study rooms power supply was from the old noisy generator.

That particular moonless night, I was suddenly gripped with a fear of snakes, very commonly found sliding out of the forested areas.  There were cases where snakes had bitten people in the dark crossing their paths. I was particularly terrified of snakes.  That night, I had a kind of panic attack as I walked down the hill, in the dark.  Then I suddenly called out, "Jesus! Be here, Be present!"  I was not particularly close to God at that time, but the change was instantaneous.  A deep peace enveloped me and a peaceful warmth surrounded me.  The fear flew away.  I was amazed that I got such peace with such a short prayer.

One particularly instance was in my twenties.  Something happened to me, a thing which I feared happened.  Something that I will not name as it is not relevant to this time.  When the actual event happened, I thought I would crumble and fall into pieces.  .  Usually, today, as I discover more and more, when we people go through difficult times, we pop a pill to go through any painful or overwhelming situations.  We take a sedative, anxiolytic, or an antidepressant for such situations.  Well, the comfort of medication did not even occur to me then.

That night, I thought I would not sleep.  But I had a verse that kept popping back into my mind.  Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him:  Job 13:15.  I did not even try to bring this verse to my mind, but it flew right into me.  A wonderful thing happened after that.  Throughout that night, I experienced a deep wonderful supernatural peace, I felt the Presence of Jesus just pouring that deep Peace over me and saturating me.  The next morning, I was totally healed and delivered from the pain of that situation.

Over the years, I have been in different stormy situations, sometimes with people who were aggressive or downright mean, and then again, that supernatural peace has surrounded me.

I do notice, however, that I do not experience this peace if I myself  was not walking on a pathway of doing the right thing.  I guess if I am in my flesh, and do certain wrongs, then that Peace is not experienced, but if I am trying to do it the right way, in obedience, yes, I do get that supernatural peace in a stormy situation.

Jesus said "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives."  John 14:27

It is true.  He can give us deep peace, supernatural, there are no human words to describe that peace.  No drug, no medication, no transmeditation can give that kind of peace.  The peace you get from Him when you call on Him is transcendent.  It is beyond us.  To receive it all you have to do is call Him with all your heart, and He will answer you.
