I felt my heart strangely warmed.

Blaise Pascal had an extraordinary experience of the love of God…. 

This day of grace 1654

From about half past ten at night, to about half after midnight Fire!

God of Abraham, God of Isaac God of Jacob

Not of the philosophers and scholars.

Security, feeling, joy, peace

God of Jesus Christ . . .

Greatness of the human soul . . .

Joy, joy, joy, tears of joy . . .

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ

May I never be separated from him.

A. W. Tozer speaks of this experience too….

We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found him, we need no more seek him. . . . In the midst of this great chill there are some who will not be content with shallow logic. They want to taste, to touch with their hearts the wonder that is God. I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God.

John Wesley also experiences God's grace….

About a quarter before nine, while he (Luther in his commentary on Galatians) was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given to me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.

Jonathan Edwards wrote of his extraordinary experience…. 
I had a view, that was for me extraordinary, of the glory of the Son of God . . . and his wonderful, great, full, pure and sweet grace and love.

"Oh, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge (experience) of him." Ephesians 1:17
