247. I Prayed for 4 Hours… Then Jesus Showed Up!! - with David Diga Hernandez

What happens when you pray for hours… and nothing happens?In this highly anticipated episode, David Diga Hernandez shares the raw and real story of desperately seeking God—trying everything he knew: prayer, worship, scripture, and intercession... yet still feeling nothing.After four hours of striving, frustration turned into surrender:“I don’t know how to pray… I don’t know how to find Jesus.”And that’s when everything changed.David describes the moment the presence of Jesus filled his room, what it felt like physically, from electric-like sensations to overwhelming peace and joy, and how that encounter completely transformed his understanding of the Holy Spirit.We also dive into:• What it actually feels like when the power of God moves• The reality of being slain in the Spirit• Why some people fall—and others don’t• The difference between a real encounter vs. emotional hype or faking it• How to discern what’s genuine vs. forced• Why so many believers struggle to experience what they read in the Book of ActsThis is an honest, deep, and sometimes controversial conversation about encountering God, surrender, and the true work of the Holy Spirit.If you’ve ever felt stuck, skeptical, or hungry for more of God, this episode will challenge and encourage you.📘 Get David Diga Hernandez’s book:https://www.faithandflame.com/pages/my-shop/zachrippeyUse code ILIKEBIRDS20📺 Subscribe to David:YouTube: @DavidDigaHernandezPodcast: @TheEncounter.Podcast📍 See David live:https://www.davidhernandezministries.com/eventsSupport Zach Rippey's Ministry below:🕊️ Partner with I Like Birds Ministry:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/support🎁 Patreon (Free 7-Day Trial):https://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds📘 21 Days in Africa:Amazon: https://a.co/d/3iFskiYSigned Copy: https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop/p/21-days-in-africa-signed-paperback🧢 Merch:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop🩵 PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=C55JZNGUB97EE📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/ilikebirdsministry🧡 Sponsor a Child (Suubi Project):https://suubiproject.org/Sponsors:🛏️ Cozy Earth (41% OFF with code ILIKEBIRDS):https://cozyearth.com📍 Appliance Store (DFW):https://www.appliancestorenearmetx.com/ilikebirds🐜 Alpha & Omega Pest Control (DFW):Call Tim: 817-426-4445
