Q18: Can Christians feel God's presence, or is it just emotion responding to truth? Both are possible — Spirit-generated emotion and ordinary human emotion are both real

Mike surveys multiple passages: Moses's face glowing after being in God's presence (Exodus 34); the glory cloud in the temple so heavy priests could not work; Romans 8 — the Spirit enables us to cry 'Abba, Father' (a relational, emotionally-loaded term); the Spirit interceding with groanings too deep for words. Conclusion: emotion can be Spirit-generated or ordinarily human (from a commercial, a cartoon, hormones, hunger). He cautions against obsessing over whether God's presence is 'felt' in any given worship moment, since the Spirit permanently indwells the believer.
