Spiritual experiences, are excused by atheists, with 'hallucinations', 'low standards for proof' 'drugs' or mental illness.
But they can be more real than anything else, and when things keep happening with God, denying that would be silly.
The things Paul wrote about the Spirit in the new testament we can experience too.

But unbelievers are going to unbelief i guess.
And believer are going to believe I guess, I also find these to be best explained by psychology rather than the Christian God as there are so many other religious people who aren't Christian who get experiences from their God and surely you'd have to accept their testimony to be as strong as your own.

"Religious experience" isn't the epistemic litmus test of historical truth, whether biblical or non-biblical. Some people think they "experience" a flat-earth, too...................that doesn't make the Earth flat.
