Show Notes
Lana Manley was fully awake in the middle of the night when God showed up in her bedroom — and nothing about her life looked the same afterward.
She wasn’t dreaming. She wasn’t imagining it. She describes a commanding presence and a flood of thoughts that were not her own. In that moment, Lana experienced what she believes was the overwhelming holiness and perfection of God — not as a concept, but as a reality so powerful it left her physically unable to move and spiritually undone.
What followed wasn’t just a moment — it lasted for days. Her body trembled. Her perception of people changed. The way she saw her life, her family, her work, and even herself was completely reordered. It felt as if a veil had been lifted and she was suddenly seeing the world through a lens she never knew existed.
In this episode, Lana shares how encountering God’s holiness exposed blind spots she didn’t know she had, dismantled her sense of self-sufficiency, and awakened a depth of humility, clarity, and love she had never experienced before. ------------------------ ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.
