Those who've been in the LC will understand. It's like when your pray with others it's exhausting but you would sense something about a particular situation or about the other person...it's very difficult to describe but I know those who were/are in the LC know what I'm talking about. The spirit is prophetic...and even on LD you can tell who's prophesying in "spirit" and who's just repeating stuff.
I ask this mainly because I'm still dependent on this spirit and the spiritual high it gives me. I remember so many times I'd have the sense to call, message etc... a certain member and there'd be a feeling of release. But I've realised most of these feelings were linked to members & situations in the LC. I don't recollect ever having a sense towards other people outside of LC and even other Christians. I just wanted some clarity and if anyone can relate or had similar experiences it would be much appreciated.

JSZ—
I believe this "spirit" you appropriately describe is confirmed in these verses in I Timothy 4 as follows:
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils (demons); 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
These verses highlight what you describe and confirm that this "spirit" is real. We see and in some cases "feel" (creepy, uncomfortable and wierd) the fruit of the doctrines of demons as well as the gross hypocrisy of some of the Local Church leadership which could only occur when the conscience is seared with a hot iron.
Note that this warning has been spoken to us "expressly" by the HOLY Spirit of a sign of the end times..."latter times". This warning you have brought to us should not be ignored. Thank you!
