The numinous is a feeling of the presence of God.

So, it could be any situation where you feel Him.

For example; a vision, a beautiful sunset, the witness of a birth ect.

A numinous experience, not to be confused with a numerous experience (a reoccurring event), is a supernatural, or mystical occurrence, usually subjective and ineffable. Visions, hearing voices, feeling of inexplicable joy etc, or a sense of oneness with nature come under numinous experiences.

The term was coined by Rudolf Otto to describe the experience humans have when they encounter the sheer holiness of God.

There are many examples of numinous experiences in the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments. To mention a few in the Old Testament: Daniel had many dreams and visions, as did Ezekiel, and Isaiah. Samuel had the experience of hearing the voice of God in 1 Samuel 3. In Genesis, the patriarchs had many numinous experiences and in Exodus Moses spoke face to face with God.

In the New Testament, the Gospels that recount the circumstances of Jesus' birth. The book of Acts- the experiences of the early church, and the book of Revelation is one of the numinous experiences of John.
