  • hey i shared this on fb, and thought it might help some here, be blessed :)

    i wrote verses down about the Spirit, read them and read them, meditated, and prayed, and prayed, but nothing noticeable happened. this went on for months i think, then one day i felt led to look up repentance on the net. I hadn't understood it was changing my mind to agree with God, i thought i had to almost hurt myself to show i was sorry,
    so i repented-
    Father i confess ive sinned, and i repent in Jesus name amen, i didnt expect anything to happen, then as i got on my bed, a few seconds later i could feel a wind (i now know to be the Spirit) entering my mouth, i felt such peace and joy, but i was so insecure, when God was baptizing me in His Spirit, i was still asking Him to baptize me in his Spirit and i didn't know what had really happened.

  • so i went back to feeling as i was before, but with more desperation i think, i had Bible studies, then maybe a couple months later, luke 11:13, i think it is, hit me for real, it says if we ask God for the Spirit He'll give us His Spirit. so i thought, OK if God's word is true, i've asked, so i better thank Him, which i did later that night in bed, and i felt His presence powerfully.........and woke up feeling joy joy joy, it's been a journey since, not always easy. Like it says in Eph, in the Greek be being filled with the Spirit, ongoing hope this helps you, it certainly helped me to remind myself

As for praying in tongues, i did that one night, i felt a bit stupid, but that's ok to be undignified, in fact it's good if it's led by God, and I had a little voice saying i was making it up (wonder which kingdom that came from!?!?! LOL), but i could feel God's presence as i did it, so continued through the doubt! And it's an awesome gift i thank God for!!!
