I've been confused for quite some time. I'm not sure if I've been filled, or if I haven't been filled. I'm also just rather curious to hear what it's like, and hearing everyone's descriptions. Please describe it the BEST you can.
Also, if the changes in you after the encounter took some time to happen, or if it happened right after? I also always question if I have the Holy Spirit or not, because, well, I've always had a short temper. I still do. So, that really discourages me as to wether or not I have the Holy Spirit. . .
Thanks for hearing me out, and to anyone that answers, thank you.
If you have prayed to receive Him then He's in there, but He will not impose Himself, He can not abide woeful sin, He is after all a part of the God head, that Jesus left on earth, If sin is near conviction is never far away, a callous word may be all that is needed for the Holy Spirit to make known that something has to be done or said.
Jesus said "those who have an ear, to hear", if you are having trouble trying to choose between two points of view, If someone is doing something because they sat they felt led and you can't see how they could be led by the nose on a dark night with a ten foot chain, then, even in a state frustration close your eyes, ask God to fulfill his promise to you, of, "The spirit will take of what is mine and make it known to you". I guarantee you will not be left confused, but listen with your heart and the Spirit will let you know so that,
you will know that you know. and you will be at peace.
Lots of people have different experiences when being filled with the Spirit and there is also a difference between having the Spirit and being filled with the Spirit, But He will let you know that Himself.
Lift your arms high and exclaim "Jesus" at the top of you voice, and keep repeating it for 30 seconds with some gusto, and I also guarantee you will feel the Spirit within you rejoice.
God bless.
