I’ll try to be short but through you sharing your story it reminded me so much of my story of being filled with the Holy Spirit/speaking in tongues. I’ve always grown up in a Pentecostal church/atmosphere. I was saved when I was 8 and then I felt the Holy Spirit for the first time when I was 11 at church camp. Whenever Holy Spirit would manifest my jaw would shake, as would the rest of my body, and I had several people tell me I was going to speak in tongues, but I never did. I continued to go back to church camp every year and the same thing would happen. At this point I wasn’t really seeking the gift of tongues, and from the time I got saved until about 13-14, I didn’t really take my walk with the Lord seriously. I wasn’t doing anything bad but I didn’t know I should have a relationship with God and I wasn’t making sure to follow His commands. Anyways so eventually I got sanctified when I was like 14 and started seeing a relationship with God, and through this I started seeking the gift of tongues. I had sought it for several months and my youth pastor/family and I went to an event nearby, and I’m pretty sure the message wasn’t even about tongues, but at the end they had an alter call for people who have never spoken in tongues and so I went to the front. It was only about 5-10 mins in and people were praying for me and I just started speaking in tongues. It was like I couldn’t stop it and I wasn’t fully in control of what was coming out of my mouth. It was so beautiful. I had always wondered what it was like to speak in tongues like if you had control and what better way to find out than by experiencing speaking in tongues? This was probably way longer than it needed to be but I just thought i’d share. If anyone is seeking the gift of tongues...KEEP SEEKING! Read Matthew 7:7-8. God Bless!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the holy Spirit, I loved reading this.! I pray that you continue to have encounters with him as well.
I love your story!!, I’m 14 years old actually and I’m seeking the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues, please pray for me. Any prayer would help, thank you 🙏🏾
The Holy Spirit baptism is how the Holy Spirit is recieved and the first evidence that this has happened is speaking in the spiritual language that the English translation calls " tongues".
Beautiful story 😊🙌🏾Glory be to The Most High. God is so good. I too received the gift of speaking in tongues & it was a beautiful happy, worshiping experience at church I was on my knees praying when I felt a wind blow & Holy Spirit told be to lay down & I began speaking in tongues laying down at church most of my family was there & it was an amazing experience for all of us. One kid there said later on I heard you speak that Chinese language & we laughed . I felt a peace like no other for 3days.
I’m believing God for the gift of the Holy Spirit right now. I’ve seen your video for a while but never had the courage to watch it. I finally watched, thank you for this!
YoursTrulyAshley 😭😭 I’m the same way. When the Holy Spirit touches people I cry like a baby because it’s just so beautiful how much he cares for his children
I crying like a baby. I think it is so beating hear someones story. I get real emotional. I have never spoke in tongues and really want to. I really want that connection and feel that presence. I’m smile just thinking about it
Yesss‼️ Your story made me smile from the very beginning to the end. Ive been asking God to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I know one day he will do it. Im was soo excited listening to ur story
He definitely will!! He loves to fill his children ♥️♥️ keep believing and asking that he will do it. I find that reading stories and watching stories about this topic really increases my faith !
rachel my case was asking for it a while now n never recieved it at one pointing time the devil started playing in my mind saying maybe you not good enough for it trust me all sort of thoughts overwhelmed me then i forgot but i never give up on God i remaimed faithful in prays and obedience until 5th of march 2020 i recieved it. one advice is fast and pray often. with the right motive in your heart. let me recommend dr.myles munroe on effectiveness of fasting and praying learn how it is done then do it n listen y u should fast then you will understand another person you can go to look at is kevin la Ewing he helps alotttt. and you would start seeing changes in your life i bet you. it's an experience i would not forget. I felt so much peace i felt like i was soaring i gave him so much thanks and i bless him for his favor upon my life. be bless.
Sonia Grant Thank you so much‼️ Its funny because March 5th is my birthday😂😂 I will watch the videos and also take fasting and praying more serious. Thank you so much God Bless You
@@rachelosei_ you're welcome one of my gifts is a councillor. I won't decieve you god is working in all of us just be faithful i prayed and prayed and prayed for years and i haven't seen any answers but i never gave up sis am in tears to tell you that. but when i began fasting and praying it changes a lot of things. but there's something that you must do before you start.I don't want ro be to long but if you want ro know you can reply. mercy and peace and grace be unto you.
😂😂😂😂😂 You are too funny!!! I just love you and your videos! What a beautiful experience! Yes, there is something about us truly desiring and longing for God that draws Him to us and makes Him give us more of Him.
Thank you so much for sharing! 💕 so funny but such a beautiful experience, God is so good and also has a sense of humor I’ve come to find. God bless you and obedience and faithfulness to Him, it’s so inspiring. So funny I was currently editing a devotional routine video and saw that was your other option, so excited to watch ☺️ have a great weekend sis!
I think I received the holy spirit today but it was really overwhelming and I started crying. I feel like I should be happy and maybe that will happen later but im kind of scared right now
YUP! Very overwhelming lol. It happened to me in a dream. I was boohoo crying until it filled me and I begin to calm down (still crying but in a much lower tone) and that’s when I started to speak like I knew every word in the dictionary. So hard to explain but it felt so good. People who never felt it will NEVER understand man. It’s SO real.
I LOVE THIS! It's so true! I speak in tongues whenever I pray or worship or engage in spiritual warefare (it can build you up especially when you are engaged in that) The Holy Spirit just comes out of me. The language has also changed over the years. The Holy Spirit is the power of God in your life for those who are willing to be led by it *(Roman's **8:14**)* Also, when I'm sleeping at night and if a demon tries to hold me down, the Holy Spirit speaks through me in tongues and the demons leave. If I didn't have the Holy Spirit I'd be overpowered by the demon and afraid! I'm not afraid though. I'm very grateful for the Holy Spirit in my life and the intimacy first and foremost it allows me with God who is a Spirit. The experience of having and living with the Holy Spirit in your everyday life, is much better felt than told. Grace ✝️Peace
I get this while I'm asleep too. I tend pray in my sleep a lot. Recently I actually spoke to the Holy Spirit in my sleep and asked the Spirit who a particular person really was in my life and I got an answer in the language of the Spirit. It shook me bc I'm not a prayerful person. I just unconsciously pray in my sleep all the time.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story with us! Would love to see you do a video on the power of prayer, or how we as God’s children should pray! 💘💘
Amazing, thanks for sharing. ‘We shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon us and we shall be witnesses for Christ’ wherever we go. God bless you.
I experienced to be possessed by the Holy Spirit twice, whatever it was I know from my heart it was the Holy Spirit! Because I was praying sincerely and fully dependent on GOD at that time around 4 in the morning. When I was at the verge of my prayer the word/s coming out from my mouth suddenly kept on repeating and it became faster and faster I was aware I was speaking that way but I have no control over my body. And then a sudden flash came in before my eyes and I realized I was not speaking from my mind but from my soul and spirit like I don't have to think a word to say that my mouth kept on speaking and speaking from what my spirit has to say.What amazes me experiencing the Holy Spirit was my physical body being thrown around like I was being swayed by the wind until I completely laid on the floor, I was keeping on praising our GOD, thanking HIM, confessing and admitting my sins to forgive me. I felt my spirit was crying because of so much joy and longingly to be in the presence of GOD like I was ready to get there in heaven.
Stephanie! I just love you girl!! I have your videos on repeat sometimes because you motivate and encourage me to be persistent in my walk with God. ♥️ I’ve been praying for the gift of tongues but sometimes I feel like I don’t receive it because I’m just not ready. I desire to reach that stage of fully surrendering to the Holy Spirit as well. Thank you for your videos!
Im so glad you find encouragement and support here! Don't give up and always remember that the Holy Spirit will teach you what you need to know in his timing! Keep trusting and NEVER stop seeking!
sis hehehehe you make me laugh we blacks have a way of being funny when we should be focus it's not funny. that one eyes opening thing am guilty as always when oir eyes supposed to be closed i had to laugh. but my jaws dropped when i heard you say it sounds like Chinese i honestly can testify to that. I've been praying for it but never recieved it years now until the 5th of march this year 2020. i felt so much peace i felt like i was soaring was over joyed and behind my ears was hot hot i remembered that clearly i was fasting and praying at the time and a prophet brother visited unexpectedly it was perfect timing i believe it stayed for a while my tongue keep waving even when i was done. it's only 2 day since I've recieved it and the distractions are for real whenever I go to pray. I know the devil doesn't want me to use it but i would remain focus and determine to go through by his grace. God bless thanks for sharing that you said was true i know cause it was real talk. no crean on it hehehhe. blessings weekend sis.
Hey sister, thanks for this wonderful testimony. I have a question, you you personally know a living church of God in Florida around Cocoa, Illinois ... mostly in Florida. My best friend is going through a horrible moment ( health issues, rejection..). I want him to go to a church that will show him that God is present and loves him. I pray that God heals him too. But for now I would love for him to go to church inorder to get more involved in God's kingdom
Hi! I don't know who is reading this comment but would you pray for me to get baptized in the Holy Spirit like the apostles were at Pentecost (by the way, my real name is Zsuzsi, so u can refer to me as Zsuzsi in your prayers if you want to) ? PLEASE, the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is VERY important to me! 🙏💝
@Brett hastings Blessings Brett, ask God to reveal to you what He requires of you to be in relationship with Him and He will. He loves you. He’s done it for others and will do it for you too...

Inspiring and beautiful, I can’t wait to receive the Holy Spirit! May God continue to bless you in your walk with Faith.

That moment when you open one eye in the middle of prayer 🤣🤣

I second that, that was hilarious!!! 😂
Lol yess!

Many people deny this, but we know its undeniable sister. Stay blessed in the Lord Jesus! 🙏
This is so beautiful! I don’t know why I started crying watching this😩

Thank you for sharing this! It’s encouraging because I’ve been asking the Lord for this for so long! This gives me hope!
I'm praying that the Lord answers that prayer! Enjoy the pursuit, he's in it
There is nothing like the power peace and presence of the Holy Spirit.
Blessed be God forever!! Thank you for sharing, Stephanie! God bless you!

Sweet ,, lovely

Very cute
So do you have to speak in tongues in order to be saved or have the Holy Spirit?
Noo you get saved by believing in heart and confessing with your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you believe he died for you on the cross.
@Brett hastings
Blessings Brett, ask God to reveal to you what He requires of you to be in relationship with Him and He will. He loves you. He’s done it for others and will do it for you too...
Hi,
Could you please pray that God would reveal to me everything that is hindering me from being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Thank you!
