Birth of the Holy Spirit
Holy Ghost…
How am I to define it?
Well, you can’t define it. It’s best not to even try to. If not, you’ll lose it.
It’s something way beyond definition. It can’t be painted using words, nor can it be painted into anything that uses our senses.
But I can tell you one thing. I am saved.
Ah yes… God sees the Holy Spirit in you. And I know that I am saved through that.
How I know that I’m saved?
Easy. The blessing I received last Friday.
Before that, allow me to just tell you about the quest. The search for One.
Firstly,
I thought the Holy Spirit is just some kind of "conscience" given by
God to us. It tells you what is right and what is wrong.
But to tell you now, I am wrong.
In
the Holy Bible, the word "Holy Spirit" kept appearing. As if it is
highlighting itself. And one day, I got to know that the Holy Spirit IS
God.
It’s actually very simple. When Lord Jesus was nailed by us on
the cross, His blood cleansed us. And the miraculous gifts He possessed
were given to His believers. It’s called the Holy Spirit.
Joel 2:28-29
: "After I have poured out my rains again, I will pour out my Spirit
upon all of you! Your sons and daughters will prophesy; your old men
will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. And I will pour
out my Spirit even on your slaves, men and woman alike, …"
If you have noticed, I mentioned that when you have the Holy Spirit,
you’ll start to do miracles. Just like what Lord Jesus did during His
days. By reading the 1st Corinthians 12:6-10, you’ll know that
there are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. Now, don’t get it confused
with the fruits… These are gifts, you don’t grow them, you get them.
Like Christmas gift from Santa, you’ll have to be faithful to get it.
Once, Winson preached about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I was
interested, but then I started thinking. Am I not worthy enough to get
its gift?
Ah yes… It all started on a Friday (15/2/08). Pastor James blessed
me, and it felt like all the burden have been lifted away. It felt
good. When I entered a trance state, i visioned
three-orange-rectangular shapes, and the word: Call Others.
When
Winson said that it meant me to get the others to INFUSE, I started
working… hehe… And guess what? It was easy to get them, as if a
strange force was helping me!
Then, one day, Matthew borrowed me two books, Baptism by the Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost and Their Operations.
I’ve
read it thoroughly and was shocked (I meant amazed) by its contents.
Hmm… if I start explaining now, my blog would be EXTREMELY long, so
it’s better if I just tell you the most vital parts.
While reading the book, many questions came upon my head. Like; What’s the difference between the voice of the Holy Spirit and conscience? How would I feel once I get the Holy Spirit? and the most vital question; Am I worthy enough to get the Holy Spirit?
Like in the book, I prayed and confessed, and thought of love for
God. Then, I slowly opened my mouth. Okay, here’s the good part. Allow
me to present this verse first:
Psalm 81:10 : "…Open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it."
To my horror (and amazement), syllables just came through my head
and my mouth. At first, the alien word formed slowly, and then stopped
as I have lost my concentration immediately after that. And I first thought I was just making those words up.
When I went
back to focus, a sentence just came out of me fluently. Then, I started
singing in an alien tongue. And this is one of the Holy Spirit Gifts.
It allows you to pray in an unknown language without you knowing its
meaning, except if you have the other gift, which is the gift of
interpretation of tongues.
But that’s just the small part of it. Ever since that, my head is as
lively as ever. Last time, my brain would be working smoothly for the
first five minutes of the day, and then blunder around like a zombie in
a horror movie. Now, the songs of the Lord kept drifting in my head
twenty four-seven. And I’m even joyous than ever. Last time, I’ll
smile, but the inside would be filled with unimaginable stuffs. Now,
I’ll still smile, but I’ll also jump around as well. Hard times do
come, but it’ll be erased of my mind in a few seconds!!! Why? I get to
solve them immediately without stress!
Exams also passed by, and I did not study at all (as usual :P). I
answered the exam based on what ran through my head, and in the end I
found many careless mistakes. But it didn’t matter at all. I just don’t
know why. Last time, I’ll get so bunched up when I have found that I’ve
made such mistakes. And I have something else for you to guess… for a
person who did no revision, I did quite well in my exams!!! Wakakaka
Okay, then it was last Friday (7/3). Pastor Kul blessed me
He prayed for my Holy Spirit (amazingly, I’ve never told pastor that
I’m looking for one). Then I went into a trance. This time it was WAY
much longer. And it was about a baby. AMAZING!
Then when I’m in the car, Lawrence brought up about the birth of Jesus
from the Book of Luke. At that very instant. I knew what the vision
meant. Yes.
THE BIRTH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ME.
Haha… If you’re a
Christian, you’ll understand what I am saying. But have you experienced
it? Just have faith. You’ll get it. If you’re not… maybe this blog
can influence you as well as I have influenced my other friends? Haha.
But one thing’s for sure. The Holy Spirit has boosted my life.

Didn’t knew you experience that.. hehe. Well, next time, if this sort of thing happens again, just let it flow. Don’t think about it..
I believe that what you had just experienced is a gift from the Holy Spirit.. Do you mind if I make a link to this post from my blog? =)
