not the gentle and quiet covering of the Spirit that you can feel every
day, but the undoubtedly and visibly present Holy Spirit, the one that
you cannot deny is in the room (speaking in tongues, praying in the
Spirit, healing prayer, people ‘passing out’ in Glory, rain indoors,
gold dust, angels, and clouds of glory – all of it).
The
past two years God has walked me through a process of coming into
comfort with all of this, with coming into a greater understanding of
it. I’m not saying that I’m an expert by any means, but I know that
for many people they feel like speaking in tongues is demonic, that
healing prayer was only for the apostles, that falling down in the
Spirit is straight from hell, etc.
I think a lot of it comes from a history of the Church not addressing these things out of its own ignorance or fear.
I have a gut feeling that even my own friends and family still have
reservations. I know complete strangers who have approached me for
greater understanding on these things because, well, they just don’t
“get it”. I think it’s great. So I’ve officially decided to walk you
through my journey with the Holy Spirit.
