I used to be afraid of the Holy Spirit – 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 year and a half 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. 

There’s a lot of doubt.

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. 

Starting tomorrow.

Here’s what you can expect:
