So I was reading Romans the other day (it’s a really good
book if your lookin for a good read) and was just totally rocked by one little
word- himself. It was talking about the Holy Spirit, and it referred to it as “himself.” For the first time in my life I thought to
myself- woah it;s not a scary ghost from Halloween- it’s a HIM! I cannot
explain the sorrow that came into my heart when I realized that I had been
ignoring the very one who came to live inside of me and to comfort and lead me.
I don’t even know Him!
So I began
the journey of getting to know my new friend the Holy Spirit. I mean I’ve
always prayed to God or Jesus, jut now I’ve started talking to Him, asking for
Him to have his way and to work in my life. And man has it been awesome!
I’ve
been begging my new friend to move in a big way in my life, to light my spirit
on fire, to take whats lukewarm in my life and cast it out, to fill me up in a
way I never knew possible… Well here I am camped out at the Awakening in Dublin
Ireland and oh boy did my new friend show up tonight! The Holy Spirit came over
me with such a power that it felt like someone was squeezing my throat and I couldn’t
stand up. His presence was so heavy and amazing all I could do was laugh and
cry. It was like he closed up my throat and was saying “you don’t need words-
just praise me.” We jumped and danced and praised Him until they made us leave!
And this is only night one!
Just a
side note to those of you that think this is weird: look up how they praised
God in the Bible, then we’ll talk. It’s biblical. Plus, it’s gonna be one mad
party when we get to Heaven and I get to praise my God in person!!! Ooh I cant
wait!
