We are talking about desiring more of God, and how it led me to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Continuing on from yesterday…….What was so cool is that search happened just before I met my future husband, Lynn, who already was a spirit filled believer. He was raised in a church that believed in being spirit filled, and he had been filled with the spirit since he was a 7 year old. God had a plan! I was reading about being spirit filled, visiting a church that was positive about being spirit filled and I became more convinced that I wanted to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Once I was convinced, I went for it! I prayed and asked to be filled with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. Being filled with the Holy Spirit changed my life forever. It was a welcome addition to being part of God’s family. The Holy Spirit in my life has enhanced my Christian walk in every way. Because in Him, I have found the more I was looking for! Since that time, my passion for God has only increased, and I am so thankful that what I prayed for has become such a vibrant part of my life. Act 1:8 really is true, when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you receive power and you become a witness for Christ. That happens right where you are and around the world if we go or are sent. One of the amazing benefits of being able to pray in the spirit is that we can pray for things that we don’t know about. If we feel the unction to pray, we can pray in the spirit and pray for people around the world. What an encouraging way to live!
