I want to share an experience I had where the power of the Holy Spirit was displayed. All glory and Honor to the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost:
I was not a believer at this time. It was in a church we used to go to. There was a man of God that came to the church, and I was in children's ministry, I think teens ministry when he came. They would show him on TV in the children'r room, while he was in the adult side of the building. I watched this man on that TV and he would tell people to run to the stage, and before they would run to the stage they would fall down, and people would have to catch them.
Now, I remember a long time ago when I was a child my brother and I would mimic the adults who fell out, so when the Pastor would call for people to go down, my brother and I went down, and when he did that motion, we fell down, and we thought the longer we stayed down, the more serious it was. I even think I smiled while I was down there, because I didn't know when to get up. It was a terrible and sticky moment to remember.
Anyhow, this man of God came again for another time when I had left teens ministry and was now in the adult side. I remembered him. And the first time I saw him, I was already nervous. I thought he knew everything about me, so I was afraid that he would call me out, and I would fall down like those other people. I was so, so, afraid of this man.
And soon, during the service, whereas I thought I would be safe, that he would just keep talking and then we could go (which was the usual idea at this church), he started calling people to run down to the stage. But he would set up people to catch them, and sure enough before they even got to the stage they would fall down as if some unseen force just knocked them out. I got more afraid. I wanted to hide from this man. And time after time people would run and fall, run and fall.
But I was in for it. He said that the Holy Spirit was about to move through the whole church, or something like that. I got so nervous. The chairs were split up into three groups. And so he told the first group to hold hands, and that the Power was going to be in that area. And they did it, and they ALL fell down in their chairs at one time. And then the 2nd group held hands, and they all fell. And then it came to our group, and I promised myself that I would not fall. I was sure I would not fall. But all I remembered is getting up. And all of my memory was clear, and my breathe was clear. It was like a my mind became a blank sheet of copy paper. I didn't have anything to think of. I was completely wiped out!!
I believe the Lord let me experience this so I could know that his power is not what people make it. So that I could know that there is a greater knowledge of God. This was so long ago, and I have not experienced anything like these things. I wonder if the church even has the Holy Spirit, or did they just get comfortable with dead doctrine, and mess. Where is the Power???
May Jesus bless you.
