How I was able to Speak in Tongues for the First Time

I prayed to GOD constantly to received the Holy Spirit. I responded to 2 alter calls at bible study service, where I opened my mouth and prayed out loud with my head tilted back and with my arms in the air. The pastor prayed over me multiple times, other church members who can speak in tongues prayed over me. My pastor said it comes from your gut, and not your mind. I closed my eyes and really concentrated on the Holy Spirit. After multiple attempts on my own, when I got home that night after bible study, I was able to speak in tongues, while in the shower. My goal now is to be able to speak in tongues openly without being in a private setting. 12-7-18

Luke 11:13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Speaking in Tongues

At bible study yesterday, the pastor was speaking about being filled with the Holy Spirit. And praying to heaven through the Holy Spirit in tongues is a language only GOD can understand; like a prayer language. After being saved, then you must get to know the Holy Spirit. Many of us Christians fall short of being Holy Ghost filled. See scriptures below:

ACTS chapter 19 verses:

2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

I prayed in tongues for the first time yesterday after church members were praying for me on the alter. I felt the Holy Spirit at church, but it wasn't until I got home and got into the shower, I was able to speak in tongues. I still need to continue to practice speaking in tongues until I'm very comfortable doing it any time and any where. 12-6-18

By Far the BEST miniseries on TV

The "Bible" TV mini series that aired on the History channel was a phenomenal
experience to watch. After reading the bible, or even before reading the
bible, this film will help provide a visual for the stories of the bible. It
has a high potential to deepen your understanding of the bible and the
stories that took place. I highly recommend checking it out. According to
Wikipedia, it is the largest cable television audience of 2013 to date and
the No. 1 show on all of Sunday night television with 10.9 million total
viewers. 12-4-18

Two Life Changing Tips that can Change your Life

Sunday at church, my pastor talked about hearing from GOD and being obedient to what he is telling you to do.

• The first thing we need to do is to learn how to hear from GOD. The more you get to know GOD by studying the bible, the more likely you will know if it's him speaking to you or not. For instance, it's very similar to knowing someone like your best friend or a close family member. For example, if someone was to ask you, "did your best friend take the coffee without paying for it?", you would say, "they wouldn't do that, because I know them very well".

• The second thing we need to do once we know it's GOD speaking to us, is to obey whatever he is telling us to do. It may not make sense at the time, or it may be inconvenient, but we need to be obedient in faith.

One disobedient act can turn your life upside down for the worst. And one obedient act can do the opposite for your life. Deuteronomy 30:10 / 12-3-18

What is GOD asking you to do?

Have you ever had a gut feeling that the LORD may be telling you to do something? Even though, you may not be 100% sure it's the LORD saying it to? Well, if it's something positive that relates to apologizing to someone for instance, whether you are right or wrong, or helping someone, or reaching out to someone you haven't spoke to in a long time, then it's probably GOD speaking to you. Also, if it doesn't conflict with the bible wording, then it's probably GOD. Moreover, if it lines up parallel to GOD's words in the bible, it's probably GOD. Therefore, I suggest that you do it, whether it's a small thing or a big thing. That's where your blessings come from, being obedient to GOD's word. 12-2-18

What will people say at your funeral

Many people don't think about their legacy they're leaving behind when they are gone; or the memories you leave with others who knew you. Will love ones, friends, or family have nice things to say about you? Many of us think about ourselves, but overlook how our actions impact the people around us on a daily basis. People are watching us all the time, when we don't even know it. You would be surprised of certain things you might have said, or something you did, or even how you handled a 'not so great' situation you were in; how you kept a positive attitude when times were tough. People are watching us all the time, keeping their thoughts to themselves. Therefore, I want people to genuinely speak about how I helped or thought about someone else, other than myself. Are you impacting someone life in a positive manner while it's still time? I hope I am. 12-1-18
