Here is my story of how I got filled with the Holy Ghost. It was in 2012 before I came to Bethesda. It was one Sunday in 2012 I was 19 at the time. So my Late Pastor Bishop James Johnson at the time was preaching I don't know what he was preaching something but anyway as he was preaching it felt like everybody was invisible it was just me and God at the time and I was 😭 and I knew at that moment something was going to happen. So at the end of his sermon he said Does anyone want the Holy Ghost? I immediately went down to the altar without no hesitation I stepped out in faith and I believed that I was going to get the Holy Ghost that day. So I got baptized and I went back to the tarrying room in the chapel we still have a chapel till this day so anyway I went to the tarrying room and I said Thank you Jesus for maybe four or six times and I got Filled with the Holy Ghost at the age of 19 or 20 I don't know but I know I got it because I was speaking in my tongues louder and louder and then I remember switching from my heavenly language to English. I didn't know that I was speaking in my heavenly language but anyway I went to my older brother Gregory jr and the Holy Spirit told me to tell him "Whatever it is let it go In Jesus Name and I want back to speaking in tongues and it calmed down. Then in 2013 was when I joined Bethesda Temple of The Apostolic Faith and Pastor Julian Johnson who is my Pastor now ask me what Happened to me and I Said i Got the Holy Ghost and I immediately started to speak In tongues again. So i just thank God for giving me this gift it's amazing. Thank you Jesus. I pray someone is inspired my testimony and I hope it blesses you and encouraged you in Jesus Name Amen.

Father In the Name of Jesus Christ I thank you For my Dear Sister In Christ ‼️ LORD I coming on Behalf of My Sister I ask you Jesus That You Fill Her With the HOLY GHOST & Fire 🔥 More More FILL Her In The Name of Jesus Christ & Father God I Thank you In Advance In the Name of Jesus Christ for what you are going to do In Rachel Brand Life in the name of Jesus Christ We PRAY AMEN & AMEN ‼️
I feel you on this one, I was baptized in Jesus name and repented, just now receiving the Holy Ghost last week after 6 months. It did not happen until I quit trying to do it on my own, and gave it to the Lord.
@@Edtheboss-r7u pray ask Jesus to help you overcome your specific sins, repent, turn away from them, get baptized in Jesus name and you will receive the Holy Spirit.
You may not get this reply, however possibly someone else will. You are never alone...I hope the scripture will give someone a little comfort that may need it. The hope that remains in our hearts during life's difficulties, is the Holy Spirit given by God. (Glorify God in all that we do in His name) ***PROVERBS 3:5-6*** Romans 8:26 Romans 5:5 God Bless any & all who read this message
I was saved and baptized in the water a couple months ago. I’m in the word daily and prayer daily seeking Jesus and to be baptized in the Holy Spirit everyday. I want him so bad I can taste it lol but the devil comes at me every time it doesn’t happen. Pray for me man, I know it’s on GODs timing that it’ll happen but maybe some extra prayers will help it along and help me with the strength to keep chasing no matter how long it takes.... my gut dropped when you said that guy took 30yrs 😱lol
Hey brother Ask and you shall recieve. Knock and it shall be open unto you🙏🏼 Matthew 7:7. Brother I too was there where you’re at but the Lord will never give up on you he didn’t give up on me even though I thought it was too late. I was caught dead in sin for many years and brother I just recently received The Holy Ghost Jesus is so good to me I thought it was impossible but brother nothing is impossible with The Lord🙏🏼
Devorah Tenajeros I was raised to be catholic so I grew up going to church but I wouldn’t say I believed because in the back of my mind my whole life was the “what if” God didn’t exist, so many “what if’s” but I’d say I wasn’t saved until recently this year when I actually started believing even though I’ve prayed a lot before even being saved but I was still living a sinful life so it all didn’t matter because I didn’t know for certain God was there in my life but I’m no longer a catholic now I’d like to call myself a servant of The Lord and a son. After being depressed for a while and being caught up in marijuana because of it Jesus brought me to him and I never want to go back because Jesus is all I want🙏🏼 Live for Him because he died for us
God's timing is 'already!'. Ask and He will give you the Holy Spirit in full measure.. If you have asked already, then believe that you have received him. Then act out in faith! The devil cannot stop this; he is limited to the sense realm and can do absolutely nothing to your spirit man. If you are still struggling with this, then you must be approaching it logically rather than by faith..
Our story is kind of similar. I was seeking God and I unfortunately went to Islam. Then I met someone who helped me to find Jesus at a Pentecostal church. Like you I tried to tell myself I didn’t need to speak in tongues to have the Holy Spirit but I know it’s truth. I just went to the altar today and did not receive the Holy Spirit but all I can do is keep praying and fasting. I’m hoping God will bless me soon in Jesus name. I appreciated your story thank you
Every single word out of your mouth, including 2hr prayers and scriptures and trying to emulate it, EVERYTHING is my life right now. For 13 months now. Its like you took my mind and read it out loud, everything everything everything. This is mind blowing 🤯
Love your testimony. Mine was completely different, so supernatural. Not what I was expecting. A little background, I suffered from anxiety for about 8 years, I was addicted to alcohol and weed, I developed depression after I had my daughter and for years I had sleep paralysis. I always wondered if someone did witchcraft on me because I never messed with the occult. Demons came to me every single night to torment me literally for about 3 years straight. It made me so angry with life and God. My mom is a born again Christian and I started to attend church with her not knowing what to expect. September 26, 2019 I had a vision early in the morning while praying to God and he gave me the holy spirit. I didn't speak tongues but my life has been transformed, I do not recognize myself anymore. I get baptized tomorrow morning and I love what I have with Jesus. I love that he isn't a fable like I thought too. Life is too painful to walk alone. This new road that I am on was extremely difficult to get here but I am here and there is hope for everyone. Keep praying and seeking and do not expect it to be easy because it's not. God bless 💜🕊
God used this video for me bro, in the past I’ve tried many nights to seek the Holy Spirit but just couldnt get it or feel anything. I was just looking at a video of how to receive the Holy Spirit from a sister in Christ right before this video & she was praying for the Holy Spirit to be infilled in the listeners ( mind you sadly I’ve backsliden ) so the words she was saying wasn’t hitting me as they should because of my sin so I got angry and discouraged similar to you so I went off of the video and went off of TH-cam .. so I went back on a couple of seconds later , I wanna say something moved me to type in testimonies of people getting it but I’m not sure. Anyways I have courage now from this 💯 praise God. I’m turning away
I have yet to receive the gift of tongues. I pray about it all the time. But I can confidently say that I have received the Holy Spirit. It was least expected and it happened at a maximum. Like you said, “it just came out”. Prior to that experience I was kinda like how you expressed, wanting to believe I have it, but unsure. But once I received it there was no doubt in my mind. When you receive the Holy Ghost you know. It’s the best feeling ever. I received the holy spirt a year after my baptism. Praise Jesus
Mont&Kay MusicMinistries Hi. Just to update, I did. January 25th at a prayer conference. I received the gift of tongues. I was also freed/ delivered from demonic forces in my life. Praise be to God🙏🏾💕
That is Awesome to hear! Keep using Your tongues, that’s how We grow Spiritually. I encourage You to read the book of Ephesians. That book is Powerful! It will also help You for what’s to come in Your future. GOD Bless You in JESUS Name!
Hey man I want to say thank you so much. You said you knew this video would edify someone. I am that someone. This is exactly how my journey is going. I haven’t received it yet and i’m desperately chasing it. I needed this message tonight man. Thank you and God bless you!
Brother this testimony is so encouraging! It is a testimony of perseverance! I pray that every listener and viewer will continue to press into his presence and not grow weary so that they too may obtain the promise!
Thank you for writing Brian! & blessed be the name of The Lord for what he’s done through this message, many have been encouraged and about 4-5 have told me how that they have received the promise! Glory to God! The Lord is good & his mercy endureth forever!
I need the holy ghost so bad I have faith I repented and praying and begging I'm so discourage I get anxiety in the meddle of my sleep worrying that I may die without it or the Lord comes and still don't have it and I don't know what's stopping me!! Please pray for me. I start wondering if God is covering His ears from my prayer. 😭😭
Blessed be the name of The Lord Troy, you have to trust God because He is faithful, & that which he hath promised he will fulfill, as long as you are walking in obedience to the word of God, His ears are open unto your prayers... Keep on striving, you will Be prayed For. In JESUS name.
Troy Smiths you should go on a 3 day fast (no food, only water) and during those days of fasting keep pressing your prayers toward God. When we fast our spirit gets more in tune with the father. Keep seeking and asking. He will answer John 14:13-14
@@psychoarmy1 I am working on it and following everything that bible says and everything pastor Gino Jennings says I believe in short order I will. I will testify once i receive it thanks you for your encouragements I watch it all everytime I feel discouraged
I felt the Holy Ghost from from my belly and I spoke out!!!!! And I speak as often as I can it helps me in so many ways throughout my life I’m so grateful
God bless you my brother! Love your journey to receiving the HolyGhost! I was filled with the HolyGhost when I 18 years old and that was 35 years ago! The power of God is real and I love the Lord Jesus Christ! Nobody or nothing can do you like Jesus! Be thou encouraged! Win many souls for the Lord! Apostolic Doctrine is right it denotes the scriptures in action according to the book of Acts and of course the plan of salvation revealed in Acts 2:38.
yes sometimes we have to press in and ask god for the gifts of the spirit. i was praying and said to my self :"i geuss its not gonna happen" so getting ready to stand up in my room suddenly started to speak in tongues and cried cause the scriptures just happened to me.
Repent dear brother of our sins (stop sinning), then be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and ask Him to fill you with His Spirit. He loves you and is waiting for you. Bless you in Jesus's name.
Thank you for sharing this testimony of your struggle and how you persevered to receive Gods promise! I have struggled so long and this is encouraging and builds my faith to continue to press in and believe I will also receive ♥️🙏🙌 Grace and blessing be multiplied to you and through you!
@Hanna- Kay Miller You will receive the Holy Spirit, because you hunger and thirst after it *(Matthew 5:6)* Jesus died to have the privilege of filling you with Himself. He wants you to be filled with His Spirit You will receive the Holy Spirit. Keep on seeking after Him. Grace ✝️ Peace🇨🇦

God bless you you are a a child of God keep doing what you doing in your life keep praying this worship him spirit and Truth he have a calling on your life
Blessed be the name of Jesus Christ! Thank you kindly, for your encouragement! “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:12-13
I experienced to be possessed by the Holy Spirit twice, whatever it was I know from my heart it was the Holy Spirit! Because I was praying sincerely and fully dependent on GOD at that time around 4 in the morning. When I was at the verge of my prayer the word/s coming out from my mouth suddenly kept on repeating and it became faster and faster I was aware I was speaking that way but I have no control over my body. And then a sudden flash came in before my eyes and I realized I was not speaking from my mind but from my soul and spirit like I don't have to think a word to say that my mouth kept on speaking and speaking from what my spirit has to say.What amazes me experiencing the Holy Spirit was my physical body being thrown around like I was being swayed by the wind until I completely laid on the floor, I was keeping on praising our GOD, thanking HIM, confessing and admitting my sins to forgive me. I felt my spirit was crying because of so much joy and longingly to be in the presence of GOD like I was ready to get there in heaven.
Years after salvation, I am still waiting to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues. Thanks for your testimony. Please pray that it would happen for me soon. I will seek after Him more earnestly.
It's more than just being a nice person or following The Teachings by what we understand the world to be. The world and life are not ours to understand. Then dwell in which role The Lord plays in each thought, gesture and action. It's the whole "Do unto others" and concern yourself not with the equation percieved through worldly rationale, but how The Lord used us to change what would've been left undone. And finally to have that is to have everything through The Narrow Path that's been placed out for each of us through Christ Jesus. Thanks brother I really needed this. ✝ 🌄 Blessings..
Hallelujah Glory be to God... This is my testimony... As a new convert then I also tried getting the Holy Spirit but no matter how hand was laid on me.. I didn't get it.. I was so frustrated and angry.. I remember crying that why are people falling down and manifesting but I have want this thing I have always prayed for God to use me as his vessel and I didn't get it.. and after that getting into some kind of addiction that completely drench me spiritually... But hallelujah God is faithful.. fast forward to last year.. God brought me back to him re igniting my passion for him.. and I was praying one day... For sometimes the devil will make me feel like I'm just speaking rubbish because even when trying to speak in tongues I'm fully aware and sometimes I'm like what???.. but brethren God is faithful he said in is word that blessed are those who want to obey God more than to eat and drink he said they will be giving what they want.. I was praying that day and I began to speak like never before it comes on it own flowing but the flowing was silent very silent that I can only flow in speaking in tongues withing me.. then I began to speak as the spirit leads and to God's Glory I was speaking in tongues fluently with no condonation from the devil because I felt it... Glory be to God and it pays to wait on God... Feeling can be deceptive it not compulsory the Holy Ghost comes by a mighty rushing winds.. like I use to pray then.. now I'm trusting God for full manifestation of the Holy Spirit and not just speaking in tongues. I want everything the spirit of God as to offer
Currently contending for it (just had my waterbaptism, the woman prayed over me nothing happened either, it has been a bit of a struggle), thank you for sharing! I trust God. You have a very gentle spirit it is really attractive. "my literal brother, my natural brother" yes with Christians you have to clarify haha.
Praise god🙌🏼 I recently got baptized in the name Jesus of Nazareth but I have yet to receive the Holy Spirit. This testimony gave me more hope that I will be filled thank you!!
This video was very uplifting. Thanks for posting 🙏 A similar situation happened to me. So after a while I just got discouraged, and just began to believe that I have the Holy Spirit already. But then it just came, I wish I could explain it better. I pray those who wish to receive the Holy Spirt do so🙏
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your testimony I have prayed and had people pray over me to receive the Holy Spirit but have never spoke in tongues, please pray for me I will continue to seek God and His promises. God bless you.
It will come as you continue to seek and be diligent, always keep in mind it is a promise.. Its according to our faith 🙌 I will pray now. “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14 KJV
Jen daughter do you have a desire to want to Live right ? If you do you are born again also if you find yourself not wanting too engage in ur pervious sinful acts or lifestyle...if the answer is no your are born again and you have Holy Ghost residing in you..listen the more you desire God the more realistate the Holy Ghost is Gonna lock down in your heart..when you talk to God simple say God have your way in my heart ,the more you surrender to Him the more He manifest Himself in your heart and the more your willing to want to be controlled by Him,speaking in,tongues is 1 of the gifts of the Spirit,if God wants to manisfest Himself in that way thru you ..amen if not amen ..you are still born again because you have the desire to still want to please God .. When temptation comes do you here a voice saying dont do that? The Spirit of God is talking to your conscience so you dont yield to sin Hes not going to make you not sin, He wants you to choose not to yield to sin ,God will not take free will of the table what you choose He leaves it up to you..,,,the word of God says blessed is the man the endureth temptation..read 1 cort 12 starting at v 4..talks about diffrent gifts of the Spirit..the evidence of having the Holy Ghost is when you dont have the desire for sin in your life anymore...you desire a clean break from sin,with repentence in your heart this is the evidence of being born again.
Denver auston The Bible says all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproduction, correction and instruction in righteousness... The Bible says when we are born again we are able to see the kingdom of God (John 3:3) and able also to hear Gods words (John 8:47) and by reading Gods words and actually being able to perceive them, we understand our sinful state and then we desire to live right.. Amen to what you said concerning that because the scriptures agree.. I will tell you this though, speaking in another tongue and prophesying is the initial evidence when someone receives the Holy Ghost, that is what happened in the Old Testament when the spirit of God came upon the prophets and when the New Testament began, they spake in tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4) the “gift of tongues” is also a gift that God gives severally to whom he will (in the church) but it is not that same manner of tongues as when someone receives the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Denver auston Amen thank you so much, I will continue to press on in my walk with the Lord and yes I have stopped living the was i used to, God took the desires away, lately I have been having dreams of Jesus return, one of which seemed more of a vision than a dream, it was as it was actually taking place hard to explain, my there is a fire in my heart Jesus is coming soon, last night I dream of what 2 Thessalonians 2 looks like I had to google parts of what I saw and this scripture came up!! In my dream people were deceived with magic and miracles then I saw the face of Harry Potter up on the sky formed of clouds (weird I know) I began to tell my kids and my husband to back off because that wasn’t of God and we walked away, next thing you know pieces of glass were stabbing people! They were so mesmerized with all this signs that they didn’t realize it was not of God. So sad so many people turning away and hardening their heart to Jesus.
Thanks Bro, this has really motivated me. I also thought hands must be laid on for someone to receive. I live in Germany and here people don’t really believe in the baptism of the holyspirit and speaking in tongues.
@Loveline Schubert You believe, so you will receive. God can fill you with hands laid on you or not. People have received the Holy Spirit at their bedsides. Just keep seeking God and He will give you the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter if those around you believe or not. His word does not lie. Grace and Peace to you✝️🇨🇦
I’ve allowed men’s doctrines to taint my view of receiving the Holy Spirit. It feels like I’ve made it complicated now. There’s a fear of receiving the kundalini spirit attached to this. I know for a fact that the Holy Spirit is real. He will fix me. I have to become like a child again though. I want the Holy Spirit! 🙌🏽 I’ve been seeking since I’m as a child, but I was fearful. You have a peace surrounding you. I don’t just want to speak in tongues. I don’t want to show off. What I desire most is to have the character of Christ and to have the fruit of the spirit. Also, I’m excited though. “To everyone that knocketh receiveth”. Amen.
@Maliyah Miller Don’t fear! You will not receive an unclean spirit. You will receive the Holy Spirit, because you hunger and thirst after it *(Matthew 5:6)* That’s the devil trying to fill your mind with junk. God wants to give you the Holy Spirit more than you want it. He died to have the privilege of filling you with Himself. You will receive the Holy Spirit. It’s yours too... Grace ✝️ Peace 🇨🇦
That is such a BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONY Praise the Lord. Let it go around yhe world. Young people must see and beleive! Thank you. I promise God to come back and testify what that video has done for my house. Jan 27, 2021
Hallelujah, May God indeed fill you with His Spirit, for it is His promise. That you may also be a witness. Seek and ye shall find... I will pray with you Kevin, that God may fill you with His Spirit. In Jesus name Amen “And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” Acts 5:32 KJV
Amen! GOD swill fill You, just repent and turn away from sin. Ask GOD to fill You and be sincere, and Amen that's right, seek and You shall find! Seek GOD with all Your heart. I Pray GOD will fill You also, in JESUS Name! Also, get baptized in the name of JESUS, for the remission of sins. Acts 2:38.
I had a lot of the same things happen to me .I got angry and then God spoke to me to step out from behind a pew and He would meet me.I did and He did!!!!Hallelujah,Hallelujah Hallelujah
Really? I’m at a place where I envy people who have the lord’s spirit. I’m having trouble with doubting and trusting God. I see all of this wickedness going on and I know that Jesus is coming back soon. I panic because I know I need his spirit, but it’s been about 12 years and I still didn’t get the spirit of the lord. I’m 19 now. 😕 I’m going to keep seeking though.
@Child You don’t have to envy. That is a distraction and energy wasted on the wrong thing. I understand what you are saying though. You hunger and thirst after righteousness and want to be filled *(Matthew 5:6)* well God wants to fill you too! Keep telling Him that you are hungry and thirsty for Him and He will fill you with His Spirit. He’s your God too!
I want to give a testimony if I can. So I originally got baptized when I was 18 or 19 and I think that I maybe got the Holy Spirit not long after but I questioned it. Sometimes I would believe I did other times I didn't. The pastor at the church I was attending at the time said I did though. I remember what happened and a few words came out in tongues I believe but just a few. Like did I really or did I not. I never spoke in tongues again. I fell out of the Pentecostal church I went to also not long after all this. Probably within a few years after. I guess I pretty much backslid for quite a few years. Over the last couple years of my life I really started questioning my salvation. Was I ever really saved. Did I ever get the Holy Spirit. That God was just like this angry tyrant and that I should be scared of Him. Anxiety about being struck down by God at any second. I know now this was being used to draw me closer to Him though now. I had some health scares and the death of my grandmother really put me into a bad place too. And I think it's about this time it all started to come together. There was many other times in the past that I would ask God to let me speak in tongues but nothing would ever happen. I did get pretty down about this. I also did start believing the same about a changed life is the sign of the Holy Spirit that some people believe as well. I recently probably withing the last 3ish maybe 4 years really started praying more and started reading the Bible more. Not as much as I should but I did start. I asked God to let me speak in tongues again during this time but nothing happened. I came across this video one night and watched it. This was also a night I started going into a bad place mentally. I went into my closet (literally) and started praying and I asked God to send the gift of the Holy Spirit to me and I was opening my heart and mind. I really don't know how everything works and I believe that is the mystery of God but I told Him to come in please. I was determined to just pray and ask for this. I don't know how long it was but probably about less than an hour and the Holy Spirit did come on me and I spoke in tongues like for real no doubting tongues. Never a shred of doubt again. I guess I just really let go that night and He gave me the gift He promised. There were times while I was praying before the tongues happened that I felt like stopping praying or maybe starting to wind it up but something keep telling me keep going and I did and Jesus sent the Holy Spirit and I did speak in tongues. He keeps His promises. I thank God so much that He did this in me. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind anymore and I want to keep growing and maturing in Him.
Thank you for this video buddy. I have been seeking the baptism and I know that God has set me apart and appointed me to sing for His glory and I know that I am anointed but I can’t wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit because I know that this is only the beginning.
Thank you for commenting! But let us follow the Lord! 🙌🙌 not man. ”And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?“ 1 Corinthians 4:6-7 KJV
When you said before you received the spirit your mind wonderd and you was falling asleep that really hit me as there are times I have been speaking to God about some things and like today I thi k I was talking to Holy spirit and felt tired all of a sudden and I foolishly thought maybe something good would come of me sleeping but it didn't and this isn't first time it has happened... Now when it happens nevt time I will stand up and persist in my prayer u till I am finished.
Thank you, thank you for sharing this video. It gives me so much hope that even if it doesn't happen right away, it will happen. I have complete faith. God bless you 🙏
Salutations brother. Thank you for sharing; for of a truth your detailed account of both time of day and place by the bed is so very similar to mine...and I thought I'd never hear about it after listening to our dear brother Clinton's account. Alleluia!
In Jesus name. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 KJV
I apologise for a late response but I had to comment. It took a long time for me as well but it was on my end because I allowed the spirit of doubt to manifest in my mind. Soon I got and it was very foreign but it felt amazing, I was truly amazed by what had came upon me. What I mostly struggle with now is the fear of Him taking it away. But I can say, glory to God, that He hasn't. I absolutely enjoyed your testimony and I think your heart is beautiful. Please keep it up ☺️☺️
May God bless you brother for the testimony. I have been facing a similar challenge which had got me thinking that perhaps God has rejected me. It hasnt been easy
Robert, praise God for he has not rejected you. A promise is a promise from GOD, and remember He is not a man that He should lie. Keep seeking, I remember the times still today, but God is faithful and fulfilled His word in me, and will do the same with those that seek Him and obey. Rejoice in this! Blessed be the name of The Lord!
Praise Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior 🙏 oh! Jesus saved me right on time! ❤️✝️❤️ May the Lord lead us to his Will all the days we have left on this earth ❤️✝️❤️ Christ is 👑 I love you all like Jesus loves me 🙏
I thank our Father in heaven so much for this video because its so on point! I can relate i have to have his spirit and i will not be okay waiting forever Lord consume me in your spirit! Thanks so much for sharing
As soon as I seen your face I knew you had the Holy Ghost. He Glows in Your face. Holy Ghost Glow 👍 it’s sad so many people try to trample this experience as not real.
Think about it. You had Gods Spirit the entire time living in you, but when you asked for confirmation and recited that scripture of God giving gifts to his children, THEN you were given the gift of tongues. Speaking in tongues is a gift from God, not evidence that you have the Holy Spirit. You had the Holy Spirit the entire time, but the gift of tongues was a gift given as confirmation! Stay blessed!
Hello Alberta! Thank you for watching & commenting, but of a truth according to the word of God, I did not have the Holy Spirit the entire time, until I was endued with power from on high, as the Spirit gave me utterance. (Acts 2:4) the Bible also speaks of spiritual gifts which work by that Spirit which is the Holy Ghost. (1cor 12) We see all throughout the Bible (O.T & N.T) when the Holy Ghost comes upon someone they spoke in another tongue & prophesied. (Numbers 11:25-27, 1Sam 10:10, Luke 1:41-45 also Isaiah 28:11-12 and 1corinthians 14:21-22 which came to pass on the day of Pentecost) which also came upon the Samaritans in acts 8 and gentiles in acts 10 the same way it came upon the Jews in acts 2. This is what happened to the people of God before, when the received the Spirit of our father, it’s the same thing that’ll happen today, when someone does. I don’t have the gift of diversities of tongues but I do have the Spirit who gives to all the members of the body, dividing to every man severally as he will. Amen
Glory to God ! “O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.” Psalms 68:35 KJV
Thanks for your video on the Holy Spirit. I have been seeking the filling but it has not been happening for me. I was getting a little discouraged and then I saw your video. I am going to continue to seek the filling of the Spirit. I think your video was for me or people like me.
Wow powerful Testimony 🙏🏾✝️. God bless you And prosper you and favor You in everything that you do. You are a motivation to me to continue pressing and serving our lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏾✝️✝️✝️🙏🏾😃😃😃.
This name “yahuah” is not found in the scriptures... Jesus is “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 KJV
@@earnestlycontending885 it is not found cause His name was remove from the scriptures,but the Father of creation name shall be known all over the earth.If the son came in His Father name why is his name J.C ,please do your research in prayer.
@@courageouslyontimelively4159 Hello, you said “if the son came in his father name why is his name Jesus Christ, please do your research in prayer.” The answer to your question is in the scriptures, the son of God received his name by inheritance (Hebrews 1:4) He manifested his fathers name (John 17:6) If you believe the Word of God (KJV in English) The name Jesus Christ is the name above all names that are named, and there is none other name given among men whereby we must be saved than the name of Jesus. Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:9-10 If you have questions concerning the scriptures I’m happy to show you more
Earnestly ! God Bless you brother let me tell you my testimony how I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit that happened about 10 years ago I wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit so bad I went on a weeky day of fasting 1 day a week for about 1 year at the end of 1 year nothing happened then I started to loose hope but remember that it's in his time not ours then about 1 more month past then I had a dream and in my dream I was in a state fair and people was coming and going into the road of the state fair I remember the road had a wooden fence on both side of the road and it was packed and as I was in this road going into the fair I saw 2 people that were different from the people there and as they got closer to me I could tell from far a way that they were dressed in white and as I got closer to them I could tell in my spirit that they were Angels from God and I said WoW ! Angels from God ! and I got scared and the Angel on my left was short and heavy and the Angel on the right was tall and slim without wings and as they got about 4 feet from me the Angel on the left started to raise his hand and put it completly on my face but before he coverd my face he said to me " Don't be afraid look at what the Lord is going to do now " then he coverd my face and it felt like a bolt of 1,000,000 watt of electricity hit me and in the dream I started to speak in tongues but in my dream I could see that only half of my mouth was speaking in tongues and both of the sides of my mouth was stitched shut that was the dream that I had then 4 months pasted and I forgot the dream then I went to a church service that I was invited by my girfriend and she told me that a preacher from the Dominican Republic was going to preach and I said ok ! I will go then as he finished preaching the Holy Spirit started to minister and the Lord started to talk to many people in the service and I had my head bow down then the preacher pointed to me with his finger and said young man and I looked up to see whom the preacher was talking to and it was me and he said come here so I went to the front of the church and the preacher said to me lift up your hands and I lifted up both of my hands then he said repeat after me what I say and he said thank you Lord for what you are about to do and as I repeated the words he put his hand on my forehead and the preacher said receive the Holy Spirit man I tell you it felt like my body just exploded on the inside I was walking on clouds and my mouth started to speak in another language that I could not understand but it was my spirit talking to God and after that I said to myself wow the Lord baptized me with the Holy Spirit
What a testimony I know one thing sometimes it's hard to get in contact with Jesus not everyone is gonna catch the holy ghost right away sometime's that person haft to go through some things in order to get the holy ghost but the more you pray the more something will happen and some people may get the holy ghost in another way call you haft to do this or that and you'll get it but there is a holy ghost in prayer waiting to happen i do believe that
For me it's been 9 months. :( Still hoping and praying. I've gotten discouraged so many times. I feel sad and empty and lonely every single day and I know God is the only one that can fix it. I just feel so sad.
Have you obeyed the gospel? If you have then patiently wait for the promise of the father, trust Him.. I received a call from a brother yesterday who called and said he received the Holy Ghost! After he had been waiting for a longer period of time than yourself.. Is anything too hard for the Lord?
@@earnestlycontending885 I don't think I have. I've been living in sin. I want to repent but I'm too afraid. I want to so bad. I feel so far from God. My Sin is blocking me from him. I want to feel close to God, in rightstanding, I want the peace that surpasses understanding.
@@MissionLog the commandment unto life is to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. If you have been living in sin, to repent is to turn from it and do that which is right and pleasing in the eyes of God. (according to his word) As it is written “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 KJV
Hello Sierra, Thank you for writing, Hang on to the words of Jesus, for He is the faithful witness that cannot lie.. Keep seeking but more importantly keep believing. It will come! “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Matthew 21:22 KJV “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:49 KJV “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?” Luke 11:13 KJV God bless you, as you continue to seek Him.
Earnestly Contending I wish it can just come naturally. Not just some imaginary thing. I heard so much about the Holy Ghost, which is why so many people convert so they can experience it. I hope I can experience it on a spiritual level instead of material stuff
Earnestly Contending If you’re interested in a preacher. He preachers straight holiness. God made & sent preacher. Recommend listening to him. Look on TH-cam; Pastor Gino Jennings! :)
Do you believe it’s a prerequisite to enter heaven? Just checking your theology on that? (I did a search on this today because I asked for it last night and didn’t receive it. I was very encouraged by your message. Thank you so much. I have felt very abandoned in the past because of how many times I have asked and how discouraging it is afterwards.)
@@ebuchanan1 well praise The Lord, I don’t have a theology just by the grace of God the holy scriptures “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Romans 8:9 KJV “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 KJV
@@earnestlycontending885 what He means by ‘the spirit’ could mean the Holy Spirit- the Holy Spirit is what has guided me up until this point for over a year now, teaching me, convicting me, filling me! The gift of speaking in tongues as a personal prayer language, I’m taught, is a gift that we should earnestly seek- but not a prerequisite to be an actual child of God.. There are so many verses that we could take literally that need to be fully studied in context, etc.
@@ebuchanan1 you’re speaking about a couple different things here. In acts 2 they received the Spirit and prophesied, as well in acts 10 and chapter 19 as well, this is what we see happened when men were filled with the Holy Ghost “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” Acts 2:33 KJV
@@earnestlycontending885 so when he says “of water and the spirit”, I imagine he means 1) baptism and 2) how the Holy Spirit inhabits ours - I believe that upon the confession of our sin and acceptance of forgiveness, we then inhabit the Holy Spirit. I believe the e second we receive Jesus as lord and savior, boom- we have the Holy Spirit. I thought that’s why it says ‘as evidenced by tongues’ - meaning that tongues is one of the manifestations of the spirit. It does also command us to earnestly desire the gifts. I have, for years, wanted it and I keep striving for it and getting so depressed when I don’t receive that it makes me start doubting everything. I don’t think that me what the father wants for me- so to add that I’m going to hell if I don’t speak in tongues enhances that mental torment. We are saved by grace- it’s one thing to truly desire and seek out speaking in tongues but it can become and idol in and of itself- but HE alone is the idol.
Amen I definitely know how you feel. I went through that and would think all the time, how could someone who has no desire to serve God receive it and here I am trying and trying over and over again. The Bible teaches we receive the Holy Ghost by faith (in Galatians 3) and if someone goes to God in faith God will fill them. Some things we don’t understand in our carnal mind, but Gods word is true... “Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.” “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”
Because it's in God's timing, not ours. We don't just demand to receive it on commando and receive it. That's not how it works. God will do it, in His perfect timing. And we just persevere in seeking Him, in remaining faithful. Don't get discouraged. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing your testimony of how you received the Holy Ghost. Everyone needs to know who believes in our Heavenly Father. I am sure the Holy Ghost led you to make this video. Blessings !!!

@@earnestlycontending885 👌
Here is my story of how I got filled with the Holy Ghost. It was in 2012 before I came to Bethesda. It was one Sunday in 2012 I was 19 at the time. So my Late Pastor Bishop James Johnson at the time was preaching I don't know what he was preaching something but anyway as he was preaching it felt like everybody was invisible it was just me and God at the time and I was 😭 and I knew at that moment something was going to happen. So at the end of his sermon he said Does anyone want the Holy Ghost? I immediately went down to the altar without no hesitation I stepped out in faith and I believed that I was going to get the Holy Ghost that day. So I got baptized and I went back to the tarrying room in the chapel we still have a chapel till this day so anyway I went to the tarrying room and I said Thank you Jesus for maybe four or six times and I got Filled with the Holy Ghost at the age of 19 or 20 I don't know but I know I got it because I was speaking in my tongues louder and louder and then I remember switching from my heavenly language to English. I didn't know that I was speaking in my heavenly language but anyway I went to my older brother Gregory jr and the Holy Spirit told me to tell him "Whatever it is let it go In Jesus Name and I want back to speaking in tongues and it calmed down. Then in 2013 was when I joined Bethesda Temple of The Apostolic Faith and Pastor Julian Johnson who is my Pastor now ask me what Happened to me and I Said i Got the Holy Ghost and I immediately started to speak In tongues again. So i just thank God for giving me this gift it's amazing. Thank you Jesus. I pray someone is inspired my testimony and I hope it blesses you and encouraged you in Jesus Name Amen.
Testimony!!! Pray for me as I seek him for the Holy Ghost!
Brittiany C have you received Him yet ?
Will definitely be praying for you that you get the Holy Ghost
It’s already done in Jesus Name!!
Have you received?

I feel you on this one, I was baptized in Jesus name and repented, just now receiving the Holy Ghost last week after 6 months. It did not happen until I quit trying to do it on my own, and gave it to the Lord.
@Rachel Brand thank you praise the Lord
@@Edtheboss-r7u pray ask Jesus to help you overcome your specific sins, repent, turn away from them, get baptized in Jesus name and you will receive the Holy Spirit.
Praise Jesus! What do u mean it came after not doing it yourself and giving it to the lord? What does this look like?
Thankyou. You’re story has made me feel not alone. I needed this today.
You may not get this reply, however possibly someone else will.
You are never alone...I hope the scripture will give someone a little comfort that may need it. The hope that remains in our hearts during life's difficulties, is the Holy Spirit given by God.

I was saved and baptized in the water a couple months ago. I’m in the word daily and prayer daily seeking Jesus and to be baptized in the Holy Spirit everyday. I want him so bad I can taste it lol but the devil comes at me every time it doesn’t happen. Pray for me man, I know it’s on GODs timing that it’ll happen but maybe some extra prayers will help it along and help me with the strength to keep chasing no matter how long it takes.... my gut dropped when you said that guy took 30yrs 😱lol
Hey brother Ask and you shall recieve. Knock and it shall be open unto you🙏🏼 Matthew 7:7. Brother I too was there where you’re at but the Lord will never give up on you he didn’t give up on me even though I thought it was too late. I was caught dead in sin for many years and brother I just recently received The Holy Ghost Jesus is so good to me I thought it was impossible but brother nothing is impossible with The Lord🙏🏼
@@divadbanfino6742 you mean you were a Christian before and then backslide and then comes back to Jesus now?
Devorah Tenajeros I was raised to be catholic so I grew up going to church but I wouldn’t say I believed because in the back of my mind my whole life was the “what if” God didn’t exist, so many “what if’s” but I’d say I wasn’t saved until recently this year when I actually started believing even though I’ve prayed a lot before even being saved but I was still living a sinful life so it all didn’t matter because I didn’t know for certain God was there in my life but I’m no longer a catholic now I’d like to call myself a servant of The Lord and a son. After being depressed for a while and being caught up in marijuana because of it Jesus brought me to him and I never want to go back because Jesus is all I want🙏🏼 Live for Him because he died for us
@@divadbanfino6742 That's a good testimony. Continue on serving the Lord. All glory belongs to Him!
God's timing is 'already!'. Ask and He will give you the Holy Spirit in full measure.. If you have asked already, then believe that you have received him. Then act out in faith! The devil cannot stop this; he is limited to the sense realm and can do absolutely nothing to your spirit man. If you are still struggling with this, then you must be approaching it logically rather than by faith..
Our story is kind of similar. I was seeking God and I unfortunately went to Islam. Then I met someone who helped me to find Jesus at a Pentecostal church. Like you I tried to tell myself I didn’t need to speak in tongues to have the Holy Spirit but I know it’s truth. I just went to the altar today and did not receive the Holy Spirit but all I can do is keep praying and fasting. I’m hoping God will bless me soon in Jesus name. I appreciated your story thank you
1 Corinthians 12 is pretty clear, not all speak in tongues
Nor should everyone be expected to
Every single word out of your mouth, including 2hr prayers and scriptures and trying to emulate it, EVERYTHING is my life right now. For 13 months now. Its like you took my mind and read it out loud, everything everything everything. This is mind blowing 🤯
Wow! Seriously? Praise The Lord, may God guide you accordingly in this situation.
Love your testimony. Mine was completely different, so supernatural. Not what I was expecting. A little background, I suffered from anxiety for about 8 years, I was addicted to alcohol and weed, I developed depression after I had my daughter and for years I had sleep paralysis. I always wondered if someone did witchcraft on me because I never messed with the occult. Demons came to me every single night to torment me literally for about 3 years straight. It made me so angry with life and God. My mom is a born again Christian and I started to attend church with her not knowing what to expect. September 26, 2019 I had a vision early in the morning while praying to God and he gave me the holy spirit. I didn't speak tongues but my life has been transformed, I do not recognize myself anymore. I get baptized tomorrow morning and I love what I have with Jesus. I love that he isn't a fable like I thought too. Life is too painful to walk alone. This new road that I am on was extremely difficult to get here but I am here and there is hope for everyone. Keep praying and seeking and do not expect it to be easy because it's not. God bless 💜🕊
God used this video for me bro, in the past I’ve tried many nights to seek the Holy Spirit but just couldnt get it or feel anything. I was just looking at a video of how to receive the Holy Spirit from a sister in Christ right before this video & she was praying for the Holy Spirit to be infilled in the listeners ( mind you sadly I’ve backsliden ) so the words she was saying wasn’t hitting me as they should because of my sin so I got angry and discouraged similar to you so I went off of the video and went off of TH-cam .. so I went back on a couple of seconds later , I wanna say something moved me to type in testimonies of people getting it but I’m not sure. Anyways I have courage now from this 💯 praise God. I’m turning away
I have yet to receive the gift of tongues. I pray about it all the time. But I can confidently say that I have received the Holy Spirit. It was least expected and it happened at a maximum. Like you said, “it just came out”. Prior to that experience I was kinda like how you expressed, wanting to believe I have it, but unsure.
But once I received it there was no doubt in my mind. When you receive the Holy Ghost you know. It’s the best feeling ever. I received the holy spirt a year after my baptism. Praise Jesus
Hi, I just want to encourage You and ask You,
Have You spoken yet?
You must speak in tongues, that's how You are a witness. 👍🏾
Mont&Kay MusicMinistries Hi. Just to update, I did. January 25th at a prayer conference. I received the gift of tongues. I was also freed/ delivered from demonic forces in my life. Praise be to God🙏🏾💕
That is Awesome to hear!
Keep using Your tongues, that’s how We grow Spiritually.
I encourage You to read the book of Ephesians.
That book is Powerful! It will also help You for what’s to come in Your future. GOD Bless You in JESUS Name!

Sigh... 2 years and I've kind of just felt defeated.
I need the holy ghost so bad I have faith I repented and praying and begging I'm so discourage I get anxiety in the meddle of my sleep worrying that I may die without it or the Lord comes and still don't have it and I don't know what's stopping me!! Please pray for me.
I start wondering if God is covering His ears from my prayer. 😭😭
Blessed be the name of The Lord Troy, you have to trust God because He is faithful, & that which he hath promised he will fulfill, as long as you are walking in obedience to the word of God, His ears are open unto your prayers... Keep on striving, you will
Be prayed For.
In JESUS name.
Troy Smiths you should go on a 3 day fast (no food, only water) and during those days of fasting keep pressing your prayers toward God. When we fast our spirit gets more in tune with the father. Keep seeking and asking. He will answer John 14:13-14

Love your journey to receiving the HolyGhost!
I was filled with the HolyGhost when I 18 years old and that was 35 years ago! The power of God is real and I love the Lord Jesus Christ! Nobody or nothing can do you like Jesus! Be thou encouraged! Win many souls for the Lord! Apostolic Doctrine is right it denotes the scriptures in action according to the book of Acts and of course the plan of salvation revealed in Acts 2:38.

Amen and Amen!
yes sometimes we have to press in and ask god for the gifts of the spirit. i was praying and said to my self :"i geuss its not gonna happen" so getting ready to stand up in my room suddenly started to speak in tongues and cried cause the scriptures just happened to me.
Praise God! I’m still seeking i hope i get there one day too
I really want to be saved and Holy Ghost filled..it’s what’s missing in my life.I need this change in my life
Repent dear brother of our sins (stop sinning), then be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and ask Him to fill you with His Spirit. He loves you and is waiting for you. Bless you in Jesus's name.
Thank you for sharing this testimony of your struggle and how you persevered to receive Gods promise! I have struggled so long and this is encouraging and builds my faith to continue to press in and believe I will also receive ♥️🙏🙌 Grace and blessing be multiplied to you and through you!
Amen, Thank you for commenting, The Lord strengthen your faith to receive the promise of the father!
Love this testimony. It offers strength. I am seeking the BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.”
Hebrews 3:12-13
I experienced to be possessed by the Holy Spirit twice, whatever it was I know from my heart it was the Holy Spirit! Because I was praying sincerely and fully dependent on GOD at that time around 4 in the morning. When I was at the verge of my prayer the word/s coming out from my mouth suddenly kept on repeating and it became faster and faster I was aware I was speaking that way but I have no control over my body. And then a sudden flash came in before my eyes and I realized I was not speaking from my mind but from my soul and spirit like I don't have to think a word to say that my mouth kept on speaking and speaking from what my spirit has to say.What amazes me experiencing the Holy Spirit was my physical body being thrown around like I was being swayed by the wind until I completely laid on the floor, I was keeping on praising our GOD, thanking HIM, confessing and admitting my sins to forgive me. I felt my spirit was crying because of so much joy and longingly to be in the presence of GOD like I was ready to get there in heaven.
Very encouraging! I am happy for you. I needed this testimony to stay strong and encouraged in my journey. God bless you
Years after salvation, I am still waiting to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues. Thanks for your testimony. Please pray that it would happen for me soon. I will seek after Him more earnestly.
It's more than just being a nice person or following The Teachings by what we understand the world to be. The world and life are not ours to understand. Then dwell in which role The Lord plays in each thought, gesture and action. It's the whole "Do unto others" and concern yourself not with the equation percieved through worldly rationale, but how The Lord used us to change what would've been left undone. And finally to have that is to have everything through The Narrow Path that's been placed out for each of us through Christ Jesus. Thanks brother I really needed this. ✝ 🌄 Blessings..
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! I am so glad He filled you with the Holy Ghost! God Bless!
This gives me the strength to continue coz I have been seeking.
Me also
Glory to God brother, may God continue to bless you. Beautiful testimony and thank you so much for sharing. Alleluia 🙏
You didn't doubt at all, a double minded person won't receive anything from God. Also, God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
Hallelujah Glory be to God...
This is my testimony... As a new convert then I also tried getting the Holy Spirit but no matter how hand was laid on me.. I didn't get it.. I was so frustrated and angry.. I remember crying that why are people falling down and manifesting but I have want this thing I have always prayed for God to use me as his vessel and I didn't get it.. and after that getting into some kind of addiction that completely drench me spiritually...
But hallelujah God is faithful.. fast forward to last year.. God brought me back to him re igniting my passion for him.. and I was praying one day... For sometimes the devil will make me feel like I'm just speaking rubbish because even when trying to speak in tongues I'm fully aware and sometimes I'm like what???.. but brethren God is faithful he said in is word that blessed are those who want to obey God more than to eat and drink he said they will be giving what they want.. I was praying that day and I began to speak like never before it comes on it own flowing but the flowing was silent very silent that I can only flow in speaking in tongues withing me.. then I began to speak as the spirit leads and to God's Glory I was speaking in tongues fluently with no condonation from the devil because I felt it... Glory be to God and it pays to wait on God...
Feeling can be deceptive it not compulsory the Holy Ghost comes by a mighty rushing winds.. like I use to pray then.. now I'm trusting God for full manifestation of the Holy Spirit and not just speaking in tongues. I want everything the spirit of God as to offer
Currently contending for it (just had my waterbaptism, the woman prayed over me nothing happened either, it has been a bit of a struggle), thank you for sharing! I trust God. You have a very gentle spirit it is really attractive. "my literal brother, my natural brother" yes with Christians you have to clarify haha.

Keep seeking in Jesus name sister He will give Himself to you!😁🙏
This video was very uplifting. Thanks for posting 🙏 A similar situation happened to me. So after a while I just got discouraged, and just began to believe that I have the Holy Spirit already. But then it just came, I wish I could explain it better. I pray those who wish to receive the Holy Spirt do so🙏
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your testimony I have prayed and had people pray over me to receive the Holy Spirit but have never spoke in tongues, please pray for me I will continue to seek God and His promises. God bless you.
It will come as you continue to seek and be diligent, always keep in mind it is a promise.. Its according to our faith 🙌
I will pray now.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Rashadijn2 Amen thank you brother!
Jen daughter do you have a desire to want to Live right ? If you do you are born again also if you find yourself not wanting too engage in ur pervious sinful acts or lifestyle...if the answer is no your are born again and you have Holy Ghost residing in you..listen the more you desire God the more realistate the Holy Ghost is Gonna lock down in your heart..when you talk to God simple say God have your way in my heart ,the more you surrender to Him the more He manifest Himself in your heart and the more your willing to want to be controlled by Him,speaking in,tongues is 1 of the gifts of the Spirit,if God wants to manisfest Himself in that way thru you ..amen if not amen ..you are still born again because you have the desire to still want to please God .. When temptation comes do you here a voice saying dont do that? The Spirit of God is talking to your conscience so you dont yield to sin Hes not going to make you not sin, He wants you to choose not to yield to sin ,God will not take free will of the table what you choose He leaves it up to you..,,,the word of God says blessed is the man the endureth temptation..read 1 cort 12 starting at v 4..talks about diffrent gifts of the Spirit..the evidence of having the Holy Ghost is when you dont have the desire for sin in your life anymore...you desire a clean break from sin,with repentence in your heart this is the evidence of being born again.
Denver auston The Bible says all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproduction, correction and instruction in righteousness... The Bible says when we are born again we are able to see the kingdom of God (John 3:3) and able also to hear Gods words (John 8:47) and by reading Gods words and actually being able to perceive them, we understand our sinful state and then we desire to live right.. Amen to what you said concerning that because the scriptures agree.. I will tell you this though, speaking in another tongue and prophesying is the initial evidence when someone receives the Holy Ghost, that is what happened in the Old Testament when the spirit of God came upon the prophets and when the New Testament began, they spake in tongues as the spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4) the “gift of tongues” is also a gift that God gives severally to whom he will (in the church) but it is not that same manner of tongues as when someone receives the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Denver auston Amen thank you so much, I will continue to press on in my walk with the Lord and yes I have stopped living the was i used to, God took the desires away, lately I have been having dreams of Jesus return, one of which seemed more of a vision than a dream, it was as it was actually taking place hard to explain, my there is a fire in my heart Jesus is coming soon, last night I dream of what 2 Thessalonians 2 looks like I had to google parts of what I saw and this scripture came up!! In my dream people were deceived with magic and miracles then I saw the face of Harry Potter up on the sky formed of clouds (weird I know) I began to tell my kids and my husband to back off because that wasn’t of God and we walked away, next thing you know pieces of glass were stabbing people! They were so mesmerized with all this signs that they didn’t realize it was not of God. So sad so many people turning away and hardening their heart to Jesus.
Good video bro I am seeking and I know that I will find. Much love🙏
Thanks Bro, this has really motivated me. I also thought hands must be laid on for someone to receive. I live in Germany and here people don’t really believe in the baptism of the holyspirit and speaking in tongues.
Praise The Lord Jesus, yea, let God be true, but every man a liar 🙌
@Loveline Schubert
You believe, so you will receive. God can fill you with hands laid on you or not. People have received the Holy Spirit at their bedsides. Just keep seeking God and He will give you the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t matter if those around you believe or not. His word does not lie.
Grace and Peace to you✝️🇨🇦
@@JerubbaalgodSlayer thanks very much Bro
@Steffen Schmidt ich wohne in Siegsdorf, vielleicht bist du meine Nachbarin bitte melde dich. Ich bin so hungrig für Jesus du auch.
I’ve allowed men’s doctrines to taint my view of receiving the Holy Spirit. It feels like I’ve made it complicated now. There’s a fear of receiving the kundalini spirit attached to this. I know for a fact that the Holy Spirit is real. He will fix me. I have to become like a child again though. I want the Holy Spirit! 🙌🏽
I’ve been seeking since I’m as a child, but I was fearful.
You have a peace surrounding you. I don’t just want to speak in tongues. I don’t want to show off. What I desire most is to have the character of Christ and to have the fruit of the spirit.
Also, I’m excited though. “To everyone that knocketh receiveth”. Amen.
Amen dear Sister , praise YAHAWASH'A HA'MASHIACH forever and forevermore !!!!
@Maliyah Miller
Don’t fear! You will not receive an unclean spirit. You will receive the Holy Spirit, because you hunger and thirst after it *(Matthew 5:6)* That’s the devil trying to fill your mind with junk. God wants to give you the Holy Spirit more than you want it. He died to have the privilege of filling you with Himself. You will receive the Holy Spirit. It’s yours too...

I had a lot of the same things happen to me .I got angry and then God spoke to me to step out from behind a pew and He would meet me.I did and He did!!!!Hallelujah,Hallelujah Hallelujah
Really? I’m at a place where I envy people who have the lord’s spirit. I’m having trouble with doubting and trusting God. I see all of this wickedness going on and I know that Jesus is coming back soon. I panic because I know I need his spirit, but it’s been about 12 years and I still didn’t get the spirit of the lord. I’m 19 now. 😕 I’m going to keep seeking though.
@Child You don’t have to envy. That is a distraction and energy wasted on the wrong thing. I understand what you are saying though. You hunger and thirst after righteousness and want to be filled *(Matthew 5:6)* well God wants to fill you too! Keep telling Him that you are hungry and thirsty for Him and He will fill you with His Spirit. He’s your God too!
Glory to the LORD. Thank you brother.
I want to give a testimony if I can. So I originally got baptized when I was 18 or 19 and I think that I maybe got the Holy Spirit not long after but I questioned it. Sometimes I would believe I did other times I didn't. The pastor at the church I was attending at the time said I did though. I remember what happened and a few words came out in tongues I believe but just a few. Like did I really or did I not. I never spoke in tongues again. I fell out of the Pentecostal church I went to also not long after all this. Probably within a few years after. I guess I pretty much backslid for quite a few years. Over the last couple years of my life I really started questioning my salvation. Was I ever really saved. Did I ever get the Holy Spirit. That God was just like this angry tyrant and that I should be scared of Him. Anxiety about being struck down by God at any second. I know now this was being used to draw me closer to Him though now. I had some health scares and the death of my grandmother really put me into a bad place too. And I think it's about this time it all started to come together. There was many other times in the past that I would ask God to let me speak in tongues but nothing would ever happen. I did get pretty down about this. I also did start believing the same about a changed life is the sign of the Holy Spirit that some people believe as well. I recently probably withing the last 3ish maybe 4 years really started praying more and started reading the Bible more. Not as much as I should but I did start. I asked God to let me speak in tongues again during this time but nothing happened. I came across this video one night and watched it. This was also a night I started going into a bad place mentally. I went into my closet (literally) and started praying and I asked God to send the gift of the Holy Spirit to me and I was opening my heart and mind. I really don't know how everything works and I believe that is the mystery of God but I told Him to come in please. I was determined to just pray and ask for this. I don't know how long it was but probably about less than an hour and the Holy Spirit did come on me and I spoke in tongues like for real no doubting tongues. Never a shred of doubt again. I guess I just really let go that night and He gave me the gift He promised. There were times while I was praying before the tongues happened that I felt like stopping praying or maybe starting to wind it up but something keep telling me keep going and I did and Jesus sent the Holy Spirit and I did speak in tongues. He keeps His promises. I thank God so much that He did this in me. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind anymore and I want to keep growing and maturing in Him.
Praise be the name of Jesus Christ I’m tarrying I believe in what’s written pray for me to recieve the Holy Ghost🙏🏾
Thank you for this video buddy. I have been seeking the baptism and I know that God has set me apart and appointed me to sing for His glory and I know that I am anointed but I can’t wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit because I know that this is only the beginning.

Soon I got and it was very foreign but it felt amazing, I was truly amazed by what had came upon me. What I mostly struggle with now is the fear of Him taking it away. But I can say, glory to God, that He hasn't. I absolutely enjoyed your testimony and I think your heart is beautiful. Please keep it up ☺️☺️
May God bless you brother for the testimony. I have been facing a similar challenge which had got me thinking that perhaps God has rejected me. It hasnt been easy
Robert, praise God for he has not rejected you. A promise is a promise from GOD, and remember He is not a man that He should lie. Keep seeking, I remember the times still today, but God is faithful and fulfilled His word in me, and will do the same with those that seek Him and obey. Rejoice in this!

As soon as I seen your face I knew you had the Holy Ghost. He Glows in Your face. Holy Ghost Glow 👍 it’s sad so many people try to trample this experience as not real.
I had the same story! And I received it at home one day in prayer hahaha!
Think about it. You had Gods Spirit the entire time living in you, but when you asked for confirmation and recited that scripture of God giving gifts to his children, THEN you were given the gift of tongues. Speaking in tongues is a gift from God, not evidence that you have the Holy Spirit. You had the Holy Spirit the entire time, but the gift of tongues was a gift given as confirmation! Stay blessed!
Hello Alberta! Thank you for watching & commenting, but of a truth according to the word of God, I did not have the Holy Spirit the entire time, until I was endued with power from on high, as the Spirit gave me utterance. (Acts 2:4) the Bible also speaks of spiritual gifts which work by that Spirit which is the Holy Ghost. (1cor 12) We see all throughout the Bible (O.T & N.T) when the Holy Ghost comes upon someone they spoke in another tongue & prophesied.
(Numbers 11:25-27, 1Sam 10:10, Luke 1:41-45 also Isaiah 28:11-12 and 1corinthians 14:21-22 which came to pass on the day of Pentecost) which also came upon the Samaritans in acts 8 and gentiles in acts 10 the same way it came upon the Jews in acts 2.
This is what happened to the people of God before, when the received the Spirit of our father, it’s the same thing that’ll happen today, when someone does.
I don’t have the gift of diversities of tongues but I do have the Spirit who gives to all the members of the body, dividing to every man severally as he will. Amen

If you believe the Word of God (KJV in English) The name Jesus Christ is the name above all names that are named, and there is none other name given among men whereby we must be saved than the name of Jesus.

Earnestly ! God Bless you brother let me tell you my testimony how I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit that happened about 10 years ago I wanted the baptism of the Holy Spirit so bad I went on a weeky day of fasting 1 day a week for about 1 year at the end of 1 year nothing happened then I started to loose hope but remember that it's in his time not ours then about 1 more month past then I had a dream and in my dream I was in a state fair and people was coming and going into the road of the state fair I remember the road had a wooden fence on both side of the road and it was packed and as I was in this road going into the fair I saw 2 people that were different from the people there and as they got closer to me I could tell from far a way that they were dressed in white and as I got closer to them I could tell in my spirit that they were Angels from God and I said WoW ! Angels from God ! and I got scared and the Angel on my left was short and heavy and the Angel on the right was tall and slim without wings and as they got about 4 feet from me the Angel on the left started to raise his hand and put it completly on my face but before he coverd my face he said to me " Don't be afraid look at what the Lord is going to do now " then he coverd my face and it felt like a bolt of 1,000,000 watt of electricity hit me and in the dream I started to speak in tongues but in my dream I could see that only half of my mouth was speaking in tongues and both of the sides of my mouth was stitched shut that was the dream that I had then 4 months pasted and I forgot the dream then I went to a church service that I was invited by my girfriend and she told me that a preacher from the Dominican Republic was going to preach and I said ok ! I will go then as he finished preaching the Holy Spirit started to minister and the Lord started to talk to many people in the service and I had my head bow down then the preacher pointed to me with his finger and said young man and I looked up to see whom the preacher was talking to and it was me and he said come here so I went to the front of the church and the preacher said to me lift up your hands and I lifted up both of my hands then he said repeat after me what I say and he said thank you Lord for what you are about to do and as I repeated the words he put his hand on my forehead and the preacher said receive the Holy Spirit man I tell you it felt like my body just exploded on the inside I was walking on clouds and my mouth started to speak in another language that I could not understand but it was my spirit talking to God and after that I said to myself wow the Lord baptized me with the Holy Spirit
What a wonderful, beautiful, Testimony 🙏 Glory to God. Thanks for sharing, I was truly blessed by it. I smile 😁 most of the whole time.
That a blessing keep on seeking him and trusting in the lord be blessed 🙏🏾💖😇
What a testimony I know one thing sometimes it's hard to get in contact with Jesus not everyone is gonna catch the holy ghost right away sometime's that person haft to go through some things in order to get the holy ghost but the more you pray the more something will happen and some people may get the holy ghost in another way call you haft to do this or that and you'll get it but there is a holy ghost in prayer waiting to happen i do believe that
I Believe In The Pentecost Truth.
For me it's been 9 months. :(
Still hoping and praying. I've gotten discouraged so many times. I feel sad and empty and lonely every single day and I know God is the only one that can fix it.
I just feel so sad.
Have you obeyed the gospel? If you have then patiently wait for the promise of the father, trust Him.. I received a call from a brother yesterday who called and said he received the Holy Ghost!
After he had been waiting for a longer period of time than yourself..
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
@@earnestlycontending885 I don't think I have. I've been living in sin. I want to repent but I'm too afraid. I want to so bad. I feel so far from God. My Sin is blocking me from him. I want to feel close to God, in rightstanding, I want the peace that surpasses understanding.
@@MissionLog the commandment unto life is to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
If you have been living in sin, to repent is to turn from it and do that which is right and pleasing in the eyes of God. (according to his word)

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”

Do you believe it’s a prerequisite to enter heaven? Just checking your theology on that? (I did a search on this today because I asked for it last night and didn’t receive it.

@@earnestlycontending885 what He means by ‘the spirit’ could mean the Holy Spirit- the Holy Spirit is what has guided me up until this point for over a year now, teaching me, convicting me, filling me! The gift of speaking in tongues as a personal prayer language, I’m taught, is a gift that we should earnestly seek- but not a prerequisite to be an actual child of God.. There are so many verses that we could take literally that need to be fully studied in context, etc.
@@ebuchanan1 you’re speaking about a couple different things here.
In acts 2 they received the Spirit and prophesied, as well in acts 10 and chapter 19 as well, this is what we see happened when men were filled with the Holy Ghost
“Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.”

@@ebuchanan1 1corinthians 12 is concerning spiritual gifts
@@earnestlycontending885 so when he says “of water and the spirit”, I imagine he means 1) baptism and 2) how the Holy Spirit inhabits ours - I believe that upon the confession of our sin and acceptance of forgiveness, we then inhabit the Holy Spirit. I believe the e second we receive Jesus as lord and savior, boom- we have the Holy Spirit. I thought that’s why it says ‘as evidenced by tongues’ - meaning that tongues is one of the manifestations of the spirit. It does also command us to earnestly desire the gifts. I have, for years, wanted it and I keep striving for it and getting so depressed when I don’t receive that it makes me start doubting everything. I don’t think that me what the father wants for me- so to add that I’m going to hell if I don’t speak in tongues enhances that mental torment. We are saved by grace- it’s one thing to truly desire and seek out speaking in tongues but it can become and idol in and of itself- but HE alone is the idol.
Pray for me guys I really want to recieve the Holy Spirit.
Amen bro. Thanks JESUS and the FATHER
Amen brother yes thank you jesus
Thank you ! Great video !!!
May God Almighty richly bless
Some people even don't know God and receive but some pray and cry out but nothing happen.I don't understand
Amen I definitely know how you feel. I went through that and would think all the time, how could someone who has no desire to serve God receive it and here I am trying and trying over and over again. The Bible teaches we receive the Holy Ghost by faith (in Galatians 3) and if someone goes to God in faith God will fill them. Some things we don’t understand in our carnal mind, but Gods word is true...
“Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.”
“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”
Because it's in God's timing, not ours. We don't just demand to receive it on commando and receive it. That's not how it works. God will do it, in His perfect timing. And we just persevere in seeking Him, in remaining faithful. Don't get discouraged. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing your testimony of how you received the Holy Ghost. Everyone needs to know who believes in our Heavenly Father. I am sure the Holy Ghost led you to make this video. Blessings !!!
