      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.

      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..

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

    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

    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 💜🕊

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    • @earnestlycontending885

      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

      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.

      @earnestlycontending885  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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.

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.

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

      ”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?“

      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.

    I speak in tongues and also have the gift of interpretation, however you do not have to speak in tongues to receive the Holy Spirit!! The Lord Almighty told me this. You know you have the Holy Spirit by your fruit. God give different gifts to different people, you may not speak in tongues but have another fruit of the spirit. Also the gift of tongues is not something you learn, it is a gift to whom the Almighty God choose to give it to. You know you have the Holy Spirit by the fruit you bear. Please look up fruits of the Holy Spirit. Love to see young people seeking God and his Holy Spirit, PRAISE GOD!!

      “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.
