Acts 2:4
30th sep 2005. must rmb this day. now trying to finish this now so tt i can do this when my memory is still vivid and so i have a record of what happened. after all, this is will only happen once in my lifetime. when the prescence of the Spirit is so strong.
yupz. today was an uneventful day. then went cell after sch. in the seminar rm. yupz. so we started off wif singspiration and prayer. yups. then the Spirit was present in teh room. we could feel it. yup. ppl starting to cry. first shawn, then max. i also felt very touched lor. was praying very hard, just praying for forgiveness, prayed for my frens, my family, thanked God for everything tt he had done in my life. was so touched tt i almost started crying, whihc was a very big step for me as i'm very unemotional. yupz. bq ppl shld noe. i didnt shed a single tear at both bqs. dunno y today so touched lah. just thanked God for forgiving me countless of times, even though i keep on repeating my sins again and agian. realised there tt God's love is truly unconditional and infinite. i hv been sinning for 15 yrs of my life and not once has God forsaken me, but instead has given me more and more strength, and more blessing.
then max started being very emotional, so i joined joash to pray for him. was just praying and praying. prayed for blessings upon him, prayed for him to be able to get on well wif his family regarding what he has chosen, prayed for God to guide him. so after praying for so long, i suddenly felt like praying for myself again. so i continued praying, this time feeling the goosebumps and all tt. yup. then terrence's cell grp leader laid her hands on me and started praying for me.
so i dun rmb when, but after some time i started shaking and trembling, very lightly at the start. continued until some point in tiem when she said,"i can sense tt God is trying to fill u up. continue praying and ask for Him to come". sth liddat. so i prayed, my tremblings getting stronger. then joash and shawn (i think) laid their hands on me and started praying.
thank God they were there to help me and guide me as i went thru this. else i will feel very confused, dunno what to do and just may break out of it. so gradually i felt my whole body becoming very numb with all the shaking, esp in my knees and hands. then sort of i felt my body being controlled. yupz. then i recieved prompting, "He is trying to give u a tongue. dun be afraid. just say what He prompts u to do." so i prayed and i prayed, thanking God over and over again. then, my jaw became very numb and i felt it slowly opening. it was like, i could feel my body but wasnt in control of my body. my mouth opened and i was making some noise. some kind of roaring. think i was even screeching at times. then i sort of recieved the syllable 'ahhh..' then i just kept on making the sound and very gradually i got another syllable.
Thank God.
yup. so after all that, after recieving my first word in tongue, i continued in the Spirit for quite a long time, just praising the Lord. my body was still shaking and i didnt hv control of my body yet. then it slowly went away, and i felt the shaking stop. but my fingers were still held in tt position by a very strong force, like a magnet. when i regained control of my hands, opened my eyes. then i was like:
"OUCH!"
imagine ur head bowed, ur whole body in some kind of guai lan position for goodness noes how long, almost not moving, just shaking like mad. u already knew tt ur body was aching, esp ur neck, but sort of like didnt feel it earlier. then u wake up.
staggered to a chair, sat down, and streched my neck. after i rested enuf, we discussed on what happened today. learned abt what i shld do when i pray and how to further my improve my tongue. yup.
really, today was the time when i really felt the Spirit super strong. only so few ppl in the Seminar Room, and yet such a stong prescence. now i noe tt God really exists and is in control of everything. i could just feel it when He took control of my body. very strong and powerful feeling..
feel very relieved now. like all my sins r completely forgiven, all of my troubles gone. but i still cant recall what my first word was!!!!! only received one word and i forgot it. argh... must try to get it. pray. yup.
