Receving the Holy Spirit

It was the weekend before Easter 2005. I had been reading my bible and I read of how Jesus, after being lifted to heaven, sent the Holy Spirit to his disciples and they all began to speak in a different tounge. I remember being intrigued by this and that very night I prayed to God, that if it was his will, that he would bless me with this gift. This was on a Friday. The following day I was participating in a Men’s Retreat and I was asked if I could give a talk regarding God’s Love to which I did. After the talks were done we then proceeded to walk towards the church for a service. As I approached the church entrance there was another entrance to the Sanctuary. I opened the door and as soon as I walked in I was in front of the Terbanacle were the Eucharist is Stored. All of a sudden I felt a strong presence that radiated all through my body and I immediately fell to the floor with my arms stretched as if I was on a cross. Then immediately after that I began to pray in tounge and what I was praying was “God I give my life to you.” There were many people there who witnessed this. That day I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and I gave my life to Jesus. Amen
