Baptism of the Holy Spirit

My good friend text me the other day and told me that she was looking thru the palm diary and realised that I received baptism of the Holy Spirit on 1st Sept four years ago.

I did not even keep track and I am glad that she did.

I remember the day that I was baptized with the holy spirit or in other word receive the gift of speaking in tongues. I was in a cell meeting and my leaders would be praying for the baptism of the holy spirits for those who want to be baptised.

If you ask me whether I was skeptical, I would tell you yes. I was also concerned that God may not give me this gift or fdiscover I was not worthy enough. But I believed and I prayed along as my cell members prayed over me.

It was quite amazing that suddenly, beyond my control I felt that there were just words coming out from my mouth. It was so surprising to me that in a quick instant, I kinda stopped and did not let it flow. But I knew then that God has worked and I have received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit ever since.

What about you? How was your experience?
