When were you
touched by the Holy Spirit? How did you feel? What change did it
make in your life?
I was attending the Alpha course for the first
time. It was during the retreat weekend that an amazing
process took place in my life. From the beginning of the course, I
wanted desperately to be touched by the Holy Spirit. During
one session in particular, something awesome happened to me.
I was watching the Nicky Gumble video intently
and I started to feel very emotional. My stomach was stirring,
and in no time I was crying (but trying not to let the others see
me). Then I said to myself..."what does it matter, this is what God
has planned for me." I had never felt like this before.
After more crying the video ended and Brenda
Milner said we should take a break, go for a walk, talk to one
another, etc.
I knew that I had
been touched by the Holy Spirit and I had finally come to accept
Jesus into my life as my Savior.
It is quite difficult to put
into words how I felt when this happened to me. I told Brenda (who
was hosting the Alpha session) my story when I went outside and she
called Cindy Craig over to tell her what I had just said. They
agreed it was a confirmation of being touched by the Holy Spirit.
Since that day I have come to know Jesus and how he is changing
my life for the better. I never knew how much glory you can bring to
the Lord through prayer, praise and worship. He is truly an awesome
God!
