At my confirmation, where you get the Holy Spirit, I came down the stairs at my party and had torn, like, 80 holes in my pantyhose and said I had the Holy Spirit, and just would do things like that all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had to go. A spirit in my feet said 'Go', and I went.
Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
The words of confirmation into the Church are an invitation: 'Receive the Holy Ghost.' And that choice must be made not once, but every day, every hour, every minute.
I am living and having supernatural experiences. A lot of people get really freaked out about that. I speak in tongues; I've been baptized in the Holy Spirit.
The presence of the Holy Spirit is the keystone of all our hopes.
I know it's an experience that I need to have if God's putting me through it.
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening; I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
I must ask the Lord to direct the Holy Spirit within me to drain the life out of sin and in prayer.
The Holy Spirit is our comforter, our teacher. That's why, in prayer, we can ask the Lord to open up Scripture and make it come alive to us, to open our understanding. He left his Spirit with us until we join him in Heaven.
If ever you are to be visited by the Holy Ghost, you should make certain you're sitting beside a fireman.
