    I respond to the Holy Spirit by crying-a lot. Mostly tears of repentance, mixed with joy

    That was Marty Blackwelder drunk in The Spirit at Rhema Bible Church and his wife Lola was sitting right behind him laughing and doubled over . We were all good friends at Rhema Bible College together. The class of 1991 . Lola was a bridesmaid at my wedding and Marty played the piano. Most wonderful years in our lives . BTW , if you knew Marty , you know that had to be Holy Spirit . Go back and watch the entire clip. I laugh So Hard . Holy Spirit is So Funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Norman Benz is my distant cousin and I got to meet him and Judy in 2018. They were hosting a conference at their church and Mike and Carol Arnot and Larry Sparks was there. Norman and Judy are amazing and I’m glad to know that my family is hungry for a move of the Spirit.

    Love the ministry of the Holy Spirit. ❤ question: why is it only the person with the microphone, or “A leader” that lays hands on the people experiences the power from the Holy Spirit? Wouldn’t there be many elders in the ministry that move in these gifts that also can pray for others? Why is it mostly only ONE person?

      They are often preaching other sermons in the same building or they did earlier that day. Also understand the pastor is not doing it but Jesus and the Holy Spirit has chosen to do it that way in that Church. It is about the heart and how much we can yield to the Holy Spirit. These men did not try to do this either. It just happened one day as it did to me all alone at home while praying my heart out. When I walk into a store and I am feeling filled people all over start laughing out loud with joy and they are strangers. I see people smile ear to ear and I know they are having thier hearts made ready then I share about Jesus and they get saves. Some even get healed! I never saw a service like these until a year after it happened to me.

      Great question! Love what @paulmerritt2484 said. Sometimes there are other leaders that take that job on as well in a service, however it is also beneficial to have the whole room standing together for each case and worshipping God together :)
      The key is to be led 🔥

      Perhaps much work should be done like Jesus? He worked on the streets. How many ask holy Spirit to lead them outside four walls of church to lay hands on people?
      The reason we see great church denominations like Wesley and Luther created without fire 🔥 is because fire requires oxygen. Fire needs to get out of four walls for air to keep burning.

    When God comes is more than often awful for established churches which have "God in their pocket" (D. Bonhoeffer). It was very awful for the catholic church when M. Luther discovered the 'Righteousness of God' .. .

    I have sensed the presence of God so strong my body can’t even contain it. My body starts to shake and I have to do everything in my human strength to control it. I love watching Kenneth I’ve watched them at night I can’t stop laughing I had to stop watching them at night so I don’t wake up my husband. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne it happens in his services.

    I'm here to learn and be open minded, with scripture as my guardrails. What could be the purpose of laughing, falling and rolling over the floor? I'm not cynical, just curious. Also, fraudsters like benny hinn have made me much more careful.
    Any help or encouragement would be appreciated. I believe that the gifts are for today, you dont need to explain that to me.

    I' got into the Pentecostal Movement in 1986 and since then I'm part of the UPCI but I' have never spoken in tongues or even had the wild emotional experience of shaking, dancing or jumping but I know one of the UPCI fundamental doctrines is just that, I'm not judging it is not for me to judge God is the only judge, I wish that that experience should come my way but I fully and truely believe that the Spirit of God is in us and with us, this is in a precise Biblical promise that God does not dwell in tabernacles built with the hands of men and that the Tabernacle of God is with man and that the dwelling place of God is our bodies, keep it Holy the Bible teaches, stay blessed in Jesus name the name above every other name whereby we must be saved ✝️🕎✡️🙏❤️

    • @preacherbarbie
      @preacherbarbie 24 дня назад +2

      Actually our bodies are temples of The Holy Spirit according to 1 Corinthians 6:19, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?"
      When we are saved we are sealed by The Holy Spirit for the Day of Redemption, "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption" ( Ephesians 4:30) however being Filled with The Holy Spirit, also known as The Baptism of The Holy Spirit, is not the same thing ( with the evidence of speaking in Tongues). There are 2 parts to Baptism ( water and Spirit, even Jesus was Baptized by both) according to Scripture but most don't know or understand the Baptism of The Holy Spirit. Study The Book of Acts and ask God for it, it's a Gift and your life will never be the same. Blessings🙏

    If you do not find such manifestations in the Bible you can with a clear conscience reject them. Did Jesus act out of control. Did the apostles fall, squirm and squeal like animals while preaching the gospel. Rather, they strive to stand tall and behave honorably to the value of the gospel.

      I'm not sure why you are comparing the move of the Holy Spirit to those strange things, but I'll answer from a stance of love. Always ask yourself who or what is getting the glory and that will be the first step towards discernment.
