I   got   born   again   July   7,   2004.   A   few   months later   I   received   the Baptism   Of   The   Holy   Spirit. I   was   like   those   in   Acts   19   who   when   asked said   they   didn't   even   know if   there   be   a   Holy Spirit.   Then   I   read   " Good   Morning   Holy   Spirit" by   Benny   Hinn and   I   was   hungry   for   more   of the presence   of   God.   I   got   hands   laid   on   me and   I   went   down   under   the   power   and   two days later   I   am   in   my   computer   room   and   the computer    is    messing    up.    I    know what    the Word   says   that   He   lives   in   the   praises   of   His people.   I   had   a choice   grouse   and   grumble   or praise.   I   chose   to   bring   a   sacrifice   of    praise.   I started   thanking   the   LORD   and   within   a   few moments   I   hear this   strange   language   coming out   of   my   mouth.   I   am   stunned   and   try   to find a   tape   recorder   because   I   was   raised   Lutheran and   I   don't   know   if anyone   will   believe   this. For    an    hour    different    tongues    came    out    as I stood   there   tears   streaming   down   my   face, not   moving,   afraid   that    it would   stop.   Truly,   as it    says    in    John    that    out    of    my    belly    came living water.   When   I   finally   went   to   bed   I   had   a sleepless   night   because   I couldn't   wait   to   get up     in     the     morning     and     see     if      this     was still there.     Once     again     as     I     praised     my heavenly language flowed. I   began   in earnest   praying   in   tongues   like   a   job 3   or   four   hours   in   the   morning   a lunch   break and   then   3   or   4   more   hours.   I   prayed   with   my sister who    has   done   all   the   artwork   on   this site.     When    I    couldn't    stay here    and    pray    I would   pray   in   tongues   driving,   or   gardening or shopping   or   cleaning.   I   mean   I   prayed   all the    time.    The    word    says    I    am praying    the perfect   will   of   God   when   I   am   praying   by   the spirit,    and    although    it    was    a    struggle    to keep my     mind     quiet     I     persevered.     For     6 months   it   was   all   prayer   language, tongues   of angels as Paul calls it in the Bible.  The   first   English words   came   when   my   father was    dying    and    I    was    told    by    the    doctor    if I didn't    come    to    Colorado    I    probably    would never    see    him    alive    again.    He    was unsaved and   I   knew   he   would   go   to   hell   and   I   was   on my   knees   weeping before   the   LORD   and   I   hear "no   go".   I   am   startled   because   that's   English.   I told the   LORD   ok   he's   going   in   surgery   so   I want    to    be    in    your    house tonight.    It    was Tuesday   night   at   6:15.   Most   don't    have   church on   Tuesday night   but   I   didn't   know   that   then. Praying   in   tongues   I   got   on   the computer   and the    second    number    I    called    was    a    church called    The Presence    Of    The    LORD    in    Home Gardens.   When   I   asked   if   they   had   church? Yes they    did    at    7:00pm.     Did    they    believe    in healing?   Yes.    Did   they   speak   in tongues?   Yes to    that    too.    My    sister    Frances    Louise    and    I were    talking to    the    LORD    on    the    way    and saying    we    know    our    father    has    no    faith but LORD   you   raised    Lazarus    from   the   dead and   we   believe   you   can   use   our faith   and   just like   Lazarus   this   will   not   be   unto   the   death   for our dad   either.   Only   a   few   people   are   there   at Presence   of   the   Lord   and   after   worship   the minister stands    up    and    says    he    has    a    word from   the   LORD.   This   was   new   and   foreign   to me. I   didn't   know   you   could   have   a   word   from the   LORD   and   he    preceded   to say   "Just   like Lazarus    this    is    not    unto    death."    The    very words   that   we   had said   to   the    LORD;   it   was   as if   he   was   in   the   car   with   us   when   we   were talking!   Our   father survived   and   he   got   saved. After   that   I   was   determined   to   hear   from   the LORD   like   that   for   myself.   So   I   shut   off   the   t.v.,  threw   out   all   secular   books   and   music   I   had and immersed     myself      in     the     Word     and praying   in   tongues.   I   had   a   constant    dialogue with the Holy Spirit (and still do). I   was   just   seeking   the   LORD   for   myself   and what     started     happening     was He     gave     me words   for   others.   My   first   one   at   my   baptism in    Israel    in 2006.    More    and    more    I'd    have words    for    total    strangers    in    restaurants and supermarkets   and   on   the   phone.   Speaking   to the   LORD   turned   into singing   to   the   LORD.   He gave    me    songs.    I    would    sing    them    out    but I was    a   mediocre   piano   player   at   best   and   I'd have   to   go   to   the   piano   and   hunt   and   peck   to find   the   notes.   Then   the   LORD   took   it   all   away and   started   with   one   finger   teaching   me   to play   by   the   Spirit.   It   was   not   about   the   music   it was    about    being    obedient    and    the    more    I emptied   myself      the   more   sensitive   I   became to   his   Spirit.   Today   I   sit   at   the   piano   and   I   wait on   the   Holy   Spirit.   I   don't   know   what   notes   I'll play   or   what   words   I'll   sing.   The   LORD   told   me it's   not   that   I'm   that   talented   there   are   many more   talented   but   I   am   obedient   and   I   was and   am.   I   seek   the   LORD   in   all   things.   I   am   not playing   church.   I   am   seeking   the   face   of   the living   God   and   every   thing   else   is   a   secondary consideration,    a    distraction    and    a    waste    of time. To Him be all Glory!
