My hidden desire,
I grow up in a church presence, most of my life, like, if not all of it. Im in a church that is big on Holy living and pursuing holiness in everything you do. Constant repentance, and family oriented, like church members literally become your second family coz it's personal like that.
So, when I saw people worshipping out of control that always got to me like, why are they crying? Is being filled by the Holy Spirit sad coz these people cry, clap and ironically sing your praises Lord. This happened around me so much that I began, crying too but only coz I imagined the worst things just so I could fit in. 😅
One faithful day, I was playing with other teens at the time in a church conference and this pastor wanted to pray so I shut my eyes, I don't remember if I also prayed, I just respected prayer. I remember it was like my mind was stretched beyond it's maximum capacity that I felt the indescribable Holyness of the presence of the Holy Spirit.
It was so magistic, I too found myself crying, mucus coming from my noise, I was in a zone I can't explain, I remember one the kids giving me a tissue and I knew immediately why they cry.
I gave my life to Christ and got Baptised 5 months later. The second, third, forth, 5th encounters blew my minds every time. My knees got weak and I knelt on the floor or set on the chair. It's a feeling beyond your birthday excitement or anything I can put in words.
My deepest desire, in my prayer corner is for the Youth or anyone who has never felt how it is to loose your sanity in the presence of the Holy Spirit to have their first encounter. It takes salvation, your faith, and your relationship with Christ to a whole new level.
Salvation becomes personal and not a religious commitment. It's joyous, it's next level, it's Amazing. It's my therapy, my savior and Sanity....
