I was about 16, and I had just been baptized in the Holy Spirit.
I had been battling with severe depression, and I had no hope or vision for my life. Then I encountered the power of God like I never had before.
I was with a group of prayer warriors who were praying for our nation, and I felt God's presence all around me. It was real! There was something behind their words when they prayed, that made it more than just words. They were believing in faith that what they were praying for would actually happen.
For the first time, I knew without a doubt that God was really in the room, and that He was actually listening to every prayer.
So I asked later about what was happening, and I was told about the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit baptism. I was baptized that night and received my prayer language immediately.
Since then I began to have visions of my future, and a clearer understanding of what God's purpose was for my life. I felt free, with a kind of strength that was not my own, but that of Christ within me, like he had given me wings.
"but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." ~Isaiah 40:31~
