Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Many years ago I was a drug addict and went to a 30 day rehab to get clean. After about two weeks I was very committed and started to pray. I went into my room and closed the door, got on my knees, leaned over my bed and prayed several prayers. I prayed for the Lord to forgive me and to take away my sins. Then asked for him to save me and come into my heart and into my life and guide me. I said the third step prayer then the Lords prayer then several others and even a few of my own making. I was not taking any chances and gave it my all.

When I was completely worn out I rose up and laid down on my bed face down with my elbow's out and my hands just above my head. After about a minute I felt someone kneel into my knees so I quickly turned and looked and there was no one their. I calmed down a little and turned back around and put my head back down , then I could feel this feeling of someone laying down not just on me but into me and at the same time a strange calm came over me. Next Felt the placement of their elbow's and arms and hand then the feeling of each finger into each of my fingers.

This was the calmest , the scariest and the most loving feeling all at the same time. The next day I went and saw the pastor of the program that I had never met before that day and he told me in two days on Sunday to come to church that that was the subject that week. So I did and he spoke of the Babtism of the Holy Spirit. I had an idea of course that something on this line had occurred and Felt like I was not touching the ground when I walked for about a week.

Unfortunately I did find my way back to drugs and for 20 years was lost again but God was with me and as soon as I asked for his help and meant it I was able to turn my life around .I have been clean now for five years and my life could not be better. God has taken away the cravings and provided me with more than a person could ever hope for. All thanks to God.
