The Holy Spirit in my life


Hi everyone, in my life the Holy Spirit has made themselves very apparent to me. I will share with you some experiences that I have had. Once I have felt like I couldn't walk in my senses and then I felt a presence and pressure on my own feet which felt like an alloy weight which was a spiritual experiencee which then powered me on in my walking briefly and then I then I took over my walking. The Holy Spirit took control of the situation. What could this mean, I think it critically it means that they are there for me and that I can depend on them. 

After I experienced this I looked it up if others had experienced this and found that some people have noted this as well. Feeling the "weight" or "heaviness" of the Holy Spirit is a recognised spiritual experience, often described as a physical sensation of God’s presence, pressure, or a profound emotional burden. The Holy Spirit can do many diverse things.

From John Wesley's book -“Many cried out in complete joy. Others were knocked to the ground. As soon as we recovered a little from that awe and amazement at God’s presence, we broke out in praise. “We praise you. O God we acknowledge you to the Lord.” –From the Holy Spirit power by John Wesley.

I have also experienced a wind encasing and encircling around me in a bright sunny day. as somebody was trying to harm my life.  I knew it was God’s Holy spirit-which has been a strong arm anchor and pillar for me in my life. Praise be to God.
The Holy Spirit is the breath, wind, spirit of God and I felt this at church too.

When I have prayed, I have felt the spirit near me and also my arm has became warmer which blessed Holy water and the water was blessed by God. I also said once during prayer that I am carrying a heavy weight on my hands and I went up to lift up my hands to demonstrate it and I could not lift them up as they stopped me. It is Christ who is carrying this weight and the Holy Spirit and always trust in them. 
 
I. I have also had other experiences with the Holy Spirit at church which I have written about in this blog. 
 
It is God’s 3rd attribute and which is the Paraclete that Jesus said he would send us as a comforter on earth (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit has many roles and to learn more on this please see my post on baptism on this blog.

When I see a river/stream I sometimes i need to stay as close as possible and then at the end I will find my reward-which is usually a waterfall I am trying to locate. The faith is a bit like that-if you hug it tight and follow that light at the end you will find Christ. Hug that river all the way to the end. Also, Jesus will if you find him give you everlasting water, which is the Holy Spirit when you that lives in you when you find him (John 4:14).
