The way that the Holy Spirit works is amazing. Jack can never figure out what will happen next. As he wanted to know more about God the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ), one evening he was given a breakthrough experience.
That evening he was in the worship service and found that neither the pastor nor the senior worship leader was around. An alternate preacher preached a short sermon ending by urging those who have been in the church for quite sometime to come out and serve God instead of sitting there.
Jack repented and told the Holy Spirit quietly that he was willing to be obedient. The Holy Spirit responded immediately.
After the service the alternate preacher called three persons to go out and minister to those who needed healing or deliverance or just wanted to be blessed by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Jack was one of the three called!
So he went to the front by faith. He told the Holy Spirit he had never done this before and he did not know how to pray for those people in front of him and the Holy Spirit would just have to take over. He then encountered four different scenarios:
1. When he prayed, the person in front of him fell down without him touching.
2. When he prayed, the person in front of him fell down by his gentle placing a thumb on that person’s forehead.
3. In one incident, he asked the person what language the person understood, and the person merely fell down without answering or waiting for him to pray!
4. In one incident, the person fell down without him finishing his prayer.
So Jack came home knowing that the Holy Spirit had given him another wonderful lesson by showing that there was no way anyone could predict or limit the Holy Spirit to any pattern. The Holy Spirit is the key to touching the lives and/or healing all those believers who came to the front of the church by faith and what happened had nothing to do with Jack.
Jack concludes that the works of the Holy Spirit are indeed real and all He needs is a willing and obedient heart to demonstrate His power. He is thankful for being a witness to the power of the Holy Spirit.
He now understands more when he reads about the wonderful and powerful events concerning the Holy Spirit in the Bible.
