Dr. Kathy Griffioen (Holy Spirit Testimony) 

Wow❤ a question is it the same now too?

Amen ! Thank you for sharing. We pray that Jesus surpasses all expectation you have and just ask that The Holy Spirit come over you and baptize you in Jesus mighty name! We pray against discouragement and ask for faith to arise!

Amen 🙏🏾❤️

Has he done this to you?

Amen😊

This looks a exactly what I want and have been praying for. Why do I feel so left out? I cry my eyes out to have this and I beg the Lord to do this in my life. All I want is to be filled with His Spirit. Please pray for me

Me too

You can receive the Holy Spirit too, just ask the Lord! Luke 11:13 (NKJV) 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” This is a gift for everyone. Following God’s word is the most humble thing you can do, if you haven’t already repent and been baptized in Jesus name that would be the first thing I would do. Acts 2:38-39 (NKJV) Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

I believe our sister would reply that she's a very ordinary person indwelt by an extraordinary God!

We’re working on it!!

@@delafetestimonies almost all that you said I experienced when I submitted my life to Jesus Christ but I cannot pin point a baptism of the Holy Spirit taking place in my life. I yearn for that because the foretaste lasted just about three months and I have been very grieved for the last 29 years I feel so lost and dead on the inside trying hard to please him from his word and doing what I think he wants be to do never really sure it is until I see the result. How were you baptize what did you do or say?

​@@deianncunningham9935 God's desire is that we would all be empowered by his Holy Spirit filling us! Luke 11:9-13 says: So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.11What father among you, if his son asks for a fish,d will give him a snake instead? 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” God will not withhold the Holy Spirit from those who desire Him! However, there can be some blocks that get in the way. For some (like me) there is an intellectual block, where they don't actually believe God will do it. For others, they want the Holy Spirit but are not willing to surrender to Him. Some people are harboring unforgiveness and bitterness towards those who have hurt them and are not willing to surrender it to the Lord. Surrender is key! When I was baptized in the Spirit, I was fully surrendered! I wanted the Holy Spirit at any cost. I asked God to baptize me in the Holy Spirit. I also had a friend who was baptized in the spirit who laid hands on me and prayed for me to be baptized in the spirit. This is sometimes necessary - it was for me. Trust that God will not withhold His Spirit from you! He will empower you to live for Him!

@@kathleengriffioen4420 thank you so much for taking the time to respond I will continue to seek God for this blessing.

@@deianncunningham9935 I was filled with the Holy Spirit while I was an atheist in the middle of a suicide attempt. His presence stayed with me for about 3 months. I didn't ask for it and I wasn't looking for it. It has been 27 years ago. I want it back. The only thing that I know to do is live a clean life and do the next right thing. I don't think there's anything that we can do to be born again, I believe that's up to God. I know that I don't deserve it because he told me that while I was filled with his presence. I never understood why he told me that until lately. I'm a wretched sinner, and he is more Holy and precious than I could possibly imagine. Live with a clean conscious by doing your best not to sin. Live a clean life and get rid of that "thing" that's keeping you separated from him. For me it has been drinking, drugs, and a lot of women. I've been with only one women in six years, been married for 2 years, haven't had a drop of alcohol for over 5 years, and am just now getting off opiates. Those were my "things" and they're just about gone. Get rid of yours whatever they are and he might come back.

This has TRULY been a blessing to me. Thank you soooo much for sharing! God bless!❤❤❤❤🙏

Ask Him🙏

When i recieved the Holy Spirit i was in a prayer room with two other beloevers who had recieved praying for me. I was praying fervently for the Lord to fill me with His presence( Holy Spirit). The pastor came back there and said," Brother Bob, stand up lift your hands and recieve the Holy Spirit. I stood up, with my eyes still closed, and saw a window appear to my upper right side. It had what looked like those old fashioned shutters on the outside ends and they were wide open. I looked in the window and saw a beautiful blue sky. Then a bright light appeared at right hand inside corner of the picture and started to move across my field of vision until it reached the center. Then it stopped and shined on me. Suddenly i felt a warmth starting at my ankles and moving up my body. I felt like my body was being filled with a warm liquid. As the filling approached the top of my head and i was thanking the Lord for answering my prayer i heard the pastor telling me to surrender my tongue to the Holy Spirit. I stopped thanking the Lord, opened my mouth and relaxed my tongue as a way if surrendering it to the Lord. Suddenly i felt the Spirit seize control if it and i began speaking in tongues. The joy i felt was staggering.. Never had i felt such joy in my life.i had recieved the Holy Spirit.

Have you been immersed in water (baptized)? Water baptism is a deliverance from sin, an emptying of ourselves, but holy spirit baptism is about filling up and empowering. Then keep seeking. Trust God's love and that he wants this for you. Stay in faith, don't let your not being filled be louder in your mind. When we trust experiences and feelings more than his word it can become a barrier. We walk by faith (trusting God), not by sight (what we can sense at all really). Ask God to reveal to you if there is anything preventing his filling you and be willing to deal with it whatever it is. Will pray for you!

Hi Kathy, can we please talk sometime? I am so desperate for the Holy Spirit and I just don’t know what is missing. Thank you, and thank you for sharing your testimony! Amanda
