Shackled by a heavy burden
'neath a load of guilt and shame
THEN the hand of Jesus touched me
and now I am no longer the same.
HE TOUCHED ME
OH, HE TOUCHED ME
AND OH THE JOY THAT FLOODS MY SOUL
SOMETHING HAPPENED
AND NOW I KNOW
HE TOUCHED ME
AND MADE ME WHOLE.
Have you been filled with the Holy Ghost since you have believed? The early apostles asked a christian: Acts 19:2 (King James Version)
"He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost."
Do you remember the first time you recieved the Holy Ghost? I was 18 years old at a Shirley Ceasar concert in my hometown 1986. I was saved and baptized June 10, 1978 in my family church but I had never recieved the desire to behave as I saw others "buck dance" all over the church. How could they dance like that? I only wanted to know how to dance that way in church. You could obviously tell those who were parading around to show off their new clothes. But there were some people who had a level of joy that I could not understand. I prayed for eight years from the age of 12 to 18 for God to give me the Holy Ghost with fire. One night at the Shirley Ceasar concert the drummer gave the alter prayer. I begged and pleaded for God to give me the Holy Ghost. I held my hands up and closed my eyes and prayed aloud for God to give me the Holy Ghost. The tears began to flow and I felt my heart melt away. Someone came down and laid hands on my forehead and I remember a hot flash ran down my face to my feet and I fell on the floor. I tried to talk but all I could hear was a clear language that I did know coming out of my mouth. I could not stop speaking the words for about an hour. PRAISE THE LORD, I HAVE RECIEVED THE HOLY GHOST SINCE I BELIEVED!!!!
