I've only been able to speak in tongues during a church worship service.
I wish I could pray in tongues.

All that I trust is God's word & my own experiences with the Lord.
I came to a Pentecostal understanding of the Spirit of God in the church my future husband was raised in, Church of God out of Tennessee.
I had been to many Baptist churches when I was younger for we were so poor we became the mission work of some ladies. ( thank you Lord)
It was always serene,organized & calm. I was 18 when I was first introduced to something very different than what I had seen before.
I was unsaved @ the time. These ppl had such deep joy & love for God. It was active right before my eyes. Hugs, hearty handshakes a real outward projection of something I had NEVER seen.
An hunger began to stir " like a fire shut up in my bones". I was like whatever they have from God I want....I can understand Simon the sorcerer's fascination.
God's Holy Ghost was convicting me so hard and offering me something I had never heard before but then it was just words, no real glow nor real zeal, nothing but just going to church.
I repented, confessed my forgiveness, and fell in love with the KJV words of God. I had always loved reading and here was a book of romance ,mystery, suspense,betrayal,horror,all the reading I could receive. Except it was a living word, that got in my soul and stirred my mind & heart like NOTHING I had ever read before; I WANTED MORE !
So I studied, prayed,listened to the most godly women teach @ that church and the hunger for all God's fullness grew.
The 4 th of July I was gloriously blessed with the baptism of the Holy Ghost and spoke in tongues as the initial evidence to those around me. I FELT CLEAN,PURE FULLY SATURATED IN GOD'S MIGHTY LOVE.......WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO.
I was gifted to teach shortly thereafter, within the nursery. It was my own beginning as a child learning of the great God I love.
When I left that church 17 yrs later I had ended teaching mixed adults and the HUNGER for the word was so deep .
My journey has been a long one as I'm now 65. I've learned the deeper vallies of decisions and the higher mountains of bliss, the walk through this wicked unforgiving world with Satan nipping @ my soul trials & tribulations; ONE THING I HAVE FOUND, GOD IS FAITHFUL, HE NEVER FAILS AND IS NEVER TO BUSY TO LISTEN AND HELP THOSE THAT WILL CALL UPON HIM !
