I Got the Power

I wasn't planning on updating so soon but I experienced something last night that was amazing. The Holy Spirit manifested himself in me. This may sound weird and I don't expect you to understand fully but I will try to communicate it. We went to go feed the homeless last night (the family that I have been staying with since Monday) and what we did was go to an empty parking lot and let people come to us and we would talk with them and pray for them. Well, it got to a point were there we hardly any people coming so we started praying. I started asking God to let me love Him more and let me feel the love I have for Him. As I was doing that I felt a wave of heat on my face like I passed by a vent or something except I was staying in one place and there wasn't anything like that nearby. By the way it was in the 40s last night. So once I feel it I think it's the Spirit but it was just one little wave of heat so I prayed harder and for the Spirit to consume me. I felt more wave of heat on my face and then pretty soon my whole body was consumed in a warmth and I felt like a grip on my chest. And then I started laughing. Let me explain one thing. The whole time this stuff was happening I was in control. I wasn't making myself feel that way or make myself laugh but I could stop if I want. It reminds me of how Paul talks about how the Spirit is subject to the prophets. It's true. I could stop it but I wasn't causing it at the same time. So after I started laughing I lost the warmth and then started shaking. I'm not sure if it was the Spirit or getting cold right after the warmth of the Spirit but I kept shaking for a while and I believe it was the Spirit. After this I was super happy and was smiling the whole time and felt this complete peace in me. I know it sounds weird but I know it was the Spirit and ask God that you will be able to experience it. The Spirit works in different ways and people feel him differently, but this is how he worked in me.
