My First Experience

He could have shared his Holy Ghost experience after that if that's how the Lord was leading.

Anyhow, having said that, I too love to hear about how people were born again and their Holy Ghost experience and other kinds of experiences and testimonies as well.

Hope others will join in here.

Sometimes God has other plans~ I remember it was our vacation time to see family and visited the church as the norm. That Sunday out of the blue a missionary from Kenya show up. Later the missionary was asked to preach, he had he slides set up, instead of telling us about Kenya and his work there, he felt God was dealing with the church people as a whole. He went on to say that God wanted to heal the hurt within this body, this man knew nothing about the Church or the hurt that had taken place within. That night many ran, not walked to the front asking God to forgive and mend their hearts.

The point is this, it took a person, someone far away like Kenya, someone who didn't know a single soul there personally, knew nothing about the problems or sickness within to minster and to open the eyes of the church to see, God was dealing with them. God wanted to heal, so sometimes God has plans Himself we just got go with them~ In the end I'm sure God blessed this man for follow Him~
