When I Got the Holy Ghost... How About You?

[jaxfam6]

I was 9. Had been baptized by my father at the age of 5 and spent the next 4 yrs simply not really knowing what I was praying for. In a revival my dad was preaching in Molina Florida for Bro Neil I found what I had been looking for.
I had watched the night before as one of my new friends had been filled with the Holy Ghost and when my dad asked me why I had not received it that night I told him it was because when he prays with me he spits on me and it distracts me.
WELL he did not pray with me the next night. I was at the altar and praying and I remember hearing my mom and Sis Neil praying with me and after that I remember coming back to reality laying on the floor.
I knew something had happened because I could feel it inside of me.
My mom told me later in life that when Bro Neil walked by me had laid his hand on my head and almost immediately I fell flat on the floor speaking in another language.
At one point in my life I started to doubt it and while eating dinner one night and reading the book "They speak with other tongues" I simply started sobbing and speaking in tongues with no preamble to it. THAT had never happened before from the time I was 9 till I was in my 20's and looking for confirmation. It had always taken pray for some time or another to get tongues to flow again. Since that day it has not been difficult at all.
Now all I need it to be in the presence of some people and tongues will want to flow. BUT then again the gift of tongues is NOT the same as when you receive the Holy Ghost.
