Let's lift up 
Let's lift up In my old life I believed we were all created good, and over the course of time some became corrupt, mentally ill, or maybe even evil. I taught this to my kids, and had influence in other peoples belief system. God was a forgiving God full of unconditional love, defining love in the way our western culture defines it. I used the example of the birth of my children, they were perfect when they were born.
I felt like I had become a good person. I helped people (even secretly), I tried to be a good mom, I made sacrifices, I donated money, I thought I was doing all I could.
This belief system lead me to believe I did not need a savior. I did not believe in hell.
I knew all the Bible stories from childhood, but they were like a cute story. Adam and Eve running around with their fig leaves, Noah bringing in the animals two by two, and Jonah in a big whale with a little candle. They were all good stories, but I did not relate to them. I had even done more sophisticated Bible studies in catholic high schools, no connection.
2 Corinthians 5:16-18
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
What Changed? Repentance, Prayer of repentance, Baptism in water, Baptism by the Holy Spirit. ( I have seen many twitter post whether or not any or all of those are necessary, In my experience without a doubt).
Acts 2:38
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
One normal day, no trauma, no major events, around 11:00 am A strong urge came over me. I knew I wanted it, I wanted baptized I called my son, went to his community, where a group of women came with me to a solarium. Another woman closer to my age began explaining what was going to happen. They began praying for me for the Lord to reveal any unrepentant sin in me. This went on for two hours. Things I had done I had forgotten came up. There were a lot of tears, and tissues. Then they did a final prayer for me. We went upstairs to a garden bath tub I got in with all my clothes, and a lot of people started praying over me, and explained I was going under as one person and reemerge as a new person in Christ. I have to say my brain did not understand completely, my spirit did. About an hour later someone ask me if I wanted to receive the Holy Spirit (up to this point I was actually scared of the Holy spirit, for some unexplained reason). I said Yes, Thank You Lord! Many people just stood around me praying I would receive the Holy Spirit while I ask Him to come into me. I really do not have the words to describe it all, physically I had chills running up and down my back, the palms of my hands got warm and tingely, and my fingers twitched. It was the most amazing feeling ever.
There were a few immediate changes in my life, my thinking, my attitudes. The most notable was my desire to have a relationship with Jesus, to get to know Him. Over time everything has changed. Some changes such as entertainment choices. I lost all desire to watch or read sex related, or violent, TV shows, or books. It is not like I had to struggle it was just gone. Reading the Bible became revealing and relate able I knew with out any doubt God wrote The Bible. This understanding changes everything. I now have a guide book for life on earth and after physical death. Everything I need to know, or understand is in the Bible, God wrote us the guide. One of the most miraculous changes is my thinking on this life is but just a vapor. My whole existence is to glorify The Lord. My whole perspective has changed on obedience and submission. I now know obedience and submission are FREEDOM. I trust the Lord, a completely new concept. More and more people anointed by The Holy Spirit come into my life. It is so different to be with someone filled with the Spirit versus a Christian struggling on their own. Even when I do not understand something in my brain, there is something deep inside me that "gets" it and encourages me to PUSH.
Now if there is a time in church where they ask if anyone wants to receive or get a fresh anointing or filled I am right there. That is why I ask everyday for The Lord to reveal any unforgiveness un repentant sin, or any wounds to be healed. I want to shed light on any darkness, I want all those places to be filled.
Acts 2 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them.4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Thank You Jesus
