Good Morning RM!! I know a lot of folks dont believe the same way I do but I believe in the Full Gospel and I believe that what Jesus did when he was on earth we can do also and greater things then this can we do because of the gift he sent us The Holy Spirit.. I believe in the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit of God gives the utterance.. Having said that I believe there comes a time in our lives when we are at our wits end and do not know what to pray or how to pray and thats when the Holy Spirit takes over and intercedes for us when we take ourselves out of the way and let him take over.

I had the priviledge of meeting and working with a gentleman several years ago who confided in me that before he came to know Jesus as his Savior he was a drunk and he still could not get rid of his temptation to stop and buy a bottle of whiskey. He told me with tears streaming down his face that he had talked to his pastor and deacons at his church about this and they told him he was not saved yet if he still had these cravings for a drink and they were going to remove him as a member until he truly got saved and even rebuked him for his testimonies he had given in church.. This man was broken hearted and told me he loved Jesus and wanted to serve him but cravings for a drink was so strong that he could not fight it anymore. I told him about the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and how he helps us when we are at our weakest and I told him if he was sincere God would know it and the gift would be his if he would only ask. "This is the story he related to me the next morning when he came to work and I told him Marvin you look different today" Well on his way home from work after I had told him about how the Holy Spirit would help him defeat the devil the urge to stop and get a bottle of whiskey was so strong he pulled into the parking lot of the whiskey store and was sitting there crying calling out to God to help and that he knew nothing about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit that Jackie had told him about but he wanted it and asked God for it in the name of Jesus, well folks he said it was like a cool breeze that blowed into his truck and some kind of language was coming from his lips and he did'nt know who drove his truck home all he knew was he was still Praising God when he got home and he was still Praising God the next day at work.. He has gone on to be with the Lord since this happened and never touched a drink again..
