It is not that Paul doesn't believe in the Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He has never witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit in a formal religious setting. All that changed on May 17, 2015. On that day, the Holy Rosary Charismatic Prayer Group of St. Thomas More University Parish, Norman, Oklahoma which he is a member of, invited a man of God, Bro. Uwakwe Christian Chukwu Hearts of Jesus and Mary Ministires, Simpsonville, South Carolina to the group's revival and Pentecostal week's activities. That day, therew were deliverance and manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Paul is about to share his personal Pentecostal experience what will leave you asking questions.
Here is Paul's testimony. Enjoy it and be blessed.
When the man of God was preaching about the Holy Spirit, little did Paul know that the preaching would have something to do with him as an individual. During the Holy Ghost hour, everybody was instructed to place his/her hand on his/her forehead. After a while, in between singing and praises, Paul started screaming uncontrollably at the top of his voice. He ahs been touched by the Holy Spirit. Less than one minute, he found himself n the floor. The screaming lasted for about ten minutes or more. From May 17, 2015 to October 24, 2015, the screaming continued but not everyday. The experience did nto end there. The night of October 24, 2015 was a night of praises for his wife. Night of praises consists of saying the Rosary and giving praises to the Almighty Father. Paul used to give tiredness and feeling sleepy as excuses for not joining his wife in this prayer. That night, it was like a part of him protested and got him to join the prayer. "I am very glad I joined the prayer," the award-winning and international bestselling author said. That night, the usual screaming gave way to uncontrollable laughing in the spirit that lasted for about ten minutes.
On the 30th of October while saying his Rosary (a ritual that is a part of his family devotional), he started to speak in tongues. He has been speaking in tongues since then. On December 22, he found himself singing in the spirit. Apart from laughing in the spirit, singing in the spirit, and speaking in tongues, Paul had gone through other experiences like his tongue suddenly being pulled outwards as seen in receiving the Holy Communion.
On the 24th of February, 2016, he reached another milestone in his spiritual quest. On this day, he had the privilege of giving a woman a ride to Shekinah Fellowship Church (SFC) located on SW 104th sreet and South Walker Avenue in South Oklahoma City. Paul has never been to this church before. SFC is between South Santa Fe and South Walker Avenue, about o.75 miles from the nearest highway.
"As we got to the parking lot, he started to speak in tongues," the woman told a gentleman who came to meet her at the west entrance of the church.
As Paul was leaving the church premises, the phenomenon repeated. He came back the next day to SFC. The Holy Spirit manifested while he drove in and while he was leaving. Amazing!
In mathematics, there is a popular saying that says:
"It takes two points to determine a particular straight line."
The Bible in 2 Corinthians 13 verse 1 says: "The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or more witnesses."
Paul later noticed another church on the same side of SW 104th Street. When he got there, the Holy Spirit did not manifest either while driving in or driving out. He immediately drove back to SFC and the phenomenon repeated. Later, he noticed a third church on the east side of the second church. As he got there, the Holy Spirit did not manifest at all. Out of curiosity, he repeated the visit to these churches several times. Each time the Holy Spirit manifested at SFC but not a the other two. Paul then extended the visit to about thirty other churches located in different part of Oklahoma City but mostly in the south. The Holy Spirit did not manifest in any of these churches and this should not be taken as a proof that the Glory of God is not present in these other churches. Paul feels that visiting these churches conducting the "Shekinah Glory Test" (presence of the glory of God test) has now become an addiction.
"Do not consider that as an addiction. Even if it is, is a good one to have," a believer told him after hearing his testimony. To Paul, the "Shekinah Glory Test" is an ongoing process.
What do you think is going on here?
What do you advise Paul to do?
He wants to hear from you.
