After all that crap had happened, and I was left feeling hopeless, hated, deserted, lonely, addicted, and thrown all around, God came to me. I decided to go to Youth Alpha, it is a youth group at my old church. I made some new friends, one of them was Albert. About two weeks after I started going to Youth Alpha, we went on a trip, as a group, to Waterloo, Iowa, to an event called "Summer of Service," which we called "S.O.S." We did all sorts of fun activities. We gave out water bottles at random intersections, and we made breakfast in a park (I made Pancakes) and we went to a water park one day. And at night, I stayed in this guest house with a few of my friends. I made a lot of friends there, and I don't really talk to a lot of them anymore, but oh well. It was all fun and games and stuff, but it wasn't what I wanted. It wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted to feel God. I wanted to feel loved, and I wanted to know that I was saved. I was always afraid that I had commited some unforgivable sin, or something.
One Night, the youth pastor of the Church we were at, Nick, said that we were going to wait on the Lord. He said that we were going to hold out our hands, and bow our heads, and close our eyes. So we waited for the Holy Spirit to fill the room. And I knew that The Holy Spirit was there, because people were like, twitching and it was kind of freaky. But I knew that this kind of stuff happened. But, I just wasn't feeling anything. Nick said that everyone who wasn't feeling God, should go to the back of the room, and recieve prayer. I got into a small circle with some people, like, David, and Albert, and some other people. When we were praying, God just put his presence on Albert, and he fell the the ground. I really thought that it was weird, but I felt a force on my back, like someone was pushing me, and when I looked, there was no one. And then I was SHOVED to the ground. It is what is called being, "Struck Down In The Spirit." I felt a weird feeling, like... it felt like I was glowing? If that makes any sense? But then I just prayed for God to show me his LOVE, and he poured it out all over me. I felt someone like...massaging my head, or running their fingers through my hair..and I knew that it was God. I felt his presence fall upon me, and it felt like rain falling on my back, but it was warm...and cold.. At times I felt like I was on fire, and others like I was frozen, and I knew that it was a battle. But All the while, God ministered to my heart, and told me, How much he LOVED me, and how much he wanted me for his purpose, and he told me, that I was his, and that he was going to use me, to bring HIM glory. And at that time, I felt all my depression, and my anxieties leave me. I was filled with the Holy Spirit, and I started to pray in toungues. I prayed for a girl (she was kind of gothic, and anti-social the whole time), and there were people yelling at an evil presence that was on her. They cast it away. It had No place there. She was God's. And the room was really tense, and then I prayed for a man who was growling, and he was yelling, and crying. And there was definitely SOMETHING in him, that shouldn't have been. I prayed, over and over again, Holy Spirit Come. And then I had to leave.

that's incredible. I never felt something that powerful when God came over me. |
