So I want to start off by saying, Have you ever been taized in the Holy spirit?
You are probably wondering what I am talking about, and this is exactly it…. Last night I was at our worship session for debrief, and there is something I have been holding on to in the fear of offending someone or thinking one of my team members would look at me differently. So, as I stand in worship I feel a restraint, like I just can’t go on like this anymore, I just want to be free…
Free in my worship, free in who I am in God, and Free in the gifts he has given me. I knew that this was my time just to break free. I went to my leader Michael and was like I can no longer walk in this fear of man. I am sick of it, Sick of SATAN having a foot hold on me and not going to the deepest depths God has for me. He told me just to let it go when ever I was ready, God was waiting. So I walk back over to my spot and start speaking in tongues but it was in a whisper because I was still afraid. Afraid of offending, Afraid of my team and Afraid of not doing it right..
Well I am here to tell you that there is not right or wrong and when you have the fear of man it is your own sin, and it is hindering you from the deepest depths God has for you!
Michael walks up to me and is like how are you doing and I just didn't know what to say. He then took me to the other tent and told me to stand on the chair and that there was a boldness in my words. So Chris and Micheal sat in chairs a good distance from me and told me to just speak out in what God was giving to me. And then it began. I began to speak in tongues like I never have before with such power. At that moment Chris and Michael came up to me, Chris said can we taize you in the spirit. And I started laughing. When Chris so to speak Taized me in the spirt I felt a feeling I had never felt before. I realized that God was moving and his spirit was flowing through me. Michael said get down out the chair your about to go down… And I am here to tell you he was so right. I fell out in the spirit (for the first time).
I then Got up from being slang in the spirit and Michael says you have something to give, come over here… I started speaking in tongues again and I was praying over two people . It was incredible God was working through us all..
Then Nick came over and started praying for me and I fell out again. This feeling was so great I didn’t want it to go away. It was a feeling that I had never felt before , to an extreme that was so intense. As I got up this time, another girl from team Uganda was speaking in tongues and we were feeding off of each other it was incredible and to an extent that the only way we would ever be there would be by God.
As I walked back to the other tent, I began praying over Kayla and I just felt such a peace and comfort. It was amazing. I the walked away and then again Nick and Micheal were standing there. Nick started talking about Thailand and how that I was going to set people free. (oh yeah this is where I am going this summer).
Michael then put anointing oil on my head and began to pray while Nick prayed and yet again I was slang in the Holy Spirit. I must say this was such an incredible experience.
As I get up this last time, I just began to laugh, a laugh that is soo contagious that me and 3 other people are laughing in the spirit.. This is the first time I was truly DRUNK in the Holy spirit and the others around me were also.
A Laughter that Can’t be Contained.. Do you Dare to be Taized in the Holy Spirit?
