Baptism of the Holy Spirit

I got to help pray over fellow students today - hearts and bodies were healed! But the personal experience came after...I was prayed over after for a baptism of the Holy Spirit that I may speak in tongues. Never done this before, didn't really know that you could pray for that - kind of thought it was always weird! I felt the Holy Spirit as I was prayed for but didn't speak in tongues. 

But as I was walking home afterwards, I started to pray out loud, thanking and praising God for the awesome prayer time I had just been part of. To my surprise, it came out in another language! In my head I was speaking English to God, but audibly it was in tongues! I felt like God waited to give me that gift because He knew in my heart that I was interested in the gift, instead of the giver of gifts, Him! I'm so thankful I still got to experience Him in that way! Crazy! God is so awesome!

Myles' Back Testimony

Hey everyone I just wanted to share my Testimony.

I have had immense back for about 3 months and it was not nearly close to getting better. Until last Friday. Last Friday I had a blessing happen to me. As I sat in class my professor made a statement saying "if anyone has any back pain, stay after class so I could pray over you." I immediately felt as if she was talking directly to me. It kinda of scared me, so my first thought was not to stay but to leave and handle the problem myself. As class ended I walked out the door, but as I walked out something told me to come back in and get prayed for. 

I walked back in and have 6 students and my professor pray over me. They prayed several times and I didn't feel a thing; but there was a voice in my head telling me that I needed to believe in the healing and personally ask God to heal me. I listened to the voice in my head and began talking to God and telling Him I believe and would love for Him to heal me. Instantly after talking to God during the prayers being said they asked if my back feels any better and suddenly I felt the pain go away. I began to bend my back like never before while in pain. It was a blessing. I was one not to believe in healings before but once the healing happened to me I began to not doubt God and His power. In all this experience has brought me even closer to God.
