My experience at the Life In The
Spirit Seminar
Before the seminar, i actually felt quite reluctant to attend it. Luckily
it was something compulsory. If it was not i don think i would have gone to the
seminar and wouldn't be here sharing my experiences with everyone.
After the seminar, I felt like a whole different person. Someone who was
able to change for the better, someone who was actually able to forgive and
forget what others have done to hurt me and that I was able to give and
take what was given to me and not feel so greedy anymore. I used to have
alot of hatred in my heart and I'm glad to say that after attending this
seminar, I was able to get rid of the hatred that i had in myself.
The LSS has changed me life. I'm more cheerful not and although I'm not
perfect, I try not to repeat my sins again. It's hard.
During the inner healing session, like most of us, I cried. Before the
session even started(when aunty pauline was explaining the meaning of inner
healing) I already had a feeling I was going to cry. Then when the session
started and the aunties sang the song "Jesus, We Enthrone You" tears
started to roll down my cheeks and I didn't know why. I practically cried
my eyeballs out. I felt so much hurt and sadness when i recalled all that
happened before. I was really sorry. When it was my turn to light the candle
and pray at the foot of Jesus, I closed my eyes and i felt like a wave in the
ocean swaying to and fro. I was so afraid i would fall front and drop the
crucifix so i opened my eyes and it stopped. I closed my eyes again and the
feling was gone.
I then went to the aunties and they prayed over me. Again i felt like a wave
swaying to and fro so I let myself just go free and before i knew it, I fell
back and was on the floor. For a moment i didn't know anything. But as soon as
the aunties caught me at the back I was fully aware of the happenings around
me. Then my heart was pumping so furiously. So i just lay down until my
heartbeat was back to normal. When i got back up, my hands and feet were very
cold but inside i felt a kind of warmth i never felt before. I felt as if there
was a heavy load of burden lifted off my shoulders and was feeling as light as
a feather.
That night, most of us were not able to sleep and Uncle Valentine came into the
room and we talked and asked him ALOT of questions. That morning
we slept so comfortably.
During the baptism of the Holy Spirit, when the uncle prayed over me, I felt
someone pushing my head. Again I let everything go and I fell to the floor
again. After I got up I felt really really warm. I was at first disappointed I
didn't get the gift of tongues. But I will keep praying for it.
At the end of the LSS i was feeling very sad. Uncle Valentine and Aunty Faith
told me that it was the end of the seminar but the beginning of the life in the
spirit. Till now, I still cry to the song "Jesus, We Enthrone You"
but i believe there's a reason for all this crying. I would really like to
atend more LSS in the future. I have ALOT more to say. But unfortunately, I
just can't express it in words.
