My Experience of Holy Spirit Baptism & Prophecy

After Giving My Life to Christ

So, I went to sleep so fast like a child whom they just bought new clothes for and was permitted to wear them the following day. That was the best sleep of my life. When I woke up, I was still very happy. I remembered a friend of mine from secondary school who looked more like a Christian than anyone else I knew so I immediately sent a message to her telling her that I had given my life to Christ.

She was happy for me and encouraged me to read my Bible; she specifically instructed me to start from the account of John, and I obeyed. As I began to read my Bible, it was like I could finally see too. It seemed like I was discovering words in the Bible that I had never seen; I could personalise the things written and I was reading it like it was a personal letter sent to me and me alone. “Jesus must love only me.” I said to myself.

My Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Few days later, this high school friend of mine sent some books for me to read, and songs to listen to. She told me about the Holy Spirit and said that I could desire the Holy Spirit, and the Lord could baptise me Himself if I asked. So, the following morning, with much anticipation, I went on my knees at 6:00am and asked the Lord to baptise me in the Holy Spirit.

I knelt close to my bed and waited. Then, I felt electricity flow through me before I fell on my bed. When I got up, I began to speak in a different tongue. It was almost like I knew what to expect without really knowing.

Prophetic Experiences

The days following this experience were phenomenal. I believe I also received prophetic giftings too as I would see in a split second a person about to knock on my door and see myself respond to their requests before they actually knocked. So, by the time they eventually knocked, I would just go and get the thing they wanted and present it to them before they asked. I was always met with shocked faces.

One particular day as I was trying to tidy up my room, I remember bending down and seeing a scene play before my eyes like a movie I had watched before. It was like I was remembering the scene. The problem though was that this had never happened rather it happened seconds after!
