When Joan was young and lived at home with her parents she attended a stiff traditional church where there wasn’t a lot of joy. Joan went to church as the ‘family representative’. Morning prayer, communion, youth Bible study, a lot about the Old Testament but not much talk about Jesus. Joan felt like something was missing and went looking around the different churches for something more alive and spiritual.
Being touched by the Holy Spirit is a very personal thing. A friend said to me “one day it’s going to happen to you.” But I said, “there was no way I’m going to go out with the Holy Spirit” (laying on the floor, slain by the Holy Spirit).
Then one day at church Pastor Sirus was asking the following questions, do you know the Holy Spirit? Have you ever been touched by the Holy Spirit? If you come up the front you can be filled with the Holy Spirit. “I was glad for other people to be filled with the Holy Spirit, but I was not so sure about it for myself.” Joan hesitantly decided to go forward and Pastor Sirus asked for her hands, “Can you feel anything Joan?” Next thing Joan remembers is waking up on the floor of the church two and a half hours later, Pastor Sirus was quoting scriptures, and most people had left church. “I felt so good, I had had the best sleep ever, and I didn’t need my walking stick any more. I was on a real high.”
