Our Church had organised a 2-day 1-night camp for the Young Adults and Youth. I signed up for this camp and became part of the camp committee while not knowing what will happen.
On 27th of May 2023, we had a sermon conducted by Pastor Jonathan. That night, Pastor Jonathan was praying and everyone started to close their eyes. I start to feel the Holy Spirit coming up from my feet all the way.
The Holy Spirit was so strong that night that I knelt down so hard. Even the people around me also could hear it.
As I knelt down I continue to close my eyes. Suddenly, I heard a voice – God was asking me to minister to the youth. Youths who were eager to feel the Holy Spirit. The next thing I knew was that I told my worship leader to tell the youths and young adults in the camp to come forward to me.
But knowing Singaporeans, we are all shy people. Thus, no one really came up. Then I continued to ask God: who do you want me to minister to?
God answered, Amy. I then asked someone to call Amy to come over to me because I was ‘stuck’ to the floor. As she came over, I asked, “Do you want to experience the Holy Spirit?”
She replied, “Yes.”
I then held her hands and started to pray over her. Barely a few seconds later, she started tearing. After praying with her. I told her, this is the Holy Spirit.
Next, I asked God again, who to minister this time round?
He then put the name of this girl in my mind – Eleora.
As she come forth to me, I similarly asked her, “Do you want to experience the Holy Spirit?”
She replied “Yes”, and as I ministered to her, she started to tear uncontrollably too.
I asked God once again, who? He then revealed this name to me, Charis.
As she came forward, I also asked her, “Do you want to experience the Holy Spirit?”
She replied “Yes.”
As I ministered to her, she said that she felt a sensation going throughout her body, a feeling that could not really be described.
The evening then drew to a close and the Pastor closed off in prayer. Still, I couldn’t really stand. My legs were still so weak, such that I had to use my hands to support myself to get onto the nearest chair. It took another 30 minutes or so before I could really stand up to walk around.
As a Christian who has just turned a year old spiritually, I had never expected myself to be ministering to anyone while kneeling down. It was a really wonderful experience and if given another chance I would still do it for God.
Before I end my testimony, I would like you to know that if you hear something from God, trust it and do it. In turn, you will be blessed by God for doing His work.
Acts 1:8 (NIV)
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
