Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.
This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.
The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.
DAY 7 – Worship
What a service this was, I was filled by the Lord many times in worship. Spent the evening between the floor, standing and on my knees. I was filled a first time while worshipping, my face and my hands felt very warm.
I was never accustomed to get filled by the Lord so easily and so many times. Before this year Pentecost service at our church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), I have asked the Lord to prepare me, as I wanted to experienced Him in His fulness. In the weeks coming to Pentecost, I receive many messages: bible scripture, church services… on the “Fight between flesh and spirit”.
Galatians 5:17
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Since then, I make sure to go on my knees before each and every services, to tell the Lord that I surrender myself: body, flesh, mind and spirit to Him. I have been more “physical” in my worship, moving, jumping, keeping arms in the air in surrender to the Lord. I am giving it all I have, because our Lord is good and He deserve the glory and the honor, He deserve the best from us. At some point the flesh, the body gets tired: shoulder pains while keeping arms in the air for long time, leg paining, throat getting soar, tired feeling… But I did not listen to the signs of my body, I ignored the pain and pushed on harder, it is at that point I get filled and my extremities filled numb (arms and legs) and I fall on the ground.
Our pastor stopped everything, and that said that as a collective we are not worshipping as we should, we are not putting our hearts to it, we are not giving it all. Pastor indicated that we are going to sing then worship again, hopefully with a better result. I was jumping of gladness, happiness in my worship, so excited to tell the Lord: He has been very good to me, to thank Him for my life. I obviously finished on the floor again. After some time, I regained my body, and stayed on my knees. Still filled by the Lord, I lifted my hands, and went into a more softer worship. I was still telling the Lord how great He is, how good He is to me… And I fell again on the floor.
I have learned one lesson from this worshipping experience: it does not matter what you say, how loud you say it, if you jump or you are still. You MUST JUST believe what you tell the Lord when you worship Him. Let the Holy spirit guide you in worship, believe in your heart what you telling the Lord, then He will definitely fill you.
One last time, pastor says we are going to feel the wind of God. I immediately could not stand on my legs and fell on the floor. While there I had that strange feeling to take deep breath, like if there was something attracting in the air.
In this service, I have spent more time lying on the floor than any other time. It was difficult for me to stand on my feet at the end of the service. What an amazing feeling.
Thank you Lord
Amen
