Ok this is where it gets interesting , Well its been about 5 years since I asked Jesus into my heart ( and that didn't make me born again) I was going to a good church most there spoke in tongues, I didn't .. the pastor laid hands on me praying the Holy Spirit would come over me and grant me to speak in tongues. I got ahold of a little booklet by Hagen on speaking in tongues I read it when the wife was at work . I mean I didn't want to sound like an idiot in front of anyone. It said I was supposed to start and the Holy Spirit would take over???. I thought it was supposed to be a supernatural thing that just happened like in the upper room. It didn't make sense but thought ok lets try it...now how do I start?? I prayed a bit thought I better start by saying some thing Holy .. I thought of saying hubba bubba bubble gum but decided on saying Jehova yea thats better. So I said seriously His Holy name and I started to speak in tongues I think??I continued to speak and thought at the same time...How could I know if it was really tongues? Could be me yammering.. I know If its me I can change what I was saying I will actual inject "hubba bubba bubblegum" ...you know i couldn't do it... woohoo! I was speaking in tongues..

Once while at work ( I drive for Grayhound) talking about the Lord which I do alot of,, with the passenger sitting behind me she said do you speak in tongues I answered yes..the Lord said "show them"...Lord Im at work here the people I was talking too faded into the background Show them..but Lord I have a bus load of people here they are going to think Im nuts...Show Them!..Lord I can get fired if I do...SHOW THEM..Ok fine then I opened my mouth just to give them a few seconds of it.. then it was different I lost control I couldn't stop and I got louder I didn't know what was happening ..I got louder and then I ..I mean the Holy Spirit released me. I was in shock ..the bus was very quite I asked the coulple I was talking to if I got real loud they both said ..uh huh.

Months later I was in the drivers room at work talking to a friend (seventhday advantist) he asked me if i was filled with the Holy Spirit I said yes I lay hands and speak in tongues..Show him..oh no not again not here in the drivers room.. I was sitting in a corner with my friend chatting quietly.. please Lord not here the room was full of secular type swearing all the time I hated being there. Show him..Lord no they already think I'm crazy.. Show him so I did and yes it happened again when I stopped a few drivers left fast. My friend said where did you learn that? I said learn? you think that was me? What did you say? I have no idea but the Lord does. Can you do it again? Yes but it will not be the same I am not the one doing it.

Thats about it .. it is all true just the way it happened I have had a few more encounters of the Holy kind but thats another story.

Lord my Father ..I pray that my telling of what you have done in my life will touch some one ... I pray Lord that you will
move in their life Lord as you have in mine. I thank in your sons Holy name Jesus the Christ...Amen
