I WENT to church when I was little. I got bored of the "kiddy" songs and stories and was glad that God was "only for Sundays".
In the summer holidays my brother
invited me to a Jesus Army event so I went along.
While we were there, he prayed for me and I started to cry, then laugh. Then I started to cry again. This time it was a deep crying. Something deep inside of me was being touched by God.
Slowly I felt myself being filled up with what I can only describe as warm liquid love. I felt fire in me which slowly crept up until it burst out my mouth in words I didn't understand. I was "speaking in tongues" like in the Bible!
Tears were streaming down my face. I felt electric, truly alive and touched deep down by God. My whole body was tingling.
Later, I kept bursting out in this new language. Two weeks later I was baptised on my thirteenth birthday.
