Thirsty?
A few days ago I was in a meeting of our district presbyters. For the devotion the Superintendent had invited a Baptist pastor to share how he had been baptized in the Holy Spirit.
This pastor’s testimony was extremely refreshing. He simply related how he was hungry and thirsty for God. He kept seeking God, he checked the Word and became convinced that God had more for him. On a Sunday afternoon while he was seeking God, he was gloriously baptized in the Holy Spirit. There is no way I can communicate the spirit with which this pastor spoke. While he was speaking I felt I also received a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit. His hunger and thirst for God just “oozed” all over him. He was like a “kid with a new toy.”
Why don’t we see more of that? Has God changed? Or is it that we are not hungry and thirsty for God? He that hungers and thirsts…will be filled.
Lord, I am thirsty! Lord, send me a fresh touch of your Spirit.
Blessings
