How i began to feel the Holy Spirit

Experiencing the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit is a deeply personal and spiritual journey. While the process may vary for individuals, here are some steps i cultivated to have a deeper connection with the Holy Spirit:

Seek a Relationship with God: I developed a personal relationship with God through prayer, reading scripture, and participating in worship (Victoria Orenze chants & worship). It is important to open your heart and mind to God's presence and invite Him to reveal Himself to you. Deuteronomy 4:29, Psalm 37:4-5


Surrender and Yield: I was and am always eager to surrender my will and desires to God, allowing Him to work in my life. Yield to the leading and promptings of the Holy Spirit, trusting that He knows what is best for you.


Repentance and Forgiveness: The most difficult is forgiveness, I made a conscious effort to examine my heart and repent of any sins or wrongdoings. Seek forgiveness from God and others, and forgive those who have wronged you. A clean heart and a spirit of forgiveness create an environment for the Holy Spirit to dwell.


Prayerful Lifestyle: Prayer is not just kneeling before God, it's communicating in whatever way you can, whether walking, working, bathing, or doing what so ever,  I developed a consistent and intentional prayer life. Set aside dedicated time for prayer, both individually and communally. Be open and honest with God, pouring out your heart and seeking His presence.


Study and Meditate on Scripture (One can never finish studying and meditating on the scripture): Regularly read and study the Bible, allowing the Word of God to speak to your heart. Meditate on its teachings, seeking to understand and apply them to your life. The Holy Spirit often illuminates scripture and brings it to life. 


Spiritual Gifts: By doing this I received my spiritual gift, the best Gift one could get, the ability to speak to him in a different tongue, see things before it happens, and the gift of being able to hear from him anything and anywhere. Be open to the spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit bestows upon believers. These gifts can include wisdom, discernment, prophecy, healing, and others. Seek to discover and utilize your spiritual gifts for the benefit of others and the glory of God.


Live a Life of Love and Service: Embrace a life characterized by love, kindness, and service to others. Allow the Holy Spirit to work through you, demonstrating the fruits of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Remember, the experience of the Holy Spirit's presence is personal and unique to each individual. It may take time and patience to fully embrace and feel the Holy Spirit's guidance and influence in your life. Trust in God's timing and remain open to His leading along this transformative journey.
