God Moves Among His Children

While speaking with a class of eighth graders about the action of the Holy Spirit. I was asked to speak in tongues. My response to the request was that I would not do that because if I initiated the tongues it would be nothing more than gibberish. I told the students that we should enter into a time of prayer and be open to the action of the Holy Spirit and if the Spirit moved in me to pray in tongues then I would obey. As we began to pray I told them that I might walk around the classroom and lay hands on them as the Spirit led. I was moved to pray in tongues and did touch many of them as I walked in their midst. After the time of prayer I asked if anyone would like to share his or her experience. A number of them said that they had a deep inner peace, while others spoke of feeling light or dizzy. A few experienced tears. I assured them that what we experienced was the Holy Spirit. Praise God! Deacon Dennis
