I'm Manpreet from Punjab ..My family follows the Hindu/Sikh traditional
I too used to follow this tradition at first... In my convent school I became aware of Christianity
but I ignored it because no one in my house believed in it ..My grandmother used to read for us comic books about Jesus
Thats how I came to know of Jesus... Till the ninth grade it was like that
Jesus was just another God for me... Like I worshipped other Gods I would worship Jesus also
When ever i worship other Gods....start worshipping Jesus also.
Then I thought the God is only one so which God was the true God. I kept thinking of this
Then I decided that whichever God comes into my life and does good things for me, I will accept that as my God
Thats how it went on ...My grandmother died. She did not tell me fully about Jesus
I had no other person to tell me about Jesus ..But there was a thirst for knowledge that had arisen in me
Just to know more I would go to the church but I did know how to pray .. First I made Jesus my friend.
I used to talk to him as if talking to a friend.There was no one in the church .. I there was someone I would not go in the church
I was afraid because I did not know how to pray. but I made Jesus my best friend. Whenever I needed something I would tell Jesus
Then I felt the need to read the Bible but did not know how to get one. I had no contact with anyone who could give me a bible
Then I told Jesus I want a Bible. The Priests and sisters had one so... I also want to know whats written in it.
One day I was in the church and the Priest came. I asked him for a Bible...I told him I'll return it in three days
I was in th ninth grade then.. He gave me a Bible I took it home. Did not show it to anyone and started reading.
After three days I returned it back to the Priest .But then I told him I want to keep it.He happily gave it to me.
That is the first thing I asked from Jesus and he gave me. I could not understand any of the characters in the Bible. There was no one to guide me.
I thought it would only be about Jesus. I was not able to understand the names of the disciples and the context of some scriptures
Then I asked Jesus for understanding. I told him "Now you have given me a Bible. Now also explain it."
It so happened that all the friends I made also My roommates were believers of Jesus
But still I was not a strong believer. Jesus was only a friend to me
I then had a roommate from Chandigarh who was Christian and she began to teach me about Jesus. She had strong faith. I would wonder how could she have such strong faith .She was a Sikh
I learnt a lot form her .Then I got admission in a college @ Nepal
I thought that there would be no one here to teach me about Jesus
My admission itself was a miracle. I always wanted to be a Doctor and at the last moment I got admission for MBBS. I went to Nepal to study
There were only Hindus and there i do't find church so I asked Jesus for a church because I believed he would give me one
I would pray to him to show me a church.Then a new guard came to the hostel, one day,
She came into my room and saw the posters in my room and asked me if I believed in Jesus. She told me she was Christian
I asked her to find a church for me .She found a church for me. I would go there
The people were so good there. there was a small prayer room .They were very loving and prayed sincerely but I could not understand their language
Then I told Jesus this is all good but now you teach me more from Bible. Then I was lead to youtube where I found a video of Sangeetha
It was about the Holy Spirit. I said I may as well watch it
So I watched it. I came to know about the Holy Spirit. What is Holy Spirit? No body there to explain it to me.
Earlier i have christian friends..Now no body there to teach me.
I kept watching the video . While watching the video my mother came and sat beside me
Then Sangeetha said if you ask Jesus for the Holy Spirit is a free gift... you will received him. Then I requested Jesus for the Holy Spirit
Then by faith I declared to my mother that I received the Holy Spirit. I had so much faith that I just received it
Then I would speak the name of Jesus in everything I did because I wanted to speak in a new language because the video said I would speak in a new language/tougue
We went to a Church.That is a new church for us. First time went there.
Everyone was praying there> My mother and me were sitting at the back. I always had the desire to be called up by prayer leader and for special prayers to be said for me.
i would ask Jesus for that. I would keep talking to Jesus all the time
That prayer meeting is over.. I then went to the pastor and asked him to pray over me for my exam results. He put his hand on my head.I felt something like electricity go through my body.
As he kept praying I felt the strong presence of power in three times. Like someone was holding my head and shaking it
I felt as if something was filling inside of me from my head and also something was leaving from me through my feet. I couldn't speak or move and tears coming out from my eyes
I was telling the Holy Spirit to stop as I could not handle it more what was happening. In my mind I was thinking that my mother was there and I will be scolded when we get home. what is the need of all this..like that
I was shaking and making sounds but was felt very lightly in my mind and body. felt like something going out from my body..
All of that negativity was leaving from me. I felt as if I was being filled by something inside
I fell over . i try all my strength to stand again﻿ and again...then again fell over...
Pastor prayed again and I fell again. I could stand in the presence of the power of the Holy Spirit
After everything was over all came to me and congratulated me that I had received the Holy Spirit. They even congratulated my mother saying that her new life has begun
I told them I thought I already received the Holy Spirit before.They then explained to me that this is how you get the Holy Spirit
Then I realised that I had not received it the previous day. Thats how I received the Holy Spirit. I was feeling tremendous joy and peace as if everything is new
So by watching Sangeetha's video I came to know who the Holy Spirit is... I would ask Jesus to guide me
I went back to the hostel. I wanted to speak the new language
Before I would pray for few minutes then I would lose interest and it would get over soon. This time I asked Jesus what should I do
Then one day while I was praying.There was strange language coming from my mouth and I could not control it
I was speaking and speaking but could not stop. I felt good speaking it. It felt like important prayers but I could not understand it.
I decided I will not stop and would continue speaking this language. I kept speaking. Tears coming out of my eyes..I am started to crying
I felt as if I was repenting for something..asking forgiveness for something.Then I realized that this was the language of the Holy Spirit
That was the first time I spoke with the Holy Spirit's language.Then after that I started asking Jesus , here there is no christian, to give me a prayer partner
There was a college senior who was a Muslim. She came to my room and asked me if I read the Bible. I thought she would say being a Hindu why are you reading the Bible?
I said "Yes, I read the Bible" .The next day she came and asked me about the Bible and said how you pray? she wish to hear...
I would tell her whatever I knew about the Bible. Then i showed her that video about Holy Spirit.
I told her about the Holy Spirit. She told me to give her the Holy Spirit.I told it is free gift which only Jesus can give...ask Jesus
She agreed and start parying along with me.The first and second day she did not receive the Holy Spirit but she received on the third day
From then we started praying together. we prayed for others..There was another senior who came to know of our prayers. She was an atheist and challenged us to prove that there is a God.
In my heart I spoke to Jesus to take care of this. I told the senior I can't do anything only Jesus can
She said she want to see. So I started praying for her.I knew that sometimes people fall when they are prayed over, presence of Jesus.. but did not expect it to happen when I prayed for someone
One night this senior came to us for prayer. I held her hand and began to pray. She suddenly fell over and couldn't get up.
I left it all to Jesus to reveal himself to her. Although I believe other need a miracle to believe in you
She got up and said she felt as if she was being held in front and back and laid me down.i said I did not touch you. I was only holding your hand.
She was convinced that there was something, some power. I am beginning to believe in your Jesus"
I am beginning to believe that you really speak to him and that he is there". I said I always knew he is there but good you also believe now.
Then we would pray for others also. Others in the hostel would wonder what we were up to
We would ask Jesus to send to us those in need of prayer.They would come into our room and explain their issue by which we knew they wanted prayer
We would tell them something about Jesus and then pray for them.They would start falling over during the prayer
sometimes three fell together... One day we were praying for one senior fell over
The two praying with me fell over. I thought no one was left to pray with me
I told Jesus there is no one left to pray for me. I wish there was someone. Then I also fell over.
I felt heavy and couldn't move. When I got up I was not hurt from the fall
When I got up I felt fresh again.Like that I would pray and ask Jesus to show himself to people
asking Jesus for everything. This is the truth about my life. I am shy and don't talk to anyone
But I made Jesus my best friend and would share everything with him. everything of my personal life, my parents, my college I would share with Jesus
24 hours I feel I am speaking to Jesus. From such a small town, how he found me and how he brought me to him. Now I giving my testimony
For me its a very big thing but for Jesus its a very small thing. He will continue to take me ahead in life﻿
