I just wanted to write this... I can't even believe it. I've had battles with inappropriate contentography day and night. I would search the Lord in the secret, but I just didn't have victory over the sin that had me in bondage. I read the Word and I prayed and I fasted and I still didn't have a change, I didn't have a breakthrough, I knew I needed something more. For the past year, God awoke a desire in my heart to search Him with all of my heart and for over a year I've desired God to Baptize me in his Holy Spirit. I couldn't go a week without falling back again and again. I would listen preaching after preaching, I needed an answer. I'm a 16 year old who was fighting the struggle of inappropriate contentography for over 5 years already and needed victory. Even though I've almost lost all hope, God was faithful and He wasn't done with me. I went to a retreat this year and God really shook and transformed me from the inside out with Fire and Authority. There was an Altar call to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and God filled the whole place with his presence and the youth there were getting Baptized in the Holy Spirit and well I was baptized too! I felt like my hands were burning and my whole body was burning, but it wasn't agonizing, it was peaceful, but powerful. He told me that it wouldn't be me anymore, but His Spirit in me! And there was a powerful move of God that I've never seen before in my entire life that day and is still happening to this day! But it's been a month and a half that I haven't even had the desire to go back to the sin of inappropriate contentography! And I can, but I can't believe it! I've sometimes forgotten that I ever struggled with that sin! But I just want to encourage anyone, even as young as me, that struggled with that sin, that you need the power of the Holy Spirit to help you triumph over those desires! There is no other way than the empowerment of His Spirit! And after, the enemy will try to remind you and try to lead you back, but you will have power to say no!!! And if you don't know if you've been baptized, trust me, you haven't. You will know and other people will know. And I just wanted to put this here in this section of the forums for those who've lost faith in a Supernatural God and in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It's still happening and trust me you can get it too!!! YOU CAN GET IT TOO!!! I've always used to believe that there was something wrong with me because I didn't get it for the longest time, I lost hope that it was even real or that I could ever get it. JUST FAST AND PRAY AND IT WILL COME SOON! Someone might even need to pray over you to receive it even if it takes a whole lot of prayer or it'll happen during prayer or worship. Just don't get discouraged! I can't stress it enough, you can get it too.
Oh PS: I wasn't baptized in water yet when I got the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. So don't get discouraged by anything!
