I am famously impatient - I want things to happen NOW! I was baptised in the holy spirit just over 4 weeks ago; I didn't feel anything but since that very moment have been able to speak in tongues. That alone should be evidence enough for me shouldn't it, but oh no I want to full caboodle - the lovely warm feeling, the just knowing that the Spirit is active in you. I don't want the falling on my knees bit, but just want some other evidence that it has really happened for me.
Why am I thinking this? I have real faith; I know God, Jesus & The Holy Spirit love me, I have faith that when I pray in this strange language I am getting right through to heaven, but why on earth do I want the other physical signs too? I almost feel when I'm praying something is blocking me; I was brought to tears on Friday but nothing since then.
Feelings are unreliable, I know that but why am I always so impatient for yet more signs that God loves me?
