Yes the Holy Spirit/Ghost are the same being, just because someone doesn't speak in tongues and have asked for that gift doesn't mean they're not filled with the Holy Spirit/Ghost. They're are many gifts of the Spirit to give evidence of HIS presence.
I'm going to give a testimony here about the day I got saved and the Lord snatched me up and body slammed me into salvation and put the big whammy on me. I was totally ignorant of God anything/everything. I had been raised to believe in reincarnation, tarot cards, runes, palm readers, curses, you name it.....I was involved in it. Man I was going straight to hell. Didn't care to hear anything about God, since I had an evil stepmother that beat me everyday and called me every vulgar name she could think of.....but Oh she read her bible everyday. Kind of turn me against God for a very long time, though when I look back, HE was always there.
There was a situation in my home at the time that involved our daughter and it broke my big burly husband Bear down. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate cause I'm sure there's people here that know the one thing that can break a man when you simply can't protect your baby girl from all predators, especially one you worked with for years. Enough of that.....but this wasn't the only thing my brother-in-law committed suicide.....but it came down to when I was reading this book Divine Revelations of Hell by Mary Baxter that someone gave me.
I remember trying to comfort my sister and when I went to bed, I was reading that book and I started thinking this is something I've seen in some horror movie and laughed and as I turned the page.....it said that exact phrase that just came out of my mouth. Hummmmm well that diffinately got my attention, and I have to confess it shook me up pretty good for some reason, but as I continued to read, I got real scared for some reason....I mean bone shaking scare! I immediately got out of bed and got down on my knees and said God I don't want to go to hell. Well that was the end of that but I felt a change in me I couldn't comprehend. Well I flew back home after the funeral, my husband was falling apart and I became very fearful of/for him...He's a big man, (6'4" 290 lbs.) I mean bigggggggggg. And no he's never laid a hand on me, but it was a person I no longer knew walking around in my big teddy bear's body, and he was having violent nightmares, and had to jump out ot the bed a couple of times when he went to swinging, pressing myself up against the wall screaming don't hit me, don't hit me until he came out of it.
Anyway I fled to a friends home and decided to go to church with her, cause the week before I went to this little church of God and this sweet women prayed with me with her hands so gentle on mine, but whatever she prayed on me grabbed ahold of me all week. I felt like God had tied this big knot in the rope and I had ahold of it and HE threw me out into the ocean and said hang on.....whew what a storm! But I held on, and all week I was like that up until going to church with my friends that following Sunday. Now of course I'm sitting all the way in the back of this church so I can be the first one out......anybody else done that? Anyway this Pastor is talking and I'm squirming and thinking Oh God if I die now I'm going straight to hell, and I became very fearful.
So of course at the end he's asking those if you feel God is calling you down here for forgiveness come on down. Well, I shot up and pushed Tammi and Tommi back and said that's me you guys, that's me. And as soon as step out into the isle this river starting running through me of all mercy, all grace, all love like nothing I have ever experienced and my body broke out in such a tremble I could hardly walk down cause this river was running through me. As I got down on my knees I was just sobbing, and this man came up to me and ask me if I would like to accept the Lord Jesus as my Savior. And I got to say I wanted it so bad, more than life for some reason, and he walked me through the sinners prayer and I accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Then he proceeded to ask me if I would like to recieve/accept the Holy Spirit and I didn't quite know what he meant but I knew I wanted it more than the next heart beat I had, and I said yes with every fiber of my being! And then he asked me if I accept prayer language and again I wasn't sure what he meant completely but again I knew I wanted it more than the next breath I took in and again I said yes. He then stood up and said speak your prayer language, and I looked up and said I can't. And he said honey that's ok it will come to you. And as soon as he said that this language came out of my mouth and I couldn't even stop it to speak english, and my friends came up and I had to fight to say a few words of what is happening to me. And they told me you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit, and I said what I'm I saying (fighting to speak it) and Tammi told me this is not my gift to interpet. Then this man was hopping around all excited and said I know what language she's speaking, I know this language I'm from the Holy Lands from Jordan and I know this language.
Are you ready? "She's speaking hebrew". I fought to say I don't know hebrew, and then it dawned on me, I'm speaking the language of Jesus. Honey my face hit that floor and all I could do was cry and thank my Jesus that he loved me and I loved HIM. This poor excuse of a human being was now a child of the most high King, and HE loved me like no other. This language stayed on me for 3 hours it would not stop. And when I went to the Pastor's house of the church I went to with that little lady praying for me? Well that was and is now my Pastor and his wife. I went to his house and I had to fight to keep my face off the floor just for being so thankful HE loved me, forgave me, cleansed me with forgiveness, and the language was still coming non stop. HE had instantly delivered me from alcoholism, drug addiction, pronography, cursing, occult, practices of occult, reincarnation belief, etc.etc. I was the most disgusting human being on the face of this earth and HE loved me.
But the whole time of this prayer language I felt like a computer having information downloaded in me of things I didn't understand. So when I was at this Pastor's house and he took me into his kitchen and there sat that sweet little women who had so lovingly covered my hands with hers....his wife. I couldn't stop rocking and crying of the pure love that had incased me, surrounded me like a bubble of pure love like I've never in my life felt from any human being on earth. A love that earth words can't even begin to discribe it's pureness. And I told him that there's these things going through my head and I feel like I'm being downloaded into. So now my Pastor asked me try to tell me what you are hearing. And when I opened my mouth to speak all of a sudden now in english these words were flowing so fast. and then all of a sudden my Pastor is flipping through the pages and it dawns on him that I'm quoting scriptures out of the bible chapter by chapters I had never read.
Needless to say I have not been to same since, HE rescued me from the pits of hell with HIS love. And I knew instantly what honored HIM and what dishonor HIM.
Now here's my point......"Whewwww sorry guys went down some rabbit holes to finally get here!" I knew nothing of the bible, yet HE had me speaking hebrew & at times utterance. But I have to say this language doesn't come to me out of the blue to speak, and some may think this is funny, but I can't even begin to mimic it, it just wont come to my mind or tongue. The ONLY time it happens if I'm praying, singing to HIM, giving thanks, worshipping HIM, praying for others, the laying on of hands, rejoicing, or when the Lord has beckoned me to start praying for some unknown reason to me and until later when God reveals it. Now I've never heard hebrew before, I couldn't even tell you what it sounded like, and still can't because it only comes to me in those times as I mentioned before.
Anyway that's it.....thanks!
Kudos HIM
