Q. What one event would you say most shaped your walk with God?

A. That’s an easy question. On September 5, 1976, I went out on the volleyball court at First Baptist Church of Avondale Estates, Georgia, and asked Jesus to baptize me in the Holy Spirit. I had read about this experience in the book of Acts, and I had met several Southern Baptists who had prayed for it. So I decided to take the plunge myself. I wanted all God had for me!

My life was forever changed that night. I was already a Christian, but I had felt spiritually weak and powerless. That totally changed after I was filled with the Spirit. It was like I was electrocuted! God jolted me with His power and gave me a reservoir of His anointing. I suddenly had a strong hunger for the things of God. I wanted to pray, read my Bible and share my faith. And I received a supernatural prayer language that brought me close to the Lord.
