The Holy Spirit makes all things new

In the previous story, we told you how the Holy Spirit suddenly came crashing in on us. Here you can find a few more personal reports of what people have experienced with Him:

 

You can't do that

One evening in the prayer house, someone suddenly shouts out loud: “That's not possible! You can't do that! You simply can't do that! I am a new person! I am a new person!!! You really can't do that!!! ... I think I need something sweet for now.”
Later he tells the whole story:
“Two weeks ago I prayed, 'Holy Spirit, cleanse and purify me. I surrender.' A few days later, I realized that I wanted to do a lot of things myself, that I was religious. And now the Holy Spirit came: My brain and my heart were blown up. Boom!!! I had a revelation from the cross like I'd never had before. At the cross Jesus bought everything, but he also bought me to be new. The revelation was so deep!!! I didn't know what to do. I would have loved to jump through the streets and shout for joy: 'I am new! I am new!”

 

Every curse has been broken

I knew I wasn't free. I didn't know exactly what it was, but I realized it was connected to my family. That there were still ties. Of course, I had already loosed myself and prayed and everything else. But something was still there. I didn't know what to do anymore.
And now the Holy Spirit comes so sovereignly! One morning in the prayer house, he spoke to me over the cross: “Every curse is broken!” and then “Every curse of witchcraft over your family is broken!” Without anyone laying hands on me or praying, my body suddenly begins to shake strongly. Until I hear the voice of the Holy Spirit again: “It is done!” I immediately become very calm and know that something essential has happened. I feel completely different. Released. Free!
Since then, I have experienced release after release - even from things I have struggled with for years. Obviously, this experience removed a blockage that had prevented other breakthroughs until then.

 

Free from the quiet spirit

I laugh, shout, cheer. Suddenly the Holy Spirit says to me: “I'm freeing you from a 'quite spirit'.” Especially in recent years, I have often struggled with insecurity and fear of man and have withdrawn because of my fear of “offending”. I ask God for forgiveness for fearing people more than Him. I have to cough and feel 'something' go out of me. Since then, I have been able to let the Holy Spirit work through me as He wants, even if it is sometimes wild and loud.

 

Deliverance by cell phone

Someone sent me a message on my cell phone: “Every spirit of fear, intimidation and insecurity be broken over you now in Jesus' name!” At first I was surprised because I wasn't even aware that I was dealing with something like this. I prayed, “Jesus, I receive this from you.”
Nothing tangible happened at that moment. But in the days that followed, I noticed that I reacted more freely and openly in certain situations. I realized that I had been under this spirit and that it was really gone now. It's fascinating, just like Jesus back then. He also healed and liberated people over long distances.

 

Do no more

I have been holding out my needs and disagreements to God in the prayer house during these times, with the desire to please intervene and finally change something. And suddenly the beam of God's light shines on the really sore spot in my life - somewhere completely different to where I would have placed it myself: He convicts me of the yoke of performance. Doing, doing, doing - all for Jesus. Above all, it is very exhausting to always be the diligent, the orderly, the good one. And at the same time, I'm falling apart under this performance yoke. I wanted to do everything, help people, organize everything, have my say everywhere. There wasn't much left for the Holy Spirit to do. I asked him for forgiveness and am now free! Wonderful! Now God often says to me: “Stay out of it, keep your hands off it. I want to do this.”
