So I went to the home of the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle and knocked on his door. The pastor and the visiting evangelist answered the door together. I told the pastor I wanted to be filled with the Holy Ghost. He replied, "Brother Kenneth, we're in revival right now with this evangelist. Why don't you wait until after the service is over tonight and seek the Holy Ghost at the altar?"

It was already 6:00 in the evening, and the revival service was going to start at 7:30. But I responded, "It won't take me very long to receive."

I went into the living room and knelt by a large chair. The pastor and the evangelist didn't tell me to do it; I just had an inner urge to do it. I could hear the sound of the two men's voices, but I don't know one word they said. I just shut my ears to all outside noise. Then I remembered that when I got healed, I had lifted my hands. So I closed my eyes, lifted up my hands, and started praying.

I said, "Now, Lord, I've come here to receive the Holy Ghost." I told the Lord again in prayer what the denominational pastors said, what the Pentecostal people said, and what the Bible says in Acts 2. Then I said, "By faith I was born again, and by faith I received healing. Now by faith I receive the Holy Ghost!

"I want to thank You, Heavenly Father, because I am now filled with the Holy Ghost. And now I expect to speak with other tongues as the Holy Ghost gives me utterance, and I'm not going to be satisfied until I do! I expect to speak with tongues just like the believers did on the Day of Pentecost and just as they did throughout the Book of Acts." Then I quoted to Him all the Bible evidence on speaking in tongues.

I continued, "Praise God, the Holy Spirit will give me utterance, and I'll speak with tongues and thank You for it!" Then I said, "Hallelujah" about eight or 10 times, never feeling so dry and dead in all my life. In fact, it seemed like I almost choked on those "hallelujahs." After all, we weren't used to saying that word in the church where I was raised! But I didn't stop just because I didn't feel anything.

To tell you the truth about the matter, I've never had much patience with folks who say, "Well, I don't feel anything, so I guess it isn't working for me." What do feelings have to do with anything!

What if someone gave you a cashier's check for a million dollars? Would you say, "No, no, I just don't feel like receiving this check. I don't feel like it will work if I try to cash it." Your feelings haven't a thing in the world to do with the validity of that cashier's check. It's the authority behind the cashier's check that counts!

Did you ever read in the Bible where it says, "We walk by feelings"? No, I guarantee that you never did read that. But you can read where it says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight"(2 Cor. 5:7). That means we walk by faith in what God has said in His Word!

So even though I never felt a thing as I said my "hallelujahs"— even though I never felt more dry in my whole

life—I just kept thanking God for the Holy Ghost and for giving me utterance in tongues.

Now, I know everyone has his or her own experience in regard to receiving the Holy Ghost. Many have no supernatural manifestation at all other than the common experience of speaking with other tongues. I've had more than one preacher tell me that they were at the altar praying with their eyes shut when it seemed like the roof of the church came off and a huge ball of fire came down and burst over their heads—and they started speaking in tongues. I even heard someone say he saw a beam of light come down through the ceiling and strike him in his eyes—and at that moment, he started speaking in tongues.

Well, I never saw a beam of light or a ball of fire, but I'll tell you what did happen to me. Even though I had my eyes shut, suddenly it seemed like someone was building a blazing bonfire down on the inside of me. Well, I didn't know what to expect, so I prayed, "Lord, if that burning doesn't stop, I'm going to have to quit!"

Then it was as if I could see strange words boiling up inside. It seemed to me that I'd know what those words were if I just started speaking them out. So I did, and tongues just flowed out of me!

I opened my eyes and looked at my watch. (After all, the Bible says to watch and pray!) It was eight minutes past 6:00. I'd only been kneeling there in the Full Gospel pastor's home for eight minutes! But I kept on speaking with other tongues for an hour and a half and sang three songs in tongues. Oh, I could have quit if I had wanted to—but I didn't want to!

It doesn't take long to receive the Holy Ghost when you take God at His Word!
