It just happens that i prayed with 2 different ladies in the past couple of weeks who both make videos in youtube and they both made video testimonies about it. These 2 testimonies are among hundreds over the past several months where videos were not made but miracles were poured out by the Living God. The part where Robin gives this testimony is 1:40 - 3:56.

. I am happy to see this because i do welcome as many opportunities as possible to serve the LOrd by praying miracles for people and hopefully this opens additional doors. All glory to the Father, the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit for without surrendering my life to the them, none of this could ever have been possible. When we do surrender our lives to the Living God, all things genuinely do become possible and i believe anybody, through surrender, can encounter the Father in this way through His precious Son the Lord Jesus.
In John 14:13, the Lord Jesus says, "Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
The Lord Jesus said in Mark 16, "17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, ... they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Being baptized in the Holy Spirit is essential if we are to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and i pray that more will seek this life transforming event. John the baptist said, "I baptize with water but there is one coming after me whose sandals i am not worthy to untie... and He will baptize with the Holy Spirit and Fire".
Acts 1: 4 Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
... 8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
These disciples had to wait, but i believe today that most of the time, this baptism comes by taking the Kingdom of Heaven by force, actively seeking this Blessing and ideally through the prayers of somebody who has already received it. Nothing wrong with fasting in leading into it also, though this is not as essential as humility and hunger for more of HIM.
Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.
In this account and a couple of others in acts, tongues accompanied the baptism, but in other instances tongues was not mentioned and i have experienced many events in other people and in myself which i believe were baptisms in the Holy Spirit where tongues was not necessarily a part of it, even if tongues may sometimes (but not always) have come later or before. Sometimes people describe being filled with liquid love, or having 100 or 1000 times stronger love for God or having minutes or 24 strait hours of full body tingling (accompanied by an immense awareness of God's love for them), or new power by the Spirit to reject sin or other holy testimonies. Peace that passes all understanding and joy unspeakable very commonly accompany this experience as well. My 10 year old nephew had 3 visions when i prayed with him and he was receiving this baptism.
If anybody seeks prayer, or knows of anybody who needs physical or inner healing or a deliverance miracle in Jesus name or seeks holy blessings including the baptism in the Holy Spirit, i offer these prayers freely and it is a blessing to me to serve the body of Christ and anybody else in this way.
Blessings to all in the beautiful name of Jesus.
