1 Samuel 10:6 (NKJV) 6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit is not just a New Testament phenomenon. He has been a part of everything that has taken place since the beginning of time.<\/p>\n

He participated in creation. He has spoken to men through the generations. And He has been the changer of men\u2019s hearts for all of time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to share a little personal testimony today to demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit when it comes to changing the hearts of men.<\/p>\n

I put my faith in Christ when I was 18 years old. I knew nothing of God except a few tidbits that I had learned along the way through my childhood and teen years. And that didn\u2019t add up to very much.<\/p>\n

After I became a Christian, I began to change a little. But the progress was very slow.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t really much different than the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

But about 4 years later, something happened. And that event changed me drastically.<\/p>\n

I began to grow at breakneck speed. My heart began to change. My mind began to be renewed and transformed.<\/p>\n

The words out of my mouth began to change. My attitude changed. My actions changed. The ways of the world began to drop off me and I began to behave more like a child of God than a child of the evil one.<\/p>\n

God was changing me right before my very own eyes and the eyes of Pastor Ellie.<\/p>\n

But amid all this change, there is one event that stands out to me even now, almost 40 years later.<\/p>\n

I threw most of my records away.<\/p>\n

You see, I absolutely love music. And back in the day, I was a huge fan of many secular rock bands. I had a stack of records that was literally up to my knees or higher. Hundreds of albums.<\/p>\n

And one day God put it on my heart to gather most of them up and throw them away, literally.<\/p>\n

So, I went through them all. I stacked them up and put them in paper grocery bags. Then I took them to the landfill to dispose of them forever.<\/p>\n

This season that I was in was a major turning point in my life where I began to take my walk with God seriously. And it showed outwardly in so many ways.<\/p>\n

What was the cause of this drastic change?<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit (the Spirit of the Lord) had come upon me.<\/p>\n

He changed my heart. He changed my desires. He changed just about everything about me.<\/p>\n

And I never looked back.<\/p>\n

Jesus saved me. He made me a new creation when He forgave me and redeemed me from my sins.<\/p>\n

It was my encounter with the Holy Spirit, 4 years later, that caused me to break free from those things that still had a grip on me.<\/p>\n

1 Samuel 10:9 (NKJV) 9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ignore the power of the Holy Spirit. Let Him touch you. Let Him give you a new heart, that God may be able to bring \u201cthose signs\u201d to pass in your life.<\/p>\n
