although as an individual/cong/body of elders holy spirirt was prayed for, i cannot think of one moment when i thought..right now i have gods spirit acting upon me.

it was never described adequately for me to completely understand and i suspect that others felt the same, yet everyone talked as though they knew exactly how it worked.

Who said they went all lubby bubby christian?????

lol, Loubelle!

I was born and lived life depressed, I had depression in hereditry and life problems. But when I recieved confirmation the holy spirit helped me out of my dark hole. At the time I didn't think much of god or knew him very well either.

But something was guiding me, the holy spirit made come to the realisation of god. I prayed to him and he drew close to me, since then my life has been going up hill. I wasn't aware of my depression at the time either, but I sat down one night and felt the need to let out my feelings, so I wrote a poem titled "Falling Kingdom" and I drew a picture of how I felt as well. It was a picture of me, I was very small and I was lost in a fog.

The next day I don't know why but I took the poem and picture and showed the counsellor. The counsellor by seeing the picture and reading the poem understood how I felt and knew that I needed help. She didn't understand what made me come to see her. She asked "did a friend told you to see me or did your parents tell you to see me?" I replied no to both of them and she said "Its unusual for not many people go to the counsellor volinaraly at your age" I was led there by the holy spirit. I wasn't very conscious on what i was doing at the time, something just led me there.

The school counsellor led me to the youth counsellor and the youth counsellor took me to the proffesional counsellor.

What I benefited from by these counselling appointments was I became aware of my depression. It helped a great deal to gain understanding on it.

But what helped me overcome my depression though was Gods love. I knew more and more about him. I looked at websites about him one was www.growinginchrist.com I looked at heaps!

Through My depression I grew spiritually stronger and I've become a better person!

There have been other situations when I was guided by the holy spirit.

The holy spirit never leaves you!

And to all those who posted stuff about the good and bad stuff that happens in life have a look at hebrews chapter 12

Do any of you ex-jw's think that maybe it was the holy spirit that guided you out of the organisation?

Sure It would of caused a lot of pain, but God is willing to help you with your burdens and pain for you are all his precious children.

Through adversity we can triumph.
