「我要求父，父就另外賜給你們一位保惠師，叫祂永遠與你們同在。」（約十四16）
哈利路亞 奉主耶穌聖名作見證
時至今日，我仍可清楚記得當日受聖靈的情況。雖然這難忘的一天已發生在多年以前，但在我腦海中，仍能活現主耶穌怎樣賜我聖靈的景象。
我自幼跟隨父母信主。參加宗教教育課，對我來說，是一個星期中最重要的一天。我對學習聖經的道理深感興趣，尤其是關於聖靈的講解。那時，我常常渴慕領受聖靈。可是，每次禱告的時候，我總是不能懇切祈求。直至後來，我才領悟，祈求聖靈一定要清心禱告。
在一九八０年的一個晚上，當我準備上床休息的時候，心中忽然想要禱告求聖靈，於是我就請一位弟兄在房間裡一起禱告。待跪下後，我就開始感覺一股極大的暖流臨到我身上，同時心裡亦感受到一種從未有過的喜樂。一道強光在我面前照耀。我的眼睛雖是閉著，但仍可看見這亮光漸漸地環繞著我整個人，並感到身體被提升至離開地面。我的舌頭竟開始捲動起來，說出一種不能明白的言語。我在心裡重覆唸著「哈利路亞」，直至禱告完畢。當我起來的時候，自己已是汗流滿面。我告訴身旁與我一起禱告的弟兄，或者我己領受聖靈了。
次日適逢安息日。在上午聚會時，我的禱告還是如昨晚一樣。有一位執事留意到我用靈言禱告，只是他並未向我加以細問。我將自己禱告的體驗告訴另一位執事。他就對我說，他會聽一聽我的禱告。第二天上午聚會時，多位執事就前來聽我禱告，他們其後均証實我已領受聖靈。感謝神賜我這應許的聖靈。
我深深感念神豐盛的恩典。自那天起，主繼續不斷在信仰上帶領我、扶持我。我應當竭力靠著聖靈而行，為主打完那美好的仗。
願一切榮耀、頌讚歸與我們的主耶穌基督，阿們！
How I Received the Holy Spirit
Bro John Leung

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever (Jn 14:16).
Hallelujah, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I testify.
Today, I can still remember very clearly the day I received the Holy Spirit. Although this memorable day happened many years ago, I can still picture it vividly in my mind how the Lord Jesus gave me the Holy Spirit.
I believed in the Lord through my parents from a very young age. Attending RE class was one of the highlights of the week for me. Learning the teachings of the Bible was intriguing, especially learning about the Holy Spirit. During that time, I had always wanted to receive the Holy Spirit but each time I prayed, I could never seem to be able to pray earnestly. It was only sometime later that I realised, in order to receive the Holy Spirit, I had to pray with a pure heart.
One evening in 1980, as I was about to go to bed, I suddenly had an inclination to pray for the Holy Spirit. I then asked a brother to pray with me in the room. As I knelt down to pray, I began to feel great warmth through my body, along with a profound sense of joy in my heart — a feeling I had never had before. A bright light then shone in front of me. I could see it, even though my eyes were closed, slowly surrounding my whole body. I felt I was being raised high up into the air. My tongue began to roll, uttering words that I could not understand. In my heart, I kept repeating the word “Hallelujah” until the end of the prayer. When I got up, my face was covered with sweat. I told the brother praying with me that perhaps I had received the Holy Spirit.
The next day was the Sabbath day. During the morning service, I was praying exactly the same way I had prayed the previous evening. A deacon noticed that I was praying in tongues but he did not ask me about it. I let another deacon know about my recent prayer experiences. He then told me that he needed to listen to me praying. The next morning during the service, several deacons came to hear me praying and they all confirmed that I had received the Holy Spirit. I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me the promised Holy Spirit.
I am immensely grateful to the Lord for His bountiful grace. Since that day, the Lord continues to guide and help me in my faith. I will always do my best to walk by the Holy Spirit so that I am able to fight the good fight for the Lord.
May all glory and praise be unto our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
