A group of us were staying at a hotel in Vancouver, B.C. We were standing around in the foyer one evening and one of us started a conversation with the front office clerk who was standing nearby. He asked the clerk (Frank) out of the blue if he went to church. The conversation grew rapidly to the point where very soon we were all gathered in the breakfast room, praying for Frank to receive the Holy Spirit anointing. We believe he did as we heard him praying in tongues briefly, but he was so overwhelmed and crying that we didn’t get to pray anymore with him.

Praise God for the confidence He gives us to approach people and ask bold questions! Our brother in the Lord simply asked Frank if he was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit yet. Frank’s answer was “no.” The brother then asked (with confidence and expectation) Frank if he would like to go and pray for the Spirit right now. Frank’s answer was “yes,” without any hesitation. It was almost as though the brother’s faith (that the outcome would be positive) moved upon Frank’s heart to respond with enthusiasm. We don’t fully know how the Spirit works, but we do know it’s an invisible force and we have to believe that when we exercise the gifts of the Spirit (one of them being faith), that invisible force will have an affect on others as well as on our own selves.
