Nearly a year later, I went to the PlanetShakers conference in Brisbane. There was music and lights and speakers and the youth group was staying in a hotel so it was all very exciting. On the second last night of the Christian conference, Reinhard Bonkey spoke to the crowd of 6,000. There was this anticipation of what I had heard about him. It was said that he was amazing. Converting 1 million Muslims to Christianity in Africa in the one, open-aired arena. There was this anticipation.

“The flame of the Holy Ghost is going to come down here tonight. Well, lets get started. The way…that you get the Holy Ghost to come down on a crowd like us…is to call on it. Raise your hands…don’t worry about your mates next to you **I was very worried** and shout ‘Hallelujah.’ ”

So that’s how it started. People in front of me, people behind me, next to me, above me, below me, everyone in the arena started shouting “Hallelujah” with all of their might. The effect was immediate. Down came the Holy Spirit. It poured down on us. It was absolutely crazy. Then it happened again. I started crying. And again, it was the best feeling, all of my sins being washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ. Absolutely amazing feeling. I was sobbing the hardest I ever have in my life. The only words I said were “Hallelujah” and “Thank You Lord.”

So there I was, in a mosh pit with 6,000 people, both arms above my head, saying only three words, “Hallelujah, Thank you Lord”, bawling my eyes out and feeling the best. The power of the Holy Spirit is ABSOLUTELY MAD! Absolutely, incredibly, amazingly flippen awesome!
