"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"ABBA! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB! ABB!
"I believe! I believe! I believe!"
-----------------------------------------
"It's true! It's true!
"The Trinity is true! Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is true!"
"No! My blood pressure is fine! I'm alright."
"I woke up late feeling great, didn't have any appointment, began praising the Lord in song and dance, followed by my morning prayer and exercise on the rowing machine. I went downstairs and ate breakfast alone because Vangie left early for a home inspection . I was about to take a shower when I realized that I forgot to write something in my spiritual journal. I sat down at the foot of the bed facing the altar in our master's bedroom, writing and asking the Lord to give me the spiritual gift of tongue. Then, I grabbed the Holy Bible on top of the dresser next to me, opened it randomly to the Gospel of St. John, read the first line and felt the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in my heart. I opened my mouth to praise the Father by saying, 'ABBA!' All of a sudden, my tongue began rolling the syllables uncontrollably and getting louder and louder until I was already shouting. I started trembling with fear because I wanted to hold my tongue and stop, but I couldn't. And so, I thought of Jesus and saw a picture of Him in my head, while praising 'ABBA' repeatedly with my tongue and feeling the warmth of the Holy Spirit in my heart, at the same time. Finally, I broke down in tears and fell on my knees uttering, 'I believe! I believe! I believe!' And then, somehow, you were the first person that came to mind (maybe because you didn't believe in the Trinity), so I ran downstairs to call and tell you that the Trinity is true!"
"No way--it can't possibly come from the devil! It's the Lord!"
