I will tell you up front that this blog post comes with a warning. If you are reading this while sitting amongst a group of people, please close this post and come back to it when you won't embarrass yourself because of excessive emotionalism. If your spirit is even remotely sensitive to the Holy Spirit, the following quote will cause what old time Pentecostals called a Holy Ghost runaway causing you to leap to your feet and display your joy and excitement.

I'll let you in on a secret only if you promise that you will tell the secret to everyone that will listen to you. I know that your mind is confused by that statement. If it is a secret, then why would I want you to tell people? Because, not knowing this truth has brought many Believers much confusion and even harm.
