Becoming a TRUE believer of Jesus Christ.

I, Alyssa Marie Hornsby was born on May 8, 1997. In Lexington, Kentucky a follower of Christ was born! My parents brought me up in a Baptist church, and always told me and my siblings, "unless someone is sick or in the hospital, we will not miss one service of church." I grew up with a love for God! I always felt as if I was missing something but never knew what it was until the day came. My family and I moved to Taylorsville, Ky in 2009. A year came to pass when my family was invited to church by members of House of Prayer Apostolic Church. I felt like this was what I was waiting for, and it was. I knew that when I walked in those doors it would be much, much different then any other church I had attended. My life felt almost complete, but not yet. The church was loving and full of a wonderful and unexplainable spirit! In the month of March my dad and I were baptized in Jesus Name and my dad was filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I thought to myself one day after my baptism, " why was it when I was baptized, I didn't speak in other tongues?"  I looked at many different verses. One of them I looked at was Acts 2: 38 "  Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. " I came to a conclusion, I didn't repent of my sins fully. I still had guilt and sorrow from my past experiences. Two months went by, and I was praying on the side my bed, I prayed for forgiveness of all my sins and that I will not do any of those sins again. The next thing I know the Holy Ghost poured out on me. I began to speak in tongues and gave praises to God. I thought to myself the next day about what had really happened, then I realized I spoke in tongues. The word began to spread and it was amazing!! I then felt my life was slowly coming together better then before! I was speaking in tongue almost every service and was quickly understanding more and more as the days went by. I began to tell my friends and they thought I was " weird", but no I am not weird. I am just ME! : ]
