This testimony is from my mission trip many years ago. I was in heavy financial debts, but I took the challenge to take part in the team ministering to a village church near the very top of Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.
One afternoon, I decided to take a walk to a waterfall. I stood on a rock right in front of the waterfall. With the roaring sound, I prayed in the unknown tongues with all my heart, soul and being. At that moment, my life problems disappeared from my mind. Suddenly, I found that the sound of the unknown tongues coming out from my lips synchronized with the roaring sound of the waterfall. I found myself being one with the trees and the sky. I was being one with God’s creation – and being one with God.
That evening, the anointing of God descended upon me so real and tangibly. The entire congregation was slain by the Holy Spirit. And this happened to an indigenous people whose traditional background says that falling backwards was an omen of death. I now know that when we fall by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are at one with the death of Christ. And when we rise-up from the floor, we are one with the resurrection of Christ.
