Physical heat sometimes accompanies the filling of the Spirit and people experience it in their hands or some other part of their bodies. One person described a feeling of 'glowing all over'. Another said she experienced 'liquid heat'. Still another described 'burning in my arms when I was not hot'.

It doesn't really matter so much what the words are I don't think - maybe if you're a real expert in prayer you could do it through silence. But I think sometimes it helps to express it and to know you're expressing it to God. Paul talked about praying with your spirit and that's basically what it is, it's expressing what you feel deep down in a language which God gives you.

It is only when we understand the transcendence of God that we see how amazing his immanence is, and what a huge privilege it is to be able to enjoy God's intimate friendship.

Too often we try to use God to change our circumstance, when God is trying to use our circumstance to change us.

The resurrection of Jesus is rooted in history, grounded in scripture and confirmed in experience.

If the grass looks greener on the other side, it is probably astroturf.

Personally I think people's labels are terribly unhelpful because they enable you to dismiss things.
