What Happens When The Holy Spirit Touches You?

If you have arrived here, then the question of what happens when the Holy Spirit touches you is what has brought you here and like most, you want to know the answer, which is what this post today will give you.

Many things happen when the Holy Spirit touches someone and this article will look at the 10 major things that will happen when God’s Spirit touches you.

Without wasting your time, let’s answer the question we have today of what happens when the Holy Spirit touches you by looking at the 10 manifestations that you will have in your life as you become spirit filled.

10 Signs God’s Spirit Has Touched You.

Below are the 10 things that will manifest in your life if you receive the touch and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

  • Your Christian Faith Strengthens.
  • You Speak In Tongues.
  • Your Prayer Life Gets Stronger.
  • You Become A Fruitful Christian.
  • You Become More Sensitive To Sin.
  • You Will See The Need For A Saviour.
  • God’s Closeness In Your Life.
  • Get Filled With Inner Peace.
  • Have A New Heart.
  • You Will Receive Power.

1. Your Christian Faith Strengthens.

One of the things that happen when the Holy Spirit touches you or comes into your life is that your Christian faith if you are a believer will be stronger.

This can be seen in Acts 4:31 in the New Testament where when the apostles were filled with the Holy Ghost they became stronger in their faith despite many persecutions at the time, which is, why they were able to speak with boldness.

In like manner, if God’s Spirit comes upon your life, you will become stronger in your faith so that you won’t give up when things get hard on your Christian journey.

2. You Speak In Tongues.

Another thing that happens when the Holy Spirit touches you is that you will also speak in tongues that will come with utterance in most cases though not all the time as we see in Acts 2:4.

Now, you must understand that speaking in tongues isn’t always the manifestation of the Holy Spirit because anyone can speak gibberish words including unsaved sinners.

The tongues we are talking about here are the tongues that will be as a result of being filled with the Holy Ghost if you are a true believer. Most people try faking speaking in tongues even when they are living in sin thinking that they are spirit-filled but they are just lying to themselves.

3. Your Prayer Life Gets Stronger.

Having a strong prayer life is very important in your Christian life if you are a believer because you are involved in a spiritual battle where prayer is required to pull down the mighty strongholds of Satan.

This is why our Lord Jesus Christ told us in Luke 22:46 that we must pray so that we don’t fall into temptation. When you become filled with the Holy Spirit, your prayer life will become stronger and more enjoyable. Prating for more than an hour will no longer be an issue.

Implying that prayer isn’t something you will see as a burden and if you are struggling with weak prayer life, all you need is the Holy Ghost in your life to activate your prayer life as, without Him, you won’t be able to overcome Satan’s temptations which are everywhere.

4. You Become A Fruitful Christian.

You will also become a fruitful Christian or believer in Christ Jesus if you get the touch of the Holy Spirit in your life just as Colossians 1:10 encourages all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to be.

This means that you are going to bear good fruits in God’s kingdom just like a tree planted on good soil and by the riverside. Soul winning will now become easier for you to do if you become a spirit-filled believer.

However, if you don’t have the touch of the Holy Spirit yet, you will find it difficult to be a fruitful Christian which is why soul winning or bearing good works from the Lord will be something that will be out of reach to you.

5. You Become More Sensitive To Sin.

If you are filled with God’s Spirit, you will also become sensitive to sin as you will know that sin grieves the Holy Spirit which is why you will want to avoid it at all costs (Ephesians 4:30).

But if you don’t have the touch of the Holy Spirit yet in your life, you will be insensitive to sin which is why you will see no problem in doing or practicing certain things God considers sinful as you are insensitive to His Spirit.

The Holy Spirit makes you sensitive to sin because He’s the one who’s responsible for convicting you when you sin or try to enter into sin but if He’s absent, you won’t have that conviction which is why you will sin at will if you are not spirit-filled due to your carnal sinful nature.

6. You Will See The Need For A Saviour.

One the Holy Spirit touches you especially if you are a sinner is that you will see the need for a savior, Jesus Christ, in your life due to your sinfulness that you will now be aware of.

This need for a savior you are going to feel will be a result of the Holy Spirit convicting you of your sins prompting you into repentance so that your sins can be forgiven thereby making you receive salvation and eternal life Jesus promises to all those who believe Him.

We can see this happening in Acts 16:30 when Peter preached repentance to the crowd in that verse where people were convicted causing them to ask Peter what they must do to be saved.

7. God’s Closeness In Your Life.

You feel a closeness to God that you haven’t felt in a long time. He will seem right there with you, filling up every corner of your spirit with His presence and love. It’s this closeness that will make you fear no evil (Psalms 23:1-6).

Joy and peace will also be in your life if His presence is in your life due to the presence of His Spirit as God’s Spirit brings peace, joy, and happiness in one’s life.

But if the Holy Spirit isn’t in your life, you won’t feel God’s closeness and presence in your life as God’s presence can only be in your life if His Spirit is present in your life as well.

8. Get Filled With Inner Peace.

Inner peace Jesus Christ promises in John 14:27 will also fill your inner soul if you receive the touch of the Holy Spirit in your life.

And this inner peace you will have in Christ is what will enable you to be peaceful in all situations whether good or bad not just when the seas are calm in your life.

On the other hand, if you are not spirit-filled yet, you won’t have this peace from heaven above that can satisfy your human soul.

9. Have A New Heart.

You will also have a new heart of flesh the Lord promises in Ezekiel 36:26 and it’s this new heart that will bring about the new nature.

If you have not been touched by God’s Spirit yet, you will still have that stony sinful heart you were born with that makes you naturally prideful, sinful, rebellious, and stubborn.

Nevertheless, when you receive the touch of the Holy Spirt at salvation, this stony sinful heart is gotten rid of and replaced with a new heart of flesh that is Christ-like in nature.

10. You Will Receive Power.

Last but not least is that when the Holy Spirit touches you, you will receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you as Acts 1:8 tells us.

When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, it is not just a feeling or an experience. It is a power that comes into your life and you feel it in your spirit, soul, and body.

It’s this power from heaven above that will enable you to be fruitful in your spiritual life and do great exploits in the kingdom of God.
