Table of contents
We have not always seen eye to eye, particularly in matters of established church rules such as dress codes, which I found to have no biblical basis. However, as far as theological dogma was concerned, I never questioned the cessational point of view on the Holy Spirit and His miracle gifts. In my world, there were these three major Christian denominations — Baptists, Pentecostals, Charismatics — and I was proud of being a Baptist.
Thankfully and by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit was working in my heart. The Lord led me through circumstances that were slowly changing the above worldview. My husband and I left the church we grew up in after a series of events left us with no other choice. So we became members of another local Slavic church Grace Family Church while simultaneously attending a nondenominational American church Bridgeway Christian Church.
We loved the in-depth expository teaching at Bridgeway, and we loved the transparency of the Bridgeway pastors. However, we continued to attend the Slavic church. I continued watching Bridgeway sermons online. The final push to leave Grace Family Church was when its senior pastor was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. The news was all over Sacramento. Throughout the entire ordeal he maintained his innocence and he continues to function in his senior pastor role to this day. However, the facts proved otherwise. As a result, we became more open to the possibility of becoming members at an American church.

I am in no way saying that the problem lies in Slavic churches, but that the issues we were seeing in the churches we were a part of were severe enough for us to be open to an idea of God leading us to an American church. We also became more critical of teachings heard from the church pulpits. As you can hopefully see by now, our decision to leave the Slavic churches was not taken lightly. More importantly, we would have most likely remained in the Slavic churches had the pastors of those churches been repentant of their sin. Unfortunately, this was not the case in both of the above circumstances.

Unfortunately, politics and the love for authority and power took over. Unfortunately, we see the same kind of issues in many churches. This is partly why I was led to expose these kind of issues in the Slavic community in some of my previous posts. They see religion and all the dirty stuff associated with it — politics, power, control, etc.
In hindsight, I can see that had I known what I know now about spiritual warfare, I would pray more for the pastors. Had I known then what I know now about how the enemy works, attacking those who are at the frontlines of the spiritual battle, I would most likely intercede more on behalf of the church leaders, praying for protection against the enemy attacks.
Would I have discovered the amazing functions of the Holy Spirit that are overlooked by those who teach cessationism? By the time we started to regularly attend Bridgeway, I was desperate to know God more. The hunger for His Word was intense.
I read the Bible daily with a new-found passion. I prayed, repenting for all the times I have been living a life of religion, misrepresenting my Jesus and what He had done for me. The Holy Spirit was working in my heart and preparing me for a day I will never forget.

We were on a much needed getaway in the mountains. My sister and her husband who was born in a Pentecostal family were vacationing with us. Shortly after that fateful day, our senior pastor led a 6-week course on the Holy Spirit and the miracle gifts. I was beyond excited to learn that He had sent the Holy Spirit to enable us, his body of believers to advance His Kingdom on earth.
Yes, the Holy Spirit has many functions — to comfort, to convict, to bring people to the knowledge of God, etc. These are very important functions. However, I was realizing that my erroneous view that the miracle gifts have ceased put a limit on how God could work and move through me. As a mother, I started to pray for my children to be healed every time they got sick. As a daughter, I prayed for my mom to be healed when her back pain was severe.
As a sister, I prayed for my brother to be healed from a disability that affected his entire life from the time he was born.

That is how the Lord led me to be on a prayer team at Bridgeway. I was convicted of not following through with the Great Commision Jesus had given us prior to ascending to heaven Mark During praying with two prayer team members, not only did the Lord strengthen me, but He also confirmed that I was on the right track.
I was also invited to be on the prayer team. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age. It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.
On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him.
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. Gospel of Luke And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say unto you, unless you be born again of the water and the Spirit, you cannot enter into the kingdom of God" Gospel of John On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water [Ezekiel ]. Gospel of John Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment.
He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join this chariot. And while Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you. Rise and go down, and accompany them without hesitation; for I have sent them.
If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
