I remember twenty-two years ago when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:4. I sent home a wire (the post office was opposite my house), that I had received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was speaking in other tongues. The news ran like fire -- everybody seemed to know. When I arrived home my wife said to me, "So you have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and are speaking in tongues?" She said, "I want you to know I am baptized as much as you." Right in my house the war began. She said, "For twenty years I have been the preacher." (I could not preach; I have tried many a time.) Preachers are God-made men... My wife said, "Next Sunday you go on the platform yourself -- and I'll see if there is anything in it." I had been under great pressure what I was to speak about, and as I went on to the platform Jesus said the me, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon [thee]..." (Luke 4:18).I don't know what I said -- but my wife -- she got up -- she sat down -- she got up -- she sat down -- she said, "That is not my husband."
No man can be filled with the Holy Ghost and be the same man. He is turned into another man.
