Turned Into Another Man 3/17 Monday Meditation

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.
