: Holy Ghost stories for the soul has been written to inspire a new generation to seek and tarry for the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in unknown tongues. The author recalls times when men and women were baptized in the Holy Ghost, healed, danced in the spirit, and spoke in tongues. It draws a line in the sand showing that the Baptism in the Holy Ghost and the Spirit of God sweeping over congregations making them feel good are two separate experiences. The writer also speaks of a new move, an experience beyond the infilling of the Holy Ghost; just as the Holy Ghost is a step beyond simple salvation. God has promised the Latter Rain or a Baptism in Spiritual Fire.
