Praying Hyde

I read a book titled They Found the Secret, which contains the testimonies of 20 people whose lives were changed by God. The person whose life inspired me the most was John Hyde, a missionary to India in the early 20th century. While on his way to India, he prayed that he might be filled with the Holy Spirit and know by actual experience what Jesus meant when He said: "Ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." And God answered this prayer. He became known as "Praying Hyde". One time he prayed for evangelist Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. Chapman said, "I knew I was with God."
So..... I also have been asking God that I and other Christians I know would experience the power of the Spirit.
