I can’t speak for everyone, but I can certainly tell you from my own life that I didn’t begin to see the tangible effects of the Holy Spirit in my life until I was confronted with that big scary Jordan River moment. You will never fully know God’s word is true unless you allow Him to show you it is. You’ll only ever be standing on the edge wondering if you should put your toe in the Jordan River, and never actually stepping in to see God stop the water.
