The famous actor and director Denzel Washington often says that he was “filled with the Holy Spirit” when he was a young man at his mother’s beauty salon.
He testifies that he literally felt God say:
“I’ve got you. I’ve got your back.”
Since then, he has used his fame to encourage others to stay close to God, read the Word daily, and pray before every decision.
At one university graduation, he said:
“Put God first in everything you do. Everything that I have is by the grace of God. Understand that — it’s a gift.”
