I thought the Pentecostal Church included direct contact with the Holy Spirit, and that it was appropriate to ask for answers to the important questions in life, like who to marry, what career to pursue, where to live, etc. as well as asking for physical/emotional/spiritual healing. Is this correct?

I'm wondering if you have had any experiences where you actually witnessed first hand someone getting guidance or being healed. Have you experienced these things? Not havnig visited a Pentecostal Church before (but thinking about it) I assumed that as soon as you had a question, and especially if someone in the Church was trying to manipulate you, you would go to the best person who can receive guidance from contact with the Holy Spirit and ask them to help you by receiving what you should do. Did you try this?

I would appreciate hearing your answers if you feel good about answering, I believe in the Holy Spirit, and I would like to believe that it can help us in our practical every day lives, even though I have no evidence of that. I was hoping the Pentecostal Church could provide that evidence, but now I'm beginning to wonder.
