Holy Spirit

So the last few weeks God has been sharing some stuff with me. It's been interesting to say the least.

When I'm on the net either on Sunday night after church on Monday afternoon Salvo people (mainly younger ones) say to me "Ohhh Aaron guess what... I went to a Pente church last night and got baptized with the Holy Spirit...I got prophesied over, Man the Holy Spirit was SOOOOO real and evident..." The question HAS to be asked, why do so many Salvationists believe that they HAVE to go to ANOTHER church to feel the Holy Spirit or to be prophesied over? Are these NOT gifts from God? If they are (and I'm belivin' that they are!) Then WHY oh why are these gifts from God not being received within The Salvation Army??? Granted these gifts are received at Corps....but why not all of them? I will not go to another church to be baptized with the Holy Spirit of receive prophesies. We believe that we serve and worship a Triune God. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Or if you're Postmodern you might refer to them as Creator, Redeemer & Sustainer. We believe that they are undivided in essence and co-equal in power and glory. - If you don't believe me, check our (The Salvation Army) third doctrine.

I'd really be interested in your thoughts on this....let me know!

Under the blood!!!

Disciplined, Focused & Detailed!!!

Well, the title of this blog are my three key words for this semester. Semester One was a transition, into college, the study and social aspects. So now, there is no reason for me to be achiving even better results than last semester.

Those who know me, might notice that my three key words go completely against my personality, but I'm determined to do better this semester. Perhaps determined should be one of my words.

I've even done up this funky timetable that is colour co-ordinated and all! And better than that is that I've ACTUALLY been sticking to it! Woohoo!!!

Today I finished a written reflection, you may be thinking, "that's great Stobes", But it gets better, because it's not due in for another 3 weeks!! hahaha!!!

My week has been great so far, God is very good and continues to bless and challenge me! May YOU experience His transforming love today! All of God's blessings!
