Holy Ghost Batman!!

So probably for a lot of you, when I say the Holy Spirit, you either say, woah that's scary or wow he's crazy. And I agree with both of those. The Holy Spirit is crazy and scary, and people who are led by him are also rather odd. This is because He is Gods messenger, and what we consider order and organised is not always what God considers order. In fact often when God really works we will think it is disordered and odd, which is why the Holy Spirit is so often restrained, He upsets the status quo and makes the wisdom of men appear foolish. This is who we learnt about this week, that wascally character of the Holy Spirit.
We were baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit, which sounds very Christianese and maybe strange to some, but it was so amazing. For me, it was not so new thanks to my church background, but for many of my classmates it was a very eye-opening experience. It was cool to research what the Holy Spirit means and study how he worked in the Bible, both Old and New testament. It gave me a whole new outlook on what it means today and a new confidence in His relevance and power.
We also got prayed over and had spiritual gifts given to us, which makes me excited for the future. For anyone who reads this (and I don't know how many of you that is) who don't understand any of this, or disagree with me, I would love to have a chat about this with you.
In other news, God is amazing and he continues to amaze me with what he's doing. I've had a lot of things spoken over me, a lot of truth. It's challenging and inspiring at the same time. The main theme that appears to be coming out through it all is that I need to accept and step into what God has for me. I've been running and scared for so long, putting others before me and making excuses like “I'm too young.” This is all baloney. There's no such thing as too young, in fact, God loves to use young people for his purposes. I'm still working out what it is exactly God wants me to do, but I know its big, and its gonna be awesome. Watch out world, literally, January DTS 2010 is coming for you.
'Till next time, much love to you all!!!
