Apostlic Church Midterm Grade

Hi Guys

Actually I was wrong about the class average for the Apostolic Church Midterm Grade. The real average was better. It was 8.7! Great job guys.

Amen.......

Also, just want to thank Pastor Glen for coming last night even though he was wrecked. Praise God for strength and healing cause he brought a great word from the Lord.

Just want to encourage you all (if you arent coming along on thursday nights) to try and get along if you can. They have been very (very) blessed nights.

What an awesome school!!!

Peace and blessings,

Simon

Last night while Ps Glen was praying for the growing of the school and the new one starting up felt reminded by God of the fig tree and new shoots that grow off that tree being firmly rooted into the ground. So as the tree continues to expand itself it becomes even more firmly established. Being rooted and grounded in the soil of Gods riches and love.
Hope that encourages you Ps Glen.

Shepherd of True Peace

One of the points of developing a Davidic heart that Ps Glen shared that grabbed my attention particularly was point 4. 'Tend sheep and learn to fight'. As I personally avoid confrontations, and love to be at peace with all people this is a challenge I realise that God is challenging me for a very good reason. A while ago I was reading the 'words in red' in the gospels and began to question the Lord about verses where Jesus says how He didn't come to bring peace but a sword. He began to show me that in order to bring true peace, order, and justice for the good of all His people there needs to be a fight for it, a contending for it (a type of violence against evil that ruins the true peace and safety that God desires). So avoidance is not God's will. Pretending you didn't know there was a problem is only a false peace.

I read an article this week about a judge who was on the bench to rule for legalisation of adoption by same sex couples. And as this christian judge's concern for the innocent children who don't have a voice for themselves in this situation was greater than his own reputation and position, he chose to speak against this ruling and now is a judge no longer.

This is a great living example of fighting for the protection of others. So I am urged to pick up my cross and lay my life down at any cost. What ever it takes to be a ‘shepherd of true peace’ hey!

Mystery, Awe and Wonder

Glory to God, Monday night was another blessed and powerful night at Bible School! The Lord really wanted to build up His church, it was like He couldn't wait to minister to us! As we began to move in the prophetic a new sense of wonder and awe filled the students. It seemed like everyone was being encouraged and built up and my housemate Kate (another member of the school) and I agreed that the teachers and students as a body experienced a new level of spiritual unity.

It was so encouraging for me to hear all the students prophesying and made me realise that by God's grace these gifts are actually for us! God's ideas for His Church are so grand and His grace, gifts and power are swallowing up the current way of mediocrity. Lets all accept this reality for ourselves and press in deep to be apart of it! The heights of God's love and faithfulness are amazing!

Thanks to Cheryl and Pastor Glen for being so open to the spirit and for the great teaching, we're all very blessed.

I worked out how to use the blog

Praise the Lord

Oh!! and happy birthday Phill!!
Woot Woot!!

Hey!! i figured it out!! haha!! i'm getting the hang of this gizzmo-gadget thingy, commenly refered to as a "computer"

I'm kind've over a week late on this, but GOSH.. i was so impacted by the revelation that was spewing out of Galations the other night! I was radicaly impacted by the realisation of the complete freedom released to us through Jesus cruixifiction. We no longer live 'under' the law (death), but it has been implanted in our hearts through the Holyspirit! (life). I was also impacted by the power of bondage in our lives too, and how restricting it is to us... Now is the time we reflect this into our lives and release freedom into these areas of bondage!! woot woot!! exciting eh!?!

One other thing that opened up to me was the power of speaking Gods word into peoples lives. Here i was trying to convince people to my way of thinking with my own vocabulary. Ha! I had know idea that the Spirit attaches itself to Gods words and impacts the receiver supernaturaly!! I guess heb 4:12 makes more sence to me now :-) Ha! its prob old newz 4 u guyz, but hey! I thought it was kind'a kool!

Peace out brothers
