Thanks for prayin'! I really want to preach. I'm about to explode. haha. If I do get to preach, I'll be the FIRST Pentecostal ever and the first person ever to yell and shout while preachin' in a Methodist church. haha...I can't wait!
Oh yeah, Hillsong is awesome!!!! Maybe it's because they're Aussie. haha. Aussies RULE!![]()
...and...
Good morning everyone! Hope you are all having a great and blessed day!
So guess what? hahaha...I was talking to my mother last night about college. Oh joy. hahaha. I want to go to a Church of God College here in town and she doesn't want me going there, until now. I've been highlighting courses and writing down the degrees I want to get and my mom said,"Other colleges you've looked at don't have want you want right?" I said, "You are correct." So my Methodist momma is gonna let me go to a Pentecostal college. haha. Which again, doesn't make sense because they are Pentecostal ALL the way and you have to go to Chapel 3 times a week and as you guys know she wont even let me go to a Pentecostal church. hahaha.
Anyway, we started talking about my degrees. I told her the main one I'm going to get is one in Pastoral Ministry. (I'm going to double major and get some minors...haha..Yep I'm gonna be in school a while but oh well...hahahaha) Then my mom said (regarding the 150 hour internship you have to do and your supervisor will place you at a church or you can pick a church and have it okayed by everyone...lol), "Josh, we go to a Methodist church." You can imagine what I was thinking when she said that. LOL. I said, "Mom, just because I'm going into the ministry doesn't mean I'm going to be Methodist. I am not going to be preaching in the Methodist church when I'm a pastor." And then there was silence. LOL....
I told her why I perfer the Pentecostal church over the Methodist church. I told her my exact reasons why I dislike the Methodist church for example I mentioned...
Views on Israel, Abortion, Gay-Marriage
Not Spirit-filled
Don't believe in the gifts of the Holy Ghost
Services aren't led by the Holy Ghost
Worshipping is confined so that you can only do certain things (like clap and raise your hands) but I'm gonna change that because I'm TIRED of just staying still all the time. haha
Yeah and this is getting way to long so I'm gonna quit typing. lol...
God Bless,
Josh

I would just like to take a moment and say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hannah HD, It is just as Mark said, God isn't doing this. I have not said much lately, but have been watching and following what has been happening with you and your situation. I know someone mentioned to you about the negative words coming from your mouth, and I'd like to add something to that. You cannot say negative things and expect God to move in your life. In other words, you cannot have a divided heart. God says this type of person is a double minded person and they shall not receive anything from God. You cannot pray and ask Him to help you, and then say well, I guess He just wants me to suffer before He helps ...To say something like that would be making a mockery of Christ on the cross. Standing there saying, I'm sorry, Jesus, what you did on that cross just isn't enough for me. I know what Your word says, but I just don't believe it today.HD, God is not the one causing your distress. It's just part of life. I've been there, too. I know it's not easy. But I also learned that it's not God's fault.
If I had the means to help you, I would.
