Transformed

After that you will come to the Hill of God where there are Philistine garrisons. When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place prophesying. They will be preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres. The Spirit of the LORD will control you, you will prophesy with them, and you will be transformed into a different person.
1 Samuel 10:5-6

After Saturday's post and thoughts on control I was interested to come across this verse and particular translation in the HCSB. I am not a bible scholar and I couldn't find any other translations that use the word control, but it's food for thought.

At the weekend I listened to a fascinating debate on the Florida Outpouring on our local Christian station Premier Radio. It was entitled The Florida Outpouring - a new move of God or hype & sensationalism? The debate was between Gerald Coates, a prominent charismatic in the UK, a conservative evangelical with cessationist theology, and an agnostic. I found it completely fascinating and enlightenening and it actually cleared up a few issues for me. You can listen directly to the programme here.
