Mexico City...

This year I once again got to be Co-Leader with Josh Stevens to Mexico City.  We had some 30 students from the School of Supernatural Ministry with us and God moved in wonderful ways.  We partnered with Agustin Enriquez and Pan De Vida seeing God show up in church meetings and on the streets.  Walking out of one of the meetings, a woman around her 50s or so who was blind (not sure to what degree but she was being led around by someone because she could not see) and could not walk well as she used a cane to feel around came up to me.  Placing my hands on her head I prayed a quick and simple prayer.  When I took my hands away she began to scream, "Veo! Veo!"  (Spanish for "I see! I see!")  We sat her down for a moment because one of her legs was shorter than the other causing back and hip problems.  The power of God grew her leg so quickly - she got up and I started to walk her around.  Within 30 seconds she was running up and down a staircase unassisted!  Jesus did a full body makeover!

The students enjoyed leading as well.  We sent six teams to various churches in Pan De Vida's network and to different parts of the city.  One of the students preached open air to a hundred or more students as they dismissed from school.  Miracles broke out en masse, 30 or more students gave their hearts to Christ, and he even activated them to pray for eachother to be healed.  The police came to shut our team down, but the parents protested -- "We want them to keep telling us and our children more"  All of this happened in the period of an hour long outreach time.  How much does God want to do in an hour for you?  ha ha ha!

One of the highlights for Josh and I was a miracle breakout in a nice restaurant while we were out to eat with our friend Pastor Agustin.  After our hostess was healed, the presence of the Lord began to move through the restaurant.  A whole table of people experienced it as God opened a deaf ear with a simple clap of my hands, a short leg grew, a cane was made useless, and a young girl wept as God healed her heart.  Another table got involved and a man who was obviously offended at our ministering saw his wife dramatically healed after years of unsuccessful surgery on her neck and bone spurs in her foot dissappeared.  He gave his life to Christ and was filled with the Spirit and joy!  Another table joined, then the staff jumped in.  Many people were saved, filled with the Spirit and even activated to see their co-workers healed through their prayers.  People were flapping their hands yelling "Calor!" (heat) as the power of God came on them.  In all between our meal and revival for dessert we spent 3 hours ministering to dozens of people and seeing an even greater number of miracles!

More NE!!!

Night three of our journey to Omaha, NE friends Matt, Adam, and Kedrick joined us for an amazing time at the Hub with our new friend Julaine Christensen and the rest of the Hub family.  That night the prophetic flowed in a radical way.  It was as if Isaiah 11 was being fulfilled before us. "... the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord..."  Words of knowledge were released for people's first, middle, and last names, birth cities, home states, and many other details.  People were awed by God's recognition of them.

The team ministered in power and many miracles broke out.  We saw breakthroughs with cataracts no longer effecting vision, pains gone, and tumors disolving.  One woman had had a short leg for over thirty years, and had other pains and problems.  In the hands of someone who had never before performed a miracle, her leg grew out and she gave glory to God for the freedom in her body she had received.

One of the most amazing things about that whole night was the special realm of God's glory that showed up in the room.  The fear/ awe of God was so tangible.  I will never forget that presence.

If you were there in some of these meetings, feel free to add to the comment list or submit a testimony...  more to follow

TEAM REVIVAL!!!

NEBRASKA!

So much happened in the past week it is hard to know where to start.

On November 6, five teams from Bethel Church descended upon the state of Nebraska with one goal in mind - openly displaying and activating churches to experience God's tangible love and power throughout the state.  When we left 10 days later... I can say mission accomplished.

I got to take a group of students to Omaha, Nebraska for the first part of the trip.  We had the best time.  Before out first meeting even started, the team was found praying over a woman named Cindy who was in pain from a car accident years before.  A pinched nerve in her neck caused her hands to be in pain along with her spine.  Doctors had placed a metal plate in the front of her neck for stability and to try to fix the nerve problem.  As the team prayed they got words of knowledge saying, "you were driving a brown car when you got into the accident!"  Cindy responded yes and faith arose even more for what God was about to do.  Cindy felt what she described as an epidural going into her neck and all the pain fleeing her body in a moment.  She felt heat and when she went to check her neck, she could no longer find the plate that had been there before!  Six days later, she was still getting used to not being in constant pain and having the freedom to move where she had not been able to before. Years of pain and immobility in the neck - gone in an instant!  Yay Jesus!

One of our team members commented about that night that he had never seen so many miracles in that size of service.  He said he thinks there were more miracles than people were present.  We saw tumors disappear simply as the word was spoken, a deaf ear popped open, legs grew out to the proper length, arches grew in feet, and many more miracles!  One of the team called out a word of knowledge for a family member that had scoliosis.  A young woman named Darci who was present said, "that is my sister!"  She called her sister and told her to check her spine in the bathroom with a friend.  Upon checking, her sister found her spine had straightened!  Three girls, Michelle, KatyJoy, and Darci joined our team that night to call out words of knowledge - something they had been praying and longing to do.  As they heard the Lord highlight certain conditions they called them out and people receieved healing.

On a free afternoon, the team went to the mall to shop for miracles and healing.  One of the team went up to a worker at Orange Julius and asked her about pain in a ceratain area of her neck and shoulder.  As the team member spoke to the worker but had not layed a hand on her, she felt her neck get hot as if there was a heating pad on it!  She was stunned and God released words over her about her heart and what He was doing in her life.  Some of the team ended up giving words to some kiosk workers who were so stunned that they grabbed the team members and said, "Come with me, my brother works up stairs and you have to do this to him too!"

We met a young man named Shane in the food court.  Shane had a bandage on his wrist which was an obvious sign that God wanted to do something.  Getting some words of knowledge the team member asked Shane, "You also hit your head on something right here in this spot isn't that right."  Shane said, "Yeah."  "It was six years ago, right?"  "Yeah!"  "And your leg is short too, right?" "Yeah!!"  Shane's leg ended up growing out to the same length in front of all of his friends and pain fled from his body in multiple places.  Speaking prophetically into his life, the love of God began to touch Shane in a special way.  Sensing God wanted to do more with him in private, we told him to go home into his room and invite Jesus to take over his life.  It was an amazing encounter!

This testimony only brings us up to night 3... and I am leaving so much out too.... More to come!

The Fathers Love poured out

My Friend Dylan wrote this up about what happened on Monday October 25, 2010 during a time of street evangelism

"...Before heading out for the morning, we asked Holy Spirit for words of knowledge. He told me the name “Rick”, as well as ankle and hip pain…which honestly at the time I didn’t think much of. We then broke off into teams, with my team consisting of Kris, Alice, Bob, and Myself. We pondered places to hit that morning, first thinking “mall”, but realized it was too early to be open. Kris had the idea of hitting up some of the budget motels in the area. Ok, so off we went on our way while Kris stirred us up with past testimonies along the way. He was telling us of times when he would simply be driving down the road and pull up next to people and release words of knowledge and healing. Yeah, Kris, you’re kinda nuts…in a good way. So next thing you know, Kris pulls over to the side of the road  and has Alice release a word of knowledge over two gentlemen walking down the road. She asked if they were suffering from shoulder pain and they said no. Alice wasn’t about to back down and kept chatting them up for a couple more minutes, and one of them finally broke, admitting that he not only had shoulder pain but suffered from chronic dislocation! He went on to tell us of neck pain also associated with the issue (Kris calls this a reverse word of knowledge HAHA!). We prayed for him, and he was extremely touched when God showed up. He’ll need an MRI to confirm the healing, but we’re believing God because He is good and He always comes when we pray! While Alice was releasing Jesus over the first guy, I had the chance to talk to his friend and just prophesy identity and destiny into his life as he was a believer. I think we made there day!

So we pull in and park, and Kris had Bob and I get out and talk with a few gentlemen sitting out in the little park in the center of the motel. I remembered the name “Rick” and asked if either of them were Rick. My heart was beating pretty fast at this point as I’ve only done this a few times in the past. One of the gentlemen replied “no, but there’s a man named Rick down in unit #40 over there”. “Ok,” I thought to myself, “I don’t want to bother him right now if he’s in his room.” So I went onto one of the other words of knowledge I had from earlier and asked if either of them had an ankle problem in their right leg. Again, the older gentleman replied, “no but I know Rick does! He’s not doing to well, maybe you should go talk to ‘em, his door is open!” Ok at this point I know that God wasn’t backing down on this one. So Bob and I walk over to unit #40 and I poke my head through the gated door and say “Are you Rick? God sent us here to find you today.” Umm, did those words seriously just come out of my mouth?! He replied back, “Yeah! Are you guys from (edit) Something Something Church?” How did he know that? We soon come to find out that he’d been meaning to get in touch with (edit) Something Something Church for days for some residential support but didn’t have any way of getting our info to contact us. Well, I guess God contacted us instead and brought the church to him, as He knows what they really need! I went on to release the word regarding the ankle, and he said it started to feel better. Go Jesus! Rick went onto explain that he and his wife were in a tough spot, as she was in the hospital for the past few days with a life-threatening staff infection. Rick really wanted to see her, and so did we because we knew God wanted to heal her as well. And at the same time, we’d be going to a place where everyone can’t help but want to get better: a hospital! 

(CONTINUED)

So Kris was just awesome and cordially agreed to take Rick with us to see his wife at a Hospital. On the ride over, Kris began to prophesy over him, and God physically manifested the word for the hip pain that I had gotten earlier and forgot to release! Right when Kris said the word, Rick said the pain that was once there when he entered the car had now left his body! Haha yes! 3 for 3 in the word of knowledge for the day…amazing! We showed up to the hospital, and Bob and I split ways with Kris and Alice while we took Rick to his wife. We met Rick’s wife, Krissy, and she was overwhelmed with joy to see us and have us pray for her. We got the chance to sit down with the both of them for a good 20-30 and minister to them. I prayed for Krissy’s healing and she said she felt His presence and was feeling better. Then, God began reconciling their marriage! The presence of the Father came in power in a way that I had never experienced before. I had just started reading “Experiencing Father’s Embrace” a couple days before this happened, and wow, did they experience just that. They were in tears at this point. They both knew about God, but didn’t know Him personally and were actually asking us “I want to know Holy Spirit. Can we have Him to?” My heart was breaking at this point, and I said “yep, you can have Him all the time and He’ll never ever leave you or neglect you in any way.” We then led them to encounter Holy Spirit. It was unreal how shattered lives that have been so abused and neglected could come to a place of such joy and peace just within this short amount of time. Earlier in the day, Kris said that “we’re going to see people want to get baptized at the water baptism next week!” Sure enough, Krissy, Rick’s wife, went on to implore that she wanted to get water baptized at (edit) Something Something Church! Haha!! What an adventure! God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think! And all this before lunch on a Monday morning…Jesus sure knows how to start the week off right!"

Right now I feel like God is pouring out His Spirit on you the reader with grace for healing.  I feel like someone's neck is being released from pain as well as a blood disorder being healed.  God is pouring out grace on reconciliation in the family as well.  A fresh start for relationship with God and with each other. I release over you the dew of Hermon - where God's blessing is bestowed - in Jesus Name

Psalm 133

How good and pleasant it is

when brothers live together in unity!

It is like precious oil poured on the head, 

running down on the beard, 

running down on Aaron's beard, 

down upon the collar of his robes.

It is as if the Dew of Hermon 

were falling on Mount Zion. 

For there the LORD bestows his blessing,

even life forevermore.

More University Miracles

Saw more revival breakout at the same University before leaving FL last week.  In a meeting on campus the Holy Spirit broke out.  People were filled throughout the room as He moved in waves in our midst.  Students were overwhelmed by the presence and collapsed to the ground- some wept and some laughed.  A few words of knowledge were called out.  One was for people in multiple car accidents.  One of the people who responded started shaking as the power of the Holy Spirit moved upon her - her neck would click and when she turned her head it would jolt and could not move smoothly.  Suddenly she could move freely!  Another girl had a skin issue where she constantly itched since the age of twelve and she was now around her mid twenties.  The power of God came over her, and she told me the next day that where there was a problem there was no more. 

After the meeting a group of us went out for Sushi.  Still buzzing from all that God did earlier, people were giving each other encouraging words from God and experiencing great joy.  Walking by a kind of mean looking guy I felt something touch my right knee.  I stopped and said to the guy, "Hey, you have a problem with your right knee, right?"  He replied - kinda put off, "what do you mean?"  I told him, "right in this spot on the side of your knee you have a problem (going more specific)."  He said he had injured a ligament in there.  I told him God was healing it and to check it again.  He did.  To his surprise, the problem was gone.  I then felt some more words of knowledge for other problems he had.  I told him God was healing his neck and shoulders and to check them too.  He did and found that all the pain had left.  I asked him to hold out his hands, and as he did he felt the presence of God come over him and invited Jesus to come and touch his life.  As my friend Ahab says, "Its easy for people to meet Jesus after he shows up."

There is more to come!  God is healing people reading this right now.

If you are reading this and you have a problem with your eyes, put your hands on them now.  I release the presence of Jesus over your eyes.  God is disolving a cataract in a woman's right eye who is in her mid sixties.  I feel like a problem focusing / learning is being healed as well.  The Healing Presence of God fills your room right now.  

Revival is not an event.  Revival is what we are becoming.  Be blessed!

Miracles at a University!

I love taking risk...  When you know how loved you are it is easy because "faith works through love" (Galatians 5:6).  This past week I had the opportunity to spend a day down in Boca Raton, Florida at a secular university and see some miracles.   My friends and I drove down there and they had to get back but I felt like I needed to stay.  I said goodbye to my friends as they drove the 50 minutes back up to where I am staying not knowing exactly how I would get home.  I had no food or money on me to get any.  All I could do was laugh... God is good and He would take care of it.

In a parking lot, I got a word of knowledge for someone who had neck pain from a car accident.  I walked over to a group of people getting in their car and asked who had the problem.  At first no one spoke up so I checked with each person individually.  I sensed it was this one woman and she admitted that it was her.  Her friends said, "Why didn't you say anything when he asked the first time?"  It was pretty funny.  The Lord healed her in a moment.  She was a bit stunned.  Another word of knowledge came for a problem with the blood and this woman responded - something she will have to check up on over time.  I continued to give words of encouragement to her through the prophetic - and she returned the favor as she was a Christian.  It was awesome!

I made some phone calls to people I knew down in that area and no one responded so I just kept walking around.

A few minutes later I came across a group of hispanic gentlemen who did not speak english.  I tried to preach the gospel in Spanish and tell them how Jesus does miracles and died for them.  I felt the presence of God touching them... they thanked me and said Adios.

I headed for the room where Intervarsity Christian Ministry meets on campus and it turned out that one of my friends was there!  Over the course of the next few hours she introduced me to groups of people and had me share stories of God's grace and power through my travels.  God broke out in healings through the afternoon!  That night I got to speak for a couple of minutes to a group and invited the Holy Spirit to come.  I asked if anyone there wanted to be baptized in the Holy Spirit to raise their hands to heaven.  A young man did and the power of God came on him.  He started shaking, fell forward onto the ground under the power of God, spoke in tongues, and prophesied over people for the next hour - things he had never done before!  It was awesome.

My friend ended up taking me out to eat at an amazing Asian Restaurant and offered to drive me home.
I am going to head down there again next week and see what else God has in store... Jesus is AMAZING!

New Zealand!!!

New Zealand may be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Here is where I got to surf yesterday (it was not that good but I was still pretty stoked!) Everything is green and the people are all layed back. I am searching for Hobbits (The Lord of the Rings was filmed here)... I will let you know when revival breaks out among them.

I hope you are all doing well!

The past couple of weeks since I returned from Haiti have been a time of picking back up the traveling momentum. Last week Josh and I went with a team to do a mini- Healing School with Grace Fellowship in Santa Rosa, CA pastored by Ken and Christina Smith. A few of the churches there came together for the weekend and we saw people greatly activated to demonstrate God's power. One testimony we heard back from them was that a pastor who could only make the morning session followed by impartation ended up giving words of knowledge back in his church and people were healed... something he had not done before! We saw alot of miracles in the meetings. Words of knowledge flowed as the team released the miraculous. During a time of impartation, a woman got up after being out in the spirit and noticed she could balance on one foot, something she could not do before because of some type of brain legion/ nervous system disorder. Johnathan, a young boy who wanted to play basketball was born with a birth defect which led to having a slightly locked/distorted ankle and a leg shorter than the other by 3/4 of an inch was not able to run without some pain or squat down without loosing his balance. It is likely that as he grew these problems would affect his life even more. After receiving some prayer, Johnathan's leg grew out and his ankle moved. He squatted down without falling over and ran around. He was excited to be able to play basketball well now. Yay Jesus!

During the Sunday morning service (the service that is typically the least "messy" on a trip) I was sharing a testimony and a woman just started weeping and encountering God in the second row. I guess God wanted to interrupt my sharing, so I stopped and asked her what was happening. She said she believed God could heal her of Parkinsons, I asked her what she could not do. She said she shuffles her feet when she walks. I asked her how she would know if she was healed. She got up from her chair and took off darting accross the room! Everybody got really excited and we did not get a chance to preach a sermon that morning... Jesus just started healing people all over the room!

One miracle that I have not seen before in a meeting we were leading was people getting gold crowns / fillings (the metal changing substance). We had felt before the service that this was going to happen so after calling out some words of knowledge we asked people to check. It started with one and then one multipled to three or more. I love that there is no real reason for gold teeth - I suppose if your tooth is bad it may help, but if its not... Miracles like that are just a kiss from our Father, a sign of His love, a sign that makes you wonder. Lately,I have really felt that God wants to demonstrate the extravagence of His love even more through things like this. One such way is in how He is not only Provider but His manifest presence is Provision. God wants to heal finances like He heals the body because the oppression of lack keeps people focused on personal poverty rather than focusing on being a blessing and releasing the Kingdom of God to the world around them.

Through the weekend we had felt that people were going to get financial miracles and shared testimonies of things God has done for us personally. A friend of ours who joined us felt led to give one of the team some money. He knew how much money he had in his pocket before and after, but on the car ride home he found that $29 had turned into $49! One of the church members told the pastor that a few days after the conference they received a $5000 bonus and felt it connected with what God had released. There were other testimonies of financial breakthrough that weekend as well. I guess all things really are possible with God (Mark 10:27)
I release that same breakthrough over you... that in being blessed, you would be a blessing to the world around you!

I will be in New Zealand / Australia through March 16th. My friend Chad gets here in a few weeks and is hosting some conferences as well. Please pray for us during our time in New Zealand. I am excited for God to move and to get some good surfing in too. We want to eternally impact the people and the land here... and of course see all of the Hobbits meet Jesus.

Lots of Love to all of you!

Mission Possible: Haiti!!!

Hi Friends and Family!

Thanks for all the kind words and love towards this recent trip to Haiti to provide disaster relief. The trip was a dream come true.

I was honored to join 17 others from Bethel Church as we partnered with 20 or so from around the US as part of a team with TDA (Transformational Development Agency) an NGO that does work with the United Nations. We went with a strong medical contingent to provide trauma services, wound care, and post-operative care.

Having avoided media coverage before the trip, I was still preparing for the worst. Some news outlets bluntly described Haiti as a war-zone while others declared it hell on earth. As ambassadors of Jesus Christ we knew our mission was clear - to bring Heaven to earth. Partnering with the medical community, we set up clinics and took to the streets to release the Kingdom of God in hope, healing, and restoration. We made deep connections with locals who survived the quake, and God moved mightily in our midst. Here is a quick testimony to wet your appetite.

Charles is a short man with a big smile. A loving father and well educated, he takes pride in his appearance which was comfortable yet sophisticated considering the poverty of the area. I met Charles because his English was good enough to provide translation. God had great plans in us coming together. Charles used to be a teacher. Now his classroom is a pile of rubble. He lost only a few students to the quake, but that is enough to take a toll on anyone's heart. Charles's family was ok except that he is now without a home (he asked for a tent so that his family would not get wet when the rain starts to poor down in a few months) and without a place of work. The quake had robbed everyone. Perceptions were that the 7.0 that hit a few weeks ago had been an act of God.

The first day we set up a clinic and then hit the streets sharing about the goodness of God- how this quake was not God's will. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus comes that we may have life and life more abundantly (John 10:10). The group of us out together saw dozens healed and dozens meet Jesus that day as people were touched by God's love and power. Day two came along and I got to link up with Charles again. First things first I asked Charles if he had ever been baptized in the Holy Spirit. He said no but that he wanted to be. We prayed for Him to be filled with the Holy Spirit. He shook under the power of God and began to speak in tongues. Then, a nurse named Don, Charles, and I teamed up went into one of the many tent cities that have sprung up in the wake of the disaster to offer medical care and prayer. Don is not only a nurse but a revivalist as well so I knew we were in for a treat. We had one hour before we had to meet back up with the larger team. One of the first people we came across was an older woman who was completely blind in her right eye and mostly blind in her left. Her eyes just drifted around as she saw only black from the one and fog from the other. Don, Charles and I proceeded to pray for the woman. As we did she began to see forms and then count the fingers on Don's hand as he held it out from her face. God did a miracle! We began to share with those watching what had happened. A group of people gathered around. We asked if anyone wanted to know Jesus as their best friend. Nobody responded. But then God showed us that a woman there had pain in her spine which He wanted to heal. We told her that whether or not she wanted to give her life to Jesus, that God would heal her. Without a hand laid on her, she felt the pain leave her back. Not only was she healed but now she wanted to know Jesus. More so, not only did she want to know the one who had just opened a blind eye and healed others, but the rest of the group gathered wanted to know him too. A number of people there received Jesus as their Lord and Savior and were healed. Charles was praying for people by himself and seeing them healed. A little boy ran over and asked to receive Jesus. As I prayed with him, a large man whose face was filled with anger stormed over to us. Charles is a small man, maybe 5 foot 6 inches and I am too handsome and too skinny to fight. This guy was big and the thoughts of being beat up did flash my mind - he looked upset. I honored him and explained that we were there to offer medical care and healing. I told him we wanted nothing in return and that he should ask the woman who was blind about what had happened. Upon talking with her, everything changed and the angry man became a happy evangelist, bringing us around the camp praying for people. We saw a number of people healed, saved, and delivered during that time. Needless to say a lot can happen in an hour. I told Charles that along with teaching he has the opportunity in a career preaching the gospel if he so desires. He told me he had never seen such things before, and he knows he can do it too! Mesi Jezi! (Creole for "Thank you Jesus!").

For you, I pray for greater encounter with the compassionate one - Christ Jesus. I pray that you would be undone with His love in you and through you this week. Father, please give more opportunities for those reading this to release your Kingdom and be encouraged in your grace this week. Let divine connections increase this week and friendships prosper. I see a picture of a rope tying people together. I feel like God is connecting you into deeper fellowship this week.

Much Love!

Haiti Relief

Hello Friends,

Bethel Church is sending a team of which I am currently apart to Haiti at the end of this week. The team consists of medical workers and revivalists whose plan it is to serve the people of this devastated nation with the love of the Father and the power of His Kingdom. Our mission is filled with impossibilities, but the God who makes all things possible is with us. We plan on holding the fatherless, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and raising the dead. Can a nation be saved in a day? I plan on finding out.

We will be staying at an orphanage in Port Au Prince right next to the airport where many abandoned children are being dropped off. From there we will go out into the community to meet any needs we find. Please reply or email me if you have any questions, prayers, etc. about the trip. I will post testimonies as I can to keep you in the loop! Much Love!

December - Happy New Year!

Sent to the Nations...

Happy New Year!

How are you? Any special goals or resolutions for this New Year?

It has been the best year ever and things are only going to get better! In front of me is a book called "The Improving State of the World" and all it talks about are statistics of how the world is getting better and better from health to wealth to literacy to mouths fed. I have been thinking about all the great breakthroughs God has accomplished in this year alone, and all I can do is get happy. Just from my vantage point (which is a small one) I have gotten to see thousands healed, saved, and delivered, hundreds if not much more equipped to win the lost with displays of the power of God, and many friends enter into their destiny in the past year. We have great reason to celebrate all that He has done!

Over the past month I have spent my time split between Southern California and Redding. I started out going to Mammoth Mountain, a famous ski resort town out here, to be part of a team with my friends Chad and Julia Dedmon. We had a blast connecting with the Lighthouse Church there. We got to spend a whole day with their school of ministry and saw amazing stuff happen. After a short equipping on words of knowledge and treasure hunt evangelism (people are the treasure God leads you to), we saw multiple people healed and touched by God's love. One of the guys in our group heard God say the name Steve and a guy in the store stood out to him. So he just called out to the guy, "Hey Steve!" The guy ignored us, but after we caught up and gave him some encouraging words about God's love for him, we asked him his name. With a funny attitude he said, "Steve... but you already knew that." One of the groups found a girl with Cerebral Paulsy in the store who could not move her arm because of the disease. After a quick prayer the team asked her to do something she could not do before - she began to move her arm around normally and was astounded!

While at Mammoth I got to learn how to snowboard. So far I am really bad. I am going to stick to surfing, but please pray for me to be healed from the effects of the mountain on my ego.

The week after Mammoth, Chad and Julia hosted their first conference at GoodNews Church in Riverside, CA with Kurt and Mary Alice Shroeder (Love you guys!). The conference brought us all to a new level of experiencing the presence of God. There were prophetic booths so that attendees could be prophesied over and encouraged as well as activation sessions for encountering God, living a revivalist lifestyle, and treasure hunting. Some of the testimonies from the event include numerous deaf ears opening, one of the women when interviewed about what was happening to her said her ears were open and her pants were loose! She freaked out as she had lost weight off her waistline in the presence of God. We did not pray for that but why not? Jesus takes away the heavy burden... ha ha ha! Another individual went through a transformation in God's love - having been an epileptic we have since heard that this individual has seen great breakthrough with an internal shift and no more seizures! Yeah Jesus! Also partnering with Chad and Julia's ministry Encountering Jesus (www.encounteringjesus.com) were Chad's dad Kevin Dedmon, Shawn Bolz, and team of students from Bethel Church. The fellowship and impartation were amazing.

Since that time I have been up in Redding enjoying the Christmas holiday connecting with friends. It has been a great time of strategizing and dreaming for the New Year. I remember hearing stories of this one prophet who had a recurring vision of a news reporter on a major network reporting, "There is no news but good news tonight..." The reporter went on to share how stadiums across the nation were filled with people in adoration of Jesus and great and mighty miracles were taking place by the thousands. No one knows who those on stage are, but they had been declaring the works of God for hours and even days straight. Since the times of this recurring vision some many years ago, this prophet has seen the same newscaster (who would have been a child at the time of the vision) on television with a major network. I think 2010 is a great time for this vision of God's heart to come to pass. America is in and ready for more revival. My word for 2010... I see a cloud the size of a man's hand... its time for rain (1 Kings 18:44).

Please continue to pray for

-a place in Southern California for me to live (I am praying to live with a family rather than by myself),

-further financial strategy for the future (I plan on having a family one day and want to feed the nations spiritually and physically),

-further in roads to serve the dreams of the sons and daughters of Hollywood (we are called to disciple nations and no other place does it more or do I cry for more),

-the strengthening of our team and how we plan to run together releasing revival,

-the blessing and increase of my spiritual fathers and mothers in the church and the business world,

-and greater encounters with Father (I like Him alot).

Keep me updated on how you are doing... Lots of Love!

November

Hello Family and Friends,

I have decided to let today be the best day of my life. Right now I am in Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday on the heels of some travels. During the end of October I enjoyed time with friends in Redding. I had the oppurtunity to just chill for a week, blessed with my own room, before attending Bethel's Leaders Advance. While there I decided to write and ended up doing an outline and pouring around 30 hours into a book over 4 days giving me somewhere over 70 pages in a book. It was just flowing out of me. The topic is on feeling and enjoying the presence of God. Where there are books on seeing in the spirit (Eph 1:18 talks about the eyes of your heart being open to know the hope of our calling and the riches of our inheritance), this book is about feeling the presence of God and responding to God's Glory, thus positioning oneself for greater encounter. Please pray for the grace to finish it here in the next couple of weeks - and insight on what to do next with it.

One Saturday while I was in Redding, I went to the Healing Rooms at Bethel to sit and write in that atmosphere of Glory. Many there got to take part in praying over a woman who throughout the course of her visit that day was healed of MS! For 29 years she had had the disease. It had progressed to the point that she was in a wheelchair only able to move one arm and could not squeeze her hands. In the presence of God she began to regain movement. She got out of her wheelchair and was pushing it around, squeezing her hands, doing all the stuff she could not do before. There is video of the miracle on youtube if you want to check it out.

At the Leaders Advance I got so encouraged by the testimonies of revival all over the world. Leaders came in from many nations and shared the fruit of what God is doing in their spheres of influence. At one of the dinners I got to visit with some leaders from places we had traveled to in South Africa over the summer. They shared how their congregations are seeing miracles in the streets. One leader shared how some of the youth had not had enough money for pizza dinner so they decided to just worship outside the restaurant. As they did money actually began to fall from the sky - that is awesome!

After the Advance I got to go on a ministry trip to Ramona, CA led by my friend Jason Chin. Jason is an equipper and believes in people more than anyone I know - so much so I don't think he ever even preached. His 14 year old son got to come along and spoke during one of the sessions. While there I got to see one of the strongest activations of a church I have seen to date. So many miracles happened. Jesus got His reward. One of the nights the team felt like we were not supposed to pray for anyone - that the church should do the ministry. I was asked to pick a ministry team from the congregation. Before the meeting I met up with about ten of the young people in a room to soak. As we waited in the presence, they started having visions and getting words of knowledge for the meeting. I figured they might as well be the team. During the service they called out numerous conditions and people were getting healed all over the room. A few highlights included seven deaf ears opening, cysts disolving, and pains leaving and two cases of Muscular Distrophy healed (two men were able to make a fist and open it where they could not before). We did an altar call that night for salvation and people received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. One girl invited the Lord into her heart weeping, began to shake and fell over under the Spirit's power. Later a word of knowledge was given for healing of someone who fell of a horse between 3 and 4 years ago. She responded and was healed of scoliosis (she felt her spine straighten)! She was a laughing mess in the Glory... Saved, Healed, and Delivered! There was a teenager who came that night bound to a wheelchair because of cancer that had wrapped around his spine. During testimony time I noticed a young man just standing infront of the stage. I asked him what had happened. He said, "I can't walk." It was the same young man who was bound in the wheelchair - now walking around and feeling warmth and power surging through his back. Jesus! At the end of the night the Glory got so strong we went in to a time of impartation. The team just layed on the stage as people radically encountered God.

From Ramona I hopped on a plane to North Carolina to spend a few days with a friend / mentor. We got to go to a UNC game where Jesus healed a scalper. Jesus loves scalpers too! Chad (my friend) and I got to do another meeting and the miracles were again amazing. I watched as a woman who had no arches in her feet grew them right infront of me. Over the phone we saw pains from Lupus go away and a growth on the back of the neck disappear. It was glorious!

So the travels continue... Please pray for a home base for the team I am traveling with predominantly right now. Chad, Julia, Nick, Andy, and I all burn for revival in Southern California. Andy is getting back into modeling and just texted me that he got a runway job. We are looking for housing this month and want to serve and partner with existing churches in SoCal for total reformation of the region. I am also in need of wisdom on how to finance all that God has called me to do. I am grateful for your constant support. Please let me know how you are doing.

Much Love

October

Hello Family and Friends!

Thanks for the continued support and replies to the email... I love to be encouraged! Here I am in beautiful Orange County, California enjoying myself so much I almost forgot to update all of you on how I am doing! Today I surfed twice with friends - we scored Huntington Beach Pier at night tonight. It was great to surf with just the two of us for a bit. The lights on the pier allow for just enough light to surf. My friends Chad, Julia, Nick and Andy and I have been surfing and strategizing for the next season we are entering into.

Since I last wrote you I have been to FL, Texas, Redding, and now Southern California. My stay in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas was amazing... Many thanks to Steve and Marci Fish and Matt and Sonja Bomhoff for hosting me and allowing me to speak in their school of supernatural ministry there. I had a blast connecting with friends and seeing the Lord move in power. One of the days while I spoke a pastor who attends the school got completely drunk in the Spirit, falling from his chair (how do you fall from a chair? ha ha) and reported that a tumor on his back shrank and pain left it as well during the preaching. We then went out to do evangelism and we saw a number of people healed, prophesied over, and touched with God's love. I got to do some equipping in moving by faith in the word of knowledge. A woman who I went out with got a word for a stomach problem and which house the person was in so we just walked up and knocked on the door. When the people inside answered we said, "Hello, we are here to help the person with the stomach problem." They said, no one had such a problem. We told them God had sent us here and asked if they were sure that no one had the problem. They said yes but one of them had just lost their mom. They believed God had sent us. As we left I told the gal who had gotten the word that many times people don't confess to having conditions. As we got about 30 feet away from the apartment, the woman inside came back out and told us that she actually did have that problem... God proved the point and we released healing over her!

On the last day I shared my testimony on how the Lord began to set my heart ablaze that Jesus would get what He deserved in people being healed. At the end I did an activation in the word of knowledge and the students called out conditions and numerous healings took place. One highlight was when a young man called out a shoulder problem. A man in his seventies responded. He had dreamed of playing major league baseball until he hurt his shoulder in high school. Now after over 50 years of problems and pain, the power of God touched him and he has mobility and no pain! Yay Jesus! I felt like it is a sign to all of us that God is restoring dreams in renewing our youth and the ability to dream - it is time for hope to Arise and for us to run with our dreams again! I pray that all who read this would day dream with the Father about nothing being impossible. That specific hopes would come to the surface and desire fulfilled would be their portion (Proverbs 13:12).

Please pray that God would grant me fresh vision as to what the next year and years should look like, and that loose ends would tie together for upcoming ministry trips. I am alive for the fullness of where my dreams and the Father's dreams collide.

I am also in search of a place to stay as I get more established in Southern California and partner with friends here.

In the next week or so I am planning to trek back up to Redding for the Leadership Advance and then go to FL for a wedding and then off to North Carolina for a time of encounter at Moravian Falls.

Early September

Hello Family and Friends!

August has brought even more revival! All of the support Josh and I have been getting from all of you is amazing. We can feel your hands patting us on the back along with the Father's. The trip to Germany was phenomenal. We have seen a riot of miracles and the power of God in Germany. The people that have been coming to the church have never experienced God like this. All they know about the power of God comes from maybe seeing things on TBN. We are having to explain as people are falling over and rolling around getting drunk in the Spirit of God. We have been teaching the kids that have been getting the most impacted by God's Spirit how to get words of knowledge for healing. People in the service the other night were getting powerfully healed as the young people called out conditions. Two girls, Emmanuella (16 I think) and Belinda (around 12) have been our primary ministry team seeing people healed of all kinds of stuff. Last night a man named Samuel got to pray for his first deaf ear to open up! Samuel went on a treasure hunt with us the other night and ended up chasing a pregnant woman down the street who was on his list - now that is hunger!

We have even been able to call out words of knowledge for family members that were not in the meeting. It was crazy, we were getting their age and how many kids they had and the people were so hungry. Upon calling the family members pain left their body and and they started moving around when they could not before. After that meeting, we felt led to do a fire tunnel outside. As soon as we went out, lightning came out of nowhere and began to flash through the sky - God's throne and power are invading Germany! A family of Russians who were having a bar-b-q were very curious about the fire tunnel seeing people crying and laughing and such, and they invited us to their dinner to learn about the crazy Americans meeting next door. Josh and I got to sit with them and the Spirit of God moved in. The Lord told me to take it easy and let their hunger draw out His love. Only one of them could really converse in English, and she was very skeptical, but also curious. As they asked us about what we had been seeing, she translated the testimonies, the Father's love, the cross and the simplicity of the gospel. You could tell that to some of them they had never heard of such things... being from Soviet and Atheistic nationalities. After a bit the conversation went silent.

Then they asked us, "Well, do you have anything for us?" We responded with specific words of knowledge about who had what problem and that God was healing them right then. We told the first woman to put her hand on her hip and from accross the table the power of God came on her and she stood up pain free with tears and a look of astonishment on her face. As the rest saw this, we asked one girl accross from us, "Do you want to know this Jesus right now." Holding out her hands, tearing up, she asked for forgiveness of sins and invited Jesus into her heart as her Lord and Savior, feeling the power of God filling her.

Jesus!

All in all, a leg grew out, pains were healed, a man's shoulders was healed, a woman with breast cancer felt power surging into the tumors (she could not check infront of us to see the fullness of what had happened, for obvious reasons) and people met Jesus. One girl named Anastasia (which I learned means resurrection) asked us with earnestness of heart, "You need to come to Russia... the people there must here about these things...we invite you to Russia" Needless to say Josh and I were recked by God's love. We gave them our contact to keep in touch... so if anyone wants to go to Moscow? ha ha ha

The last service we did we got to move in waves of mass deliverance for unforgiveness... people were healed as they released forgiveness over those that had hurt them. Nicholas, a friend who was with us, preached on love, and the glory was so strong in the room. Among the many miralces that day, we got a word of knowledge about God healing a woman in a green dress with an eye problem. The woman came forward - turns out she was blind in her left eye from a botched surgery (I think if I had known she was blind I might not have called it out as a word of knowledge for healing... ha ha ha). We grabbed a German gal from the congregation to pray with us. In a matter of minutes, she went from being completely blind to counting fingers on my hand and seeing the color of someone's skirt about 8 feet away! Jesus!

Now we have moved on to Israel to serve at a conference here. Joaquin gets in tonight and we get to connect also with some other friends from Redding who I got to hang out with in Mozambique over the summer. Excitement levels are high between Josh and I!

Please continue to prophesy greater momentum over us here while we are here. The first time I was here at the wailing wall, Seth Dahl (friend from Bethel) and I got to release healing from a word of knowledge over a Jewish man inside the Holy prayer area for the Jews. Now, Josh and I are envisioning piles of people slain in the Spirit at the dome of the Rock and healing riots breaking out everywhere. The book of Acts continues!

Right now I am typing this staring out the window at the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem knowing that more fruit is to come!

Let me know if you need anything

I love you all!

AFRICA AMAZING

Here are some updates I have been emailing out from my travels through Africa with friends.  Thanks to all who have helped to make my dreams come true...  I now need to get some new dreams to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth.  

Hey All,

I am super thankful for all of you who believe in me.  Here I am staying with friends on the coast of South Africa, releasing revival, surfing, living my dream, but still I cannot wait to get back to the states and hang out with the people I love.  We continue to get testimonies back of revival continuing after we leave cities where we have ministered.  In Port Elizabeth, where I got to speak at a church with my best friend James, we heard that miralces are happening still.  We bumped into some of the young people who were seeing people healed at the mall.  The saints are being equipped!  

After coming back from Mozambique, I have found many of my clothes with holes in them and worn out.  I asked God for some new clothes and yesterday an executive from Quiksilver surfbrand who attended some of our meetings felt led to give us a bunch of clothes.  I got new jeans, sandals, sweatshirt, shirts, boardies....  It was amazing!  Our Father really does not want us to worry about what we will wear - He is soooo good!

Sunday we saw another blind eye open up in a meeting.  I was speaking and during the message God told me to call up a woman from the back who was blind with a scale on her eye.  Her eye looked deformed as well.  I have to admit I was kind of nervous and did not want to pray for her in front of everyone.  She came to the front but unfortunately she spoke another language so we could not figure out what was happening.  I could tell she was more nervous than me.  I prayed not knowing what happened - and called out some words of knowledge to kind of divert all pressure off of her and we saw a few other healings brake out too.  While we released others to pray for healing, we come to find out that as one of our teammates Alexa comforted and prayed for the woman her eye color changed and she could see!  Jesus is Amazing!

Right now I am getting ready to return to America.  My flight leaves tomorrow.  I am arranging another trip to Germany and Israel around August 10th - I am super amped for those trips too.   In Germany and Israel I will be with one of my best friends Josh Stevens.  In Israel we get to be on the ministry team for a conference with Heidi Baker and Joaquin Evans from Bethel.  So far I have been blessed with a ticket to Germany and then onward. If you feel led to pray, just pray for favor in accomodations and such.

In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forever more (Psalm 16:11).  That is where I plan to stay every day of my life.  Everyone is invited.  I pray that you would feel Papa's love like you never have before and that His favor and pleasure would rest on every decision you make.  Let me know if you need anything - Love you all!  

Much Love to all you extended family!

How are you?  Here I am in Pemba, Mozambique at a nice hotel on the beach using the internet and having a burger and a coke.  I have been out in the bush for the last few days, living in a tent, eating rice and beans, doing ministry in a little village a few hours from the Iris Base here.  Needless to say this is a nice reprive (I love burgers!).  I have had the blessing of connecting with great friends here in Mozambique from back home in the States. The leaders of the Missions School here lived two streets from me in Redding this past year.   Some other friends are here as well.  The team has been having a blast... Alexa, one of the girls with the 6 of us got to pray over a blind woman who received her sight!

South Africa was a blast.  We ministered around Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.  Miracles abouded!  Dozens of deaf ears popped open.  Many people were activated into moving in the healing power of Jesus!  We hit the streets with hundreds of hungry believers and saw short legs grow out in public settings, people got delivered from demonic bondages, and others met Jesus for the first time!   

My heart has been gripped by this continent.  Please continue to pray for more divine connections, relationships, and opportunities for revival outpourings!  My health is great.  I am continually enjoying God´s presence and feeling sooooo blessed everywhere I go.  We have been continually blessed with places to stay and beyond.  I plan on coming back here often. 

In one meeting where I was preaching, I got a word of knowledge that God was touching a woman named Heather during ministry time.   I called the name out, noboby responded. I went on and saw others healed and utilized church members there to stay in the front and call out words too (something they had never done before).  They were getting accurate words and many people were instantly healed.  After a while a man stood and said he was just praying for his mom whose name was Heather and apologized for not standing.  Praying over the mic for a few seconds, he gets a text from his mom later that she was in the shower and was instantly healed at the time we prayed after the word of knowledge was given.  I was amazed at how good God is!
One of the leaders we got to pour into in Cape Town was powerfully touched while we were there.  He learned about soaking (enjoying the presence) and could not even get through the fire tunnel God was touching him so much.
 He ended up being so filled an activated in the miraculous he went down to a gas station after we left and just started calling out for people who needed healing.  Multiple people were healed and he is still going strong!  Revival for Africa!

Happy Papa!!!

My Father has revolutionized my life with joy. I have never felt Him so close as I do now. I have given up trying, and of recent I have seen Him do more in the areas of miracles and ministry than I could ever imagine. Trees don't try to bear fruit, they just do. I am enjoying God and in His enjoying me, the overflow is destroying the works of the enemy.

I just returned from a trip to the Middle East. Got to work in a refugee camp and speak in the most expensive private school in the region. We had a breakout of revival. Talking about the gospel is a sensitive issue here, but God can get around any sensitivity. The Kingdom of God is not a matter of mere talk but of power (1 Cor 4:20). Miracles speak louder than words when it comes to Christ's dominion. Among the healings, a teachers leg grew out as the students prayed for her. After seeing others healed, we invited a young man to the front and told him he was about to feel a word of knowledge for healing for someone in the room. He described a funny feeling above his stomach. A teacher responded for a problem with her pancreas. We had the student extend his hands toward her and she began to get drunk in the Spirit. The students broke into laughter at the sight of their teacher who said she had never experienced anything like this before. She also described a supernatural heat in the area of problem. No one had even touched her.

My favorite testimony from the trip was of an encounter a young man had.
This middle schooler was taken to heaven in a vision and gave testimony of the scenery and how Jesus came to him, told him how amazing he was, touched him and dissolved his sin from him, and returned to earth with him. Up until this point this young man had been a Muslim. I think his testimony qualifies as a born again experience! Yay GOD!
Thanks for your prayers during my trip!

The following links are testimonies I was involved in I found on Bethel's website... enjoy more JESUS!

Much Love to YOU!!!!! May God grant you to do even more to extend His Kingdom... I pray for a tangible touch of God's presence to come through this computer screen now and embolden you for works of power! I ask Father that the person reading this feel you like never before. You give the best hugs, Father.

Many Blessings,

Long Time... No see... To See.... To Hear

Recent Testimonies...

A man came into a meeting during a recent trip to Indiana.  At the time it was a question and answer period for pastors who wanted to God to invade their churches with His healing power.  This gentleman stands up during the meeting to ask a question over the mic (or so we think) only to start crying and talking about a tumor in his eye.  We realize that he is not a pastor, and is not asking a question.   He is a man desperate for a miracle.  Over the week we had seen tumors disolve, legs grow out, deaf ears open, and all manner of miracles.  He must have heard about all the stuff and just showed up.  The tumor had been causing significant blindness.  As we prayed over a few minutes, he wept but felt power going into his eye.  We decided to have him check it out.  We had him read the serial numbers on a dollar bill from a couple feet away.  Before prayer this would be impossible.  He was blind.... but now....... ha ha ha.... He could see!

I love it!

I leave for Israel tomorrow... pray this for me

Jesus rock Kris and rock me too!

Much Love

New Testimonies and Some Older Testimonies (from February email to friends)

GOD IS GOOD!!!
Jesus is Lord!

Trip to Social Circle, GA

My friend Rick felt the Lord prompting him to go to check out this fellowship of believers in GA this past weekend. I didn't really feel like going a ton, but God said I could go if I wanted. I wanted to support him so I went. Papa had some surprises up his sleeve! Walking into a gas station, I don't know why but I kept looking at this guy's foot as he walked out of the store. There was nothing visibly wrong, but I decided to ask him, "Hey is there anything wrong with your right foot?" He said he had a broken toe. I told him God was going to heal him as I invited Him to (Sometimes all Papa needs is an invitation - we already know He wants to). He tested out his foot and was shocked that it was better! Ha Ha!

That night, the leaders of the group empowered me to release some prophetic words over their youth. Papa showed up. One of the highlights (it was a stun for me too) was that as I looked at a kid I saw a picture of him behind the wheel of a vehicle. Out of my mouth popped, "Papa gave you a car!" He fell back like three steps and said he felt like something had hit him. His grandpa had just left him his truck in his will. The young man referred to his grandpa as Papa (add southern accent). Wow! I was just as stoked!

The next night the Lord touched different people through words of knowledge for healing. The family we stayed with in GA sent the following to me via email....
----------The men from Jupiter come bearing gifts...Miracles Break Out!---------------
Rick Branson and Kris Kildosher were also visiting for the first time. They are two spirit-filled surfers from Jupiter, Florida. Rick Branson had also been a professional athlete. He had a testimony of his own. Rick showed us his foot-long scar where doctors had removed most of his lung. God had miraculously and completely restored his lung capacity a few years before.. Kris Kildosher, his friend, is a student at Bethel School of Ministry. Kris began calling out specific words of knowledge about people that God was healing. He pointed in Kathy Weeks' direction and stated that God was restoring a deaf right ear. He added that the deafness was work-related and the person was hearing a crackling, popping sound as the ear was restored. Kathy Weeks raised her hand and suddenly felt a cracking and a popping in her right ear. The next morning, on August 3, Kathy Weeks woke up with TWO PERFECT EARS! May this encourage you to never to give in, give up or doubt the goodness of our God.!
YEAH GOD!!!!

A few weeks back an awesome woman of God came to share at our home fellowship, Lynn Barletta. At the end of the meeting she felt the Lord prompting her to invite me to speak at a fellowship she hosts in a nearby city. God's favor was all over it, and I felt His prompting to go. I asked if I could bring another fireball with me, Giovanni Merrin. Giovanni was a member of the Mormon church and got touched powerfully about 7 months ago with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. It is a blessing to have his radical faith as part of Living Waters (the home fellowship). He regularly has testimonies of casting devils out of co-workers, seeing people saved, healed and delivered! Lynn said that was fine.

Giovanni shared testimony about he and his fiance's diamond set in a ring had been growing in the Glory. They took it to the jeweler and had it tested to have documentation of its growth. Jesus can do whatever He wants and He is amazing! Hallelujah!

After that I shared some testimonies too and started to stand people up like I was going to prophesy over them and put Giovanni on the spot saying, "Giovanni, you have a word for them." He stepped out in radical faith and God, who wants to encourage people more than we do, came through and gave him accurate words of knowledge (insights he could not naturally know about people) and he greatly encouraged people in the Lord. I also had him get some words of knowledge for healing as well and we saw some individuals conditions healed instantly with out even praying! Sometimes it is good to demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ before preaching.

I ended up getting to share about a lifestyle of risk (John Wimber said faith is spelled "R-I-S-K") and encourage people to get radical for Jesus in sharing the Good News of the Kingdom of God. One of the wildest things was I spoke for well over 2 hours and people paid attention - that is a miracle for sure! I felt God's glory and the dunamis power of God flowing like waves. As I paused and waited on Him, He began to shake individuals throughout the room. He does shake everything that can be shaken - Ha Ha! People began to get drunk in the Spirit and laugh in His presence (Psalm 2:4 = He who sits in the heavens laughs, Psalm 16:11 = In Your presence is fullness of joy!) Yeah - Get some of that oil of joy on you right now too. Sho to to she be te. Jesus you are glorious! We don't have to make excuses for how good He is. JESUS!!

Keep drinking in His goodness!
The Lord began to involve the listeners as He told me there were two people there who had a word to share with someone else who had been prophesied over. He started showing where in the room conditions that He was healing were. The Lord was moving powerfully - I was so encouraged and found myself really drunk in the Spirit at times - take it!
The Lord did many great things including removing pains in the back and neck, growing out a leg (atleast one that I was around for) and I am sure other stuff as Giovanni went around and laid hands on people for an impartation of the gift of faith - something He carries dramatically. One time he drove on an empty tank for a couple of days on long trips because he believed God would provide. Papa always does! YEAH!!!





Older Testimonies from around February 2008!

I don't know how to post Testimonies from a few months ago so I figure I will add them here because they encourage me that God is better than we think!
Jesus wins once again! Over my vacation from Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry, the Lord invaded my life on numerous occassions. It all started on my flight from Redding, CA back to Jupiter, FL to visit my mom. Before my flight, I decided to sit with the Lord and get some words of knowledge and supernatural insights about the flight. On a piece of paper I wrote what I felt was from God. Not knowing my seat assignment, the list included row 17 (17C to be exact) and arthritic pain in the hands. At the airport a young man starts talking to me. We chat through the boarding process, and he is seated right in front of me. I am in row 17! I ask him about arthritic pain in his hands, and he describes a condition he has that is supposed to paralyze him or worse over the next 10 years. It debilitates his spine and all of his joints. I told him that as I put my hand on his shoulder, he would feel the power of God in his body. He began to describe a fire like heat that was running throught his spine. Jesus saves the day again! I then proceeded to give the lad an encouraging (prophetic) word from the heart of God that drove him to the brink of tears. Since he already knew the Lord as his personal Savior, I was able to change his conceptions about what Papa God is like - previously he thought God had given him the condition. I told him that God is good, the devil is bad. Health is good, sickness is bad. Therefore it is obvious were the sickness comes from - Not our all loving Papa. The devil is the one who steals, kills, and destroys. Through this whole ordeal, the man next to me is just listening. I turn to him and begin to give him an encouraging word from God which changes his countenance. He is a real new ager, never been to church, never read a Bible. He says to me I have an amazing aura of light around me. He does not want to receive prayer, but he just had an encounter with the love of God. Back home in Jupiter, I took a couple of friends out on a treasure hunt (where we get words of knowledge, write them out, and go to the location God gives us to find them). Among our clues we had 7-11 and back spasms. At the local 7-11 (its about 1 o'clock in the morning at this time) I ask a man if he has back spasms. He looks at me wide eyed and says, "I had one yesterday." I told him God was going to heal him and offered prayer. He received and felt fire on his back. I then gave him an encouraging word about his financial situation. We then shifted our attention to the worker behind the counter. She was actually the wife of the man we prayed for. She did not know the Lord and ended up meeting Him that night having a born-again experience. Whoop Whoop - Jesus scores again! On New Years Eve I really wanted to go to a house party (of the worldly kind) to bring the Kingdom of God. I showed up more drunk than everyone there. The presence of the Lord started to invade. Some of the girls really wanted to do naked chicken fights in the pool which is always supported by the guys, however without me saying a word, the Holy Spirit put an end to that. These friends don't even know me as a religious freak or anything, so I knew there were no barriers to the invasion God had planned. I got to pray for one friend for a creative miracle in his knee that I have seen God do in the past. Being backslidden, I told him God was not mad at him but infact liked him alot. I then shifted my attention to another friend and gave him a word from the Father which touched his heart making him very emotional. Then I got to give sove dream interpretations to some kids who I felt dreamed alot. They were stunned by the accuracy and asked how I got such insights. I told them the Holy Spirit talks to me like we are talking now, and He came into my life when Jesus did. I gave a another dude a word he knew was from God because of a word of knowledge I had and slipped out because the host had passed out. The next night two of the kids from the party showed up at a house meeting. During worship, the Holy Spirit moved on one of the lads and took him to the floor laughing and crying in a big puddle of tears. He had never been around a meeting like this and had no paradigm for what was happening to him. A few minutes later he manifested a demon which got booted out by Holy Ghost power, and he received a mighty baptism in the Spirit. He is now part of the family of God at a house church which I serve at back in FL. Hallelujah!!! Another night, at a meeting I gave out a few words of knowledge for healing and broke the group up to pray and prophesy over eachother. I gave one woman a word about Jesus romancing her and bringing her back to when she was 18. While giving this word, she began to get glory dust or glitter all around her lips and on her neck. Holy Spirit confirmed the word with signs and wonders - ha ha! Another day I was going to a more family friendly party where God told me some pastors would be. One of them took me aside to ask about Bethel as he had seen it on TBN. He asked a question about why there and not in his backyard. God gave me a word of wisdom that kinda sidetracked his question but spoke to his spirit. He grabbed me and put me infront of some other leaders. I began to equip some of them in healing sharing testimonies and discussing the word of knowlege. When I shared some things about legs growing out, a woman said her leg was short. I told her husband to pray for it and told him that it would grow out. It did of course (maybe to his surpise). We then went after a few other healings as I called out a word of knowledge at the party (probably scaring some of the more conservative types). The prophetic annointing began to really flow and a couple of groups of people got words from Papa's heart leading to tears. One of the sweet highlights was a back healing where not only did the guy being prayed for got healed, but a man just standing to the side said he felt the power heal his back too even though he was not receiving prayer nor did he respond to a word of knowledge. Ha Ha - Jesus! Another day, I spoke at a church to some youth, they got touched as the annointing got really thick in the room as I shared stories of trips into heaven with Jesus. Then I got to pray for healing for a few people by the word of knowledge. After the meeting a friend and I went to Denny's. Sitting at the booth, I got a couple of insights into sicknesses in the room by words of knowledge. I decided to stand up and announce to the restaurant that God was there to heal and demonstrate His love and announced the different conditions. The annointing hit like a bomb. I invited people over for prayer. A little girl was the only person who responded but she was immeadiately healed. I watched as the other conditions walked past me on their way out trying to avoid eye contact with me. It was funny because the conditions that I called out including deafness and hip problems were all held by Christians, but something in their life kept them from comming over for prayer and a miracle. yikes! But I loved the fact that a little child was the one who entered the Kingdom. Lets never let our ego keep us from an invasion of God. All in all there were anywhere from 30-50 miracles over the trip home as well as many being equipped in the miraculous and prophetic. God is amazing and He wants to invade your life the same way right now. If you took the time to read this then you are getting an impartatin for the same things to happen to you! Jesus, I pray that you would surround my friend with your love. Increase your Kingdom in their midst. Grant them the desires of their heart as they abide in yours. Power Power Power. Firery Love of God flow. Increase your annointing even now, Papa. Bless You, Amen More recently, I took a trip with our family to minister in a church in Washington state. While there we saw radical miracles and salvations. We prayed for a family who did not believe in the Lord but the mom had a tumor the size of a softball in her belly which was going to take 90% of her stomach or worse as she was to be operated on later that week. We prayed and she began to feel her stomach go numb with heat when she had been at a pain level of 8 while on narcotics (she was a nurse). Hallelujah!While praying for her I got a word of knowledge for fluid problems in the inner ear as well as circulatory problems. A woman there had the ear problem. I saw an angel in the spirit right infront of her so I told her to take a step forward. When she did, the annointing hit her and her ear immeadiately drained with fluid. Hallelujah! The woman who had cancer's husband had the circulatory problem as well as back problems (from another word of knowledge). I began to prophesy over him and the Lord revealed the secrets of his heart. This 6' 6'' atleast football player was transformed as the annointing of God soaked his heart and body. I grabbed his hands and asked him to pray with me. I led him in a prayer of receiving forgiveness of sin and Jesus as his savior and Lord. He sobbed and could barely get the words out as the power of the enemy was loosed from his life. We then proceeded to prophesy over the various family members present. The next day they all came to church and commented on how their entire family had changed. Even their kids were respectful. JESUS!!!! During the morning service we probably gave out atleast 15 words of knowledge for healing. One word given was for deafness and the name Andy. Andy who wore two hearing aids came up for prayer. God took him out as I layed hands on him and commanded deafness to leave his body. He spent the next while on the floor. Another person who responded to deafness was also taken out by the power of God and wept with his wife on the floor. Another person responded to asthma was miraculously healed. James prayed for another who got two new knees from torn ACLs from high school football and got taken out by the power of God and caught up into a vision. He came back just weeping in Father's love. Another man got set free from a spirit of suicide screaming it out and weeping as I sang a prophetic song in his ear about Papa's love for him. Hallelujah Jesus! Later that night, our team all spoke and the Holy Spirit settled heavily on the congregation. The Lord told me to share on an encounter I had with His glory and then I preached on the cross, the power of His blood to eliminate sin, and the promise of the Holy Spirit offered to us. I had some words of knowledge but the Lord told me to just say "Lord, let your fire fall." I told the congregation that as the Holy Spirit began to move on the congregation, healings would simply occur in His glory and people would feel heat touch their bodies where they needed it. I then said Let Your Fire Fall Lord. I stood and waited in silence as the Lord swept over the congregation. These believers were "charismatic" believers but were not accustomed to what God was about to do. Some were trying to avoid what God was going to do, but to no avail. Suddenly a section of the audience burst into laughter. Many started to shake and sweat as fire fell. One heavy set young man began to bounce in his seat in a way that had to be God because frankly it is impossible to bounce like that when sitting or I don't know how you could. Many emotional and physical healings took place as the room erupted into laughter and weeping and uncontrollable sweating and shaking and everything. Frankly, it seemed like chaos for the natural mind, but from God's perspective all was in order just like on pentecost. Holy Spirit is so GOOD! The next day I went to hang out with some friends in Redding and they asked about the weekend of ministry. As I shared the testimony of God's fire, They began to get slammed by the fire of God. Ended up giving a few more words of knowledge and a few legs grew which were uneven from the other leg either from injury or just not growing right. I could keep going.... Jesus is so GOOD. To Him be all the glory!

Some thoughts about the Supernatural Nature of God

Jesus said, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" or in other words. You better change the way you think and act because I brought my world with me. In heaven there is no hatred, no sickness, no addiction, no fear, no pain. Jesus said, "Our Father, who is in heaven, holy is Your Name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, ON EARTH as it is in Heaven." Jesus welcomed us into relationship with the King of the Universe on the same level of intimacy as Him - "Our Father". One who was pure and blameless with no reason for displeasure from God was beaten, broken, marred, and shamed so that we could have the communion with God that HE deserved. Until recent I really did not understand the work of the cross and covenant. God made a covenant with Abraham making him the father of many nations. The covenant involved the splitting of various animals whose blood served as an agreement - kinda morbid. But when you understand that this meant do unto me likewise if I do not keep my end of the bargain you understand the symbolism of the act of sacrifice. All along, God knew He would have to provide Himself as payment of a broken covenant and in so doing make a new one welcoming people of broken soul to be made whole and of broken body to be made well. Jesus Christ crucified for our every error and ill - Resurected to demonstrate His dominion still. Ha Ha!



He came to destroy the works of the devil. He commissioned us to do the same. "As the Father sent me, so I send you." When we receive the gift of His sacrifice and trust in His resurection we begin a life abiding in Him. A new birth enabling us access to God in the same dimension that He had. He said signs and wonders would follow those who believe.



My eyes have been opened to the inheritance purchased for me.



If you need a miracle, a healing, a touch from God, His presence is near. Take a risk, touch the screen and He will touch you. He is healing your heart and pain is leaving your head. His goodness is near to the oppressed. He loves you!

Testimonies from recent trip to SoCAL

Last week I traveled to SoCal (my inheritance) for a graduation and a wedding. Here are a few things that happened.

During a layover in Atlanta, I asked the Lord where I should sit believing Him for an encounter. I sat down where He showed me and a girl came within a minute or two and sat right next to me. Usually people leave a seat or two so I knew something was about to happen. Since she was attractive I figured she would think I was hitting on her, but I didn't really care because I knew the Holy Spirit really wanted to hit on her with His love. I talked to her for a moment and then had a small vision. I asked her if she liked to oil paint. She was like, "that is crazy that you ask that." I told her God had shown me her doing an oil painting. She responded, "you are going to make me cry." I encouraged her a little more and then the Lord showed me more. I said, "When you were 12 I saw you go up to an altar call and commit your life to the Lord." She asked me, "Are you a psychic?" I said, "No, God knows everything about you and He just showed me something because He loves you." I had her hold out her hands and ask the Holy Spirit to fill her. She began to get drunk in the spirit laughing and fanning her face as the fire of God came over her. Jesus strikes again! She had an encounter with Papa's Love.

Later that week I was with a friend who leads a youth group in SoCal. We went on outreach at the Irvine Spectrum and he gave me two middle schoolers to chill with. Jordan (14) and Jacqueline (13, I hope I spelled it right) were radical revivalists. They ended up prophesying over different individuals and praying for healing. One woman had knee pain, ankle pain and swelling, and back pain leave as well as had a leg grow out infront of spectators as Jesus invaded her life.

The night before my friend's wedding, we were with him praying over him at a hotel. A group of middle eastern women watched us and the Lord told me to go pray for one of them. She told me that her son had just died. My heart broke for hers. But the Kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Righteousness for sin, Peace for mental and soul trauma, and Joy for healing. She ended up receiving healing in her back through a word of knowledge. Then, I noticed my other buddies had jumped on the oppurtunity and were ministering to the other women around. The Lord told me to not have them simply recite a prayer but to simply love on them. After a little while I got to share about how Jesus Christ was more than a prophet (as they were Muslim), but the very Son of God. I shared about the atonement in a concise way and looked the one woman in the eye and told her, "Your sins are forgiven" She began to weep. We parted ways with a hug (not acceptable to their culture but Jesus breaks all cultural barriers). My friends ended up prophesying over the other women and I believe about 5 ailments were reported to be healed. Ha Ha!

Later in the week I was surfing at the Huntington Beach Pier. I love to surf with the Holy Ghost. When I came in I felt like a Jamba Juice (God gives me words of knowledge through food alot "Go to Jamba Juice"). Out front was a little latino woman in a wheelchair. God said he was going to give me great favor with her. I walked over and after some small talk asked if I could pray over her because I knew God wanted to heal her. She told me she had polio and pain throughout her body but invited me to pray. I put my hand on her shoulder and commanded the devil of infirmity to leave her in Jesus Christ's name (I think I just said "infirmity GO" but I want it to be clear that what she was suffering from was a devil). She felt heat and electricity all over her body and felt a shift. She said she had had many people pray for her but had never felt such a thing. She then wanted me to pray for her son for God's grace to come on his life. Her husband came then with their smoothies. I ended up getting to prophesy over him too and encourage him in Papa's Love. She got out of her wheelchair and started to walk around with a big smile, recognizing that spirit had left her body. She was elated and thanked me and praised Jesus for her healing!!!

Later that night, my friend was ministering in a church in SoCal and invited me to come along. His middle schoolers were the ministry team. After he preached for a bit about taking risks and shared some awesome testimonies, he released the kids to minister. They began to call out words such as, "God is healing deafness in the right ear," and, "the Lord wants to touch a woman named Sally (or something like that)." Those who responded ended up getting healed of back pain and a few had migrane headaches. They each received personal ministry as well.
I ended up getting a word about people there from Anaheim and multiple people responded (we were over an hour from Anaheim). The Lord gave me another word about a woman in her 30's that was being healed of diverticulitis (a kind of intestinal disorder, I only know the name). A woman responded and was said she felt the pain leave and got healed of a few other conditions through the word of knowledge. Then I got a word about bumps on someone's knees. This same woman leaped up, "my husband, my husband" She got him on the cell phone as he was not in the meeting, and I prayed over the phone and he felt the power of God and testified that he was healed! Jesus heals over the cell phone!!! Another woman got her friend on the phone who had terrible problems with the knees and was bound to a wheelchair. She got out of the wheelchair and walked around - NO PAIN!!! JESUS!!!! We are not sure how many people received healing and deliverance that night but we estimate around 40 or more. God is good!!!
