Stage four bladder cancer bows to Jesus!

With God all things are possible!!!- Matthew 19:26
 
I had the honor and privledge of going on an amazing trip to Ramona, Ca with some absolutely amazing Jesus lovers back in December. One of the night services this amazing man came in who was pale as a ghost very skinny and lifeless looking. He had Bladder Cancer I believe it was stage four a handful of us prayed over him and loved on him. He felt God's tingly presence all over from head to toes. He could feel heat and then numbness leave his body which was one of his symptoms of his cancer. LEAVING.. hahaha. I think we then laughed over him. He said he was feeling great as if jumping on springs. Life and color were back in his skin and countanence!! Come on Jesus! He told of what God was doing and that he would have a check up with his cancer doctor in January.
Well he just emailed me and you would be happy to hear that Rich said,
"How great to hear from you...God is Great...I had my appt. with my cancer 
Doctor three weeks ago and cancer free. "
COME ON!!!!!!! Jesus is soooooooooo amazingly in love with people!!!

Jesus heals cancer because He is that GOOD!!!!

It is impossible to exagerate God's Goodness! He is amazing!


On Thursday a team of first years, another second year and I always go out to visit sick people, love on them, and pray for them. We always pray expecting that today is the day of complete healing and restoration in the person we are withs life. We ask God to show us how He sees them and we pray from the place of God's amazing love and compassion for that person. We have an unshakable conviction that it is always in God's will to heal and that it is His pleasure and we don't have to beg Him to do anything so this time is usually full of prophetic words, listening to stories, and laughter. Knowing we are partnering with heaven and that the person is going to be set free.
This Thursday we met this wonderful and absolutely precious woman named Susanne she captivated us with her deep eyes, simplicity, and HUGE heart. She told us last Monday she flew into Redding from Australia being her last hope. Her cancer was at a stage four and spread all the way throughout many parts of her body ovaries, liver, kidneys, bone. She came to Redding as a last resort saying she knew she would go home well or in a body bag. We told her TODAY WAS HER DAY to be completely healed!
So we prophecied over her future, released God's presence, washed her feet, and loved on her. It was a great time of getting to know her and seeing God move. Some pain left her right side, she felt some strength come back into her body, and pain leave her left wrist. She also felt an enormous amount of peace where the cancer was. She told us when she got healed she would go skiing in the States with her son who was here. I left believing all her breakthrough would continue and I felt within that week she would be looking into returning to Australia. Two days afterwords I saw Mama Beni's facebook status said, "Highlight of my day talking to woman who was healed of cancer, she is now going skiing with her son." As I read this I said to myself "I think this is her!!" I emailed Beni a description of her and yes it was Susanne!!! COME ON Jesus!
God is so good and in LOVE with people! It is always His will and heart to see our lives completely restored. If you need a miracle Jesus is releasing it right now, take it :) Go after the impossible, because nothing is impossible with God.
LOVE YOU!

Sled accidents and miracles

Miracles are easier than we think, of course God wants to show up in power always. He is so in love with His kids!

Today I was out sledding with my revival group and I being adventerous and daring decided to go down this steep bumpy hill with my friend Emily. Often I just get very exciting and do things without thinking this was one of those moments. With our revival group looking on and a couple of words of advice from a friend on sledding we decided to go down this dangerous hill. I thought if we lost control all we would do is ditch the sled and roll. Our ride did not go as expected. Maybe 40 feet down the hill Emily flew off the sled we were both on, as we hit a really really hard bump. I remember seeing her behind me 3 feet in the air.  I went flying on the sled completely losing control and unable to ditch the sled, next I landed on my neck bounced and hit my head and back. I remember blacking out for maybe 10 seconds and looking up to see people come check on me. Over the next 20 minutes my back and neck hurt a lot and I wasn't thinking super clearly which involved a random paramedic, weird questions, almonds, prayer and very horrible neck and back pain. On a scale of 1 to 10 my pain was like an 8. Anywho as my friends prayed my mind went back to normal and all the pain left and I could move my neck again!! COME ON!! That was really good news because some people were thinking maybe I should go to the hospital.

Then my RG and myself went to go get espresso, pizza, and other dishes where all the snowborders prepare to hit the snow. At this time I was pretty fired up after my back and neck feeling better. So my friend Dawn began to pray for a man's knee and I saw the woman behind the cash register had a cast I prayed for her and prophecied over her. She couldn't tell if her arm was better because she currently didn't have pain. I encouraged her the pain wouldn't come back.
Then me and Dawn went outside and prophecied over some women just telling them how God saw them. They were rocked by God's love for them and laughed and hugged us for a few minutes. Next I felt like there was a person who had knee and lower back pain so we went for a walk. I looked over during our walk to ask two men if they had back and knee pain. One of them said his neck hurt. The other guy asked why we were asking. I told him because we had seen God do miracles just a few minutes before and felt like maybe one of them had that pain. He said he had neck and back pain and ended up telling us it was chronic and at a level 9. We prayed a quick prayer over him. We asked him to get up and do something he couldn't do before and looked at us shocked that all the pain was GONE!! Both his neck and back completely healed. His friends neck pain went from a 5 to a 1. We had to leave with our RG so we quickly told them God was so in love with them and would continue to encounter him with His love.


I think sometimes we think of representing God to the world as this hard thing. That bringing His kingdom to earth involves lots of travail, pushing, and effort or maybe even that God only uses certain types of people. I would like to propose to you that it is a lot easier than we think to live a supernatural lifestyle and that is available to EVERY Christian. I would love to inspire you to take new risks and ask God what is going on with the people around you what pains might they have in their bodies and what He loves about them. And ask them if they have those pains and tell them what God says about them. You can't fail! God will always show up.. and the world is so hungry to encounter God's love! Go for it!

Ohio is for lovers and stories of provision.

I remember somewhere back in June.
BURNING to go to second year and I was penniless absolutely broke. ABSOLUTELY BROKE.
Searching for a job back home in Ohio.
And right then I had a choice to make. "am I going to stay here in Toledo and work and save and maybe go back to school in a few years or can I dream the impossible in the misdt of tons of people giving me advice and "wisdom" trying to talk me out of second year because of my finances ect.."
But though my wallet and bank account were empty my heart was full of dreams and my mind packed with testimonies of an extravagant God who gives good gifts to his kids!
But when we dare to dream.. He meets us.
When we step out... He brings himself. The answer to every problum.
The one who invades impossibilities with CRAZY solutions.
I refuse to believe I could ever have a need he wouldn't meet.
God is so in love with us, and as we drink in that love. Impossibilities really begin to look logical. ha!

It is God's good pleasure to give us His kingdom. Luke 12:32

I don't believe I can out dream God.

I remember just remembering all of these impossible situations in my life and saying in my heart "I refuse to empower any mindsets that say I live in a kingdom of lack where dreams don't come true."

And since then
I got a job or one job twice in two different states ;)
crazy amounts of provision..
Checks from strangers
Random payments on my tuition in the form of 100s of dollars
my tuition almost entirely paid from gifts and work
people raised up around me who really believe in me..
it is crazy
crazy crazy the gifts of God I am so thankful, rocked, humbled by the grace and love of GOD!!
Through His people!
I just want to thank you for believing in my life!



He just wants to show off His love in crazy ways.
Take it my breakthroughs are yours!!

PS. I will be in Colombus, Ohio in Feburary I am going to be part of a healing conference with Chris Gore and Joaquin Evans. It is such an honor to go on this trip and think about serving what god is doing in Ohio! It feels good to know I will be "home" or 2 hours from there, justthe thought of a real gyro or Tim Horton's make me smile. I really also believe there is nothing like seeing God move at "home" such an honor.. oh and I will be able to probably see some people I love such as my dad and George and Sarah.

I am writing again here is just a taste a piece of a spoken word.

 I often find you,
Serenading me with the finest love songs of promise and security
leaving me with an expectancy for all
my dreams to come true
And i know your hope
That I have
So eagerly hoped in
Could never DISAPPOINT me.
YOU ARE EXCEDINGLY BEYOND
All my vivid childish imaginations
HERE I am safe wrapped in your arms, God.
complete.

God is so good at His job.. we don't have to be!

"I believe the BIGGEST MOVE OF GOD this world has ever seen is sitting in your chair."

I was relaxing today after work (Del Taco) and I was cooking a very yummy black bean theryiaki turkey burger with avacado and provolone cheese on a whole wheat bun.. yum. I was thinking of God's goodness and how He transforms our mind and we find that we no longer have certain mindsets we use to. I'm sure everyone of you have experience that. I was thinking of how in recent months (the last 6 especially) it has become a lot easier for me to be confident when I pray God is going to show up which has really become a "no brainer," especially when I have an awareness of his goodness. Or even when I don't pray, for example when a circumstance comes across my path to just absolutely know God is going to rock it.. why because he is really good at his job.. really good.. so good in fact we don't have to be!! THAT'S GOOD NEWS!

We don't have to beg God and say "please heal so and so from such and such disease they have been so so good please God please ect." No it is his will to heal, He is so in love with the person in front of you and wants them to be well even more than you do.

 God wants to show up we don't have to say, "God please show up at church today." Bam God showed up when He sent his son to live inside of you now everywhere you go he is there changing the world through you. God is so in love with us we don't have to beg, pled, or earn anything from him. He has given it all to us freely as an inheritance we are His kids.

 He showed me that when I come into work my manager doesn't have to worry about "is Naomi going to take orders today, will she clean the tables, sweep the floor, stock, how about greet customers will she do that I wonder...hmmmmm...?" No.. she doesn't have to because she knows I will that it's my job, and I want to be there. Same way with God except more so He REALLY wants to do what is in his nature provide, heal, restore, cleanse.. ect. He is in love and he never changes ever! He loves being Him it's really natural for Him lol.

God is so good at what he does it is His nature to love, perform miracles, grow out limbs, take away pain, set people free, release joy, transform lives, businesses, families, nations, ect.. He is so good at his job it really really really takes the pressure off of us. It's so good! He's so good!
