¡Tres Meses en Colombia!

  Mis Amigos, 


Estoy escribiendo para ponerte al día de lo que Dios ha estado haciendo en mi vida y para contarte las cosas emocionantes que están por venir! Quiero contarte las cosas que Dios está haciendo en mi vida y contarte la siguiente fase de mi vida.

Una Escuela Recibe a Cristo

Los estudiantes reciben a Cristo por primera vez

Durante mi viaje a Medellín, Colombia, fuimos a una escuela en la cual muchos estudiantes son prostitutas o están usando drogas. En el auditorio, más o menos 400 personas recibieron a Cristo y muchas más personas recibieron milagros, gozo o el poder de Dios. ¡Dios es muy bueno y todo el mundo tiene hambre de Dios! 

¡No más sordos y ciegos! 

¡Nuestro grupo de mi iglesia Bethel en Redding fuimos un peligro para Medellín! En la parte de la sierra, predicamos el evangelio y dos personas que eran sordos y otra que era ciega recibieron sanidad. Dios hizo muchos milagros y treinta personas recibieron a Cristo. Dios quiere encontrarse con la gente en los lugares que están llenos de oscuridad. ¡Nosotros somos la luz del mundo! Tenemos esa cosa que el mundo quiere. 

¿Cuál es el siguiente paso para Naomi West? 

¡Gracias por preguntar!

¡Este hombre ya no necesita los audífonos!

Como probablemente ya sabes, he estado viviendo en Redding California, desde el 2009. En el 2012 me gradué de la escuela de ministerio de Bethel y desde entonces Dios ha estado abriendo puertas para que viaje y haga ministerio itinerante, equipando el cuerpo de Cristo global a través de impartición, activación y predicación. He estado viajando una media de una o dos veces al mes y he hecho amistades de pacto por todo el mundo. Soy parte de la comunidad itinerante de la iglesia de Bethel (Bethel Activation Ministry), la cual cubre a aquellos que han sido preparados para representar la iglesia de Bethel de una forma itinerante. ¡Amo esta comunidad y continuaré siendo parte de ella! 

Como muchos de vosotros sabéis, durante los últimos cinco años he pasado mucho tiempo ministrando y haciendo misiones en Latino América. He tenido el honor de traer el cielo a la tierra y de ver a los enfermos sanados, gente nacer de nuevo y la iglesia ser activada con un estilo de vida del Reino. 

Mis últimos viajes a Latino América se han sentido cada vez menos como una tierra extranjera y más como mi segundo hogar. Mi entendimiento y mi habilidad de hablar Español ha crecido mucho especialmente en los últimos tres años. He estado soñando con ir a un país de Latino América para una visita más larga, desde el 2010. Durante dos años atesoré ese sueño en mi corazón y oré sobre ello pero en Mayo del 2012 ¡algo sucedió cuando fui a Bogotá, Colombia por primera vez! En ese viaje vimos a Dios iluminar una ciudad con Su poder. Conocí a algunos de los creyentes más humildes y hambrientos que jamás había conocido. Recuerdo en una pequeña campaña, vimos a 150 personas nacer de nuevo poderosamente a través de la hermosa iglesia Colombiana. Recuerdo la mirada en los ojos de mis amigos Colombianos cuando se dieron cuenta de que ellos también podía caminar en el Poder del Evangelio. 

¿Qué estaré haciendo en Bogotá?

Hay muchas puertas abiertos para el Reino en Colombia. Estaré trabajando junto a una iglesia llamada “La Casa” y ellos me estarán proveyendo de una habitación donde quedarme. Estaré trabajando junto con ellos para predicar en una conferencia, ministrar a prostitutas y drogadictos de forma semanal, entrenar a gente en evangelismo y hacer ministerio en una escuela con 600 jóvenes. Estas son sólo algunas de las formas que estaré invirtiendo en la nación. También planeo estar viajando un poco por el país trabajando con otros amigos e iglesias. Creo que este viaje es un viaje para explorar posibilidades que llevarán a estrategias para impactar Latino América a largo plazo con el Reino de Dios! 

¿Cómo podemos trabajar juntos? 

Estoy muy agradecida por las oraciones y por las personas que creen en mi vida. ¡Tus oraciones mueven el cielo y la tierra!

Por favor ora por mi viaje: 

- Puertas abiertas

- La Casa Iglesia

- Finanzas para mi viaje

- Mi salud

- El avivamiento en Bogotá y en Colombia.

Yo estoy muy emocionada por la aventura y estoy muy contenta por mi comunidad y la familia en Cristo. Para mis tres meses en Colombia, necesitaré $6800 (dólares US) para el 28 de Julio. Esto cubre mi comida, transporte, gastos telefónicos, vuelos dentro del país, dinero de emergencia y gastos en Estados Unidos durante mi ausencia. Donativos para este viaje son una buena inversión en el reino de Dios y también en mi vida. Estoy muy agradecida por las oraciones y por los donativos para mi ministerio. ¡Gracias de antemano a todos!

Se que cada dólar dado impactará el Reino de Dios y tocará Colombia. ¡Estoy muy emocionada por esta oportunidad de que tú y yo trabajemos juntos para ver el Reino de Dios invadir Colombia!

Naomi West Ministry Update and Testimonies

Dear Friends,

I am writing to update you about what God has been doing in my life and to tell you about the exciting things that are next!!


 A few things God has been doing: 

School Saved

Students standing to receive salvation

During my last trip to Colombia our team of 25 was invited to come speak in two assemblies at a public high school. Many of these students were hit men or prostitutes. We came to tell them of a good God who wants to meet them right where they are. I shared my personal testimony and told them about Jesus the Son of God who while they were still sinners died for them and reconciled them back to the Father. We told them about a God who was an extravagant Father who they could know intimately, after we shared the Gospel message we asked them to stand to their feet if they wanted to receive Jesus.  ALMOST ALL OF THEM DID! God's Spirit came and invaded that high school assembly. All over the room God was healing bodies and people were repenting. His Spirit was so present in that assembly. Around 400 students came into a relationship with God in both meetings.

Deaf Ears Open, Blind Eyes See

This young man is holding the hearing aids that he no longer needs

Our lovely team took a bus to a very dangerous part of Medellin, Colombia called La Sierra. We knew God's power wanted to invade this place. We were asked to invite people to this Christian Soccer game. I asked if at any point during the game we could preach the Gospel and heal the sick. I was told we could. We walked around for 20 minutes and we were supposed to be inviting people to the game. I was with my good Colombian friend Ana Maria. We were going from door to door trying to pray for people. Next I met this guy who was leaning against a bike. He would not make eye contact with me. It appeared he may be blind. I wasn't sure so I asked him. He said he was. We prayed a quick prayer for him and he began to see!! He could count fingers that were being held in front of him as well as he began to describe in details his surroundings.

After the man's blind eyes were healed a shop keeper found us and asked for us to pray for his deaf daughter. We met that wonderful family. Their 18 year old daughter was entirely deaf from birth. We prayed for her and she began to hear sounds, noises, her mothers voice. She was able to hear way more than before! I was so rocked by God. He showed up in this very remote dangerous part of Colombia.

God Invaded an Infamous Drug Neighborhood

For our team to even enter this neighborhood we had to pay a bribe. As we walked up I was told who the Drug Lords were and where they were standing. I began to get a prophetic word for one of them and talked to him for 20 minutes. The next day he came 30 minutes to the church we were at because he was hungry for more of God!

Then it was time to preach the gospel at the soccer game. One of my good friends Sophie and I tag-teamed preaching the gospel, 30 people in total were saved at La Sierra that day! And dozens of bodies were healed!

Our Friend Felipe
after he received breakthrough

Paralyzed boy Meets a Good God

We also met this amazing young man named Felipe who was 22 years old. Two years before we met him, he had an accident and became paralyzed from above the belly button all the way down. A group of us prayed for him in his home and he was able to begin to feel his feet for the first time in two years!! He was shocked as God healed his equilibrium and he was able to move around more than he could before! WOW God is amazing!!!

What is next for Naomi West?

I am so glad you asked!

As you probably know I have been living in Redding Ca, since 2009. I graduated three years of Bethel School of Ministry in 2012. Since then God has opened many doors for me to travel itinerately, equipping the global body of Christ through impartation, activation, and preaching. I have been traveling on average once or twice a month and have made covenant friends all over the planet. I am a part of Bethel Church's Itinerate community, Bethel Activation Ministry, which is a covering for those who have been released to represent Bethel Church at an itinerate capacity. I love this community and will continue to remain a part of it!


As many of you know, I have been spending a lot of time doing ministry and missions in Latin America over the last five years. I have had the honor to partner with heaven to see the sick healed, many born again, and the church activated in a Kingdom Lifestyle. 

My last few trips to Latin America have felt less like a foreign land and more like a second country or a second home. My understanding and ability to speak Spanish has grown a lot especially in the past three years.  I have been dreaming of going to a Latin American country for a more long term visit since 2010. For two years I treasured that dream in my heart and prayed into it. But in May 2012 something happened, for the first time I went to Bogota, Colombia! On that trip we saw God literally light up a city with His power. I encountered some of the humblest and hungriest believers I have ever met. I remember in just one small outreach we saw 140 people powerfully born again through the Beautiful Colombian Church. I remember the look in my Colombian friends' eyes as they realized they too could walk in the Power of the Gospel. 

Ever since that day in Bogota in 2012 I haven’t been able to shake God’s fire for Colombia. I have returned on a few occasions and everywhere I go, the people are so hungry for God! For the past few years I haven’t been able to stop dreaming about this nation.  I have made  a decision under my community and pastors at Bethel to go to Colombia from the beginning of August to beginning of November. I am compelled to go.

What will I be doing in Bogota? 

There are a lot of open doors for the Kingdom in Colombia. I will be coming alongside a church called La Casa. They will be providing me a room to stay in. I will be coming alongside them to speak at a conference, minister to prostitutes and drug addicts weekly, train people in evangelism, and do ministry in their Christian school of 600 youth. These are just some of the many ways I will be pouring into the nation. I also plan on traveling a little bit in the country and partnering with some other friends and churches too. I believe this trip is a scouting trip that will lead to long term strategies for impacting Latin America with the Kingdom of God!

How can we partner together?

I am so grateful to all those who pray and believe in my life because I know prayer moves heaven!! 

Please Pray into this trip for:

            - Open doors

            - La Casa Church

            - Finances to come in quickly

            - For long lasting fruit

            - My personal health 

            - That Bogota would be touched by God like never before

            

I am very excited to be taking this adventure and am so glad to know my community and family in Christ backs me up! For my three months stay I need to raise $6800 by July 28th. That will cover my food, transport, phone, in country flight, toiletries, emergency money, and my expenses in the States. I know that giving towards this trip will be a good investment into the Kingdom of God. I am so grateful for everyone who has given in the past into my life through encouragement, prayer, or financially. I am grateful for every gift.

           I know every dollar given will impact God’s Kingdom and touch Colombia. I am excited for this opportunity for you and I to partner together to see God invade Colombia!

Colombia Crusade Testimonies 2014

Thank you to everyone who prayed and gave!! 

Hello and thank you to everyone who prayed and supported our trip to Colombia in February. It was my second time in Colombia. I went for around a week to Sincelejo, Colombia with a team of 39 people! We were from five continents total! I also was able to see a few of my close friends who don’t live in Redding as well. We did a crusade and us from the BAM team each had an opportunity to preach three times in night services. We also did a conference during the day for pastors, leaders, and worship leaders. God moved BIG time and this was personally one of my favorite ministry trips. 

During the first night of the crusade around 100 people were born again and during the second night around 300 were born again. God did hundreds if not thousands of miracles. Our team also was featured on the radio, television, and newspaper. We were able to share testimonies and call out words of knowledge. 

We did an outreach time and they arranged for us to preach with a small sound system in the plaza. I took a team of 8 or so by taxi. It was this large plaza with lots of trees, beautiful people, food and trinkets being sold everywhere. At first I was highlighted to this guy who had crutches. I approached him and asked why he had crutches he had a prosthetic leg. I began to tell him about a guy the night before at our church service who had been healed of 15 years of back, neck, and stomach pain! As I told him I was aware there were people listening who I was talking to, so I began to look into their eyes and share testimonies. As we did a small crowd gathered and I began to raise my voice and more came. First 8 people were healed mainly of back pain. Our team began to pray for people and tons of people received miracles in the crowd. We preached the cross and salvation then went after healing and repeated. A crowd of 80 plus gathered and miracles were breaking out everywhere. Including a guy who just broke part of his ankle and was coming from the doctors with his x-ray in his hand was totally pain free! In total on the street that day at least 30 people received Jesus as their Personal Savior.

The next day we went back out on the streets again and I saw around 10 guys sitting on a wall in the plaza. I approached them and began to loudly tell them testimonies of what God was doing. Before we knew it a crowd had gathered on every side of about 100 people. I stood on a wall so I could project my voice loudly. We saw God do 50 plus miracles most of them without anyone praying. God opened up deaf ears and blind eyes. At one point our crowd began to disperse while a second year student was powerfully preaching. I went to figure out what happened to the crowd. I saw they were gathered around the witch doctor. I hopped up where the student was preaching and asked him to stop for a second. I began making declarations of how Jesus Christ was the most powerful power, kindest, most loving, generous, ect. The crowd came back and the witch left. Next we said, “God’s Presence is here in a physical tangible way. You are going to begin to feel Him in heat, power, ect. Raise your hand if you do.” Every hand went up! Over 30 people were born again. 

Also during one of the outreach times one of the girls on our team felt lead to go to the police station with her group. The police station invited them to share the Gospel with 200 officers in training. They were super rocked by the Good News!!

Thank you so much for praying into this trip and everyone who gave into the crusade to see heaven invade earth. I am believing our breakthroughs in Colombia are your breakthrough in your city. I am praying and believing for a harvest where you are!! 

These were his instructions to them; “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. Luke 10:2

Fall Update!!

"Somebody call the police because signs and wonders are following me."

Yes, I did think that quote was clever. I believe I first said that after a recent miracle outbreak somewhere. Hello friends from all over the world!!  Hope all is extraordinary in your life. It has been a great season for me. Summer has been full of catching up with friends, relaxing, and some ministry trips. I recently got back from an incredible trip to Panama. I was personally blown away by God in worship and had some life changing encounters with the Lord. Also I  had a blast with our team there and the new friends I met. Panama is such a hungry nation, so ripe for revival. We did a healing conference with about 400 attendees. Some of the miracles were 10 salvations, a 50 year old women who was deaf in one ear from birth was totally healed, sciatic pain healed in a women who no longer needs her medication, a guy with Parkinson's Disease had noticeable differences, a man with arthritis pain and crutches for seven years free to walk again!!,  a 17 year old girl healed of scoliosis, and a man free of years of drug addiction. God is so good we couldn't exaggerate His Goodness if we tried!



Allyssa healed of scoliosis

I am continuing to enjoy Bethel and my involvement here. I feel so honored and excited to be a part of this community. Wow. I have also been in a season of getting back into painting in my free time, mainly watercolors for now. As well as I just received a scholarship to do an online Bible school that just started called Welton Academy. It is basically a Bible school training in Kingdom Doctrine and honestly an answer to my prayers because I have been wanting to do something like that for awhile.

I am continuing to lead trips for Bethel as well as I am taking 20 students on a mission trip to Colombia in March. I couldn't be more excited! Last year on this trip they saw an entire high school saved and thousands of miracles. I also have some other great trips coming up, one I am very excited about is I will be back in home home state Ohio in November! Please keep these in your prayers.

Team Panama

As many of you know I have just been traveling and doing ministry full time. I have been trusting God fully for finances and it has been so cool to see him show up like he always does. To be honest  this last season of my life with finances was pretty tight but I know I am exactly where I am suppose to be, doing what I am suppose to be doing. However, I felt like I needed to be humble and give people an opportunity to give into my life if they wanted. To give you a reference my living expenses are around $800 a month. If you would like to financially sew into my life you can do so in two ways one is through PayPal you can give to naomigracewest@yahoo.com or tax deductible via checks through The Lewis House (put Naomi West in the memo).

The Lewis House
4130 Lewis Ave
Toledo, Ohio 43612

It is an honor to have you in my life and to together see God's beautiful Kingdom expand on the earth. Together we get to plunder hell, populate heaven, and see Jesus get His full reward.
If you have any prayer requests or want to connect feel free to email me.
Blessings and Increase on you and your family. Don't forget that with God all things are possible!

Tijuana

I went to Tijuana a few weeks ago on a ministry trip.
The trip was designed as a Global Legacy trip. People from different churches, cities, and nations joined us. There were around 60 of us including our incredible translators. First off I want to thank the people who gave to my flight down to San Diego. I was super greatful to get to be apart of the team and lead a team of 8 down there. I was also very happy to see around 15 of my friends from Madison, Wisconsin.

We went to this place in Tijuana called Revolution Street we unleashed 60 crazy revivalists on the people walking by many were prostitutes, drug dealers, resturant workers, club goers, and tourists. It was indeed a dark place where God wanted to show up. We continually preached the Gospel from the stage for around three hours with many miracles happening. We called it a Gospel miracle sandwich. We would preach the Gospel people would get saved and then more miracles for THREE HOURS straight.
Some of my favorites were Raul who had7 years extreme leg pain  he was healed and saved!

As we were rapping up the night I saw this couple walking past and I began to prophecy over them from the mic. Two team members found them and went to them continuing to prophecy over them. Then both of them gave their life to Jesus. Also Ruly the well known bull fighter who was gored by a bull months before, he had very extreme continual pain in his side and it all left. Jesus is good!

We had a great time with our friends down there as well as we saw tons of miracles and salvations in hospitals, garbage dumps, malls, and the red light district down there. Thanks to everyone who gave to my ticket down there!

My Trip to the Gay Pride Festival

A few days ago I went to San Francisco on a trip with some friends. The only thing we had on our agenda was love.  While we were down there we  went to this event called Off the Grid it was an event with music and over 30 food trucks (I highly recommend going!), the Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, and the Tenderloin all to release God's love. We saw God encounter drug dealers, prostitutes, people coming off of methadone, the homeless, and the gay community.

We went specifically to love on people at the 43rd Annual Gay Pride event. They estimated 1 million people would be involved either in the festival or the parade June 29-30. As our team was talking and praying for the event. A church leader down there a BSSM illumni named Rebecca was sharing some wisdom with us. She asked if we had any questions for her about the event. I said, "So I am assuming at some point during Gay Pride someone will ask us something along the lines of 'since you follow Jesus or are a Christian, what do you think of my lifestyle?' so Rebecca how would you respond in that scenario?" She said, "Well I would say to them it isn't my job to judge you. The one whose job that is, is thinking nothing but good things about you. His thoughts towards you outnumber the grains of sand on the seashores." After she said that our team was feeling pretty pumped, full of compassion, and excited for what God would do.


We headed down towards the event on our walk from the parking garage to the event everything looked like my usual experience in San Fran; busy streets, cafes, dozens of homeless people, trash in the streets, and  beautiful views. When we walked into the event we saw rainbows galore, very immodestly dressed people, couples everywhere both heterosexual and homosexual, drag queens, large stages with people dancing, the smell of marijuana and the smell of San Francisco food trucks, The whole scene reminded me of an MTV Spring Break. I thought this place is exactly where God is and I am so glad I am here. The same Jesus who was called a friend of Prostitutes and sinners, the Jesus who tells us light shines best in darkness, the Jesus who heals the brokenhearted, and sets people free, the Jesus who has an answer to every problem in world history is here.

We split in teams of twos and threes and went around loving people. Our team hugged a drag queen and prophesied over him. Then I saw this guy who I had met earlier with a free hug sign. I decided to sit in the grass next to him. I then told him I had a spiritual reading for him (a prophetic word) I began to tell him, "I see you are really introverted but have been doing things to break out of your shell. You are in a season where you have had a lot of new ideas lately for your future." I said some other things as well. He said "Whoa, how do you know all that about me? I am here doing this hug thing by myself so I can start to feel more comfortable around people. However it isn't working so I am about to go to Burger King and do these drugs." He pointed to his back pocket and proceeded to tell me about some heavy drugs that you eat. He was at the event doing them and selling them.I then told him about the Presence and how much God is thinking about him and how good he is. I told him that his drugs couldn't even compare in the slightest to God's Presence. He said later he would probably check the Presence out. I told him could do it whenever he wanted and I gave him some tips to experiencing God's Presence.

Many people at Pride were prophesied over and they were shocked and how we knew things about  them. We would tell them Jesus was the reason we knew and that He deeply loves them. Lots of the team saw people healed. We were really sensitive about if and when we would ask people in this particular location if they wanted to give their life to Jesus. Tons of people at the Gay Pride Festival were encouraged and we are dreaming about how to make a massive impact in that culture in the future. It was a good day and a very eye opening experience.

Later that night we went back to the awesome church that was hosting us and encouraged them with testimonies of what God is doing in their city. We saw dozens of people healed including a women with a growth on her chest that went up to the top of her armpit dissolve entirely.

These days, Life is good.

Hello. Hello. You are so dear to me all my family and friends all over the planet. So if you are wondering what is going on in my life, or what I have been up to? Allow me to tell you.

I have been enjoying life fully. God has been really good to me as always and I have been having a lot of fun. Since September I have made a decision to grow my skills in pastoring, mentoring, coaching, and developing others. I have been mentoring some girls in Katrina Stevenson's revival group at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Which has been very fun and personally eye opening to discover something else I love doing! Being a part of peoples processes, seeing them succeed, celebrating their breakthroughs, and challenging them.

Also I have been enjoying many of my incredible friendships at Bethel as well as I have been learning so much from our itinerate traveling group BAM. BAM is a group of Bethel Itinerates that travel the world representing Bethel and who are in relationship with the fathers and mothers of Bethel.

I have been traveling the world itinerately by invitation for the past three years the first year with Bethel leaders and the last two as the speaker/leader of most trips I go on. So far in 2013 I have been to Mexico, Wisconsin, Chicago, Indiana, Oregon, Washington, all over California, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Canada, and Nebraska. God has been doing many amazing things from seeing marriages restored, entire congregations physically healed, to many salvations. Come on JESUS! I have also really enjoyed the second year Bethel students and friends I have been having on my trips as my ministry team. I have really been enjoying seeing God show up both in the streets and in the church. It has even been awesome all the stuff I am learning through Holy Spirit and my mentors in preaching and seeing God be God! It is an honor to serve God and be a part of what He is doing on the planet!

You may know that I was struggling with adrenal fatigue for a year and a half. I want you to know I am feeling much better. Thank you GOD! So much of my strength and energy has returned.

I want to thank all of you for the incredible role you play in my life. Thank you for your friendship, prayers, and believing in my life. You have been an incredible blessing to me. Thank you for being you.

Blessings to you,

Naomi West

The Theology of Healing

Often I am asked to share on the theology of healing. Here is a teaching I did in Madrid on what Jesus paid for. If you are wondering if Jesus paid for all to be healed wonder no more! Listen to this. It is in english and spanish.

Three Countries, Four States, Two Months

I want to apologize that I haven't been blogging much lately there is just so much to say that I have been overwhelmed as to where I should start. Here is a mini recap. Thanks for reading and more importantly thanks for being a part of my life!

 Many People have been asking me via texts, emails, Facebook, or just face to face the BIG question of "How has your summer been?" or "How were all your trips?" So if you are one of those people this blog goes out to you. Let's drink a cyber cup of coffee and catch up on our summers, Cheers!


 Colombia Highlights:

My friend Russel and I open air preaching in the center of Bogata

Thus far my summer has been really, really great! I started off in May going on a trip to Bogota, Colombia with my friends Joaquin and Renee Evans and Russel Black and their team to do a healing conference. Russel has been to Colombia quite a few times. I even had a few friends there that have traveled to Redding for the Leaders Advance conference at Bethel. God did hundreds of miracles there. I had the honor to do a breakout session on evangelism around 200 people attended when we asked them if they had ever lead someone to Jesus four people said they had and one person said he had prayed for someone in public. We trained them on evangelism that God wants to touch the world around them, everyone wants to meet Jesus, and that the world is hungry to know God.
Within the week around 200 people were saved mainly through their church going out on the streets.

People were tangibly encountering our good God some of those people were a police officer, a soldier, a guy selling avacados and a woman selling popsicles, a beger, people on their way to work, groups of teenagers on the streets, a woman in her 80's,and my friend Paige and I's taxi driver.

A few other miracles:

-Metal disappeared supernaturally that a woman could no longer feel in her arm after having it for 11 years (four other people had metal dissolve.)

-a woman for  three years had pain in her mouth and couldn't feel her tooth now nerve is totally better

-Little boy couldn't breathe through his nose for three years now can

-Broken finger better! Cast gone!

-A four year old had rough skin when he was born it was very scaly and totally cleared up

-Scoliosis healed

-Lady had no job and was unemployed for a year and was offered a job after she received prayer

-Tumor dissolving

 

 Miami Highlights:

Castle Segovia

After Colombia I went back to Miami with Russel and Kerry Black where we had family time and revival. I felt so loved on the whole time I was there from hanging out with the Blacks' my heroes, to eating allegators, the Everglades, shopping, exploring old warehouses, eating Cuban food, going out on a boat in the ocean, and meeting some really quality people! While I was there I felt very refreshed and had some of the most fun I have had in awhile (well I'm always having fun, but this time particularly stood out!). Also God did many awesome things like dissolving tumors, pain leaving bodies, and people feeling His Presence. I adore my friends in Miami, they remind me how GOOD God is! 

 

Spain Highlights:

Great Spanish Friends!

I went to Spain to visit my good friend Jaz Jacob. We had tons of fun hanging out, eating squid, watching the EuroCup and having revival. I met many, many incredible Spaniards and was able to partner with them in being activated in healing and the prophetic.  What God is doing in Spain blew me away and encouraged me! A young boy was healed from a broken bone that wouldn't heal properly, he then rededicated his life to the Lord during the service. He left service prayed for a cripple lady and her back straightened out significantly and he prayed for another lady on the subway and she began to shake under God's power!

Many people were healed of arthritis, back pain, a few with hearing loss, and a person noticed difference in the affects of MS in their body!  It was an honor to visit Spain and I look forward to visiting again!

Italy Highlights:

Pavlo who's now smelling

My good friend Kathi Sparlinek and I went to Italy to partner with what God is doing there. We had friends who had a connection with a local church in Ashti and we were invited to come hangout and do some meetings with the pastor and his family there in their church. They are so hungry for the Presence and seeing God touch their community! One of our meetings we started off just adoring the Holy Spirit and enjoying His Presence and a guy who had barely been able to smell for 29 years his nose opened up and he could notice a major difference in his smelling! Many other miracles happened in the Presence too! People were meeting Jesus on the street and people from their church were getting their first word of knowledge and loving people so well! It was fun! A guy in his 80's named Francesco's ears opened up, he had had severe hearing loss for 5 years, right on a park bench in the center of Ashti! My 15 year old friend prayed for him, YAY God! Italy was fun and a dream fulfilled for me, It had always been my dream to visit there after graduating Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and less than two months later it DID! Thank you God!

Midwest Highlights:

Have I ever told you I have the BEST family!? While I was home I had tons of quality time with them. I was able to visit my brother in Chicago with my dad and grandma. That was a trip I will never forget. I also was able to see my sister niece and nephew. As well as stay with my close friends George and Sarah William's who are family to me and their gorgeous girls! My friend Carrie Jo and I also took a wonderful trip up to Petoskey, Michigan to speak and do ministry at a church up there. We had so much fun, God did so much and we made some really great new friends up there too! God is so good! 

Thanks for reading this. I would love to hear your comments and feedback!

 

My dad and I

I Pray that you would be overwhelmed by God's kindness and goodness! 

Good Friend Kathi

 

Also do you have any input on a subject I should blog on!? 

 

Love you guys! <3 Naomi West

Very Exciting Spring Update

Naomi's Bethel Adventures

An Update and Exciting Announcement

               A Massive Thank you!

Thank you to all my family and friends all over the globe, my life is truly indebted to your prayers and support. Thank you for all of your encouragement, emails, phone calls, generosity, and believing in me, each one of you has a special place in my heart. Thank you for every seed you have sown in my life, not one of them has been in vain. I am so grateful to have you in my life and that’s why I have written this newsletter to honor you with an update of what has been happening in and through my life. I hope the work God has doing in my life encourages you because you have sewn into it!

This year I have been interning for Les Coombs at Bethel's Healing Rooms as my third year and final year at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California, which basically means I help lead the students in the healing rooms and see God do miracles every week as people come for prayer and ministry from all over the globe. Along with interning I have been taking ministry trips some of the places I have traveled to this year are Canada, Cuba, Oregon, California, Florida, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Each trip has been amazing and completely life transforming! It has been such an honor and privilege. I have seen hundreds of people saved this year and thousands of verifiable miracles. Each day has been such an excitement and joy to experience God's extravagant love personally, to activate the body of Christ, pour into leaders and churches, and to see many people experience Jesus personally. I feel very privileged, honored, grateful, and overwhelmingly happy! We all serve a very great God!

Cuba Part Two

Cuba alter call, 60 people gave lives to Jesus

I went to Cuba for the second time in March and the trip far exceeded my high expectations. We did two leadership conferences on the east side of the island where foreigners rarely go. We were able to do teaching and trainings with leaders on many subjects including healing, prophecy, evangelism, and worship. Also we were able to leave each leader with a packet full of teachings our team had written in Spanish on thirty different subjects. Our final meeting was attended by 3,600 people in a city of 10,000 people; that means 36% of the city came to the meeting. I had the honor of doing salvation alter calls and over 150 people received Jesus personally. I met a woman who was in a horrible fire 10 years ago who's ears had been burned entirely off. I was able to pray for her and her ears literally began to grow in my hands as well as she had scars and burns that disappeared right in front of both of our eyes. A young man whose face was half paralyzed for four years is now able to move his face fully. A few thousand miracles happened, many people gave their lives to Jesus, and a few hundred leaders were trained and equipped. God loves Cuba!

 
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT

 This next year I will still be involved in Bethel's healing rooms and also I have been invited to do full time itinerate traveling as a part of Bethel which will just be an extension of what I have done this year. I am confident this is what God has for me in this next season of my life. I have received tons of confirmation and encouragement through my spiritual mothers and fathers and through prophetic words. Practically this looks like traveling to churches where I am invited and have relationship, teaching, and activating churches in a supernatural lifestyle. It looks like continuing to lead teams and ministry trips. I will be in relationship with mothers and fathers from Bethel while being mentored, empowered, and activated by them. I am very excited about this decision and these next few years to learn from Bethel staff’s wisdom and heart. I know I can learn so much from where they have been.  What they carry is so valuable to me and it is such an honor for me to be here and partner with what God is doing in Redding and globally through His beautiful Church!

The past few years during ministry school I have worked diligently maintaining my alone time with God, fulltime jobs, ministry, school, and travel; with all of that on my plate it has been wonderful and at times overwhelming. I now know the Lord is calling me to just focus on my relationship with Him, the relationships I have, and ministry. When I first heard this from the Lord it honestly was a surprised to me but I know this is what He is calling me to.  So with much prayer I have decided to no longer work at Red Lobster or any secular job. I will be living off of support and offerings from when I travel. I know I will see God’s faithfulness and His extravagant love in this area of my life. I am excited and expectant to see the ways He will provide as I trust Him and walk in faith.

Remembering what God has done!

Today I found myself at the prayer chapel at Bethel which is super unordinary for me. Usually my times in the Presence are spent in my room or closet. However today I found myself in the prayer chapel. I found myself picking up a three ring binder that sits on the prophetic art and intercession table titled "Bethel's Prophetic Journey." I read lots of encouraging things but the thing I read that rocked me to the core was written by Graham Cooke in 2008. Here is the word!

Son the long years of wondering and praying about hearings and miracles and you have sometimes almost found yourself daydreaming, where the whole day you would just envision people getting healed and what the church would be like in revival. And you would just sit there and get lost in the idea of people getting healed and demons fleeing. Then you would jump and think " what am I doing" and feel guilty because you missed half a day. And you couldn't seem to stop yourself from doing it. And the Lord says " that was me I encouraged you to daydream. I was dropping that stuff in your spirit." those things you've long to see you will live to see. And you will participate in those things I will take you across the nation and from nation to nation.


Wow and we have so seen that begin to come to pass. What are you dreaming about today.. The things you are dreaming of today with God is the land you will be living in tomorrow.. Keep dreaming, envisioning, and enjoying His Presence and never forget what He has done!

Miracles in Madison.

Do you love incredible friends, world renowened pizza, beautiful heart felt worship, churches being transformed, creative miracles, and reivival!?
Then you should of been on my trip to Madison, Wisconsin!
Then Again maybe you were there.

God is doing Beautiful, wonderful things in Madison!!

My team and I did a youth service, three leadership meetings, a prophetic teaching time, an evangelism activation where we took people in the church out in the community to love on people, a Friday night service where we activated the church in a supernatural lifestyle and their Sunday morning service!!

The church we went to was a really fun innercity church of about 400 people. During youth group there was like 70 young people there. While we were speaking at first it appeared none of them were paying attention. As we prophecied over them they would chat with friends or stare at the floor but we chose not to be discourage, then we told them about God's presence and all of them started to feel warmth or tingling on their hands. Next 12 youth responded to wanting to be free from addictions.At least 20-30 young people gave their hearts to Jesus and invited Holy Spirit to be their best friend! COME ON!

Next I asked them who wanted to see God do a miracle through them! Almost all of them raised their hands. I said I need ten volunteers so how about ten people come up.. they rushed the stage and over half of them came up! I told them what a word of knowledge was and we went down the line. They gave words of knowledge and many miracles broke out through their hands or without anyone praying!!

Here are a few of the miracles!
Vertebrae aligned after 14 years no longer crocked neck.
Finger girl jammed knuckle hurt quick prayer by guy w word of knowledge all pain gone.
A Tumor the size of five inches by two inches totally dissolved along with a few other cysts!

Kid with cataracts thick glasses couldn't see exit sign now everything clearly
Giggling heat presence kids flipping out never felt him so strongly
12 legs grew out  first or six taller
12 backs better
A kid first time in church


Cleft pallet hole in roof of mouth when she talked you could hear wind, Cleft hole in her mouth is smaller... Crazy..

A girl who didn't know God had an encounter where Jesus said your eyes are beautiful.She couldn't move her eyes to see only head. she began to freely move her left eye she couldn't move it since birth.

Guy hadn't slept more than 4 hours in eight years slept.. 12 hours...

Hammer toes straightened out, his shoes fit and this problem had been there his whole life.

Women with arm condition five years lifted a bag first time since surgery.

Kk who didn't know if God was real he used her to grow out legs

Woman couldn't breathe in sleep, breathed first time 15 years through her nose.

Thank you God for all the miracles you did in Wisconsin! If you need a miracle in your body just start testing that body part out!!
