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!

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.

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).

Miracles at Hebrews

God just really loves touching peoples lives. He is so GOOD at His job. We can see in 1 John 4:8 that God is love, It is His nature to be love all the time.  As well as for us His children to be the face of love wherever we go, because it is Christ in us, the hope of glory (Col 1:27.) God just loves touching the world through His kids, He has more than enabled and empowered us and given to us the most valuable things He has His son and His beloved Holy Spirit. God loves partnering with His children to do miracles.We the church were born to bring heaven to earth and see the Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our God and His sons (Rev. 11:15.)

At the healing room while people are "waiting'' for prayer we have them go into a room called the encounter room it holds a few hundred people and in this room there is worship, prophetic art going on, and dancing. In this room many people are healed without any one touching them or praying for them. And before that we do something called the "healing pop" which is like a mini healing meeting where we do words of knowledge and people get healed. During that time last week a woman was healed of 25 years of sciatica.  Which is amazing!


We recently started a new team in the healing rooms called the roaming team, where they go around and whack people all over campus during the healing rooms, this could be calling out words of knowledge in the hallways, parking lot, bathrooms, Hebrews (the coffee shop), or really whatever you come up with. So me and two friends Spencer and Nicholas were roaming together and we decided to do a healing meeting in Hebrews the coffee shop and shared the testimony of the woman who was just healed of sciatica, as we did a man sitting at a table filling out his healing rooms form noticed all his pain and symptoms from sciatica were immediately gone! (I think he had severe pain for four years) Two other guys had noticeable differences in there pain level with that same condition. Also a man who had some measure of deafness could now hear better than before, and just as well as the other people at his table in Hebrews. Also someone with floaters in there eyes were healed as well as tons of other miracles.

Skid Row and Reinhard Bonnke

What do Skid Row and Reinhard Bonnke have in common? Is that the beginning to a horribly cheesy revivalist joke? NO! But I am about to tell you what they have in common.

My friends Kevin, Korey, and I went to Skid Row a few weekends ago. If you don't know what Skid Row is I suggest you visit because it is a pretty beautiful place. And if you don't find it attractive I might suggest you redefining beauty a bit. :) So Skid Row is basically a neighborhood in LA..where many homeless people have set up transit housing on the sidewalk the sidewalk is basically packed with cots, sleeping bags, tents, chairs, and people, laying, sitting, talking, dealing drugs, fighting or just hanging out.

When we pulled into LA my friends and I were so full of joy, love, hope, and the power of God. I literally was feeling the power of God surge through my body in bolts of blissful electricity. I felt an invincible liquid compassion fill my life and heart for all the people we were passing by and chatting with.  As I walked past a guy in tattered clothes who was loading his rusty characterized truck with cardboard about six feet high. I felt a simple urge inside to tell him God was smiling about his life. He instantly began to cry as he looked at me. We just loved on him and encouraged him and he said he felt God's Presence and said he knew God. This guy was also Cuban which made me very happy, since Cuba is super dear to my heart <3

Next we were suppose to be meeting up with a guy who runs a ministry in the area but we couldn't find him anywhere, when we stopped by his place. As we were walking to another location I felt a pull on the anointing and my heart was just bursting with compassion. The sidewalks were full of people and I knew I had to turn around and talk to a woman who was laying on a cot and our eyes had just met. I approached one of the most precious and beautiful woman I have ever met in my life. She was this little frail and sassy African American woman who was maybe in her mid fifties. I just started telling her how beautiful she was to God and me. She was so captivated by this simple and true new message of love. She was so hungry to hear what the boys were saying as they prophesied over her. Her husband then came over who had arthritis with his friend who had arthritis. We prayed for them both her husbands back got straighter and they both had less pain!

A man then approached us and said he had pain in his back, we asked if we could check out his legs and see if they needed to grow out. There conveniently was a chair right there! So he sat in it and his leg was about an inch shorter than the other. Korey grew it out and had never grown out a leg before! Then us along with many other people saw this guy who was now just wearing socks who had NO arches in his feet. We watched arches form in his feet! YAY God! All the extreme pain he had been feeling had left his back and feet and he excitedly declared, "I can now play baseball!."
At this time a crowd was growing and people were gathering to see what this guy and us were getting excited about. Avery high woman approached us, Korey loved on her and her back pain left... he then said is there anything else I can pray for you and she said to be free from cocaine! :D

Then we met up with the rest of our team in LA, we had dinner together at the church with our friends  in Laguna Viejo and in the morning the eight of us went to the impartation breakfast with Reinhard Bonnke, and Daniel Kolenda. Who in the last decade alone have seen 55 million people saved!!! They both spoke and laid hands on us giving us impartations. Also Daniel prophesied some pretty crazy things over me. We can just say the entire meeting was my favorite meeting I have ever received from and I am still processing it. Reinhard is by far in my top 5 heroes of the faith. The whole experience completely rocked my world in ways I am unable to process.

In line at Reinhard I was in the book signing line by myself, and as normal by myself I became bored. So I decided to talk to the people behind me it was two women. I got a word of knowledge about their right hip and they said it was for their friend. She then walked back over to us she said her pain was at 6 then it went down to a 4 then down to a 0! Then I asked the other two if there was anything I could pray for they all said they were fine in their bodies. I got a word of knowledge about an ongoing problem in the foot and the women's middle toe had been giving her pain and problems for I believe she said 11 months and it all left! The other woman's wrist was healed and knee as well all conditions they had for a few years.  But the fun part was right before they got healed as I got the word of knowledge I noticed these guys behind them watching me interact with them so I asked him to tell the pain to leave and release God's presence it was then they were healed. God also healed three toothaches in line. How fun!

I really enjoyed this trip and hanging out at Cami's church and doing outreach in Laguna Niguel with them. It was a lot of fun. Someone gave their heart to Jesus in one of the grocery stores which was so awesome. I had so much fun hanging out with and connecting with our friends we had met in Nebraska and doing Sunday morning at their church and just seeing them all get more activated and touched by God. Oh I love Orange County and my friends there. I know the connection God has started there will only continue to grow and flourish! It was such a joy and honor to get to spend time with them, there passion and faith truly inspires me :D
