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

Black Friday...love explosion!!!



Hope your Black Friday was grand and filled with light and joy from Holy Spirit in whatever you were doing and 
wherever you were!

Naomi and I hit the streets in down town Redding and we meet so amazing people who encountered Jesus and His grace.

The first two people we meet were two homeless men. One guys name was choice and just hanging out. We just loved and encouraged them.

Moses and Henry: Moses was a younger man from Sudan Africa who had just moved to Redding. I asked Moses if he had ever felt the presence of God before and he responded, “Not until now” as in until we had walked up to him. We kept prophesying God’s heart  and dreams for his life (not even very specific) but he was completely amazed and blown away that people would stop and talk and encourage him.  We continued talking to them for a while and he communicated that he did not like Christians and was shocked that we were Christians. The point I want to get across was that we didn’t even give specific words of knowledge but he was rocked by God and encountered Jesus in a loving way for maybe the first time in his life. In closing, we finally asked both of them to hold out their hands and ask Holy Spirit to come. They both encountered Jesus and we asked Jesus to reveal himself to Jesus. So if you want please pray for Moses.

Deb and Michael: this couple was amazing! As Naomi and I were talking with Moses and Henry we saw Deb singing out of a Bible to a few other homeless people. As we were getting to know them better we learned that they both knew Jesus and were married for only a week! They had an shocking 17 year difference between and made a wonderful mix:-) We asked if they wanted to feel the presence of God and they both asked Holy Spirit to fill them and show up in their life. It looked like Deb started to manifest and she said that she felt a “jolt of electricity” fill her body.
Naomi and I both prayed for their knees and then Deb’s hearing loss. We prayed: at first she couldn’t hear me from 10 feet away. The next time we prayed I stood 25 feet away and she could hear me. Also Deb had a lot of mental illnesses like Schizophrenia and both Naomi and I got a word of knowledge about Jesus wanting to heal mental/ brain issues. And we released that and the peace over her and her entire countenance changed. Also we prophesied over their dreams and they shared how they want to do singing and acting for people while preaching the love of Jesus. Yay!

And then I finished my day with some quality time at Black Bear Diner with Les, Audrey, Dave, and Laurel!!


Also I took my California Food Handling test for work oh what joy ;) Naomi!

Prophetic Ministry in downtown

Twelve BSSM students and I are going on our mission trip to Cuba together and last week we hit up the streets together to love on people here is a brief summary of what God did:) ENJOY!!

Testimonies from this past monday! Me, naomi, and Peter were one group and Ahab, Robbie, and Lauren were another group. We saw a car driving who dropped off someone. We went up to the guy who was driving to roll down his window. Naomi told him that she saw a pink blanket over his car( spirit of God hovering) which was the Lords sweetness and love. Gots words of knowledge that he liked extreme sports(surfing), was going to invent new things in that arena, he has had lots of protection over his life and continuing, used to dream really big when he was a kid, and needed prayer for a job and school stuff. Then there was two ladies in the parking lot, Peter saw God comforting a lot of past wounds. Got to release love over them, she just took her son to the emergency room for kidney pains and last year her son died. Then there was a woman with two kids coming down the street. Naomi started going on a prophetic rampage and me and peter joined in! Everything was right on and she started tearing up. she used to know Jesus as a kid but has falling away, right there she felt the presence of God and rededicated her life right there. Also her hips felt a lot better since she just had a baby!! As we went back in to work place there was a girl sitting filling out papers with a bible. Peter went and gave her a word. After hearing her whole story and ministering to her she gave her life to Jesus. I believe she was delivered of demonic attack. She was so blessed that she was crying the whole time, one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. "God knows a lot of things about a lot of people"-Naomi. Then Ahab and his team went to a coffee shop, discovered being turned down is really fun. They saw 3 guys coming to then and the shy guy wanted to find out about his destiny. He came alive inside and got rocked by prophetic words. Got to minister to a guy at the bus station and give a word about going from place to place but God was giving him a house.
Wow Jesus just ministered to so many people!! Have a blissed out day today:)

upDATES, oldMATES, and BABIES!

"Jesus is my very best friend, He is wonderful. There is no one else like Him. I live to show the world how great He is."-Holy Spirit

Well my computer was broken for almost a month
and the things I missed the most were..
1. listening to music online
2. hearing testimonies online
3. ibethel tv
3. blogging..
        I am so thankful to have my computer running again

For the summer I am back where I am originally from in Ohio.
I have been "home" for a little over a week now.
And really how that came about was I just felt this is where the Lord wanted me to be this summer so I cancelled all my plans to come home which after coming home it all makes so much sense.(I will be returning in September to intern in Healing Rooms.)

It has so far been relaxing, fun, interesting, intense, and very peaceful.
It has been fabulous to see everyone I love or rather to begin that process of visiting with them.
Old friends, family, neighbors, ect I look forward to creating so many new adventures to partake in.
It has been such a delight to see my two little sisters, and niece and nephew as well! I can't believe it has been ten months!

Also it has been great to stay in my room for hours reading or just enjoying the sweet presence of  Holy Spirit. He has become such a great friend and dear treasure to me. I pray that you would come to know Him in a better way today!

So just wanted to let ya in on what has been up with me and I will be posting soon about what the beautiful person Holy Spirit has been revealing to me.. until then LOVE, and buckets of joy =)
