Cuba.. the rumors are true.

It feels like it has been eons since I have last written publicly.

So much has been going on lately, so much transition.

But I will be writing again, it truely is something I enjoy =)

I went to tell you all about our trip to Cuba, many of my friends and supporters have been asking me about our trip.. so here is a brief highlight of our trip.

The rumors are true.. the deaf.... hear, the lame....walk, the blind.... see......

   and God is BETTER and HAPPIER than we EVER imagined possible.

So much to say.. oh man. I want to start of with a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me in finances, encouragement, prayers, or just down right interest in my life. You all are bomb.com. With that said.. Cuba was EPIC in many ways it was everything I ever dreamed of.

I loved my team, the people in Cuba, and the experience.

Cuba is a beautiful country with a unique culture. I think everyone should go at least once!

The people are precious and are so hungry to know God. I am so thankful to have went.

I really just love Revival and seeing God's Kingdom come to earth..

That is why I get out of bed every morning.

So we traveled a total of 1700 kilometers in the country and stayed at a different place every night and did a total of 8 church services and in between cities we loved on whoever we ran into. It was a blast. We had the opportunity to pray and prophecy over a Cuban General and his family and a few other people who told us they worked for the gov. There was over a 100 people who gave their heart to the Lord and 100s of miracles, so many it was hard to count! Because most of them happened without our team even praying for them.

Some Highlights:

• A woman with a STD for 6 years who had problums walking due to swelling. She said sometimes she couldn't walk at all it hurt to bad. I just released God's fathers love and held her, all swelling left and shes walked around now with out any problums. All the shame left her and she began to laugh. This was fun to see God touch her and do many things in her life all at once. In one healing the whole gospel message is portrayed.
• Everywhere we went and talked with people that I can think of we saw people saved and healed
• A little girl got out of a wheelchair and took her first steps, IN HER LIFE!! her brother saw this.. and felt the kindness and love of God in a new way.
• Blind eyes open after 6 years...
• kidney problums healed
• a woman who lost her voice for a really long time could sing again
• 3 men with deafness have never heard anything now hearing sounds and vibrations (at least)
•  a woman who came to church that day just to know God cared about her she had wondered for years and she came because that night was her last hope. She said she was leaving for the first time knowing God cared about her.
• people getting out of wheelchairs
• Almost every miracle in the churches happened without anyone in our team praying for them.
• And also we got to activate the churches in miracles it was fun to see them realize God wants to use them to do miracles!!

Salvation:

13 people were saved as our team stopped randomly to get water for like 10 minutes. We called out words of knowledge and just asked people if they wanted to feel God's presence they said yes. 13 people gave their heart to the Lord. Seeing people say yes to God on the streets all over Cuba was so fun!!

 It is so easy to see people come to the Lord when they saw how happy and great He is.

This Jesus we love is ENTIRELY irresistible.

I believe when we truely believe that. It will change our expectations of what we expect to see God do through our lives and in our lives.

Personal Highlight/Encounter

During one of our evening services before it began I went around the room praying for people who had problums in their bodies, people were being healed of decades of pain, hearing loss, someone who had crutches and crippiling in their body for a few years was able to walk and God was doing MANY many amazing things. A few dozen people were healed as they just checked out their bodies.. They couldn't find their problums. this all was amazing.. but then something happened in worship that forever changed my life.

It all happened as I was dancing around and celebrating God's goodness. I was just acknowledging God and who He is. I was just acknowledging how powerful He was and I realized that it felt like I could touch anyone and I would see them totally restored, healed, or whatever was needed. Then God said to me, "Do you want to see what I can do.'' And of course I said yes, and I became really excited. I began to  watch angels walk around the room and as they touched people, the people were falling on the floor, crying, being healed and experiencing God in radical ways. There is some more details to this whole moment, but in this moment I realized, yes God likes to partner with me but He is so incredible at doing what He does. In this moment a deep cry was birthed in my life as I watched the Holy Spirit my favorite man in the world go around and meet these people. I knew I have to know Him, I have to know this Holy Spirit like never before. I must know this man!! I have always realized that it is inevidable that through my life millions will be saved, nations transformed, dead raised ect. But that in the end I just want to know Him like never before. All I want is to know this man, this God, this guy I call my best friend.

And that is what I give my life to this beautiful friendship.

Do you want to feel my friend?

I just love God and revival, in my greatest efforts I couldn't do any of this..

Nothing is impossible with God

Crazy Good NEWS!!!!!

"If this is Christianity this should be on the news!"-A man who regave his life to God and was overwhelmed with how good the Good News really was.

I just got back from a ministry trip with some friends Jason Chin, Ben Church, Paul Rapley, and Asaph Cueto. Baby it was bangin'! We started off in San Fran staying at an amazing house and going to a Benny Hinn Confrence. We decided to pray for people who were waiting in line. So we started calling out words of knowledge and loving on people. Jesus healed 50+ people in line such as a woman who had intense non stop back and shoulder tension at a level 8 from an acident 19 years ago, all gone!! A few people in line gave their lives to Jesus and were filled with joy! It was fun activating the people in line to pray for each other. They were rocked some of them had never seen a miracle in their life and were growing out legs and seeing pain leave bodies. It was fun!! The people we stayed with were so amazingly generous they had an awesome resturant called Val's Burger. They specialize in shakes, steaks, and burgers and hooked us up with some amazing free meals. Check it out next time your in San Fran it is EPIC and the owners are absolutely precious!

Next we drove down near Riverside Ca. it's about an 11 hour drive from Redding. We went to a hispanic youth group to hold a firestorm. (During these weekends, teams activate others in praying for the sick, giving words of knowledge for healing, doing prophetic art and participating in treasure hunting.) There was about 120 people probably there. It was so much fun!! The young people were so excited and incredibly hungry for God. We released words of knowledge at first and had the kids who didn't stand up for those ailments release their shadows over the other kids body parts and see them get healed.  Through that their was around 40+ healings without even praying. A boy who's whole body was sore from running and working out and who's knee was messed up for more than a week was healed without him even saying anything. Which was cool because he admitted he was skeptical and didn't think God would heal someone. We lead the kids in a soaking encounter in God's presence; Some smelt flowers, others saw visions of Jesus's eyess, one girl had some inner healing as the father held her she said she never felt anything like that, some felt loved, some experienced heat or winds, power or electricity go through their bodies. They encountered God in many new ways. As you read this hold out your hands palm up and feel God's heavy presence. WOW!

Many of these kids had never had those type of encounters with God, prophecied, or prayed for the sick. We had a little bit of training. Then we took them on a treasure hunt all 120 of them into their city to love on people. My team was so full of joy, compassion, and anticipation. We saw God touch many people at the mall it was so fun to see my team get excited and just go for it. They saw God take pain out of hips, arms, shoulders, the list goes on. They were so excited by how easy it was to see God show up. Another team met a woman with polo who was in a wheelchair she couldn't walk and had polo since she was 2. I believe this woman was in her 50s. Her back pain was in a constant 10 level pain, her left leg was paralysed and she didn't have any feeling in it. They prayed all the pain left her back AND she had feeling in the bottom of her foot again. They then noticed one of her legs was shorter than the other. They grew out her leg and asked her if she wanted to try and stand. Before they met her she couldn't do that. Well she got up with the assistance of the youth and was able to take some steps with help and move her foot 12''! Which she couldn't do before. COME ON JESUS!!!!! So good! Also one of the boys jokingly and mockingly put his hand on another youth's shoulder and said deltoid be healed in Jesus name. The other boy said, "Hey I have a problum with my deltoid!" He tested it out and it was completely healed!COMPLETELY HEALED ON ACCIDENT! HA! Healing is way easier than we think. Bam! All of these youth were amazing! They took so much risk! Sometimes we instantly see God show up and sometimes we don't but we celebrate love and risk! and we know God is good and it is impossible for us to pray and nothing happen. :D The pastor and his family blessed us so much I felt so at home. It was absolutely insane!

The next day we went to a Church called Good News. It was the most drunken whacked out church I have ever been to. Our team spoke out of a mega phone. I rapped over the pastor in front of the congregation that was a lot of fun! I've never done that before! But when your drunk, you'll do anything. Risk is easy when your drunk. There we saw people shadow healed as well and had a great drunken family time. During that service was when that guy came up to us and said "if this is Christianity this should be on the news." He was so shocked at how joyful Christians were. The Good News is scandaleously good!! BAM Shocka Laka. Drink in the goodness of God. He loves you a lot.

Also on this trip I had some crazy encounters and dreams...take it! <3

"The Jesus who condemns you is not the right one!" :))

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!

Cuba {Desire fulfilled}

"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

This time last year I was often seen walking around with this tall, peciular Norweigan girl who I befriended. I remember long talks and dreams. Dreaming of photography, fashion, and driving a pastel, junker car in Cuba and potentially hitting a Cuban Cigar.. okay maybe not the latter. I have never understood the American and international fascination with Cuban cigars. In those moments of expressing our dreams. I was awakened to my childhood thoughts of Cuba and young boys with the name of Elian Gonzalez. Do you remember him the illegal immigrant from Cuba? Well I do and I remember running home from school at nine years old to hear about him, communism, and what kind of country I would grow up into. During this time something inside f me burned to see his culture transformed and I didn't understand that fire burning in my chest at all.. now I can a bit.. here it is..  read this letter I recently wrote.

Dear Friends and Family,

Wow, Jesus is Amazing!  It seems He is always looking for opportunities to partner with us to show His miraculous intervention into the everyday world around us. Here are a few things that have happened recently in my life. Just this week, at church during Baptisms a blind man  Sunday was getting baptized and as he got up from the water he could see figures which then progressed to him reading signs and seeing clearly!!! Wow, that is good news! He loves us!!! Also, this week at the healing rooms, a man who was completely paralyzed got up out of his wheel chair laughing and full of joy walked for like 20 minutes around the room with assistance. We just laughed with him as he continued to get more and more breakthrough! It has become extremely normal to see people radically touched by God in public, encountering his love, being radically healed, rocked with His joy, or saved.  Every day I am reminded why I am alive, to love God and love the world around me!

As many of you know I am in my second year of Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry and God is doing many awesome things in my life! I am writing to share with you about the opportunity I have to go to CUBA on a mission trip. Our goal is to rise up leaders in Cuba who will influence their nation from within their country with Kingdom core values, love, and the power of God. I wanted to let you know about all the exciting things God is doing in Cuba and also partner with you to see your own breakthroughs! I am praying that God's love and goodness would be rocking your worlds daily, that God would change your world and the world through you!

This is the first time Bethel has taken a team into Cuba, but we have some very strong connections with some of the national church leaders.  Our main objective will be the implementation of two healing schools, one on each side of the island.  Each school will serve as many as 400 pastors, equipping them with tools to impact their areas of influence. During the evenings these schools will be open to the public.  It is believed that as many as 1000 people will come to these evening conferences to be trained in signs and wonders. We will also spend some time doing ministry on the streets and within the communities.  This is an amazing opportunity, and we are expecting God to do AMAZING things that will LITERALLY change Cuba's history. We are expecting blind eyes to open, lame people to take their first steps, dead to raise, many people to start walking in miracles, and of course everyone’s lives who we encounter to be transformed by God's great love and His unspeakable joy! "IT IS TIME FOR CUBA TO BEGIN TO MOVE IN SIGNS AND WONDERS AGAIN!"

 I am very excited about what God is going to do in Cuba not only the time we’re there but in history. Cuba is definitely shifting and changing in a very good way. Please partner with me in dreaming and praying for Cuba. If you would like to give to what God is doing in Cuba, financial gifts may be made online at ibssm.org.
