Twenty, years of love!

"Act as if it were impossible to fail."

Dorothea Brande

I went for a thirty five minute jog with my friend and housemate Selina Rocha a couple of days ago and after we went jogging she showed me this really incredible app on her phone when you shake it, it says a motivational phrase. When I shook it I received the quote above. Act as if it were impossible to fail. When we dream and make steps to live those dreams we actually are catapulted to new levels personally. This is something whether I have realized it or not, is something I crave; taking risks and going to the next level in whatever way I can... this saying maybe has been a life motto of mine without me EVEN realizing it.

With that I said I just turned 21 woot woot!!

And this week I compiled a list of things that God has done in my life or I have made steps towards this past year. My dream is that as you read this you would dream with God over your life and that you would allow Him to challenge you in new ways..that you would take risks and break past obstacles in your life and become the person you have always known you were inside..

Twenty was the best year of my life...

Twenty was a year of...

1. intense joy, fulfillment, purpose, and excitement

2. a year of feeling Very beautiful and loved

3. no longer taking risks, but becoming risk

4. went to Cuba ( a life long dream)

5. did my first healing conference

6. learning how to develop a healthy lifestyle of eating and rest

7. LOVING cooking

8. becoming confident in my ability to lead

9. upgrades in mindsets and favor

10. open air preaching

11. realizing and accepting what I was born for

12. the supernatural no longer was a theory that "mostly" worked.. but became a non -negotiable lifestyle.

13. deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit as a person

14. lead my first ministry trip...woot!

15. switching lifelong priorities from social to the Presence

16. feel in love with soaking!

17. becoming really confident in myself and no longer feeling like I had to prove myself, but becoming so confident in just being me.

18. actually embracing my heart and dreams to see the world come to Jesus! and a crazy explosion of salvation!!

19. seeing Holy Spirit show up in ways I had only dreamed of years previous

20. FORREAL the best year of my life thus far!! :D

Romans 10:11 For the Scripture says whoever believes in Him will not be dissappointed (NASB)

May EVERY dream God and you have dreamed over your life come true and MORE!

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!

Hallway Healing POP!

Last Saturday at the Healing Rooms where I intern..

The encounter room was getting pretty crowded so they announced that us interns would be taking all those who had deafness or hearing loss in the hallways and their ears would be open.
In the first wave twenty-one people responded and all of them to my knowledge received breakthrough (of some level.)

There was this cute older woman who had 10% hearing in one ear and 30% in the other she said. From Directly behind her should could not make out what I was saying. My normal talking voice, which is quite loud ;)... the presence of God was released and over a couple of minutes she was able to repeat what I was saying without looking at me from TWENTY feet away in a loud hallway!

There was in the second wave of people a woman who's ear canal had collapsed. She was unable to put a Q-tip in her ear.. she was prayed for for a couple seconds and she heard a popping in that ear. Then she tried to put her finger in it and she could a little bit and then she compared it to her other ear.. then something changed in her ear again and both were the same! WOW!
Also a guy who couldn't differentiate noises in a crowd was now able to hear what was being said when multiple people were talking, ringing in the ears left a few people, and hearing was restored..

Jesus just loves to touch peoples lives, even in hallways ;)

Vancouver, BC

Psalm 119:24 Your testimonies are my delight they are my councilors. 

I just got back from a ministry trip to Vancouver BC and it was a great time full of a lot of learning experiences, for sure. We drove 17 hours up to Vancouver and 17 back. It was definitely a crazy trip.

-A woman who had cancer in her hands (and I believe feet as well) had a constant level 8 pain in her hands the pain went down to a 2 and then down to a 0.

-A woman who had constant nasal congestion for 30 years sinus started clearing up significantly.

-A woman who had osteoporosis couldn't squat for 18 years now can squat!!

-An elder in the church had hip pain for 35 years now is gone!!!!!

-A cyst on a woman's neck went from being the size of a large pea to at least half the size.

It was a fun trip the church was so hungry it was fun to see them activated in healing, the prophetic, and words of knowledge. It was great to watch them pray for each other grow out legs. Pray for people with flat feet and them receive arches. YAY GOD!

Update letter: Travel and support.

Update:

Friends and family here is an update about what I have been up to, testimonies, and travel.

I have been back in Redding for three weeks now:

*my entire tuition for my internship was paid off! Yay God!!!
*I got rehired as a server at Red Lobster (I am working around 16 hours per week)
*I moved into my new beautiful BRIGHT green four bedroom house with my awesome 5 roomies.

* I have had a lot of free time to get in the presence, read, journal soak, and jog

*I have been enjoying the Bible like never before 

*I have been meeting with the healing room leadership team and learning so much in our "healing room family."

*I have been learning so much and seeing God do so many wonderful things!

*I have been developing the healing rooms activation with other interns and my mentor Les Coombs, this is an outreach in the healing rooms where 100 students in the school of ministry join our healing rooms volunteers (650) and partner with us in seeing God heal, love, and restore. I have been helping bring in some new ideas and changes. We kick off the Activation Oct. 22nd.

One of many things God has done this week:

*I taught a class this week at the healing rooms for the first time called How to Steward Your Healing. The class is an hour long class, 40 minutes of teaching and 20 minutes of joy and impartation. During the class a man testified of being healed of 27 years of intense continual pain and neuropathy. due to a chemical burn accident he had at work 27 years ago! He said he always felt like a 90 year old man and for the first time felt normal. He received joy and his wife said, "My husband is a new man." He encountered the Lord during the class and after said to me, "Before I came into the class I wasn't sure if my new healing would disappear, It was incredible to see this man not only healed but dramatically experience God's love and leave with a new mindset!

*In the Healing Rooms this week one person was healed of Esophageal cancer and another woman ovarian! 

Travel:

This year I have been invited on ministry trips where I travel with leaders in the healing rooms and do healing conferences. I am sure on each trip my role will vary but my roles look like, activating churches, empowering students, bringing joy, preaching, teaching, doing evangelism, and seeing God do the impossible where ever we go. 

This next month I am going to Vancouver Canada with Les Coombs and interns, also I am going to Nebraska with one of my personal heroes Joaquin Evans. I am also invited in November to go to England with Joaquin.

Please prayerful consider sewing into these trips, all gifts are tax deductible 100% of your gift will go towards my travel and will  definitely change those cities and nations.

Thank you!! 

I want to thank each and every one of you for being my friends and partnering in what God is doing in my life! I want to thank you for believing in me, your hugs, prayers, and all of your support. I am daily reminded of your love and that none of this would be possible without you. God is a God of the impossible and a God who fulfills dreams. Thank you! 

My prayer for you is that you would be blessed beyond what you could ever ask, think, or imagine!
May Your hunger lead you into places in God's presence and realities in His Word that you never knew existed!

With love from California,

For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. Psalm 5: 12(NKJV)

Favorite Song...

This song is like the song of my life..
I find myself singing the chorus 24/7..
Especially when I get a free second at work..
"I want to know You
Let Your Spirit overwhelm me
Let Your Presence overtake my heart" <3

update: life is a bit different

Somethings God has said to me lately, that I want to share:

"I am just as big in the small things as I am in the big things."

"There is nothing I could reveal about myself that you don't have access to."

"Everyone longs to know the Bible is true."

I have been back to Redding for less than two weeks yet it feels like there is so much to talk about.

*my entire tuition for my internship was paid off! Yay God!
*I got rehired as a server at Red Lobster (I wasn't eligible for a transfer)
*I moved into my new beautiful BRIGHT green four bedroom house
* I have had a lot of free time to get in the presence, read, soak, and jog


Being back has been so refreshing catching up with friends and family who live here who just got back from their homelands all over the globe, but mainly my time back has been a very intimate chill time with me and the Lord. The Bible has come alive to me like never before in my life. I am learning so much and just enjoying being in God's presence.

Did you know the word rest is mentioned in the Bible 296 times?
Psalm 116:7
Return, O my soul, to your rest;for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.


I really have been enjoying resting. Honestly, I always felt like the Biblical command to rest never really applied to me. I never would of said that though, because I was unaware I felt that way. I think somewhere inside I felt like resting was for those who were very task oriented to take a break, or those who were more on the lazy side or enjoyed things slow pace. That resting was for them, but it's for us all!

But I have intensely caught the urge to rest, and to be.
It's so beautiful, peaceful, and incredible.
As I am in this season and place, I have lost my need to be around large crowds of people and hangout a ton. It's very weird and strange because if you know me well you would probably know that is one of my favorite things, but right now that very thing feels uncomfortable and unnecessary. I am sure at some point that will change but right now it is quite different.

I still am enjoying being around people it is just very small scale and simple right now and that is what I need right now. It is such a contrast from my massively busy schedule in second year. But this feels right for this season right now. I am enjoying being in His presence like never before. I would always consider me definitely a person of the presence but it has consumed my life and really is my only priority right now. (obviously my internship and work are priorities and I def know the presence will and has consumed those places too!)

So here is my simple update: rest

Your hunger leads you to places in God's presence and realities in His word that you never knew existed!

Crooked nose straightens out!

I thought this was a really fun thing God did for a man..

On Saturday at the healing rooms me and my friend Richard were having fun just blessing people with joy, laughing, walking around and talking to people and not trying very hard. We were drawn to this young guy from Hawaii who was in his late 20s. We asked if anyone had prayed for him. He said no and he wasn't sure if he wanted prayer. Which was funny because he had a form filled out for prayer and everything. We assured him it would be easy and fun. HA.

He was like sure. He said his nose was punched two years ago by one of his friends and had never healed properly. The top of his nose on his left side was missing cartilage and on the right had a large bump. Also the ball of his nose was twisted to the side and noticeably off center. We prayed and laughed and he started to breathe better out of his nose as well as he received new cartilage in the left side of his nose. When this happened we all started to thank the Lord that he could breathe better....

THEN...

 I watched the ball of his nose moved from the left side to the center of his nose. IT WAS CRAZY!! Oh man God is so good!! He and his family were very touched by God and his goodness. This guy said his nose was at least 30-50% better, he said when he looked in the mirror his nose looked different!

God is better than we think, He is really good at healing the sick.. which is great because HE IS HEALER! God's goodness blows me away!

Supernatural Weight Loss

A few weeks ago when I was back home in Toledo Ohio, I was at church and ran into a friend who I hadn't seen in awhile. I was sharing with him a few testimonies about creative miracles when he asked if I could pray for him for a weight loss miracle. He said diet and exercise had been hard and he really wanted some divine intervention.

So I prayed as in, I released joy over him and laughed a lot, I don't remember actually "praying." He felt God's presence and what he called a sucking in his stomach. His stomach was sucking in supernaturally!


Then both of us watched his stomach go in a bit..prayed some more and in a bit and some more and still in.. Then we stopped and he still felt it going in ..guessing an inch total and counting!! Yay GOD!!!!! :D He also felt his arms get smaller and when he looked in the mirror he said he noticed a noticable difference! (anyone reading this recieve it for yourself)

I had never seen this happen before but my bestfriend Holy Spirit heals all that come to Him. It isn't about what we have or haven't seen, it's not our efforts, but our willingness to partner with a God who loves to restore all! He is forsure a God of wholeness.

I am shocked..dreams do come true!

So tomorrow I am speaking at a little ladies' lunch at one of my favorite womens' house and when I was saving a document for tommorow I noticed I had three word docs titled dreams.
My curiosity got to me and I explored.. them.. ALL..
Because that's how i roll...
To save the details 5 out of 300 of my life dreams 5 out of 5 being entirely impossible happened the past 5 months!!

Guadalajaran Volleyball and miracles at the park.

If we are faithless,      

He remains faithful,    

for he cannot deny who he is. 2 Timothy 2:13

 It is His nature to heal, set free, save, love, bring His Kingdom to Earth, He can not deny Himself.

Two days ago my friend Carrie and I decided to get together and get whacked in God's presence with the intentions of loving on people as we met them. We decided to head to a metropark in my area. So as we were deciding where we wanted to go at the park, we noticed a group of people bumping around a volleyball so we decided to ask if we could join their game. As we approached them we realized they were a group of Hispanic people about the size of 15 plus. I believe only three of the family members were fluent in English all being kids and the rest spoke only Spanish or some minimal spanglish. Que divertido! Carrie and I would get to break out our Spanish as we developed relationship and had revival. It turns out the whole family which consisted of brothers, sisters, aunts, and cousins were originally from Guadalajara, Mexico and were visiting their sister on a trip from where they live in Chicago.

We bumped the volleyball with them for a half hour in the 100 degree sun ! Then we joined their familia for a fruit picnic and conversations about our lives. Carrie had a word of knowledge about the woman's back and shoulder pain. The woman, Angelica then told us she had fallen down the stairs two months prior and had twisted her back and constantly had level 8 pain on a scale of one to ten. Also she told us she had a hernia in her stomach and we asked her if she had popping and cracking in her joints. She said she did we asked if we could pray for her. She said yes. As we prayed she said she felt a presence inside of her belly and she said the hardness in her stomach left. Next all her back pain, shoulder, knee, and head pain all left!!! Wow that is amazing! Thank you Jesus! She said she never had felt Holy Spirit like that before! Her husband also was healed of intense back and hip pain! He can not deny Himself!
Two hours after we met them we departed, with lots of smiles, hugs, kisses, and pictures taken, we made family at the park with our beautiful friends from Guadalajara. :D

Also yesterday three of my friends and I went on a quick vacay to a lake house there we learned our friend Micah did not have arches in his feet God in a moment gave him two new arches and now he says he can feel the difference as he walks, his weight has shifted from the bottom of his foot to his heel! My other three friends all had one shorter leg then their other and we watched as God grew out all their legs!! Jesus is so fun and amazing! He can not deny Himself! HE is so good at revival! Revival was His idea!!!

Invitation to creative miracles, craziest miracle I've seen.

"What you hunger for exists."

Yesterday at the healing rooms I was doing Skype. (people call in over the computer, you pray with them for healing ect. via webcam)

After my first call nobody was calling in, so I got bored or maybe just adventurous and decided to call someone who I haden se called earlier, but her call was missed
Turns out she is a beautiful college age girl who was born with a deformed arm. she showed me her arm which the right one was twice as thin in the forearm and clearly not as long, with stubs for fingers and barely no palm at all. Neither parts of her arm were as long as the other one.
She told me for the last year creative miracles have been taking place in her arm slowly, such as it has been getting longer.

Over  the webcam I asked the Holy Spirit to come into her room. She said she felt a physical pulling of her arm. We giggled and laughed. She said she saw an angel standing over her shoulder and felt her shoulder go into place. Then she messured her arm against her other arm and it was longer and both her elbows matched up for the FIRST TIME EVER!!!! Next I watched her forearm grow out about an inch and slowly 'fatten' up until it was as thick/wide as her other. I seen this with my eyes over skype! Which it was twice as small!! Then she asked if I would pray for her palm which was only maybe half an inch to an inch in size this then grew in size at least an inch or two and 'fattened' up as well. To about the same size as her other, this was still a different shape though. We continued to giggle, laugh, and celebrate what God was doing! We both stared at each other over skype saying "OH GOD!" with childlike wonder, awe, and thanksgiving, marveling at how awesome, beautiful, and creative our God is. After this point we had been skyping for about 15 minutes and she said she was going to go and continue worshiping believing for the full restoration of her palm and fingers. I beleve at one point she said she could litterally feel where her fingers would grow as if they were there!

OH MY GOD IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He truely creates and restores all things!

It is in His heart that none would suffer but all would know Him.
He is so incredibly GOOD and HAPPY! <3

The thing is I almost didn't even call this girl but when I read and saw she needed a creative miracle for her shorter deformed arm I stopped and thought about how in my personal time with God I have been telling Him I wanted to see breakthrough in creative miracles after praying for quite a bit and no breakthrough of people without eyes, legs, or arms. When I told Him I wanted breaththrough it was one of those things where you feel as if, I am so hungry for this if I don't have/see this I could die, type of hungers. That I wanted creative miracles to be normal for me and the church. I have never seen anything like this before. Maybe you have that is AWESOME!! But this miracle did something deep inside of me that I can't explain.

 I know that everytime God shows me something new it's an invitation to a new realm of normal. Now that I have seen God do one it's an invitation that through my life this creative nature of God will be displayed. I/we no longer have any right to live in an inferior revelation of His ability to create and display His beautiful Kingdom on the earth.

Insane Changes.....Pictures

I was online today looking at old pictures... here is a quick photo timeline of the last four years.. of major looks.. I left out many haircolors ect. The POINT is Dang talk about style changes!!!!!!! oh man :)

Do you feel like you have had more major style changes than the general population.. I DO. weird.

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..

                               p.e.r.i.o.d.

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

Worship paintings (from this week)

These three paintings I painted on stage during worship at the Hem of His Garment Healing Conference in Powell Ohio. The first one releases a depth into God's presence to explore new places in His love. to drown in God's goodness and be captivated with who He is. The firey swirls release us to walk in our idenity as an open heaven. The second is an invitation to to grown and be planted in His presence. ect. The third was released through childlike worship I painted it with a 7 year old named Kate. YAY!! Please excuse photo quality these are off my camera phone :/

God loves conferences, airplanes, and the mall.

"There is NOTHING more dangerous than a happy Christian because there is no dangerous place when you show up."-Joaquin Evans

This week I went on a ministry trip with Joaquin and Chris Gore and many other amazing revivalists that changed my life forever. To a Hem of His Garment Healing Conference in Ohio my home state. UGHHHHH!! So many beautiful people God is doing INCREDIBLE things in OHIO!!This trip changed my life!! I had some crazy encounters in His presence this week (I wont get into that now though)  Here are some of the things God did this week to display His love:

Tail bones healed
new foot arches
headaches gone
40 years of car accident chronic pain gone
all symptoms of post polio gone (numbness, pain)
TMJ healed
constant blurred vision gone
eyesight floaters disappeared
ruptured discs healed
at least 6 deaf ears opening
woman without spit for 27 years now producing salva
allergies healed
tooth ache gone
toe pain gone
systs disolving from side
sense of smell coming back to around 7 people
diviated septums healed
MS healed
12 years back pain gone
legs grown out
tension leaving necks

On our flight back me and my new friend Ben were sitting together and we were starting to get to know the man sitting next to us his name was Alan. Me and Ben began to share stories of our week in Ohio with the guy sitting next to us with much joy and excitement. Stories about individuals who were touched by God we were sharing the love and joy of God. As we told them Alan was getting very excited and his eyes were getting watery. He was in awe and kept telling us to share more because he was soaking it all in he said. We then prophecied over Alan and told him he could walk in miracles just like us. Alan was shocked. As we talked to him we could see his perspective change and himself actually believe he could do it to. We prayed over him and asked him if he wanted to try to get a word of knowledge for healing over anyone in the plane and Alan went from totally not believing God could or would use him to practicing hearing God's voice in a plane.
Also one of my good friends from Toledo was at the conference and she was so moved and touched at it. that the next day she got some friends together to love on people at the mall. My friend typically doesn't see miracles of healing on a normal basis. At the mall her and her friends radically loved on people, it is all about love!! They saw a woman with a spinal injury get out of her wheel chair, a man with bad arthritis in his knees get healed, a girl with a crippled leg become straighter and all pain leave. They saw many people get touched by God's love and his thoughts towards them and a few people give their hearts to him.
God is so good. He lives inside of you and wants to get out to love the world around you. It is so easy to see God move just ask Him to highlight people to you and love on them. Smile, laugh, Take risks! BAM!

Deaf ear opens on woman's birthday and more!

A woman this week in the Healing Rooms came in with a deaf ear. She was talking and about to recieve prayer from a woman. The woman told her "This year on my birthday God opened my deaf ear." The woman looked at her in shock and said, "Today is my birthday!" Instantly God opened her ear and her hearing is now great in both ears!! YAY GOD!
Also there was a woman whom my group met she had excrutiating pain in her body it was hard for her to stand. We gave her a chair to sit in and began to talk to her. She said she had shoulder and neck pain and that the pain was a fifteen on a scale of one to fifteen. Both were swollen maybe a forth of an inch. She wasn't sure why but said maybe it was from an accident she was in 8 years ago. We prayed for a couple seconds and asked her to test it out. All the swelling went down and the pain went down to a two. Also the pain in her knees left and she was able to stand! Here pain got better 13 points on a scale of 10!!
Another woman also came into the encounter room which is a worship room where many people get healed and touched by God's love. A woman there had brain tumors and had been eating through feeding tubes and she was very hard to understand. I asked her, her name and couldn't understand her multiple times. Her friend filled me in with what was going on with her and her name. I felt lead to pray for her throat and asked her how it was doing she kept saying better and better and better. I COULD UNDERSTAND HER!! and she said she was shocked with how well she was talking!! That's good news!! We then both got up and danced for awhile to celebrate! It was fun, God is so in love with her!! I then later couldn't find her. I believe wherever she is she is continuing to be rocked with God's love because God is THAT GOD!!
God is so in love with us! He is so delighted in you! He LOVES to show up and love on us! If you need healing in your body test it out. I bet it is healed. :D

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!!!

Leg growing out! BAM!
