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.

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 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

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 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.

Birthday Healing on the sidewalk!

I just got this facebook message from my friend Landon who I met traveling in North Vancouver, Canada. I did a healing conference in his church with some friends! Landon has been going after living a naturally supernatural lifestyle for two years. He messaged me tonight to share this testimony.. Landon is just a normal dad.. who loves people and believes nothing is impossible.. the same Jesus Christ that lives in Landon lives in YOU! God loves doing miracles with us. All Christians are called to walk in the power of GOD!


"Yesterday I stopped for a homeless guy. I gave him some money and asked him his story. He's had to stop work cause of tendinitis. I offered him prayer, he gladly accepted, and said he personally knew Jesus.

I prayed for him three times and after the third time both his shoulders and back were healed! He couldn't feel his tendinitis, his pain went from an 8 to 0! He picked up his stuff gave me a big hug and headed out for some cheap eats. It was his birthday too!!! "

 I just challenge you to make a choice that today I am going to look for opportunities to release God's Presence into impossible situations and expect a miracle! I am going to believe that when I(you) pray something happens. Today make a choice to step out and love the one in front of you just like Landon did..

to tell me testimonies of what God does you can contact me @naomigracewest@yahoo.com

LOVE YOU all and GOD BLESS!                                                        

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!

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

                                                                                       
                                                                     Our Team and Friends

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:)

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!

I am shocked..dreams do come true!

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
