Santa Cruz is SUPERNATURAL

I just got back from a trip to Santa Cruz about a week ago. I have been trying to write about some of my trips, I would say I am maybe having a 35% success rate at that. The trip was to the Santa Cruz School of the Supernatural with Joaquin Evans, one of my heroes and friends. It was six second years and me. God's presence came super strong in both of the meetings at one time I unexpectedly flew out of my chair and landed on the floor next to some of the very intoxicated (in the Presence) students. Many miracles happened like pain leaving bodies and ears opening up and I even unexpectedly got to speak for about fifteen minutes and do some ministry time. I just shared testimonies about how easy and fun it is to partner with God. That walking in the supernatural is for anyone and every Christian.


The second year students and I decided to go to the pier for fudge and an americano for me!  On our way we past a soccer game where some Hispanic people where playing. I got a group of theirs attention and started loudly calling out words of knowledge. They began to laugh and none responded then I pointed to an older guy and asked him if he had pain in his lower back. He said yes, bad. We prayed quickly in Spanish for like 20 seconds, he tested it out all the pain was gone! Thank you Jesus! Next we began propheczing over people, while our friends down the way were growing out legs. I began to prophecy over this young man about sports, his heart, and the future God had for him. It was really simple. I could then see his heart had majorly opened up, admist of his friends sort of mocking us. I asked if he ever felt God's presence. He said he didn't know. I said, "You would know!" I asked him if he wanted to he said yes. He felt God's presence and love. I then asked him, if God was really good and loving if he wanted to know him personally. He said yes. He then accepted Jesus and we prophecied over him that he can hear God's voice and do what we do love on people and miracles. This young man was super thankful, we then exchanged facebook information.

EVERYONE is super hunger to know God. If someone isn't walking with God, He probably has just been misrepresented to them. It says in Haggai 2:7 that He is the desire of the nations, the word there actually means heathens those who aren't walking with God. They were all made to desire God and know Him intimately! :D Wow! Wherever you go.. invite people to experience His Love, Kindness, and Goodness!

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!

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:)

Tumors Dissolve, Neuropathy healed, people saved.. NEBRASKA

I just got back from a CRAZY trip to Nebraska..
I was recently thinking about a trip I went on in July 2008 to Mozambique..
where I saw God do some miracles I had never seen before like the lame walk, blind see, deaf receive hearing, and swollen stomachs become normal.
And I remembered that I use to believe that it was easier for God to do miracles there.
then here in America
I DON'T BELIEVE...
that anymore :)
let's just laugh at that lie.

There is no place that isn't an open heaven for God's love to come into and rock..
And miracles, healing, signs and wonders are just one expression of His Goodness and nature.
When He touches us it shows us what He is like and that His Kingdom is at hand..
That He is here now! That God dwells with and in His creation that He loves!

Everywhere we went in Nebraska whether it was a coffee shop, gas station, Walmart, college campus. God showed up with His love, power, and GOODNESS! Healings, salvations, and people feeling God's presence for the FIRST TIME was very frequent and such a pleasure to be there for!

A few of the many things he did was..
Heal a woman of an eye that had lost it's sight due to an accident when she was three years old. Her eye was now lazy and she could no longer see color or make out pictures. The presence of God came and she began to see colors, details in the room, and then she could count fingers at a distance! She hadn't seen out of it in almost fifty years!
Next God healed twelve years of neuropathy in her hands and feet without anyone praying for her. Then she couldn't find her carpel tunnel, and neither could the woman next to her! NO ONE PRAYED!
The woman next to both of them had two gumball sized fatty tumors in her forearm these started to disappear.
This church was activated in miracles and words of knowledge! YAY GOD!

Also in two other church services two different women with withered hands were healed!

My friend Cami and I spoke at a youth service with around 60 kids about God's presence and goodness and many of them felt God's presence for the first time and shared with the other youth their encounters. That was so exciting to see them go from barely responding to me speaking to them to smiles and tears as they experienced how good my best friend, Holy Spirit is.

So many other great and absolutely amazing things happened but these are some main highlights. I had such a great time seeing Jesus get everything HE paid for.. :) Thanks for all your love &&& SUPPORT!!

Powerfully Processing Disappointment.

This blog is a bit different than what I usually write about :)
I am actually going to write about how I deal with disappointment.

I live in two worlds at once.
I live knowing that Jesus paid the price absolutely for all to be healed. I know it is absolutely His will and heart to heal all through us His church. While that is  always my expectation that the one in front of me would receive full healing, this isn't always my experience.
It is so crazy to live in this culture where left and right we are hearing amazing testimonies about what God is doing all over the earth. I think in one week I probably hear more good news than I ever did in the  fifteen years before I knew Jesus!
 I celebrate those who are healed and receive any measure of healing in their bodies; I am also at the same time very aware that everyone that gets prayed for isn't healed.

You might wonder what do you do with that? How do you process that?


I have had situations in my life such as my mom dying at 42 from cancer, friend's children dying, and just this week one of my friends dying from cancer. All of these situations all obviously were hard for me and you have also probably had things like this in your life as well, These types of situations lead me to questions and a DEEP hunger to look more like Jesus. Allow me to explain the process.

How do we live on the edge of breakthrough? how do we press in for more? How do we handle when we pray for people and many many many get well and yet some die? These are questions I have had to ask myself and the Lord lately.

1. Let's say we expect something to happen and it doesn't the way we think it should, whether it be healing finances ect.  When someone isn't healed His nature is never on trial. He still purchaced healing and salvation for all. We first and foremost have a choice to make.. To believe that God is good, no matter what. That it is ALWAYS His heart to redeem His people from all works of the devil, death, sickness, sin, poverty, whatever. When we choose to believe He is who He says He is it puts us in a position to be victorious when we are processing our pain.

2. Be honest with God- process how you feel. Be humble and real with God He can handle it. However as you are real with Him, be honoring towards Him, keeping in mind that He is a good Father! Allow Him to come into your heart and love on any places of pain, discouragement, disappointment, or fear. Choose to not be angry at God, because that leads to disappointment and when we are disappointed with God that leads to a skewed perception of Him and who He truly is and that left untreated grows into unbelief. "Hope deferred makes the heart sick." And unbelief leads us into powerlessness... and powerlessness just breeds disappointment.

3. When we choose to believe He is good.To choose to not be disappointed in God.  We next have another choice to make to not give up. To get in the secret place and cry out for more. Our realization that we don't currently measure up to the life of Jesus was meant to lead us to hunger for more and ultimately to looking like Jesus in every area of our lives and bringing heaven to earth in every sphere of society. Our realization that we must have more should lead us to dreaming, imagining, and stepping out, it was never meant to cause us to feel inadequate or powerless!!


Hunger always leads us to relationship and relationship with Him will always lead us to more love, power, and confidence in Him. This very thing should actually lead us to more of His power flowing through our lives and into the world around us!

Keep Dreaming!

The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of  His Christ; and  He will reign forever and ever.”

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!

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...

You may remember my earlier blog about dreams and dreaming with God.. http://extravagantbliss.blogspot.com/2010/11/invitation-to-dream.html

transition..can I get an A-MEN!

 I have been in such a place of transition lately whatever that means. For the last three months I can not tell up from down. I am not trying to convey a depressed, hopeless, or even confused feeling. It's more like saying an awkward thing while you are the center of attention and not knowing how to redeem the moment type thing. It's like an everything was very exciting and I don't know how to make the moment climatic again type feeling. Or at least I think, that could be comparable.

The place I have been is hard to explain, it's a  feeling maybe, like I know what the rest of my life holds. Or at least in part, however I am unacquainted with tomorrow. And I don't know what to do, type thing. An all I know to do is to get in God's presence and love on Him because honestly right now that is all that makes sense. Truly in my head many many things make sense but all I understand in my heart is His sweet presence and I am okay with that. Any thoughts on transition?



I know everything will be back to better than normal soon :)

HUNGER!

I refused to believe that God has put dreams inside of my heart that are unobtainable. I refuse to put my dreams and visions in a place of maybe in ten years this or that will happen. I will not distance my passions, imaginations, and expectations for a day I am unresposible for. I think today is the day for impossibilities to bow. I think today God wants to do greater works in and through our lives.

-I can't think of a reason creative miracles won't be normal in the next few years for every believer.
-I cant think of a reason all of Redding wont be saved.
-I cant think of a reason why I won't see all cancer and AIDS erradicated entirely of this planet.
- I can't think of a reason my children and their children will not inherit a world in world wide revival.

All these thoughts, stirrings, and hunger.
Has lead to the craziest miracle of all or maybe you should say the greatest miracle of all has lead to this type of hunger...
Union of God, friendship with God, being entirely one with Him, the mystery of the ages that creator God would dwell in us His creation.
Is the GREATEST miracle and the essence of life..
To know Him in His fullness!!

And I am consumed with the hunger to know God like never before in my life.
I mean consumed in the most extreme and intense definition of the word.
Obsessed with the desire to know...
Not merely justht e concept of God, the workings of God, or the nature of God, but the very personhood of God, the depth of Him. The secrets He has kept hidden for those who long to go into deep communion with Him.
communion means 7 things:
His presence, fellowship, sharing together, participation with, intimacy, friendship, comradeship.

We were born to know God to crave a friendship with Him and the more we feed this desire the more we know Him. And the more we know Him the more we want to know Him and be with Him because He is so sweet, desireable joyful,kind, loving, tender, fun, and lovely in every way. Ask him to come and meet you in a whole new way.. and as you do and continue to do so.. you will never be disappointed. You will be entirely satisfied in your desire to know Him more.

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.

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..

poem- you are

 You are...

I WAS BORN FOR THIS
this dream this thing inside of me to be birthed
with every ughhhhhh, oh my gosh, and come on!
something happens something grows
something happens something grows EVERY single time.
it is impossible for me to dream and it not come true
that thing you say is so contrayer to all reason
''that God you dream of is just to big''
everytime something grows.

often people say what do you want to be...
but it's more like look at who i have become
I would push, but why it is so natural
so simple, ease has become my middle name, (He has finished everything)
passion urupts almost to the point it looks like i might SELF frickin distruct
like an atomic bomb or a bushel of bannanas and donkey kong
i was made to explode with JOY and hope
i was made to be extreme to not be intimadated by the extraordinary.
Because thats what i am
can i make it yes i can
No i can 
you can, we can. 
Hold my hand and dont let go, lets take it fast lets take it slow, fast and slow again.
.
It just happens to be my very best friend is invisible and lives inside of me at once.


when i get around you it all makes sense
you are the chlorophyl in my leaves 
you are the breeze whispering into my tree
saying ''it's your time to bloom''
next to you I've taken a stand, you have intertwined your fine fierce roots in mine
together here we change the world
representing love into every hug, smile, word, and thought
knowing that all I have to do is wake up and you will show up.

Serenating me with the finest love songs of promise and security
leaving me with an expectancy of your goodness to continually be displayed.

You are the one
we are one
you dance in my belly.

It's here I truely cherish the confidence
that only comes from your presence.
And the awe and mystery of knowing the depths of you.

your words are a perfect sonnet froclicing through
my ears penetrating the deepest places in my imagination

washing through and through

spinning,  your cleansing everything

You are the original programer

rewiring my head showing me a world I never dreamed possible;

and that world has become a reality right before my very own eyes,

I did not contain the ability to imagine this,

even in my artistic mind that continually is inventing ideas, concepts, and new paterns

I thought I was highly creative until I met you,

I've now realized you are my source, and you don't mind sharing.

everything is swirling world of color world of life,

who needs rehab?

your love is my drug

my solo addiction

you are my delight

encompising all of my body

the entirety of all I am, have been, and will become

you have the ability to touch all at once

and bring into completion with just one word.

but i think you perfer kisses over words

and that I was born to tell the world.

A man, a God, a lover lives inside of me and

your kisses create planets, nebulas, and supernovas

i find myself getting sucked into your black hole of love

chosing to forfeit all of control. that is easy when drunk with love,

lying in the green pasture of unconditional acceptance

as you are creating a whole new galaxy for me to explore.

you are the most captivating first impression i have ever had

looking in your eyes is the way i learn theology and discover my love for gelotology

you invent and represent a way,

that never gets old, musty, or exausting it stays so fresh and ever so inviting

and i say yes yes yes to who you are.

to the dreams you have placed inside of me

yes to discovering infinite you more and more everyday of my life

yes to the eyes that displace lies, darkness, infirmity, fear

your eyes call me out of solitude as you put me before you.

your laughter is like a hoedown

taking over my farm

intoxicating me with the most profound peace and security

you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

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 :/

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

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!

Leg growing out! BAM!

Revival and Hot Tubs

"When we realize we are in family; we can't fail. Sucess is risk, it is doing what we have never done before knowing our father is in a GOOD MOOD and He can't help but show up when we step out in LOVE!"

Just got back a few days ago from a travel trip with Bethel.
I went with Jason Chin and a team to Ramona Ca.

I really enjoyed all of the laughs, jokes, miracles, testimonies, love encounters, spending time in the presence and soaking.. haha in a hot tub!

We started the trip with a thirteen hour drive from Redding to Ramona (outside of San Diego.)

At one point on the drive we were outside of Starbucks and Daniel one of the guys on the team was fake preaching to us three girls. Saying "Jesus is alive. He is here. He loves you He is healing a neck right now."

Right then a woman started to walk in Starbucks and was looking right at us. I asked her "Do you have a neck problum." She said yes. We released God's presence over her. She totally got healed!! This rocked me we were totally joking and still the "fake" word of knowledge was right. It just shows how easy, simple, and fun it is to partner with heaven. He really just wants to get out of us, and love the world around us!!

The Highlights:

personally stepping out in new levels of risk

experiencing family haha

riding a quad

starting some new awesome friendships

the simplicity of love and miracles

a new confidence to take risk

prayed for a man at a gas station without a leg even though I was scared.

*many neck problums healed

*a woman with 28 years of back pain in her lower back all GONE!!
*a woman who worked at a grocery store feeling God's presence for the first time

*lump disappeared on womans side no one even prayed
*legs grow out people gettting taller
*people touched through prophetic songs and art
*a man with cancer life come back into his body.. color came onto his skin. He could feel his feet and he felt as if walking on springs. A symptom of his cancer was numbness in his limbs. IT WAS ALL GONE!!! He said to me that he wants to start praying for the sick. Before he came to the meeting he had absoulutely no grid for healing or the miraculous but heard we would be able to help him so he came.. and of course PAPA showed up!!
*it was very exciting to see the church we were at get excited about praying for the sick, prophecy and treasure hunts

*people getting names and tons of clues on their treasure maps right and realizing they could her from God even though they felt they were making it up.. hahahaha!!

*it is impossible for us to step out and Him not show up!!
*had the honor of going on a treasure hunt with two 80 year olds and seeing them take risks they never before had taken.
And so many other amazing things!!


God is so in love with us.. He just wants to rock the world with His love!!! It is so easy and fun!
I challenge you to dream with God and take new risks!! But most important have FUN!!!!
hahahaha!! BAM!!!!!!! <3
