These days, Life is good.

Hello. Hello. You are so dear to me all my family and friends all over the planet. So if you are wondering what is going on in my life, or what I have been up to? Allow me to tell you.

I have been enjoying life fully. God has been really good to me as always and I have been having a lot of fun. Since September I have made a decision to grow my skills in pastoring, mentoring, coaching, and developing others. I have been mentoring some girls in Katrina Stevenson's revival group at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Which has been very fun and personally eye opening to discover something else I love doing! Being a part of peoples processes, seeing them succeed, celebrating their breakthroughs, and challenging them.

Also I have been enjoying many of my incredible friendships at Bethel as well as I have been learning so much from our itinerate traveling group BAM. BAM is a group of Bethel Itinerates that travel the world representing Bethel and who are in relationship with the fathers and mothers of Bethel.

I have been traveling the world itinerately by invitation for the past three years the first year with Bethel leaders and the last two as the speaker/leader of most trips I go on. So far in 2013 I have been to Mexico, Wisconsin, Chicago, Indiana, Oregon, Washington, all over California, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Canada, and Nebraska. God has been doing many amazing things from seeing marriages restored, entire congregations physically healed, to many salvations. Come on JESUS! I have also really enjoyed the second year Bethel students and friends I have been having on my trips as my ministry team. I have really been enjoying seeing God show up both in the streets and in the church. It has even been awesome all the stuff I am learning through Holy Spirit and my mentors in preaching and seeing God be God! It is an honor to serve God and be a part of what He is doing on the planet!

You may know that I was struggling with adrenal fatigue for a year and a half. I want you to know I am feeling much better. Thank you GOD! So much of my strength and energy has returned.

I want to thank all of you for the incredible role you play in my life. Thank you for your friendship, prayers, and believing in my life. You have been an incredible blessing to me. Thank you for being you.

Blessings to you,

Naomi West

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!!

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!

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

God loves conferences, airplanes, and the mall.

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!
