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

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

Very Exciting Spring Update

Naomi's Bethel Adventures

An Update and Exciting Announcement

               A Massive Thank you!

Thank you to all my family and friends all over the globe, my life is truly indebted to your prayers and support. Thank you for all of your encouragement, emails, phone calls, generosity, and believing in me, each one of you has a special place in my heart. Thank you for every seed you have sown in my life, not one of them has been in vain. I am so grateful to have you in my life and that’s why I have written this newsletter to honor you with an update of what has been happening in and through my life. I hope the work God has doing in my life encourages you because you have sewn into it!

This year I have been interning for Les Coombs at Bethel's Healing Rooms as my third year and final year at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California, which basically means I help lead the students in the healing rooms and see God do miracles every week as people come for prayer and ministry from all over the globe. Along with interning I have been taking ministry trips some of the places I have traveled to this year are Canada, Cuba, Oregon, California, Florida, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. Each trip has been amazing and completely life transforming! It has been such an honor and privilege. I have seen hundreds of people saved this year and thousands of verifiable miracles. Each day has been such an excitement and joy to experience God's extravagant love personally, to activate the body of Christ, pour into leaders and churches, and to see many people experience Jesus personally. I feel very privileged, honored, grateful, and overwhelmingly happy! We all serve a very great God!

Cuba Part Two

Cuba alter call, 60 people gave lives to Jesus

I went to Cuba for the second time in March and the trip far exceeded my high expectations. We did two leadership conferences on the east side of the island where foreigners rarely go. We were able to do teaching and trainings with leaders on many subjects including healing, prophecy, evangelism, and worship. Also we were able to leave each leader with a packet full of teachings our team had written in Spanish on thirty different subjects. Our final meeting was attended by 3,600 people in a city of 10,000 people; that means 36% of the city came to the meeting. I had the honor of doing salvation alter calls and over 150 people received Jesus personally. I met a woman who was in a horrible fire 10 years ago who's ears had been burned entirely off. I was able to pray for her and her ears literally began to grow in my hands as well as she had scars and burns that disappeared right in front of both of our eyes. A young man whose face was half paralyzed for four years is now able to move his face fully. A few thousand miracles happened, many people gave their lives to Jesus, and a few hundred leaders were trained and equipped. God loves Cuba!

 
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT

 This next year I will still be involved in Bethel's healing rooms and also I have been invited to do full time itinerate traveling as a part of Bethel which will just be an extension of what I have done this year. I am confident this is what God has for me in this next season of my life. I have received tons of confirmation and encouragement through my spiritual mothers and fathers and through prophetic words. Practically this looks like traveling to churches where I am invited and have relationship, teaching, and activating churches in a supernatural lifestyle. It looks like continuing to lead teams and ministry trips. I will be in relationship with mothers and fathers from Bethel while being mentored, empowered, and activated by them. I am very excited about this decision and these next few years to learn from Bethel staff’s wisdom and heart. I know I can learn so much from where they have been.  What they carry is so valuable to me and it is such an honor for me to be here and partner with what God is doing in Redding and globally through His beautiful Church!

The past few years during ministry school I have worked diligently maintaining my alone time with God, fulltime jobs, ministry, school, and travel; with all of that on my plate it has been wonderful and at times overwhelming. I now know the Lord is calling me to just focus on my relationship with Him, the relationships I have, and ministry. When I first heard this from the Lord it honestly was a surprised to me but I know this is what He is calling me to.  So with much prayer I have decided to no longer work at Red Lobster or any secular job. I will be living off of support and offerings from when I travel. I know I will see God’s faithfulness and His extravagant love in this area of my life. I am excited and expectant to see the ways He will provide as I trust Him and walk in faith.

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!
