The Theology of Healing

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!

Miracles in Madison.




Do you love incredible friends, world renowened pizza, beautiful heart felt worship, churches being transformed, creative miracles, and reivival!?
Then you should of been on my trip to Madison, Wisconsin!
Then Again maybe you were there.

God is doing Beautiful, wonderful things in Madison!!

My team and I did a youth service, three leadership meetings, a prophetic teaching time, an evangelism activation where we took people in the church out in the community to love on people, a Friday night service where we activated the church in a supernatural lifestyle and their Sunday morning service!!

The church we went to was a really fun innercity church of about 400 people. During youth group there was like 70 young people there. While we were speaking at first it appeared none of them were paying attention. As we prophecied over them they would chat with friends or stare at the floor but we chose not to be discourage, then we told them about God's presence and all of them started to feel warmth or tingling on their hands. Next 12 youth responded to wanting to be free from addictions.At least 20-30 young people gave their hearts to Jesus and invited Holy Spirit to be their best friend! COME ON!

Next I asked them who wanted to see God do a miracle through them! Almost all of them raised their hands. I said I need ten volunteers so how about ten people come up.. they rushed the stage and over half of them came up! I told them what a word of knowledge was and we went down the line. They gave words of knowledge and many miracles broke out through their hands or without anyone praying!!

Here are a few of the miracles!
Vertebrae aligned after 14 years no longer crocked neck.
Finger girl jammed knuckle hurt quick prayer by guy w word of knowledge all pain gone.
A Tumor the size of five inches by two inches totally dissolved along with a few other cysts!

Kid with cataracts thick glasses couldn't see exit sign now everything clearly
Giggling heat presence kids flipping out never felt him so strongly
12 legs grew out  first or six taller
12 backs better
A kid first time in church


Cleft pallet hole in roof of mouth when she talked you could hear wind, Cleft hole in her mouth is smaller... Crazy..

A girl who didn't know God had an encounter where Jesus said your eyes are beautiful.She couldn't move her eyes to see only head. she began to freely move her left eye she couldn't move it since birth.

Guy hadn't slept more than 4 hours in eight years slept.. 12 hours...

Hammer toes straightened out, his shoes fit and this problem had been there his whole life.

Women with arm condition five years lifted a bag first time since surgery.

Kk who didn't know if God was real he used her to grow out legs

Woman couldn't breathe in sleep, breathed first time 15 years through her nose.

Thank you God for all the miracles you did in Wisconsin! If you need a miracle in your body just start testing that body part out!!

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!

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!
