prayer

I want to share what God is saying to me about the election. It's so amazing how it fits in with Pastor's preaching, isn't it? We do have an amazing God!
On election day, I voted at 10:30 in the morning. I voted for John McCain, knowing that he was not who was going to become president. It is the right, priveledge and responsibility of the people to vote. It was a busy day and I didn't check to see who actually won the election. The next morning was early morning prayer at church, I still didn't check or know the outcome, but I knew, and was very excited about it. In prayer, God said, pray for the nation.
In intercession, the Spirit showed me a mulitude of people crying out for a king. Many of these peoples were being led by racial motivation only. God gave them their king. There was still a great excitement with this. Because God was saying "If My people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their ways, then I will heal their land. The excitment is in the greatness of our God and those things that look impossible are the very things that are possible with Him! It would not be seen as a miracle from God if the election went the other way. God is ALWAYS in control. Then, that night at church Pastor Randy preaches on Barak Obama being like King Cyrus. And God having his hand on him. This is so good! So exciting! What an exciting time in history! In this culture of honor, I honor this man. He is very intellegent, and we are in for a totally cool ride. But again, I want to stress that the people of God, those called by His name, must turn from their own ideas, ways and thoughts on this whole thing and pray!! God will hear our prayers and heal our land!!! He hears our voice and we are living under an open heaven in this place! God forgive us for being prayerless. Forgive us for doing our own thing, we want your will and your ways for this country. For all of the peoples. For generations to come. Use this man, Barak Obama, to carry out Your plans for Your kingdom. Transform his heart before our very eyes. Heal our land on earth as it is in heaven!! God, let President Bush finish his tasks well and go out of office with honor.... And bless our new President. May you bless him and keep him, and may your face shine on him... Your will be done, Your Kingdom come, here on earth as it is in heaven! amen. I encourage you to keep praying for our nation!! Love you guys!

The Healing Lab Rocks

The healing lab has been awesome! Sometimes it is hard to recognize how God works because He works in ways we don't always understand. As students of the Firebrand School of Ministry, the healing lab has allowed us a chance to experiment in a classroom setting that actually allows God to move. We have had the opportunity to gain "Bible experience" by praying into heaven where God shows us what He is doing and what He wants us to do. We have a potential that we can live up to, if we so choose. That potential includes how much of heaven we bring to earth. So, we need to move how God leads. This means not limiting Him by how we think He operates. God "colors outside of the lines"- He shows Himself in unusual ways. For example, we have been seeing and finding feathers all over the church. Some would say this is a coincidence, but I say, "Thank you God", for thinking of us! I have learned I have to allow God to move outside of my "box" of thinking. He will do things outside of my reasoning mind! He can, He is God! We, as Christians, should be able to see God when He moves! Look for Him.

Healing Lab Reports

In the last week we have done 2 healing labs for my class, "Kingdom Culture". I challenged the students with the very words we are learning, "Bible knowledge without Bible experience is worthless." The first time we did it I asked for those in the class with any physical issues to share them with us. The first student had a knee problem and everyone went after it in the manner that the Father was showing them. Long story short, after 3 attempts in 3 different approaches, the knee got healed! Then, the second student shared about her shoulder pain. I instructed everyone to "pray into heaven and see what God is doing." Almost instantly God spoke through 2 or 3 students to "speak the Word" of healing without any one moving. It was awesome.

In the second "lab" I instructed everyone to start praying into heaven and have God show us who needed prayer without anyone tipping their hand as to their need beforehand. If I remember correctly, all 5 students in the class received a Word that was completely accurate for the need of someone else in the room.

Like I said in an earlier post, "This school rocks."

On the first day of school, God gave me this scripture.......
Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you as well as every dry tree: the blazing flame will not be quenched and the whole surface from the south to north will be burned by it. all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. Ezek. 20:47-48
I am reminded of it again. Get ready! God is going to consume you again and again! He is the all consuming fire that is set as a seal upon your heart! Isn't He awesome!! He is an all consuming Forest fire!!
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire! His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Luke 3:16b-17
All consuming fire, Come baptize us! again!

Congrats!!! to Megan and Tyler!!

Wedding memories to treasure!

This School Rocks

Repentance in it's purest form

I have been waiting all of my 24 years of not being an overcomer in my christian walk to hear a message on repentance that would require change! To repent beyond an overcoming lifestyle.

I used to say, " if I do not hear a minister stand up and cry for repentance I do not know what I will do" I did not know what the message was but I knew desperately I needed it!

I started getting thrown into treatment at a very young age 12 or 13 years old. I remember thinking if I need to stop using just to be a "good girl" it's not enough.

I've in some ways carried that thought process into my christian walk.

This principle of repenting to the fullfillment of not just an overcoming lifesyle for myself and others but repenting all the way to recieve the full destiny and see the destiny of others come to pass as we pull the whole deal of The Kingdom of Heaven to this earth!

In prayer before service we were crying out for the real deal God we want the real thing here God "what is it going to take" we want your fire to fall like never before in history God. We want the real drink served here. Give us new wine skins for the new wine God. Touch your people in this place...show us how you want us to pray God...

Our prayers were answered, "Pastor Randy is moving into incredible boldness and is so incredibly transparent and real, we love him!" We will stand behind him in prayer!

As I was saying our prayers were answered, we have a new revelation that the Holy Spirit can now use to direct us in prayer, to repent into what God has for this place and the people in this place to never stop repenting we are going all the way with you God, there is no other!!!

Iv'e heard it said before to live a life of victory you need to live a life of repentance. If your mind like mine was defining repentance just to be a good girl or a good boy, you know then that just was not enough. Then Iv'e heard it said also to repent is to change your mind and go another direction but if your mind is not changed about repentance and you do not get the revelation of repenting into your destiny, your mind will never be changed to go another direction. Wow!

How incredibly wonderful is the word of God, our Father, the work of Jesus Christ, the precious Holy Spirit and the manifestation of the Sons of God!!!
