Fall Registration for FBSM

It's time to put out the word that our fall trimester starts a new year of Firebrand School. We have had such a good time in our first year! Everyone is learning....including the staff! Help us get out the word to any and all prospective students!!

I also want to take this opportunity to list the core values of our spiritual covering, Bethel Church Redding California, which also FBSM's heart-beat:
1. God is in a good mood. It's time to RE-present God to the world.
2. All things are possible. The supernatural should be natural.
3. Humans are significant and matter in all of God's plans.
4. The work of Christ is finished and complete. No promise of the Bible is off the table and awaiting another day.

Additionally, the following ten qualities are values of our life together with Bethel and their Global Legacy church network. Where revival is, these qualities will be evident:
1. God is known as only good.
2. An apostolic government is caring for the church.
3. Joy and hope abound!
4. Risk and faith abound!
5. A culture of honor is in place. It is deep and wide, from side to side, top to bottom and bottom to top.
6. Generosity is common.
7. A prophetic culture places a high value on the gift and gifts of the Spirit.
8. Worship and the Presence of God are viewed as precious and primary. (Worship is the response to the treasure of God's Presence)
9. The release of the supernatural is both natural and sought after.
10. A culture of grace empowers ALL and calls to account ALL.

Our God Reigns!

In Love With FBSM!!!

I just want to welcome you all back to Firebrand School of Ministry Spring Semester! I look forward to seeing all that God will do over this next semester. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the spiritual health grow and develop in each of us as individuals, as well as watching the corporate body. Finally, I would like to thank you all for your many prayers for supernatural healing and provision for my family and I through my recent neck injury. "Open Windows of Heaven in 2009" (PRD) Be Blessed, Live Blessed, Share the Blessing!

the enemy of your soul

The enemy of your soul wants to rob, kill and destroy you. The devil hates you. What he has come to rob, kill and destroy is your future, purpose and destiny. The devil does not care if you have every thing or nothing. He doesn't care if you are rich, and live in a mansion, with a pool, three cars, a yacht, a summer home and all the fixins. He doesn't care if you live in a shack, if you have even one car or any luxuries or even necessities. The devil does not care if you are crippled, or not. If you are sick or well. He doesn't care if you are a nice person, or not. He plain does not care about the relationships of the people around you. He is not about robbing the things that you have. (although he will, if that is what it takes.) He doesn't want your stuff. He doesn't really care if you do or do not have stuff. His real and only goal is to cause you to doubt the promises of God. To not believe what God has said. Just as the serpent said to Eve in the garden of Eden, "God didn't really say......" Now you fill in the blank....... "God didn't really say that this sickness would be healed...." "God didn't really say that you would lead your people out of this hellish excistance they are in." The enemy of your soul wants to rob, kill and destroy the very word that God has spoken to you. Now, how he does that comes in sly ways that look like an accident.... or in his lies and deception, makes things look like this is God's will for your life or the people around you. He can create nothing. His power is in deception, lies, robbing, killing, and destroying. Whether he uses outside things in your life to cause you to question or the antichrist spirit is whispering in your ear, "God didn't really say that, did he?" He is wanting the same outcome. To rob, kill and destroy your destiny in and for the one true God that does say "yes I am the way, the truth and the life!" Jesus is saying don't look back just come and follow me and I will show you great and mighty things. You will heal the sick. Signs and wonders will follow you everywhere you go. You will lead your people out of Egypt. You will have life and LIFE in abundance. You will do greater things than I.
Stand against the enemy of your soul. Stand in what God says. When you have done all else, just stand. You do not stand alone. We stand together. Do no do this on your own strength. Don't just hang on to the rope dangling in mid air. Wrap the rope around you and let the rope hang onto you. Don't just hang on to the promises of God in your own mind and reason. Wrap God's promises around you and swing free.........

I Say Again, THIS SCHOOL ROCKS

We are about to conclude our first trimester. Students are fighting to catch up on their homework and instructors are trying to catch up on grading their homework. Thursday marks the end of the the fall trimester.

Today we had yet another Holy Spirit melt-down. Pastor Darren led in a prophetic session and God was amazingly PRESENT. I am in awe. Last Thursday the Holy Spirit stepped in in a similar way and we were overwhelmed. Classes melted into a "Kingdom Come".

A prophetic word came forward today that blew my mind. God used our school name and said, "Firebrand School I have called you to see the heavens opened above you. I call you up into the heavens to be completely soaked into the power of the Kingdom".

Hey, Firebrand....lets take God at His Word and launch into the heavens!

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.
