where You go I go

I don't know what to say but thank you Jesus for everything! On Thursday I went to evangelize and so we did our usual thing: walking around the court yard and talking to people and showing them God's love. And so I was walking by this woman who was sitting on the concrete sitting area, or whatever it's called. And I just felt this strong pull to talk to her. She looked like she was in her early forties and from somewhere in Europe. But I just kept walking around near her and sitting down near her once in a while but couldn't find the courage to talk to her. And so finally I went up to my leader and asked him to pray for a release of boldness. And right when he prayed that I just felt so much courage and boldness that I walked straight up to her and started to talk to her. I didn't even know what I was doing or saying, I just started to talk. I asked her if she was taking class here and where she was from and all that stuff. And she finally asked "what do you want?" It didn't really startle me because I mean who just walks up to random people in a school they don't go to and try to talk about life and all? But I said that I just felt God really telling me to talk to her and so I asked her if she had any problems with her physical health that I could pray for and if she had any family, school, work problems. She was a very nice and wonderful woman and she told me about how she moves here from I think it was Yugoslavia, and about her family and she also said she had some leg pains. And I was just like awesome! I'm gonna pray for that! And so she left and I could feel the presence of God fall on her.
The next crazy thing that happened that night is that we prayed for healing for this woman at my church. She had a problem with her spinal cord disk where it was pinching her nerves and causing a lot of pain from her lower pack to her right ankle. And fire just fell from heaven and shot down her body and a spirit of peace and rest was released on her and for the past two days so far, she has been sleeping a lot better! Glory to God!
Friday night I had the chance to speak to my youth group. I spoke about the presence of the Spirit and how we need to do God's will: bringing heaven down to earth. I saw fire in one guy because his heart was just burning for God's desires. And a girl was convicted and changed by Jesus. It's just so awesome to see the people you hang with and grow up with grow in their faith and trust and love in their Saviour.
Tonight was off the hook! Blessing and joy were being poured out. I met up with my cousin and my friend at starbucks to talk about the living God. After, I just felt an urge to bless starbucks and the people inside it. It was crazy! Like even after we left, I kept getting pictures of starbucks in my head and a word of knowledge came to me to just bless that place. That place is gonna get blasted!

embrace

I now understand that verse about love. If I prophesy and heal and can fathom all mysteries but have not loved, I am nothing and I gain nothing. Last week I prayed for this guy who was on crutches. My cousin and I prayed for healing on his ankle and basically his whole leg. After the prayer he just had this sense that nothing happened. Maybe it was his lack of faith or it was a progressive healing. But God taught me that if I can heal this man but didn't love him like Jesus did, then I gain nothing and I am nothing. And so this week when I talked to another man, I asked God that I would just love him. I was sharing my faith and he was telling me his faith in buddhism. And part of me was like- I don't want to come in too hard and start throwing scriptures, so I'll respect him and just say the basic things about my faith and not try to talk about hell and his sins and all. And some might say that I shouldn't soften or make the gospel all pretty looking and nice. But I just tried to increase my love for him so that I will gain. If I presented the gospel but have not love, I am nothing.
God truly showed His love for me tonight while I was in my room. Dwelling in His presence and having Him speak to me is just the most amazing thing. And tonight I can say that I encountered the living God. And He blessed me and gave me prophetic words and healing. The glory of God was burning in my room.



Mountains. Blue. Red. Fire. J
I see you climbing a mountain. And you just have this heavy, heavy backpack, and you don't really know why you're hiking up this hill. God wants you know that you're looking at the wrong place for truth. You're trying so hard to pursue truth but the real Truth, Jesus Christ, is waiting for you. Your heart isn't like a lake. It is a river where the Holy Spirit enters inside of you and comes out to do supernatural things like healing and prophesying and seeing things in dreams. You kinda know the truth and all the Bible stories but the greatest truth is right inside of you. Let Jesus teach you and let him guide you. Come down from that mountain and let God's light burn a fire inside of you. He wants to show you things that you have never seen before. He wants to tell you things that you have never heard before. He wants to let you feel things that you have never felt before. Blue and red makes purple. God's showing me purple because He wants you to know that you are royalty. That you are a prince of the Kingdom of Heaven. Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young in faith, but set an example by the things you say, the way you live, the purity that you seek, the way you love, and the faith, though small right now, that can move mountains. Don't climb these mountains that lead you nowhere. Start moving mountains and show people that He is God and that you are his son and coheir with Christ. You are royalty! Lift up your head right now. Don't bow your head. Just stand up. I release blessing and a peace on you in Jesus' name. I bind any fear and false teachings inside and around you. And I release boldness, strength, and truth in Jesus' name. Do you hear a sound? It's the sound of Heaven invading earth!
