This week we had class on spiritual warfare, it was really cool on the last day we had a time to start doing warfare through praying. so we broke off into groups and stated lifting the city up to God. I asked God what actions i needed to do to start fighting, God said to me to take off my shoes, get on my hands and knees in the dirt. So i did that and then he told me to start pounding the ground with my fists i felt really weird and asked him why in the world i was doing this. he told me that it was me asking arch angels to start clearing out the Strongman of the city( which is the head demon) and so i just started to ask for them and kept on pounding haha.
The next day i went out to have my quite time and it started to rain, then i started to see lightening and then i heard thunder. it was really loud i mean loud, there was one time when i saw two flashes of lightening at the same time and it was like the thunder from each one tackled each other and just went stariaght to where i was standing. it made my bones rattle. then later on in the day it started raining hail, the people here said that they have never seen hail before. It was totally God cleansing this place, i had three different people come up to me saying that they had visions of God crushing satan haha
One of things i have been praying for is that God would take me to a whole new level with Him. well be careful for what you wish for cause God is crazy, it was the day before our last day on mini outreach and i felt like God wanted me to give the devotional for my group on Sunday which was our last day. So i was praying about what God wanted me to talk about then he was like i want you to give a verse for each one of my class mates. I was like ok thats cool so i started with the first person, i was reading and i found the word for him and then God gave me his name which was my "passionate one" then he told me that he was going to be a light to the Gentiles and that he will preach to people in was of love and mercy and that he will draw many to God. Each one of my class mates God gave me a name for them a word for them and something about what God was gonna do with them, what he thought of them, or something that they needed to hear in there walk with God. I was blown away by how powerful my group was and what God was going to do through them.
Sunday came and i started to tell the first guy what God gave me for him and before i was done reading the verse he broke down in tears, because he thought that God was never going to use him and that he was the weakest one in our Group. It was like this for each person as soon as i would read there verse they would brake down and start crying. It was so powerful, in that one morning everyone in my groups had an identity, a name in christ, and something that God wanted to share with them. This whole time i didnt relize what i was doing but my leader told me that i had just prophesied over 8 people ( including my leaders). She told me that God had given her my name which was "Gods Mouth" I now have the gift of phrophesy and just last night god gave me a word for one of the leaders at the base which i hardly knew and it was exactly what she had been praying for. I also recieved my verse last night through my discipler which is jeremiah 1:5-10 its freakin awesome.
OK let me start by just saying that i went on a mini outreach last week and stayed at one of the local churches in the city. When my group got to the church we were told to just hang out the whole day, then the next day they told us the same thing. At the time i was really frustrated because another group had went out of the city to another church and i really wanted to go, so i was getting really bored. then on the third day the pastor told us to go around the neighborhood knocking on doors and talking to peaple. this was really hard for me cause its really hard for me to know what to talk about. so through this whole process God was really moving in me cause i was just learning to obey him and trust him. on the Fourth day i asked God to surprise me and he did, the pastor took us to a hospital to tell people about Jesus. so i went into one of the rooms with translator and i saw a lady reading her bible and was with her 7 month year old baby. We talked to her and she was a christian and was having a hard time. My buddy was talking to her and i just asked her if could pray for the baby and she got this huge smile and said yes. i laid my hand on him and just started to commit his life to God, i dont know he was healed but i know God moved in the baby and the mom it was really just a time to bless them.
We left the hospital and the pastor said we were going to stop at a house to pray for a guy that had fallen away from God and had gotten into a lot of stuff. we Got to the house and we talked to him alittle bit then we all joined hands in a circle. i was holding one of his hands, during the middle of the prayer i felt God telling me that he had a demon of abuse in him so i started rebuking it. the guy started to manifest, it was big but he started to get really tense and then started shaking. after alittle i let go of one of classmates hands to put it over his heart cause he had more. it ended that he had four spirits i got three out and my leader got the other one out. The whole time i was at total peace and was really chill. it was such a cool experience the guy was crying and you could totally see the freedom in his eyes. Im making myself a name in hell!!!
I just talked to my parents and they filled me in on all the junk that is going on the in the school, I feel like God is telling me share what I feel about it
If there one that i have learned on this trip is that is bigger then any situation. I definetly think that the school is under attack by satan, i have no doubt in my mind. One things is that we need to stand together if we are united satan cant divide us and if we arent united that is really dangerous becuase it is taking us from the most important weapon we have, prayer. I am interceding for the school all the time and rebuking satans hold over it.
Something i have been learning is that God will use situations that seem so hopeless and that seem impossible to fix. When the time is right God will come in with all his glory and power and restore what the enemy is trying to do and show that he is almighty. Have hope and peace and trust in God he is testing the school and to see how faithful it is, maybe it was to to proud and needed to be humbled. Whatever the reason is keep praying and interceding for the school. Whats happening leaves me really disturbed in my spirit, when i heard what happened to Doug, Chip, and, Sue i felt sick. I love the School and im not going to let it go without a fight. I trust in God and even if worst comes to worst then its part of his will and we wont be able to understand it but he is God and all knowing.
Another thing is DO NOT start disrespecting the people doing this, we need to pray that God will give them wisdom and decernment. We also have to remember that God has set them up in authority and going against them is going against God. The first being to rebel was Satan and it is really powerful and he will totally use it to destroy us.
I love everyone and stay strong because we serve an all powerful God who is Just and Righteous!!!
One of the questions i was asked during my class was Who Am I ? During my quite time i asked God to tell me who i was. Before i asked him i was thinking that he would tell me i was a warrior or a counsilor you know something cool. I asked him and he told me one word ´Nothing´, Haha it still makes me laugh i realized that im nothing, im worthless, im not valuble, I have nothing to offer, and that God doesnt need me at all. God totally woke me up, this whole time i have thinking that God needed me to change people and that i was trying to please him by doing all these great things for him. The cool thing is im everything, im worth all, i am valuble, i have everything to offer, and God desires me, because of one thing i have the blood of jesus over me. God doesnt care if i do this or that, i will never have to earn his love, if i fail or acomplish my task. Gods love is to big and im still trying to figure it out(i dont think i ever will). Im trying to learn to be humble and that was one of the most humbling experiances i have ever had. God is good.
Where to start, well this week was probibly the hardest to deal with, the demon week was intense but this one just was really hard. We had classes on inner healing and i never really knew how screwed up i was lol. The whole week we learned a ton, like the walls we have put up, what kind of personality we have, and, what kinds of munipulation we use. I was learning so much, i have at least 20 pages of notes on it. On friday though they had a time of healing( they would call us in a room and two of the staff would pray over us), the whole week the teacher gave us questions to ask ourselves and we told them to the staff.
I went in ready and had all my questions answered, i was doing fine until they asked me where i came from. I said I came from a blessed past and a loving home, my leader looked at me and said go deeper and ask God to show you why you are who you are. I prayed and God gave me a memory from a long time ago, i was ten and i was in a soccer league. I remember all the kids making fun of me because i smiled to much, I realized ever since then i started to put my joy and expressions in a box. As i got older i started to lock them up, i vowed never to be made fun again becuase it really hurt me. I learned to surpress all my emotions my joy, my anger, and, my saddness. This whole time God was just giving me all these memories of when i was hurting and i locked up the pain and didnt deal with it.
I went out of the the room in total pain because i had all these mixed emotions coming out i went outside and just started to pray. I started thinking this whole time i have been here i not cried, everyone of the guys had and i thought that God wasnt working me and that i was left out. So i just was sitting there thinking about all the hurt and mad at god because i still couldnt cry. I didnt know how to deal with them so i just put all I was feeling away and took a nap.
On Saterday the base had a celibration on our inner healing and some of the students gave testimonies on what God healed in them. I was in so much pain because i was the only one who was not healed, it was so hard to be happy for the others so i just went outside. I sat down and started to ask god why he wouldnt heal me and i just thought about all the pain again. All of a sudden these huge sobs started pouring out of me, they were really deep it was like God was reaching inside me and unlocking me. I was finaly broken I let go of everything. The process is only starting for me, I have all the hurt from the past out of me but my joy is the next one to come. God is Good
