VACATION UPDATE

Hi everyone. sorry its been a while since i blogged. :)   A lot has happened since we last talked.

My wife Melissa surprised me with a trip to Maui, Hawaii for 9 days as a birthday/honey moon vacation. We have been married now for four years but had not had a honey moon. So, she took some money from cashing in on her 401k after quiting her job to do this.  I know, some of you are thinking what on earth would you pull out from your 401k? well, lots of reasons, but ultimately, money does and will never run my life. Faith in the Lord Jesus does!  

We were blessed to have our beloved friend SueEllen watch our kids while we were gone, with the help of Ryan, Laura, Brandon, and Savannah. The 9 days felt like forever away from the kids. But, it was a long over due time alone with my beautiful wife, and i enjoyed having her to myself. lol 

studio

we stayed in a nice small 250 sqft studio. Fully decorated with beach Hawaiian flavor. it was cozy and cute. The owners were nice, Christian couple, full of helpful hints and tips to give to make our stay for hospitable. They also landed us boggy boards and snorkeling gears to use at the beach. 

big beach

Most of our stay was going to different beaches in order to find the best.  :)  We settled on Big Beach. located south west of the island of Maui.  The sand was a perfect gold color with a softness I can't describe. Lets just say that when you rub it all over your hands, it feels like ex-foliating your hands. Loved it.  The water was lite, clear and a beautiful 70 degrees. Just like the pictures you see online.

When we started have sun burns we decided to put a day between going to the beach and site seeing around the island.  We went to see the 10,000 ft tall volcano. it took us 2hrs to drive to the top, then we hiked 2hrs into the crater of the volcano. The temp up there was 30degrees colder then the ocean surface. 

We had a great amazing view of the clouds and landscape as we drove up past the clouds. 

volcano summit

We had a night where we were on a diner cruise, and had drinks, steaks and amazing cheese cake, while enjoying an amazing view of the island from the sea.

summit

We ate at ocean side restaurants, and local dive sushi bars. we had a native lady rip us off by selling us some over priced fruits, and jewelry on the road side to the beach.  but we did enjoy the best tasting pineapple ever!  And the coconuts were something else.

diner cruise

We did the drive to Hana. The side of the island where you drive 3hrs on a winy 625 hair pin turns road through the rain forest, and you get to see many natural water falls, pools of water, and views of the ocean. 

We went snorkeling one afternoon, by Black Rock Sheraton Hotel, at Kaanapoli beach.  We say beautiful colorful fish, and a sting raw swam right across my face, freaking me out, and I swam as fast a possible to the shore. lol

We did karaoke one night. Melissa sang me a love song while I sang her one as well. she sang, "Your still the one" by Shania Twain.  I sang her, "Bless the broken road" by Rascal Flats. It was amazing, we wooed the crowd. lol. 

Over all the trip was fun, relaxed, and romantic. 

We even got to minister to a couple homeless men. 

We got home to a couple of sick kids with a cold. It was upsetting to see them sick. Its been like four days now, and they are still getting over it. arrrr!

We've had an amazing thanksgiving day. Got invited to Rose's house. She is a sweep lady with a nice heart. She gave us two 10lbs turkeys and potatoes to cook. it was nice.  

Today was Black Friday. My wife went shopping at 3:30 am. then slept all day, and I went to buy tools at home depot with the kids.

Then we went to the mall for our weekly meetings. I prayed for a bunch of people, but one in particular, a young guy with his father, was healed instantly of knee injury and left holding up his crutches. Praise God. 

Well thats it for now. Love you all. Bless ya

Have an amazing holiday break. 

A Fresh Look at Maturity as Sons

How did a simple, different, and uneducated man like me get plugged in with a group of young and on Fire men and women in San Jose, California? A location known as, Silicon Valley, a place known for computer, the web, and nerds :-)  These guys are so passionate about the word of God, and setting this place on fire! One of the leaders in the group has a vision of getting these big computer web companies like Google and stuff to catch wind of the Gospel and it will spread like wild fire all over the world.

So again, what the heck am I doing here? Computers are not my thing, up to this point. I have met some amazing people. I have prayed for more people here in 4 weeks then I ever have in all five years of being a Christian, and I'm ashamed to say so. Coming here, seeing what these guys are doing, and letting myself be a part of this move of the body of Christ, has really set a fire under my butt!

I've often dreamed of living in Africa, Mexico or somewhere urban where people really need a touch from God, in a supernatural way...a land filled with clear demonic life styles, where diseases are rampant. A place where I would feel like a hero to the people. David Hogan is a clear picture of something I would love to do. However, as I am maturing in Christ, I've begun to see and acknowledge that this gospel of the kingdom, is not some game, or fantasy.  These are real men, women, and children dieing everyday because I have not humbled myself enough to see past my own wants and needs.

The kingdom of God will and has to advance into peoples lives, or they die. John 10:10 tells us so.
We need to begin to see clearly with our eyes and hearts at the "real" word of God, which is Jesus.(John 1:1-6)
The Kingdom is a real place in the spirit, just like earth. We become law abiding citizens of the Kingdom of God, here and now on earth, when we become children of God, through the blood of Jesus. We repent and turn to Jesus, and pledge to follow his laws and not our own.  It's His kingdom, not ours. We were bought with His blood into this relationship with God, through adoption, as sons. Therefore, we must be good and faithful sons. We advance the kingdom of God in us, when we take over territories in peoples mindsets with the Gospel. People advance the kingdom through their lives. We are kings. We should conquer our lands and subdue it accordingly. Gen. 1:28

I found out lately that we are children of God and not yet sons. In the Hebrew tradition, a boy was not yet labeled a son by his father, but a servant, until the boy was mature enough to know and care for the affairs of his father...being entrusted with tasks, and works. Then, and only then, would the father officialy "adopt" him as a son. Very interesting indeed.

But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on His name: John 1:12

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14
Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all. Galatians 4:1
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15

So, I propose to you all that when you are born again, you technically are a son, but a child only able to drink the milk of the word, and not any meat. (John4:34)
As you mature in Christ, and you begin to get responsible to handle the affairs of you Father's kingdom, you will Do the will of your father, and His desires will become your desires. You will know the heart of your father, and you will become like Him.

Oh, friends how I long to grow up faster, so I too can partake in this wonderful work that God is doing already.
The question I hear alot from fathers all over, is "Well, what does doing the will of God look like for a husband, and father of 'x' # of kids?" " How can I fit ministry into my life with my job and all the responsibilities I have?"  My response would have to be, not how to fit the kingdom into "your life", but die to yourself and make your life fit into the Kingdom. Whatever sacrifices you have to make.

Jesus said in Matt 14:44-36. "The kingdom is like a man who sold everything to buy a field when he knew there was treasure in the field...and also a pearl of great price."
You see, it's not about us fitting the kingdom into our lives but ours into the kingdom.

Hope this will help anyone thats been asking God these questions.

I love you guys and I'm praying that all your questions and needs be met in Christ, speedily.

Glory and Freedom

My Trip around California

hello everyone..


i went on a trip with Travis Young, Nathan Funk and Josh, for 8 days. we started last Saturday night at Yosemite National Park. we spent one night there and most of the next day climbing rocks, mountain and trails. the night was super cold. it must have started out about 60 and ended up at 30 over night. the funny thing was, the 8 person tent that was donated to us for the trip was missing the top cover. leaving us with a mosquito netting  as a roof. the positive side to this was we had an amazing star gazing night for the next 4 nights. lol
 Every time i or anyone else would say," oh, look at the stars..." Travis or I would start singing the song sang by cold play, "look at the stars, look how they shine for me..." lol. it was hilarious.   Saturday night we went exploring the mountain side where we camped out. we had beans for dinner in the cans over a fire. it was awesome! 

        so the next morning we went to climb a mountain on a 2.5 mile trail. Travis had his camera so i didn't bring my phone to take pictures. sorry. it was a view, let me tell you.

   we then headed for Death Valley National Park. a 7hrs drive. we got there and the weather was around 85 at 9pm. we went to bed and the weather cooled down to a nice breezy 75. we had 5 hrs sleep that night in efforts to drive around early before the sun rise to take pictures. the hottest recorded ground temp was about 200 degrees. it was crazy. we spent about 5hrs sight seeing. we walked on a salt ground, called bad water, where the water evaporated and left two inches of salt on the ground. being food minded as i am, i could resist all the free pure natural salt. so i bagged a big bag of it to take home. hehe

       we arrived to "Slab City" in Hiland, CA a little south of salton sea, near LA.  If you are not familar with slab city, then i recommend you rent, " In to the wild" a documentary of this young man who went on a hiking trip across america and settled at slab city for a few days and on to canada. its a sad stroy, he ended up dieing of poisoning before he came home to his family. but, the move helped make slap city a poplar place.

slab city is a old abandoned military city where there is nothing left now but concrete slabs on the ground. its currently filled with hundreds of hobos, jobless, sick, and or vacationers who come and live "for free" for a season or like some who are there, have lived there for 30 years. 

what makes this place special to us is a man named Lenard Night. who hand build for the last 20 years, a mountain 25 ft hight and about 150 ft long, completely covered in painted scriptures and God loves you. this now recognized as a national monument is called, Salvation Mountain. the mountain is made up of straws, wood, car and truck tires, and adobe. its amazing. lenard is a God loving soul who want the whole world to stop and pray to God all at the same time and just say, "I love you God."

we spent two days ministering to people who lived in slab city. in afternoon, travis and I went to town and set down to do a bible study and drink a soda at a local grossery store. in the two hrs we were there, we ministered to the store owner, and 80% of the people who came through the store. we healed a few people of minor pains, and one with devils. 

we were invited to diner and breakfast/ bible study with a family who were the only family out there doing ministry to the whole city. we pored love, life, revelation, joy in to there hearts and encouraged them a lot. we also go to minister healing to a few locals there. 

we were finally able to take showers that day, when we came across the Salton sea. it looks for a far off like a beach. white sand and water. but when you get into the sand. its really full of dead skeleton fish. it was terrible. we used the public showers and then went back to our tents. however on our way, we went through border patrol. that was awesome. we were asked to pull over, because Nathan and Travis were Canadians and I said I was born in Africa and Yosh, he didnt even have his wallet. so they took him in to a room to question and do finger prints and us the did a drug dog search of our car. lol we had that bag of salt in the car, and it didn't look good. lol. Josh made it out alive and was given a warning. 

            The next night we arrived in San Diego. we didn't have a place to crash, so we prayed and posted up on FB that we need a place to crash. as we went to the beach there to swim, we got word that Travis's cusine who he didn't know lived there welcomed us over and gave us an amazing dinner and Breakfast. God is Good!!!

the next day we arrived at LA and crashed at Josh's aunts house, who had cancer. we ministerd to her while we were there and we also met up with Nathan's friend. we where there two days. we went to the beach everyday and ministered to people while playing volleyball. we ministered to people in Disney land. and on the streets. 

    that day in Disney Land, we found out how God loved everyone and we needed to minister to everyone we see and not just people with obvious pain or sickness in there bodies. when we started loving on everyone there, we felt this over whelming love in our hearts for souls. it was different. i liked it. and i will do that more. It has become so important to me that I need to get better at word of knowledge and prophesy. it really helps and encourage people. its a great attention and conversation starter.

    we were invited for dinner and to stay at this family's house. there were a blessing beyond my expectation. there son went to bethel for two years and the family were big in the "drunk inthe spirit: thing, but i gotta say, they knew how to show love. we had an amazing dinner, breakfast and lunch at there house. i loved it. lol

  church on sunday morning was amazing, i never went to a church before that all there worship songs where new covenant songs. it was good. we had our mail read to us and I grew out the pastors leg.

we also healed a few other people there. we left later then we thought, but made it back home in San Jose by 11pm that night. 

over all i think the trip help me personal more then I did anyone else. I learned compassion is the #1 focus in doing ministry. not, oh i have the power in me to affect peoples live, and operate in that mentality only, but both.  Its one think to have the knowledge, but another to walk in revelation and experience.

thank you Jesus for you over whelming Love and compassion for people.

God bless you guys reading this, and know that we are the answer to the worlds cry for Jesus! we do not have time to waist around watching TV or playing games. we need to renew our minds and go and be love to some one who doesnt know Jesus!!!

love you guys.

"THE FALL" and OUR ADOPTION AS SONS

Genesis 3:1-7

This is a short revelation I got about how man (Adam and Eve) lost their positions as Sons, kings, lords of this earth. But how Jesus threw the Cross restored us back to God the father.

There is an amazing connection between the story of the fall of man, and the story Jesus told about the prodigal son. I will try and explain what the Holy Ghost showed me, through the eyes of my heart, about that connection.  Lets start with the fall of Man, after Satan asked Eve what God told her concerning the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Eve told the serpent that God told her she couldn’t eat of that tree, because the day that she or Adam ate that fruit they would surely die. And they did. You see, Adam and Eve were Spirit beings given a fleshly body to live, rule and dominate this earth just like their brother Jesus did in Heaven. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Matt 6:10

Satan was cast down to the earth, we find this out later, and he came to them in a form of a serpent. Knowing he could not take the power and authority away from Adam and Eve by force, he decided to deceive them into eating the fruit that will give them the knowledge of good and evil, causing them to die. What does that mean? Well, we know that they didn’t die because they lived to have Cain and Abel. So, this death was not physical but spiritual. The devil knew that the only way to get all the power and authority was to get Adam to disobey God and willingly give his servant-hood to Satan by deceiving him into obeying him instead of God. 

Paul says in Romans...

Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

So, the fall of man, was Adam giving his God given authority and power to the devil by willingly disobeying God and obeying satan instead. Therefore causing spiritual death, and becoming slaves/servants to the devil.

Now, what did satan mean when he said, you will not surly die but your eyes will be open and you will be like gods?

Satan knows scripture better than most “Christians”. But, he knows that where ever we lack knowledge, is where he has the advantage. Rom 8:1: [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Satan knew that if he could get Adam and Eve to die spiritually, and get them to operate only in flesh, their physical eyes, (conscience) open to the knowledge of good and evil, it would cause them to feel condemned, and to separate from God. The open eyes part of it was that walking in the flesh causes you to separate from God, and it gives satan full grounds to mess with you, because you are now in his territory. Remember Adam gave satan his authority when he decided to obey him.

Before Jesus came to die on the Cross, satan ruled the physical earth, and the right to mess with our minds and bodies, causing sickness and diseases, possessing us with devils and killing us.

John 10:10 devil comes to steal kill and destroy.

How were Adam and Eve as gods like satan said they would be? Well, satan lied. They were already as gods, because, they were made in the likeness of God the father, and Jesus, our elder brother. He lied and deceived them, because they were naive.

 John 10:34: Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?

Here is the Good news. Jesus was sent to earth, born as a man, because only a son of Man can reclaim the right and authority of man given to man by God back to man from the devil, but that man had to have no sin. Only God could help us, where we could never help ourselves.

Rom 8:1: [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Walking after the spirit was when Christ came to give us His life, and His righteousness, and His authority and dominion.  Welcome to the new-creation-life friends, where we are now restored back to God as His sons.

Rom 8:19: For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (that’s you and me) you have the full power and authority as sons of God to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils. Freely you've received, freely give!!!

Now, as for the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. The son left the presents of his father, his kingdom and his given inheritance in that kingdom, and took with him all that he made (money) while working for his father.  The son, left the kingdom and spent all his father’s money on the lust of the eye, the lust of the fresh, and the pride of life.

And it came a time when he lost every thing, and had no where to go. No one to help him. You see the devil came to steel kill and destroy. And only you have the power to let him do it, or stop it.  After a while, the son remembered how he lived as a king in his fathers house, and how even the servants were treaded better then he was out here in the world. So he took off, for his fathers’ kingdom. Seeking first, his fathers’ kingdom, and all its righteousness, knowing everything else would be added on to him. Lol

Lets notice how his father’s attitude was like, when he saw his son coming home from a far off.  You could have been like most Christians are today. Saying, that boy of mine, spent all my money on the world, how do I know if he really means sorry by coming home? Or is he just mooching off of me. I should make him suffer for what he did. Teach him a lesson. You know reaping what he sowed?

No, far from it. He ran out to meet him. Knowing full well the thoughts his son had. His son could have still turned back. He was still a far off. He could have let all the condemnation get to him. But his father ran to meet him, with a hug and a kiss. Killing the fattest calf and putting sandals on his feet. Restoring his authority and position back into the kingdom. As a real beloved son.

This really made me cry.  Out father, loved us so..much that he gave his only son to die for us while we were yet sinners, so that we may become his divine inheritance.  John 3:16

God has totally restored us back to the kingdom. Just as though Adam and Eve never disobeyed.  This really is good news. We are now sons kings and lord over the earth. As it is in heaven. We are Royalty!!! 

Glory and Freedom, In Christ.

LOVE NEVER GIVES UP ! ! !

  

         
 This is going to be the first for me. I’ve never actually done what I have always imagined in my heart since I became born again.  I have had a serious desire to do the work of Jesus; healing the sick, casting out devils and doing miraculous things. I have dreamt of going to the ends of the world, just for the one, who needed “the touch” from Heaven.

A few days ago, I was invited to pray for a man who, due to a motorcycle accident, has been paralyzed from his lower chest down for the past 3 years. His name is, Kevin. A very humble, hospitable young man, who 3 years ago was no where close in relationship with God to where he is at now.

This would be my chance to actually live the life the Holy Spirit has been trying to motivate me to live. I made sure my heart was right, and my house cleaned up. Got my priorities right, which is, seeking first the Kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness and everything, shall be added on to you. (Matt 6:33)

Something I encourage everyone to do, but it’s not required “before” you go and preach the gospel or heal the sick. You don’t learn then go, you go and you learn as you go.

 But, it is required if you want to be obedient, and in the case of fully depending of God to provide all your needs then I recommend seeking first the kingdom of God.

2Cr 9:8   And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work:

 (Note: to do good works for the kingdom, not for your own benefits.)

Up to this point, Kevin has been on a diet that causes him to fall asleep late past the evening and wake up near afternoon. He spends the day alone with his parents reading and listening to Bible audio teachings and other Christian known leaders in the faith, such as Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, and so on. Looking for an answer to the Question, I believe, lies deep inside every person sick and/or has loved ones struggling with the topic of Faith and Healing, which is;

“Why am I not healed yet, if I profess in my heart to know and believe Jesus bore my sickness and disease, and have declared over myself that by his stripes I was healed?”

I use to struggle myself with that question in regards to my son, Josiah and his manifestation in complete healing. But, after seeing the results in healings I have been getting when I pray for people on the streets, I must say that I stand stronger on the word of God and what He “has already” done for our healing.  The facts are, God has already paid full price for our healing, and the devil has been defeated. So I’m the middle man who is the one commissioned to serve man and free him from his infirmities. I have been given full responsibility to go and preach, saying the kingdom of God is come onto you, your sins have been forgiven, believe in the Lord Jesus, and heal them etc. (Matt 10:7-8)

I arrived at Kevin’s home, located somewhere in the Prescott valley of Arizona, late Tuesday morning. I was welcomed by Kevin with a surprise look on his face. On a later conversation, as I was attempting to show him how God’s promises are always sure to happen because He was the one making the promise not us, and He is a God of His word proven throughout history, I asked Kevin when I told him I was coming that afternoon, if he believed me. His response surprised me. “I wasn’t sure,” Kevin said.  I asked why, and he said, “because in the past people have promised to come either hangout or pray for me and they never showed up.”  This is wrong church. 

Kevin mention of a few believers who have attempted to pray for him at church. “It was weird and I could see the look on their faces that they didn’t believe I could walk and they were just laying hands on me for the sake of doing it in church.” Kevin said.

I was told of only two believers coming over to his home to pray for him, and on either occasion their prayers only lasted 30minutes.   This short amount of time to lay hands on the sick would be fine if that person was seeing incredible results, accompanied with limited availability to spend more time one on one.  What you are hearing me say, is my own opinion. Take it for what its worth.  If you are not seeing amazing results in every one you pray for and you can make time to spend in prayer for that person. I think that it would be good.

With my son, I have resorted to spending time everyday laying my hands on him, imparting Life into the needed cells to heal him. I have seen good results so far.  I have made Romans 8:2 a key part of my praying for healing. “For the law of the spirit of life, has set me free from the law of sin and death.” I have read testimonies from John G.Lake’s book, on how his family members that got sick were put in isolation for a period of time. Devoted to praying and speaking in tongues, doing shifts, until the person sick, was totally healed, without any unbelievers welcomed in the room with them. In some situations it took two weeks.

Perseverance, discipline, love and long suffering are the keys to developing a strong character. It helps renew your mind, and makes you stronger in the area of healing.  It also shows the person who is in need of the miracle, like Kevin, to see that you really do care about them. 

I stayed over, praying and touching him almost the whole 8 hours I was there. We saw break threw in the area of pain, and his big toe moved when he willed it.  Kevin said that it was the first time that pain left when I put my hand on his back. There is however much more completion that needs to happen in Kevin’s body, but I am 100% sure that 8 hours of life imparting on him has done a lot, if not all that’s needed.

Kevin’s mom was also present in the house, and she too needed healing for unknown sores of pains in her back/ shoulders and arthritis in her hands. She got completely healed instantly. Pain free, for two days now, thank you Jesus!

Kevin and I were discussing about how the Holy Spirit was a must have as a Christian.

I will leave you with this last remark, and then I will pick up on it on my next blog.

Being a believer without having the baptism of the Holy Spirit, is like a police officer standing in the middle of the road directing traffic. He has Authority over that area and in charge of directing traffic. But without being filled with Spirit, if a car decided to rebel and not follow his authority then there was no way he could stop the car from crashing in to him and others. But having the Holy Ghost, is like the police officer in a tank on the road directing traffic, and who ever decides to rebel against his authority, having that tank(HolyGhost) as the power, He will blast that rebel to kingdom come!!! LOL

Love you guys

Glory and Freedom!!!

The Call to Obediance...my testamony

   “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. – Matthew 6:31-33

My wife and I, recently have been going on trips to Redding, CA, Denver, CO, and finally San Jose, CA. for the last 2 months. we have been on a quest to find a place where we felt would be the best place to learn how to walk in the Spirit, do what Jesus told us to do, and be surrounded by totally like minded believers to help sharpen us.  The major focus however was also to get my son, Josiah, completely healed from SMA. (spinal muscular atrophy)

    We just returned from an unexpected trip to San Jose, where we were just visiting to see if the group (school of obedience) we herd of there would be something to consider being a part of. I was offered a management job at Chipotle Restaurant in Gilbert AZ right before I left with the my family. the trip should have lasted only three days. however i was not prepared for what happened next.




 
     Those guys in San Jose's school of Obedience truly are starting a Revolution! The atmosphere in the house, full of 12 people plus my family, tearing apart the scriptures looking for the way Jesus handled and did things. Going out and sending people to homes casting out devils and healing the sick! Changing mindsets and getting people to give their lives to Jesus every day! who wouldn't be WRECKED after seeing such a thing.

I was taught how Jesus made me a king and a son. how when i speak i have authority and power to change things that be as though they aren't to be as they should. I have life in my tongue.

Needless to say, I ended up extending my trip to a week, and Melissa had to call off work, meaning she would have to pass up on much needed pay. Having no paid time off, I spoke in Faith and as a king, and declared that she will be paid for not working. and they would let her call off without question.

  We ended up going to Redding Ca, on Friday and spending the weekend there healing people from Bethel Church. and I was sent along with two cars full of students from the school of obedience, to "the Call" in Sacramento, Ca.  that was a day never to forget. we walked around praying for sick people all day long. I got 20 people healed, not to mention all the healings that the people that I came with had. legs growing out, scar tissue on face disappearing, broken wrist healed, arthritis healed, lower back and shoulder pains healed..etc it was great. I also got to speak life into all of them and change their mindset on how God loves them. I am BIG on showing you who you are in Christ, and what your abilities are now that you are a Son.

   Josiah was prayed for everyday by the students. There was a night where they all did shifts praying for him until 6am!!! Where do you find Christians that do that today?  The next morning he was able to pull himself over to his side from his back with his own strength. Come On Jesus!!!

    Ryan, Brandon and Dennis showed us good examples on how to trust in God to take care of ALL our financial needs. and be free to live the gospel without any distractions.

  So, we left San Jose with a commitment of forsaking our lives forever to follow Christ and live the life of the Gospel everyday. We committed to returning to San Jose by October 1st.  that would mean that we have to sell everything we own. Get out of our rental agreement 6 months early, Melissa quit her awesome paying job, Josiah giving up his insurance and physical therapy. So worth it, if you can see how much people are getting set free!!!


   Remember how i spoke that Melissa would get paid for not working that weekend? well, she got paid!!!
thank you Jesus. i am a king. just an example of how good my father is.

I just want to encourage you guys. What are you doing that you were never called to do? Know that Jesus loves you, and He is waiting for you to manifest the kingdom through you into this world.
I am now free to live as Christ. nothing holding me back from sharing His life through me.

The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; – Luke 4:18
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” – Mark 16:15-18
