So guys, I've been gone a month! What a great month it has been! We are currently in Dallas and have been here for about a week now. We have visited Cleetus Adrian's church, Deliverance Bible Church and it's been awesome! They rock! their myspace page is on my top 16-check it out. They are totally hardcore christians sold out for sharing the Gospel. They love Holy Spirit and Cleetus brings the Word and the Spirit like solid food! He rocks just because of how humble, genuine, real, and really radical he is! But more than that he's raising up sold out disciples and his church is full of passionate, abandoned lovers of Christ! So its awesome, and Holy Spirit shows up. Today was church and it started at 2..got to sleep in hehe. But we just sang and welcomed Holy Spirit in until he showed up, and then prayed for the sick. And people got healed and touched by God simply by inviting Holy Spirit into the place. It was what church is really about...Getting Holy Spirit to show up so there can be healing, wholeness, forgiveness, repentence, revival! Cleetus also preached an awesome sermon on wholeness and inner healing in which our wounds can cripple our destiny and we need to shake off the attack of the enemy-the words and actions of people that have wounded us. forgive, shake off, and move on. Paul got bit by a viper and believed so much in the Word God gave Him, the destiny God had for him, that He shook that viper right off and no harm came to him. He was so sure that God's word was true over his life that when the enemy attacked, it didnt phase him. the things people said about him and spoke over him didnt phase him. So good!
So on top of all this, we've had some encounters while here. Tuesday before bible study at DBC we went to starbucks cuz the Lord told us to and talked to this guy about Healing, and God's will for healing and how the church should be believing and operating in it. and this guy was frustrated with us because he didnt believe that. He didnt doubt God could heal, but didnt believe we should give people false hope. well, funny cuz we went to the bible study afterwards and it was all about healing. We talked about it, Cleetus gave us scriptures, we talked more and then we did it! we prayed for people and people got healed! so awesome! A church that preaches the Bible, believes the Bible, and then puts the Bible into action right then and there! i love it!
So Friday we go to minister with this church. Only, we didnt have anyones numbers so noone told us they didnt actually go out that night because of weather. Well, there was no bad weather after all, but Diana and i went out to meet them and didnt find them. so we asked the Lord what to do and we ministered on the streets a little bit. We were in deep ellum, the club and bars part of town. So theres this guy on the cell phone with a crutch walkin down the street and we stop and ask him if he has a minute to talk. and he says what about and we say "your leg". so he says yeah? and we say do u believe in healing if we prayed for you? will you hang up the phone and give God a chance to bring the supernatural into the natural and for u to be healed? and he said, sure. so he got off the phone, we asked what was wrong and he said, i got stabbed. we said do u believe in Jesus and he said yes...It's just been a while since I've lived for him. So we prayed and asked him to do something he couldnt before. So he straightened and said woah! I could never do that before! and so we prayed again for total healing. He said he was on pain meds so he didnt know for sure..but yeah, just got to continue to talk to him about where his relationship was with the Lord and he said he knew the Lord was calling Him back.
So then Diana heard Taco. and there was a taco lounge bar across the street. so we went in and just got some words from the Lord. We actually got a few names. She got the name tiffany and asked a few people around what their names were. well, while she got tiffany, i got the name sarah. the first two people she asked were named sarah! and I asked the Lord for more..for something to give to them, but i didnt get anything. So I took that as the Lord just confirming in me that I do hear him and im learning this whole Word of knowledge thing. (kinda like the name i got for that waiter in Colorado). So that was fun. we ended up going to a mcdonalds on the way home cuz the Lord said go, and talked to this homeless man whose name was larry. He was a fresh of breath air. I love the poor! They are so hungry and desperate for Jesus! This guy wanted prayer for forgiveness of his sins :) And we prayed with him, bought him a cheeseburger and talked with him for a few. Loved that humble man!
So then saturday, we bought a microphone/amp for the streets so we can preach with a mic! Diana's been wanting to do mass evangelism. so yay! on the way home, I wasnt feeling that well cuz i was really hungry since we had only eaten once that day and it was texan chipotle, so my taco was too spicy and i couldnt eat it. So i really didnt have anything in my stomach but spicy chicken...so i was tired and wanted to go home. Well, the Lord had diff plans. He told us to stop at Jack in the Box. So at jack in the box, i really didnt even want anything there, but we go in cuz Diana hears Healing! so she sees this man sitting and goes to talk to him and prays with him for some emotional healing dealing with forgiveness and bitterness. And I see this guy at the counter. He was an older man and all of a sudden i felt like the Lord said healing. And my foot started to get a wierd sensation...not pain, but almost numbness or tingling or something. And God said ask him about his foot. So I said hello and he was so nice that he started talkin to me about the wedding he just went to. Well, then i asked him if he had any pain or numbness in his foot. and his eyes got big and said, Ill tell ya...i had a hurnea and ever since my right foot has been numb and the leg has loss of nerves/feeling as well. And I told him the Lord wanted to heal Him and asked him if he believed. and he said little do u know that I'm a minister to all 50 states and Latin America. This man's name was Jim Murk. He wrote a book called Islam Rising, he had a copy with him, signed it and gave it to us. We prayed for his healing, he started to feel tingling in his foot. so i believe God is going to completely recreate nerves if he hasnt already to bring total feeling back in his leg. Diana even saw in the Spirit nerves from heaven being placed in his leg and told him that. And as we talked more, he felt led to give to us financially as well! He really believed in what we were doing :) This man was so awesome! Jesus is so Awesome! Divine appointment, word of knowledge, the fellowship of the body at work! Love Holy Spirit! I want more Lord!!! I want words of knowledge for unbelievers Lord!
My mom comes to dallas tomorrow for business, so i get to see her! and stay with her for a few days! yay! i miss friends and family...the road gets lonely! so it was nice to hang out with AJ, and my cousin, and his friends this weekend.
Pray for more finances and provision, and protection, and more of His Spirit, voice, and presence! and guys, call me! i miss u all!
Oh yeah, and this word of knowledge thing-im learning, and u all have access to it too if u believe...He says ask and receive...so thats what ive been doin! We're his kids, why wouldn't he give to us (matt 7:7-11). Why wouldnt He talk to us so we could hear His voice? (Jer 33:3). The normal Christian life should include hearing God in the details of our lives..Pursue him for it! Believe for it! You are His kid!
