You Have Won Me

I just got back from a three week mission trip in Australia. Some would say that it was a once in a lifetime trip...Although I refuse to live and think that small. The whole trip, from start to finish, was a testimony to the goodness and faithfulness of my God!

So if you tried to convince me that God isn't real, you would definitely have your work cut out for you. I have seen too much. You can try... but I can guarantee that it won't work. 

Because over the past three weeks in Australia, my heart was stolen by God every time another person was healed or glory dust and angels appeared or when He would do something so sweet for me. *sigh* Ha-Ha!  The Father God loves to show off for His kids 'cause He can....and I love it! Day after day I fell more in love with my Creator. It's such a wonderful feeling knowing that the One who created the universe wants to use me to heal, prophesy and sing over people for Him. What a honor and a privilege! It just makes me giggy thinking about it. God wants to work through me, even when I'm not "feeling" it  or when I'm intimidated! He doesn’t care, He just longs for a heart that will say "yes" and then put the "yes" into action.  What is on the other side of your hearts "yes"?

My life has changed again, like I said I have seen too much of the goodness of God to stay the same. I saw a woman who hadn't had clear vision for her  whole life (75 years) totally healed. I felt one mans patella (knee cap) move and shift  underneath my hand, years of pain gone! I've seen a gay gentlemen give his heart to Jesus (because he felt true love) in a mall.  One woman's leg grew out to match the other! A man who hadn't been able to smell for 50 years was restored! A young teen gave his heart to Jesus after he had been totally healed from asthma! A young girl ran up to the stage with her crutches, she was made whole in her legs. A man with 40 years of back pain healed! Then God shows up in a living room and causes  my friends and I encounter Him in a whole new way just because He can. Oh He is so wonderful and good! He has truly won me.

I have so many stories of what God has done and one day I might get to tell them all. But I just wanted to tell you just a bit, and to thank you for praying for me and giving toward this life changing trip. And for you to know that whatever you are walking through it's not too big for my God. Even the smallest thing matters to Him. Daddy God is so personal and He cares about your heart.

Do you need healing in your body? Do you need someone to agree with you in prayer? Please comment below and I will pray with you! Whether be a headache or cancer nothing it "too small" or "too big".  May my God bless you!

A big shout out to all the "Heaps Gorgeous" people of Australia! Love you and can’t wait to come back!  

Australian Travels

Hello from Australia!

It is so beautiful where we are staying. Within walking distance from a beautiful beach. The first day was mostly getting settled and trying to sleep. That night we went and ministered at a youth and young adults meeting.

They started off with a game and it was a form of karaoke, but you were the only one who could hear the music. I was picked to sing and have everyone eles guess what song I was hearing. I tried to tell them that I only listen to worship music...but they insisted I would know them. Um yeah...Janae and Justin I failed you! Haha Elizabeth thought it was cute. Haha

Then there was worship. I went to the back of the room to dance because I felt God on it. So I'm dancing and I see a teen girl standing by herself with her hands on her neck. I thought she had neck pain. And well the devil owes me big time on hurt necks.

I walk over and come to find out she was dealing with fear and anxiety because of all the people. Well the devil owes me for fear too. I prayed that the peace of God would be manafest in her life. Then I asked her to dance with me and she said yes! We danced a whole song. At one point I just stopped and watched her...freedom was hers! By the end of the song her countenance was totally changed. I then spoke to her about to strategies to beet the devil like take a knee.

Then Elizabeth and gave words of knowledge. I felt bad pain at the base of my skull. I called it out and there was a girl who had the same pain. We prayed over her and then Elizabeth had me sing over the girl. The song was from daddy God and how beautiful He thought she was. She was totally healed! Woot!

We did more of that then Elizabeth taught a great word on puriy and then had a alter call and 11 kids where saved! So awesome!

The rest of the night was one on one ministry that was fun. We saw so many healings.

It was late when we got home and we were tried but to happy. I was stretched and it was a little uncomfortable but I welcome it. Elizabeth really encouraged me.

I slept great and woke up to the sound of weeks animals! How cool right? Animals wake up at 6 am....I went back to sleep! Haha for breakfast I had some fresh juice and awesome different oat meal. Then we (Elizabeth and the pastors) went to Caves Beach! I'm not really a beach person but this place was beautiful! I took a ton of pictures and yes Mom I wore sunscreen! I applied it a few times and got a small tan...it doesn't look like it because I'm so white but I'm tan...er. Haha then we tested a little then went fuo a run. Hopefully I'll be able to run the whole time by the time I leave!

Later tonight (Sat 8th) we are having a bbq! Can't wait to tell you about it!

Talk to you soon!

The Parable of The Blue Door

There I stood, after months of searching; I was facing the Blue Door. It was beautiful in an enchanting kind of way. Where would it take me? What opportunities and adventures were beyond? How would it change my life?

 I looked back behind me to see if they had caught up yet. I could hear them nearing. No! They cannot have me. I will be free! What was I waiting for? I couldn’t move. It was like something was holding me still, forbidding me to take a step in to the new world I had dreamed about.

                           

I looked around me; there stood statues of men, woman, and children.  All of them had the same look on their faces, the same look that was on my face right now. They too were reaching for the door. 

Everything in my life up to this point has been meaningless. I remember hearing stories about the Blue Door and how on the other side there was something so wonderful, it must be a dream. I was told that not many make it past the door.

The master’s beasts were getting closer.

My heart was racing. I didn't want to end up like them. I was able to take a step forward and another. I was going to make it! I was going to walk through that Blue Door. As I drew closer the door began to open a bit. I felt like the door was inviting me in, encouraging me to step through into my new destiny.

They were so close now, too close. The hair on my neck rose. I was able to take another step.   The beasts were just a few yards away. They dismounted their dark horses.  Some laughed and others glared at me. I had come so far. I looked up at the Blue Door.

“Ha! You thought you could run away? What a joke! You will always be our captive!” The beasts laughed again.

The stone statues began to wail and cry out things I couldn’t understand. The beasts laughed even harder. Fear started to fill my heart.

The beasts moved closer while cursing and laughing at me. I couldn’t move.

I looked back at the door. If I was going to die, I was going to die looking at something beautiful. My life had never been beautiful. Darkness and fear was all I knew.

I screamed for help and a light burst from the door.  A small, red bird came and perched itself above the door. I felt hope and strength in my heart. At first the beasts took a step back. They were afraid. I was able to take another step. But my victory didn’t last long. One of the beast grabbed hold of arm, its claws sunk in.

I fought with all I had. I was going to live and be free. The beast seemed to be losing its strength as I came within inches of the door. I reached out and grabbed the door. The beasts and statues shrieked.

I was standing in the door way.

Looking back I saw the beast shrinking back. I screamed that I was never going to be their slave again. I walked through and shut it behind me.

I could feel a wonderful heat on my back. I turned and soaked in the wonderful sight. It was full of color and life. I saw a light shining through the trees and somehow knew it was meant for me. I walked toward the light. My life was about to change forever.

Freedom in Christ is a choice. DO you want to be free? Walk through the door and into Jesus’ marvelous light. It’s not too late. Take that step. It will make the enemy furious. They will try and stop you. The great part is that Jesus has already won. His blood paid for everything. So freedom in any area in your life can be yours. It’s as easy as walking through a door. Just ask Jesus for help. And you will be able to walk in a whole new world. Are you ready? You have the opportunity to change your life forever.

Take that step…Walk through the door into marvelous light

Crazy Adventure

I used to think I couldn't have a favorite song. I would say "I could no sooner choose my favorite star in the heavens!". Haha a little dramatic right? Well right now I have a favorite song! It's called "Chasing You" , it's on the album "Tides" from Bethel Music. If you have never heard of their music, stop everything and go take a listen!

The reason I love this song so much is because of it's wonderful message of love, adventure that's in God. It's total love song and well I love it. The last part of the song says:

"This life- this love- was always meant to be- a crazy adventure discovering- the thrill- the rush- the more of you I see- the more it leaves me wanting Your everything...I'm chasing you."

I burst in to this part of the song after I prayed for my sick neighbor, I laughed and felt the joy of the the Lord wash over me. And the thought came " If I'm not having fun, a adventure, with God, this Christian thing would really drag!". Life with Christ is meant to be awesome! When was the last time you felt a rush or thrill doing something with God? If you can't think of one, it's time for a change. Doing things with God is like a drug... it makes you feel high! haha God is so much fun. If you feel like life isn't fun ask God to show you His fun side. I think you will find God has a great sense of humor! 

My prayer for you is that you would have such a fun life with God. That you would just be so crazy in love with God everyone knows. Have fun with God, dream with Him! Haha laugh with Him (Ps 2:4)! 

Check out this song Chasing You .Use it as a picture of what your walk with God can be. Let the passion motivate your heart to chase after God like never before. He is chasing you. He loves you so much!

Let Your Voice Be Heard, Comment!

How do you have fun with God? How does it make you feel? What is your favorite song right now? How is it affecting your life? 

The Time Has Come

Are you happy with how things are around you in your home, relationships, culture and nation? Are you left with the feeling of "I guess I need to pray more…"? Praying is awesome but prayer without actions won’t go anywhere fast.

So…It’s time…

It's time that we took ground, instead of sitting back and just "praying" we need to get up and act. As "Christians" we proclaim to be like Christ. But when did Jesus ever *sigh*, say "oh lets pray for them" and then not act on what He just prayed? I think we expect God to do everything! I mean He can, HE is GOD! But He chooses to work through His people. 

I'm talking about day after day of seeing the world drowned and we are the life raft and we aren’t doing anything to help. We stand on the deck praying asking God to do something!

We have God given power and authority, why aren't we using it? 

I'm only one person you may say. Great! Take a look at history and see all the people who changed the world. There is story after story of just one person deciding to get up and act and it changed everything.

Now getting up and putting your prayers into action will draw people that just want to shut you up. They don't care if you pray, but once you pray then act they get scared and threatened. Don't stand down! If you feel Gods hand on it and you believe it with all your heart then go for it with all that is in you. 

The world needs us to be world changers and history makers...Good ones! For instance…We don't need more homosexuals stepping up and acting on what they believe. God bless them, I love them, but they have chosen to stand for something my God hates. They are a small group, but you wouldn't know it because how big their voice has gotten. They just choose to act. 

Plain and simple, praying more isn't going to bring our nations back on track. It’s going to take some crazy people who actually believe what God says and then do it!

Will it be you? Why not you? Ask God how you can be a voice, a light, a world changer, a history maker. He will let you know! Don't be afraid. God is inside of you. Wanting to move in the earth through you.
