Today we had our last outreach which was kind of sad for me...we did a big cookout for Shasta Lake City community, and there was a guy there named Kyle (high school age) whose arm was half as long as it should be.

He didn't have a hand, and he was born that way. We just had heard James Maloney speak in school today about extraordinary miracles that have happened through him such as midgets growing supernaturally right in front of him to normal size; arms that weren't there growing out; metal dissolving in people's bodies; etc. So I grabbed Andrew and we went up to Kyle to pray for his arm for it to grow out. We laid hands on him...he was very open to God and sensitive and hungry, I could tell. As we prayed, Kyle started feeling tingling in his arm. We kept praying, declaring that the arm had to grow out. It didn't happen, but I believe God. We prophesied over him...Andrew read his mail as usual...and then I asked him if he's ever had a relationship with Jesus. He said he's been to church and he's prayed before, but no he hasn't. I asked him if he wanted to receive Jesus into his heart. He said yes! So we led him to the Lord! Kyle got saved! Hallelujah Jesus!

Not long after that, before we left, another guy rode up to us on a bike, and as soon as he did, I felt tingling on my left thumb. Immediately without hesitation, I asked him if he had pain in his left thumb. He said no, but that he did have pain in his right thumb because he jammed it while riding his bike. His name was Trevor, and I asked him if I could pray for him. He said yes, and I just held his hand and thumb, and released the tangible power that I felt coming through my hands. I did that three times, and by the end, his pain was completely gone! He knew the Lord too, which is awesome.

Another person we got to pray over was a friend of Andrew's from Maine who's in Redding visiting along with his wife. His name is John, and he has Lou Gerig's disease, and it's fairly advanced. He can't speak very well because the disease has restricted his palette and mouth. He also has no ACL in his left knee. Sonya, Andrew, and I prayed over him, and after we prayed a few times, all of John's pain left his knee! Come on Jesus! What is really interesting is that this relates to the dream I had a few nights ago where I dreamed that Bethel had the new building, and to the right of the building was another section of the building with the name "Boston" in capital letters on it. John had a Boston Red Sox hat on today with a big red B on the front. I believe God was prophetically speaking to me ahead of time that I would meet John and pray for him and release healing.

Here's some of the healings that happened in Antioch:

While we were laying hands on people throughout the congregation, I got a word of knowledge about the name Rueben, and I asked if there was anybody present named Rueben...or even family members. Nobody responded, until a few minutes later, a lady walked up to me and told me that when she was 3, a man named Rueben abused her, and she just the day before she was afraid that he had died. It had been a long time since she had seen him. I prayed for her and led her through forgiveness, and then some of the girls (Chris and Jazmyn I think) prayed over her too. I also had another man come up to me and tell me that his brother's name is Rueben, and he didn't know God, and he wanted me to pray for him so he'd come to the Lord. There was even a 3rd person who had a relative named Rueben that came up to me. What a specific word of knowledge!

We had a lady who had burning pain in her legs as a result of Multiple Sclerosis. During the healing phase of the meeting, God removed the pain in her legs! We also had a lady named Marilynn who was praying for another lady who had diabetes. At one point in the meeting, I felt fire touching my left hand in the palm area, so I announced that some people are experiencing fire in their left hand. A few minutes later, Marilynn said when I said that, she felt the fire in her left and and she laid it on the lady's back near her pancreas. The lady said she felt heat inside of her when Marilynn laid her hand on her. Marilynn felt the fire of God going through her arm into the lady's body. I believe diabetes was being healed. We also had a man named Tito whose left arm was in a lot of pain because of tendonitis. He had been wearing a brace on his arm, but he decided before coming to church that night to take it off. He wasn't able to lift stuff before. But God healed him, removed all pain, and Tito was able to lift the church chairs with no problem!! We also had a lady whose doctor told her that the hearing loss in one of her ears was 100%. She was completely deaf in one ear. I can't remember now if it was the right or left. Her ear opened up, and she could now hear normal again! She could hear me whisper to her! We also had a man who had blurry vision who was healed. He could read better afterwards. We had a young girl named "Dora" I think, and she had had scoliosis since very early in life. Josh prayed for her, and her leg grew out about an inch or so. The scoliosis was completely healed.

On our treasure hunts I had bull dog written on my list. When we got to our location, there was a man walking his dog. It was a bulldog. We approached him, his name was Robert, and he was tatooed all over his body. I shared with him how we were on a treasure hunt, and he was on our list (bulldog). I even showed him the list, and I asked him if he needed pray for anything. He said no, but we snuck some prophetic words in there anyway!

Later, we were down by the port area of Antioch near the bay, and I had port written on my list. Marilynn had on her list "rocking horse" and there was a man playing horse shoes. She decided that it was close enough, and so I asked them man if he happened to have pain in his right thigh? (That was on my list). He said he actually had pain in his right knee because of a bike accident where he fell and his knee hit the railroad track. Mark and Marilynn prayed for him and while they were praying, I asked him how it was feeling. He said it was burning like a "son of a gun." By the time we were done praying, he could bend his leg like he couldn't before! His pain was gone.

We had such a fun time on the trip. Everybody felt so free to be themselves, which is so important to me. And so much happened fruit wise. It was a huge success. I had so much fun.

We just got back from Antioch, and it was an absolute blast.

There are so many facets to what God did on the trip, and I got a very new perspective on what it's like to lead a team on a firestorm trip and have the responsibility and the grace to extend the Kingdom and make decisions and empower people all in Holy Spirit's anointing. I went to new levels of leadership where I operated the ENTIRE time out of rest. I don't remember striving at all the whole trip. It was so fun for me speak Friday night at the service. It was effortless, and the word the Lord gave me was right on for the church. I spoke on turning the Desert into an Oasis specifically from Isaiah 35. There was a river of prophetic insight for the church and region that came through me as I spoke, and also through the team. I didn't feel that I had to break anything open, but that it was already opened up in the heavens.

I felt the Lord promoted me to a new level of leadership and anointing during this trip, and I really feel like that more doors and opportunities are going to be opening up soon for me to speak other places. I realized again how much I absolutely love to speak. I was born to preach. I could do this regularly...speak and preach around different cities and states releasing revival.

The anointing to preach came on me, and I felt the authority in the Spirit to declare with boldness what God had given me. Holy Spirit moved on people as I spoke, and I even stopped a couple times to wait as God ministered to people. The Lord restored dreams that had been put on the back burner years ago...specifically 40 years ago for one person. A lot of the word that I released had to do with revival spreading to all of the Bay Area from that church...and I tied it in to the message of sonship. At one point I felt a song welling up in my spirit to sing over the congregation. It was Jason Upton's song "In Your Presence, All Fear is Gone."

We had numerous healings, both physical and inner. We also had something powerful happen with the women being released to release other women to be powerful in the Spirit. It felt really good to empower the women on the team to release and minister what God has given them.

Today's outreach was wonderful. I love Jesus so much. I have an amazing team of 1st year students who are walking in so much Holy Spirit stuff.

Particularly in this current rotation of students that we have (Andrew, Mirlandra, Gizelle, Ben, etc). Today was great. We fanned out over the neighborhood, and I was with Gizelle and Mirlandra. One of the houses they decided to stop and visit was a lady who Andrew and I had tried to minister to a few weeks back, but she seemed closed off towards men. So instead of us guys going to her door this time, we let the girls go by themselves. I waited out by the street. They had lots of favor with the lady and made an immediate connection. I hung out just enjoying the beautiful sunshine. I was filled with such peace and rest in my spirit and soul. It was wonderful, soaking in the sweet presence of Jesus in His creation. Then I big hawk-looking bird caught my attention. It may have even been an eagle...I'm not sure. It was soaring around doing nothing but stretching out its wings. I could feel the rest of heaven fill my spirit as I watched it soar and fly. It made me want to fly just like that bird. It went around and around, riding on the wind, not even flapping its wings. Ohhh.

The girls finished up with the lady, we joined back up with the guys, and kept walking. Andrew, Kekoa, and I went by Chris's house and talked to him for a little bit, and we started walking back to the car. Andrew started talking to me about how I'm prophetically gifted. He's told me this before, but this time it really clicked. He said that not everybody sees things like I do...and that I'm just like his wife in that we assume everybody else sees things about people and that it's obvious, but it's not obvious to everybody. Andrew said that it's a gift and I need to speak those words out prophetically. He validated my gifting so much. I realize now more that when I look at somebody or talk to them and feel what they're feeling inside or know what is going on with them, it's not something that everybody is able to pick up on, and I have a gift.

Right after Andrew and I had that conversation, we were walking by a house, and there was a Dodge Intrepid in the driveway. I said to he and Kekoa, "There's something about that Dodge Intrepid. Hmmm. Maybe it's because I drive one." Andrew said, "No, there really is something about it. I've learned that when you say that, there really IS something about it." So feeling confident on the inside, I said, "Let's go knock on the door." So we did. A young girl (19 year old) named Kayla came to the door, and her boyfriend Derrick. Andrew told them how we're out and about to bless people in Shasta Lake City, and we'd like to bless them too. She was more outgoing than Derrick. He had just gotten in a fight with the guy next door, and his left eye was black. You could tell that he was suspicious as to why we were at his door.

After talking awhile, I asked them if they had one or more of the following conditions: "Right wrist pain, Right ankle pain, left heel pain, or anybody named Terry in the house." (I had those words of knowledge written on my hand from earlier in the day that God gave me). Kayla said, "I have tendonitis in my right foot." Close enough for me. Derrick all of a sudden said something, "How do you get all these questions to ask us?" So I explained how God speaks to us about people...Andrew helped me explain.

They finally came outside where we were standing on the porch. I said to Derrick, "OK you're going to heal her foot pain. Put your hand on her foot and ask God to come, and He will." He didn't seem to gung ho about it. But right then, he said, "Do you think you could try that on my eye?" I felt faith coming from him, and as soon as he said that, I felt electricity fill my left thumb and index finger. The presence manifested when he exhibited faith. I immediately took my hand and pointed my thumb and index finger at his black eye and told him to tell me when he started feeling tingling, heat or anything change. He didn't feel anything. So I said, "Put out your hands." He did, and I took my hands and put one over his hand and one under it.

I told him he's going to start feeling something. A few seconds later, he yanked his hand back out, freaked out. He's like, "What were you doing?!?! It felt warm!" I was so happy on the inside because he felt God's presence in an undeniable way.

Then I felt Holy Spirit touch my foot, and I asked Kayla how her pain was doing. It went down. I stood next to her and put my foot near her foot, and consciously released presence to her. Didn't pray, just leaked. Asked her again. It was even better! The pain moved around, and Andrew nailed it by saying it was a spirit of infirmity. I bent down, and told her I'm going to draw that spirit of infirmity out like a magnet. I pulled it out, and she felt even better. By the end, she was completely pain free!

She looked at Derrick's eye and said, "You're eye's getting better!" None of us could tell a difference, but hey...if she could then come on Jesus. She went and got a mirror for Derrick to look into. When he looked at himself in it, he had a look on his face that obviously told us that it was getting better!

I noticed on his shirt that there was an eagle on it. I started prophesying to him that he's got a gift to be able to see things that not everybody can see. Sounds familiar. I described to him how an eagle can see a mouse 2 miles away, and he has vision like that. Skeptically, he said, "All because I have an eagle on my shirt." I said well God spoke to me through it and that's how I know. I asked Derrick if he sees things. I knew he knew what I meant. He said, "Yeah but everybody sees that stuff." But I knew that his brain was telling him that, but in reality he does actually see in the Spirit, and physical manifestations of the Spirit realm.

I looked at Andrew, because we had JUST talked about that before knocking on their door...I MYSELF had JUST told him the same thing...that I assumed that everybody sees these kinds of things prophetically. But they don't. Thank You for this gift Holy Spirit. I love You.

It was so awesome ministering to Kayla and Derrick because God showed up. He's in us. That blows me away. Kayla wants to come to Bethel...
