Testimonies
I haven't been in the mood to blog lately. Sad, I know. I'm still not really feeling it, but I said I would be posting more testimonies, so I need to do it. Here's a good one from the South Africa trip.
Two guys from Bethel went into this hospital to pray for a man who had lung cancer. He was at the hospital receiving chemo. The two guys could sense the despair and hopelessness in the room. The man who was receiving chemo also had his two brothers there. The two men from our team weren't really sure where to start because all three people in the room were so depressed. They decided it would be a good idea to start worshipping God. The two brothers thought it was weird and left. The man receiving chemo continued to lay in his bed as our two guys worshipped and prayed for him. Soon, he began to feel heat in his chest. They prayed a little longer and the man's countenance had definitely become brighter. The next day, one of our team member's got a call on his cell phone stating that morning the man was sitting on the edge of his bed laughing. When the doctors took an x-ray of his chest they couldn't find any cancer. It was all gone!
I like this one from Ecuador.
A team of ours was ministering in a church somewhere in Ecuador. On the way to the church all of them had gotten quite drunk with the Holy Spirit and had been laughing pretty hard. When they got to the church they went upstairs to continue interceding for that night's service. When the pastor saw what they were doing he told them it was unacceptable to do that in their church. Our team was excited to hear that. They sat in the first row of the church with the interpreters and pretty soon one of the interpreters was laughing pretty hard. Another interpreter said, "You don't understand, my joy is deep inside." As soon as he said it he doubled over in laughter. By the end of the night, our team had most of the congregation laughing and dancing around. One of the fruits of the Spirit is joy. :)

A little taste...
It is true that I'm back in the great land of the USofA. To hold you over until I muster up the energy for a proper post, below is a picture of how our team had to shower. 1 bucket every other day. Yes, it was an adventure. :D

Crazy Rainbow
Today was a nice day. I don't go back to work until tomorrow, so I slept in. Then I ate a little breakfast, played my keyboard, and went for a walk. After I got cleaned up I decided to go to the prayer house. It was good. To continue this play by play entry, I'll tell you that after the prayer house I went to Walgreens. It was on my way there that I noticed the awesomeness below. This rainbow went all the way around the sun. I've heard that they do this, but I've never seen it. Then there was another one coming off the circle too. It was crazy gorgeous and I was the only weirdo trying to capture it with my cell phone camera. They don't work all that great, but I'm glad I had something to capture the moment. After I took a bazillion pictures I continued about my day. Hope you enjoy.

Easter Reflections
I love Easter weekend. For the past couple of years Easter is such a monumental weekend of my year. It's not because of the Easter basket filled with candy or getting to hang out with family, but it's honestly all about Jesus. Every year I get rocked to my core when I think about what went on over these three days. Good Friday is always crazy for me. I can't even imagine what Jesus went through for all of us. He was beaten so badly, carried a heavy cross knowing He would die, and then hung on it for hours realizing that His sacrifice would give all of humanity the chance to live under the grace of God. He died so that we might have the greatest access to God than any other person in history. Prophets of the old covenant longed for the day we live in today. I can't even put into words my emotions for I feel as if I could explode into tears or laugh hysterically about how good He is.
Tuesday at school was one of the best moments of my life and it's been a whirlwind of goodness since then. Pastor Bill could feel a heavy anointing when he got up to talk to us, so he decided to lay hands on every student in the room. It was the fastest 2.5 hours of my life and the greatest. Better than any miracle I've seen or any award I've won. Again, I'm at a loss for words to describe to you the emotions I felt that day. Someday, if you would like to hear it in person I will try to form words that would do it justice.
I can't even listen to worship music right now because I just weep at who He is. It's amazing and better than anything in this world. Anything.

God is on the move
I've been seeing such as increase of God lately. Bill Johnson was also just talking about the increase the other day in class. More and more people are experiencing healings and miracles. What's amazing to me is the increase of testimonies of people healed over the phone or from prayers across state lines. Also, what God is doing in children is completely astounding. So, here are a few testimonies to get you jazzed up.
1. A student in the school of ministry recently found out that her mom was having seizures and that they found a nodule on her lung. After the daughter received this news she announced it in school and all 500 of us stood to pray on this woman's behalf. A week later, the doctors did an x-ray and could not find the nodule and an MRI of her brain came back completely normal!
2. In children's ministry here at Bethel on Sunday mornings, the kids have chapel time for an hour where there is hang out time with pastors, worship, and a lesson. Then there's an hour of Sunday school (with awesome Sunday school teachers like me :D). 5th grade students who go to Sunday night school of ministry get to be "interns" during Sunday service and help the adults out. This one Sunday during the hang out time, an intern noticed a child complaining that her knee hurt. He went over to her and asked her if he could pray and she said sure. The intern prays for a brief moment and then says, "On a scale of 1 to 2, 1 being completely healed and 2 not being healed yet, how is your knee?" (LOL, this is awesome! It's either healed or it's not. :D) Of course the child's knee was completely better. I love how no one had to encourage him to pray though. It's become a lifestyle for him and he just looks for the opportunities.
3. On Thursdays Bethel sends 700 students out to blitz the city with outreach. One of the outreaches is an elementary school program where Bethel students go into elementary schools and teach the kids about Kingdom stuff. This past week one of the students was teaching kids about healing and how to raise the dead. Deborah Reed, the children's pastor here at Bethel, has great curriculum on this stuff. After the student had finished teaching the kids how to raise the dead, it was time to play outside. Get this...the kids decided to play war outside on the playground and when someone would get killed they would raise him from the dead! Look out public schools, the Kingdom is invading! Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
