Powerful God

Two weeks in...

I can't believe that we have already been in classes for two weeks with the DTS. Everything is going so well. God has been showing up in such a powerful way. To put a picture of how abnormal this DTS is, I want to share with you what I was able to see this week...

I don't really know how to elaborate what has been happening. I am so enthralled with the things that are taking place. I am learning a lot about leadership and what that looks like especially when I am "leading" a group of people who are mostly older than I am. Like I said in my last post, Jesus is the only person who qualifies me as a leader. What a great reality to lean back on for anyone! If he wasn't my qualification, things would look a lot different...

The past two weeks have been unreal. As the students settle in and soak up the lessons that Philip York brought about hearing the voice of God, and Matt Rawlins with the Fear of the Lord, there is something brewing. Something more tangible than I have ever seen.

As a school, we were witnesses of the raw power of God...

On Monday, the school gathered for a "Mystery Fun Night". As the planned evening was supposed to be surprise to the students, it turned out to be a surprise to everyone...

We watched a documentary called The Finger of God, and were planning on announcing the outreach location choices following the movie. If you haven't seen this movie, I encourage you to check it out. It is a documentary of crazy things happening in the body of Christ around the world. A man, who was skeptical about some of the goings ons of the church, was surprised to find that these strange things were real. He saw stuff like Gold Dust appearing on people's bodies, jewels coming from heaven, spontaneous healing miracles and more. Needless to say, some of us thought that this video was a little weird. Does that stuff actually happen? I mean, really... Gold Dust??

When the movie finished, Andrew asked if there were any responses to the movie. One guy spoke up, and before I knew what happened, the whole room swarmed around him. Chris, one of our students, had gold dust all over his arms...

WHAT?!

What ensued after was more raw power...
After we all freaked out a little, and not quite sure where to go next, Andrew asked if anyone needed to be healed of anything. That night, 6 or 7 people received healing from various conditions: scoliosis healed, back problems corrected, legs that were disproportionate were healed, and more...

What an amazing God. Why did He just choose to show up like that? I don't know! He is crazy faithful... and CRAZY!

So, we didn't end up announcing outreach locations that night. I wasn't too upset though, the Holy Spirit had other plans, obviously.

God is doing much here. I am looking forward to more. I still need some support, and if you feel led to partner with me, check out my support page for more information. This week I should have my pay pal account information posted as well.

God Bless! Next time I will share about my outreach plans for Central and South America and how our team is preparing.

Enjoy the Lord this week!
