Tecate Mexico

I'm looking out over the grass lands of Mexico and into the beautiful mountains. It seems a little bit chilly, but I can endure it to enjoy the beauty. We are living at a orphanage for children. It is a ranch and has many different ministries running here. There is a school, healing rooms, home for elderly, and these are just a few. It's a story of faith when you hear how they started this growing empire. The family that started this had a word from the lord to come to Mexico and to start an orphanage. And when they had no money and no food, God showed up and supplied. They at one time had to buy their water because their wells would run out, but they prayed and when the wells got full, they gave it away. The wells have never run out since. As I hear these stories, my heart burns with passion. Faith raises up in me that says "I can change the world too!". We need to dream again. It's time to have the courage to dream big. To dream with the view of nothing is impossible. Thousands of lives can be changed by one mans courage to live out his dream. 

Second trip to Mexico

 Here's my second trip down to Mexico in the past two weeks. I'm on a team of 17 people and we are going to work in a conference with our leader Eric Johnson, who will be speaking. I must say, I'm very excited to serve under Eric Johnson. He is a great man and I will learn so much from him. I have no idea of what to expect, other then we will see many miracles! I've come to realize that whenever we take risk, Jesus always loves to show up. He honors risk taking, or In other words He honors faith. It's going to be another powerful trip! Can't wait to arrive. We are just leaving the Sac airport right now. Revival...

"Done and Paid For"

I've just had two of the best days of my life. I've see how easy it is to release what God has already paid for. In the past 2 days I've seen around 50 people come to know Jesus on the streets! I realized how easy it is when You let Jesus just show up and make himself real to the person. This is way more effective then trying to convince people that Jesus is real. If you can talk someone into the fact that Jesus is real, someone can talk them out of it. But when someone has an encounter with Jesus you can never talk them out of it. I've seen hundreds of people healed within the past 4 days and many gave their lives to Jesus after theses encounters. This is the kingdom of God. This is revival lifestyle, the ministry of Jesus.

  We went to a busy street yesterday to release the kingdom and almost every person we prayed for wanted to know Jesus, and we seen so many Miracles It would take so long to write them all. But my favorite one is when we seen this elderly women and I felt like she had pain in her back. It turns out she had it all over her body. So we prayed and she got totally healed. All the pain went! Their were some men working on a beer truck that watched the whole thing. I shouted to them "did you see what just happened! This women got 100% healed." then I pointed to the man in the truck and said "do you have pain in you back!". He nodded his head yes. So I told him " Jesus heals you now, get out of your truck and test it out now. " when he did his response was "what is going on is this a joke? All my pain is gone!" right their he gave his heart to Jesus and experienced the presence of Lord! He is forever changed.

  Shortly after we went down to a school where a number of kids were. The school just got out so all the mothers and fathers were their to pick them up. Their must of been 200 people outside around us. One of the pastors that was with us started to worship on his guitar and two women on our team began to dance. Everyone was looking at us and the crowd started to form. When the worship was done I started to give words of knowledge of pain that God wanted to heal in the crowd. In moments people were getting healed and a miracle riot began to break! Wrists were getting healed, back pain, people with canes, pain in necks. Everyone was getting healed instantly! And when one got healed I would get them to pray for someone else to get healed. It was one of the most powerful experiences I've ever had. Then I asked if they want to know Jesus as their best friend. After encountering the presence of God and after getting healed, around 30 people wanted to give their life to Jesus! This truly is the kingdom. I didn't even preach to them, I just said what Jesus was healing, watched them get healed and told them that "this is Jesus Christ, do you want to know Him." Do you see how easy that is? Christ already died for the sin of the world, but He paid for so much more! He paid to set us free from sickness and disease also! We are here to get what Jesus paid for! It would be a mockery of the cross if we only got people saved and left it at that. When we deny this part of the cross, we deny a part of Jesus. We deny the power of His blood and what He paid for!

  Yesterday I was apart of one of the best services I've ever help lead. It was a women's meeting and Angie Wenstrom was our leader.(we had the best leader by the way) One of the women on our 5 person team released a corporate prophetic word for the church through her dance. Someone was on the stage playing piano while she danced. Then all of a sudden He came, God came. His presence was so thick and Holy, people began to cry all over the room. It was so Holy you didn't want to touch what was happening. So we waited, and began singing in tongues. After a long time of this, Angie said "If you need healing in your body, just stand up and receive it. And if you notice a difference in your body wave your hands." what happened next was incredible. Almost everyone that stood up to receive their healing got healed! One lady had a lot of swelling in her leg and when she stood up, the swelling went totally away! It was amazing. Their were  at least 25 people that got healed with out anyone praying for them! Now thats the kingdom!

"Whats a day off in the Kingdom"

  Today the team and I had a great time touring Mexico city and seeing all the statues of angels and old saints of God. It was our only day of the whole trip where we can really just see the sites. You could call it a day off. But even on a day off, you never stop hanging out with your best friend Jesus. And we always end up doing what He wants to do.  Which is heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils! Haha, I love doing what He loves to do!

  As we moved deeper into the heart of the city the more eager I got to minister the gospel of Jesus. I came across a man siting on the street, which you could tell he was homeless. I stopped to pray for him because my heart went out for him. As we started to pray I began to notice many people around us almost getting angry that we were reaching out in compassion to this broken homeless man. You could feel the looks and stares of people as the walked by. My heart went out to him all the more. He was also blind, and we were praying for him to receive his sight. I asked after many times of praying if he could see, each time their were no change. Sometimes this is the hardest thing to work through. When we pray and it seems nothing happens. Some give up in this moment, but let it be your fuel to get fully what Jesus paid for. If I would of gave up after one person didn't get healed when i prayed for them, then all the hundreds of people that i have seen get healed through my hands would still be sick or dead. it's all worth the risk!

  After this we went into a giant Catholic Church. I'm mean this thing was the real deal. It had ceilings that went forever with gold from top to bottom and old saint statues everywhere. It was a perfect place for a miracle service! Someone on our team prayed for a deaf women in the church and God opened up her ears! Jesus loves the Catholics!

  I decided I wanted to leave the church and go release the goodness of God to the people outside of the church. I mean this is where we are called to anyways. Somehow in our own self-comfort of Christian life, we have redefined reaching and LOVING the lost, to staying comfortable in church and expecting they will just all come through the doors wanting the dead religion that you carry. They want someone to love them, and they want something real. They want power! So let's get off our butts and go show them the true gospel of Christ.

  While we were outside I came across an elderly women that had a cane. My translator was talking to someone else and I didn't want to miss a chance for God to show up and heal her. So I stepped out, took a risk and through hand motions asked her if I could pray. I laid my hands on her knees and prayed a short prayer, and the motioned to test it out. As a smile came across her face I knew something was happening. So I prayed again, but when I motioned for her to test it out, the biggest smile exploded on her face as she began to walk with out her cane! She was totally healed! The funny thing was, she just keep walking with her in the air and a huge smile on her face! It was amazing!

  Not long after I seen some young students that I wanted to pray for. We went over to them and started to talk. I quickly asked if they have ever seen a Miracle or have felt the presence of God before. All four said no. I then told them to hold out their hands like they were receiving a gift, as they did I asked the Holy Spirit to come. And He did like He always does. Their response was "I feel a weight in my hands". I responded "it's the prison e of God".  You could tell by their faces they have never experienced this before. My next question was "do you want to met this man that you are experiencing?" three of the young mens answers were yes! So I lead them to the lord! If I would of given up praying for people and taking risk because of discouragement, then they may of never come to know the Lord. Take big risk, it will always pay off.

  My favorite one of the day was when I introduced myself to a couple youth people that were sitting down hanging out. A asked them if they had any pain. One of the youth girls said yes, I have a head ache. So I asked her friend who was sitting next to her to lay hands on her head. Then told him to repeat after me "in the name of Jesus be healed, all pain go".  When I asked her how her head felt now, with a big smile and a laugh, she said "all the pain is gone!" it was amazing! Someone that may not even know Christ personally, laid his hands on her and she got healed! They were all so astonished as to what happened they wanted me to pray for them more. They all held their hands out and asked Holy Spirit to come, after they said that they could feel something like waves hitting them! It was Jesus touching them! It really is easier then we think!

Mexician culture

I must say one of my favorite parts of being here is Mexico is being in a culture were no one understands me. It's so much fun being forced to learn a language that I don't know. I have had this young boy attach himself to me all day, but the cool thing is, he speaks no English. This to me causes me great joy, because I'm in an environment that is totally different then what I'm use too. I also love culture so maybe this has a great deal to do With it. I'm beginning to learn short phrases like, "what your name", "my name is..", "you are very drunk on the Holy Spirit". People love the last one! Tomorrow we are going into the city to bring revival on the streets and to play in this wonderful culture of Mexico.

Risk taking

Today has been has been our first full day in Mexico, and what a day it has been. We had three extensive miracle working services today, with many salvations. It was a good day to get what Jesus paid for! I had the privilege of working with the teenagers and young children today also. Although I was felt alittle stretched when I was asked to help out all of a sudden. But hey, we must be ready in and out of season right? If I wasn't pulled out and hung over the edge once and awhile, then how could I ever expect to grow? We must be a people ready to be pushed out of what seems comfortable for us so we may grow into maturity. This also activates our faith muscle, or our risk taking muscle. A question we should all ask ourselves is, how much am I'm stepping out in taking risks? Do I allow myself to be stretched? If you can't remember the last time you stepped out in faith(risk), then the next sick person you see you should pray for them to be healed, and see what happens.

Off to REVIVAL in Mexico

  When I wake up this next morning, it's the beginning of a powerful trip to Mexico City, Mexico. It's the start of missions month, and this is when revivalists from Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry are sent out into all parts of the world to bring the ministry of Jesus to people in signs, wonders, and miracles. Many will get healed and many will get saved, and the gospel will be heard across the globe. This is the ministry of Jesus.

  

 I will have a great opportunity to release the gospel in power, the same way Apostle Paul, and our greatest hero, Jesus Christ did while I'm in Mexico. I believe this is what the Church is beginning to grab a hold of. Moving in the Gospel of Jesus. He moved in great power when He was on the earth in His ministry. Jesus said to His disciples "you will do greater things then I have done." Thats a pretty amazing statement! But why don't we see most of the Church moving in this type of power? I believe this is changing! And i can prove this. How would you ask. Its by taking normal people, like me, to Mexico and watching them step out in faith and do the work of Jesus through miracles. But the great thing is we don't have to go to Mexico to see revival. 

   Just the other day my beautiful girlfriend and I got to pray for a young women on the street walking home from school, who had pain in her head. After she got healed she wanted to met this Man Jesus that just healed her! Thats the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ! I've been realizing how easy it is to partner with what Jesus has already done. Its really easy to lead someone to Jesus when he shows up and reveals Himself through healing. I call this easy Evangelism! People want to know Jesus, they really do, but they don't know it yet. We owe people an encounter with Jesus. Healing is one way of bringing these encounters. Plus if you have the answer to a problem, then why not bring the solution? We have the answer to sickness, and His name is King Jesus!

 

 I just want to say thank you for all that have supported me in these past two years of ministry school. Its because of you that I am able to bring the gospel to the people that need to hear it. Thank you. I will be gone to Mexico city, Mexico from the 12th of march till the 20th. Then i will be gone on the 24th till the 29th to Tecate, Mexico with Eric Johnson for a weekend conference. Please keep me in your prayers as I go to bring revival to Mexico. Thank you again for everyone who has supported me in prayers and finance.

  See you in a week...
