New Journey

For those who don't already know, I am in Redding, CA at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.  The Lord has introduced me to more of His character and power over the last 5 months.  I have seen miracles, had encounters, and have seen His manifested presence through the spiritual gifts that are mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12.  Miracles only seem difficult when we think they have something to do with us.  This is the culture at Bethel Church and the School, however, it's not the only value expressed within their culture.  There are many other key core values within Bethel's culture.  Awesome things happen when the Holy Spirit is free and not contained within a box.  The great thing about personal experience and personal testimony is that no matter what, people can't take what you have seen, heard, or experienced from you. Lastly, Jesus is not a respecter of persons.  He will do for you what He does for another!  Lastly, I continue to live by Matthew 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." I am not seeking the supernatural realm nor and I seeking the spiritual gifts.  I am seeking Christ and Him crucified and His Kingdom, and these things are being added.  

Next, I am living with 10 guys in a house this year.  There is 2 second year students in this house and the rest of us are first year students.  Our house is very diverse but it creates such an amazing environment and culture.  We have all connected very well and it's going to be an unbelievable year.  We live more on the outskirts of Redding in the country, which provides awesome scenery of God's nature.  The Lord has placed each one of us in this house for a reason.  I know this because we all get along, and most importantly, we all have peace.  

Lastly, on September 14th, I had yet another first day back to school.  However, this time it was the best first day ever!  We started off with about an hour of worship, heard Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton speak, and got randomly prophesied over twice.  It definitely wasn't anywhere near a regular first day of class that I have had before.  However, it was such an amazing time of truth and revelation.  The Lord is so much bigger than we think!  I cannot wait to see what all the Lord does this year through the lives of the students, pastors, teachers, etc.  May this year be dedicated fully to knowing Him more and becoming more and more intimate with Him each and everyday.  

I want to personally thank each and everyone of you for praying for me, supporting me, and encouraging me through this process and throughout my life.  You are all amazing and I thank God for our relationship.  God Bless you!

  1. Brother, So glad things are going well for you. Know that your story is being used to bring Glory to God in more ways than you know. To be honest, I am jealous for God to speak to me in the same way. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us. This is just the beginning of something AMAZING! -Jenn
