Thoughts...

I just felt to share my heart tonight. 
Satan is trying so hard right now to bring people down...bring them fear, doubt, anxiety, sickness, and pain. Nothing new right? I think that because of how God has been moving in us lately, it has made us see satan's tricks more and more.

Tonight I got a text from a dear friend of mine asking for prayer for her grandmother. I've known this family since I was in preschool with this girl. My dad went to school with her mom. She told me tonight that her grandmother has two tumors on her liver, and one happens to be malignant. 

I can't imagine how this feels to her. Her family is so close...but yet I see an opportunity for God to show Himself strong to them. I know that the malignant tumor in this woman is a demon spirit that had better get ready to run because my self and many others have gone to prayer. 

My God is a great, miraculous, loving God...and I believe His hand is in this. It is no longer our battle. We have given it to the Lord. It doesn't matter what the symptoms are. We just have to believe, receive, and confess it. 

I will never be able to express with words how much I love the Lord and how thankful I am with the blessing He has given me through my short 20 years of life. 

God bless you friends. Thanks for listening. :)

Hebrews 4:12

My dear friends. I have come to love this scripture, for it is a great reminder to me of the weapon God has given me to fight and overcome satan in this day. 

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I love the word of God and love that it is thought of as a sword. Keep the whole armor of God on friends! Keep your sword sharp and ready at all times. 

God bless and have a wonderful day!

Love so Real



How my mind is at a loss for words at this moment. I have never felt God's love so much before in my life. I just want to give Him the praise tonight, and thank Him for what He has done in my life and what He is doing. 
I'd also like to thank Him and testify that I have been delivered from thoughts I have struggled with so long. No more doubt. 



I Praise you God. And thank you for your goodness and reality. It's the new "norm." ;)

My Awesome God

Wow. I just can't get over the way that God is moving in His people! We had another 5 hour service today that was filled with awesome worship. I am just so excited about this revival that is taking place. 

This past quarter of school was a draining one both spiritually and emotionally. But with retreat and last Sundays amazing service I have been revived. It hit me today...that I am so lucky to be living in this time. I have seen God literally turn someone's life around in one service...and that was the first time I had ever seen it. It gives me faith for my friends who are running from God. I'm so excited to see God move not only in myself, but my brothers and sisters all over the world. 

I wish I could describe to you my joy right now dear friends. I would love to quit school and worship God all day long, every day, until He comes to take us home....(fingers crossed) it isn't an impossible desire! Just one that I think will have to wait. 

Anyways, I just wanted to share my excitement with you all! Remember, satan only puts fear and doubt in our hearts because he is afraid of what we can do and he knows that we have the faith and power in us to defeat him. He has lost his grip on us saints. We are taking back our territory and fighting until the end! And we have creative power in our words so confess your testimony! Confess your healing and deliverance! Speak blessings on your loved ones and have faith! We are taking everyone with us on this journey. Satan cannot have a single one. God bless every soul tonight!

God is so Great...

This past week, as you know, I spent my time at Winter Youth Retreat. This had to have been the best year we have ever had. I always start out kind of like...meh it's just another retreat...the whole "fleshly" response to things. But I know that when I get there I will be blessed. 

The theme for this year was "Loosing my mind, finding reality. Be real to me God." I knew there was more to this theme but didn't know what. Brother William Branham said that the battle of the mind was the greatest battle ever fought...and boy was he right. 

When the group of 150 or more young people gather at this camp...great things happen. I feel completely confident that the faith of all of us coming together can accomplish anything. 

The first night service started out great. The second night, though, you could really feel that something wasn't right. Satan was fighting us young people as hard as he could to keep us from receiving anything from God...but as I said before...the faith of the young people came together and broke through! There wasn't even an altar call and we all gathered up there, began praying, and God moved. 

Every service after that was amazing. Everyone seemed so different this year. There was more of a desire to have Godly conversation instead of the shallow talk about the weather. People were holding devotions before and after service and even during meals. 

The day everyone left camp was New Years Eve. 80 of us gathered at one house for pizza, then a few groups broke away and went to different friends houses around the area. One group in particular had a complete move of God that was enough to make the cops come and arrest them all! (Thankfully that didn't happen.)

The next day, which was this past Sunday, all of the young people that came to our church gathered in a back room and had prayer before service. The service continued as follows: amazing congregational worship, 2 hours of testimonies with a few song specials in between, then an hour or so of Bro. Paul preaching, and about another hour of everyone at the altar praying together and worshiping our amazing God. 

Four hours of worship my friends. We haven't had a service like this since I was about 14. The presence of God was so strong, Bro. Paul couldn't even preach! 
What an amazing way to start the year off. Every testimony raised my faith, every song increased my love for God, and every word Bro. Paul spoke gave me more of a hunger to serve the Lord and be closer to Him. 
Most people think that a revival is some shouting, dancing, speaking in tongues service. But that's not it at all. A revival is a refreshing of the spirit of God in your very soul. It's like having God breathe new life into you. 

All I have to say after a week like that is, I can't wait for the rapture to come so we can spend eternity with God and all of our brothers and sisters in Christ. 

God bless you all friends. I pray that God blesses each and every one of you in this coming year. And may He come quickly.

"Keep your mind stayed on me, stayed on me, faithfully. And I will give you perfect peace, sweet release, if you'll just keep your mind stayed on me."
