As I was preparing for my trip to Bethel I thought of all the healing I needed from God. I also couldn't wait to experience God at a different level. My main desire was to go deeper into His love. Well the trip seemed to take forever! But it was so worth it, all 9 hours of it-with three guys! Right when we got to Redding we went straight to Bethel Church to the on-call Pastor to have some items prayed over for some members of our church. We also went to check out the Prayer Room they built on campus. It had an amazing garden area and a pool called Bethesda where people can wade in the water. We didn't stay to pray though.
The first service we went to was Friday night. I was really expecting God to show up and He did. As I was worshipping God and praising Him I felt His presence all over. As I kept worshipping I was asking God to heal me and to show me His glory. As I prayed I felt a warmth come over my body and into my stomach. I knew right there that God was touching me and healing me of PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). I saw no real physical changes but I was expecting great things from God.
The next day we went to the healing rooms to get some things prayed over for members of our church and I also got prayer for some other physcial needs. It was a great time at the healing rooms and we were able to soak in the presence of God. Even though Friday and the Saturday Healing Rooms were great I was still wanting to hear from God through prophetic words.
Well, Saturday night we decided to go to Bethel's Prayer Room and just pray. As we were walking through the garden area I saw a lion statue that I wanted to take a picture of. I told Nathan that I wanted a picture but that there was a guy laying down next to it that I did not want to disturb. Nathan responded by saying, "We don't need to talk to him." So we went over.
As we walked next to the statue the guy sat up and asked us if we wanted a word from God! Of course we both spoke up and said yes! Adam was the guys name and he asked us if we wanted them recorded on my phone. So we not only got a prophetic word from someone we got it recorded! Adam spoke over each of us for around 10 minutes. What he told each of us was something no one would have know but it was right on. It was an amazing word and it matched up with what God had been speaking to me and what others had said over me.
On Sunday we went to the morning service and the second services worship. It was such a great time. The worship was over the top with praise to God. People were free in their worship of God and the presence of God was undeniable. During the second services worship Brad and I saw the glory of God. I would really suggest for others to take a trip to Redding to see what God is doing there. You will come out of it transformed and revived.
Now back to my healing! After we got back from Bethel on Sunday I started getting cramps and I was unsure what it was at first but then I was certain it was a sign of my cycle returning. Before my trip it had been over 2 1/2 years since I had a cycle and the only reason I had it before then was because it was medicine induced. Well sure enough I got my cycle back! God healed me of PCOS! This is great news for my husband and I because we have been trying for kids for almost 3 years. I believe that since my healing we will be able to have the child we have been praying for! God is so good!

Pursuit~Waiting on God
This was an overdue blog post. I have been so busy I
haven't even been able to keep everyone updated on what God has been doing in
my life. If you were not able to attend Pursuit I am sorry you missed it!
But no matter what you can still have your own Pursuit nights during your
prayer time. Well during Pursuit we really wanted to focus on God and seeking
after Him. We wanted everyone to experience a deeper connection with God.
I believe we got that. Even though it was in a very small way I believe it is
the spark to the huge fire that is coming.
During our Pursuit nights we had the privilege of having Timothy McCain speak. His heart is to see Christians not just playing the part but living a life consecrated for Christ. One of the nights we were able to have a Fire Tunnel. A fire tunnel is where people line up in two separate lines and allow others to pass through the middle of both lines to receive prayer.
When it was my turn I stepped through the line and received prayer form my peers. One of the people in line that I treasure and know hears from God spoke to me and told me that God is going to give me a dream that will turn into a vision. It will be as if I went to heaven she said. God is going to pull back the veil and speak to me. He is going to speak to me without moving His lips; I will understand what He is saying. She also said that He is going to give me a great ministry. This last part lined up with something Timothy told me. Timothy prayed over me and prophesied that God was going to give me a Deliverance ministry. A ministry to deliver people from the demonic and addictions in their life.
I can’t wait to hear from God. I can’t wait to be in His presence.

Jubilee is Coming!!!
The last few months Brad and I have been praying and fasting for our
finances. Since we are in school it has been hard to pay off old debt and
keep up with the new costs of attending college. We have really been believing
for a fresh start in 2013. From the beginning of the year our Pastor has
been talking about this being the year of Jubilee, the year for debts to be
cancelled and people to be set free as it states in the Old Testament. I
never really paid attention to where he said this was located in the Bible and
was just taking in what God had told him. Well today as Brad was on his
way to work he was praying and asking God to break the chains of debt. Right
after a commercial came on the radio and Greg Laurie (A Famous Pastor) was
telling a story of how a lawyer gave a homeless man a very large check to help
him get on his feet and the story talked about how the homeless man's debts had
been forgiven.
Brad was thrilled and knew God was speaking directly to him. I honestly didn't think much of it. I did think it was cool but I didn't give it a second thought after I read Brads text. Well, I went on with my night and went into worship and prayer. As I was worshiping the song by Jesus Culture called, "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?" came on my iTunes. If you do not know the song it says,
Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope and
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice
Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you hear the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen One
Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you hear the singers roar?
When the lost began to sing of
Jesus Christ the saving One
And we can see that God You're moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide You Heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord
Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice
Did you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song
And all the streams flow as one river
To wash away our brokeness
And here we see that God You're moving
A time of Jubilee is coming
When young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide You Heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord
Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring Your hope
Songs that bring Your joy
Dancers who dance upon injustice
Once the song got to the part that said, Dancers who dance upon injustice I danced and sang out things that I wanted freedom from. Freedom from Debt specifically. Then I continued to sing and worship and I heard it say, "A time of Jubilee is coming." I had never paid attention to this part of the song and was surprised by it! I was excited because this was exactly what our Pastor was talking about for the last two months. After my prayer and worship time I decided to read my Bible. I have been in Deuteronomy for the last week and could not remember where I had stopped last night. Come to find out I was on chapter 15 which is titled, "The Year for Canceling Debts." I was so shocked to see this. This was the exact scripture that Pastor Terry had been talking to us about without ever revealing where it actually was. God was speaking to Brad and I clearly about our financial situation. I can honestly say after tonight I will not worry again about how we are going to pay for school or even monthly bills. God will take care of it.
