Jesus Culture Dallas 2009 Testimony

This past weekend a group from my church KeyPoint went to Jesus Culture in Dallas. Jesus Culture is ministry out of Bethel Church in Redding California. Christy and I were so excited about our trip to Dallas and knew to expect big things from God. But we were so unprepared for what God had in store for us. The Jesus Culture Band was amazing!! I have never experienced worship like that...we would worship for like an hour or longer. (Awesome!!) At Saturday morning worship Banning gets up and starts calling out people who need prayer. Healing was taking place throughout the crowd it was amazing! Banning calls out scoliosis and immediately I stand up and I am swarmed by a group of people. They lay hands on me and begin praying for my healing. I reach my arms straight in the air and start bending my neck from side to side. Anytime that I would do that in the past I would feel pain. So I kept bending and bending while they were praying and then all of a sudden the pain was gone. I just started crying and thanking God. A girl behind me could feel my spine moving. My shoulders that were uneven were no longer uneven. I ran up on stage to give my testimony. It was a great experience and I will never forget and I will thank God every day for the miracle He gave to me.
Later on that afternoon we had our Treasure Hunt. A Treasure Hunt is where you pray and ask God to give you clues, that will eventually lead you to people that need prayer or a blessing. So we pile up in the car. As we are riding to the mall I am praying and asking God for my clues. Christy and I were able to go together in the Treasure Hunt and seven of my clues check out. Two people that we were led to were from Northwest Arkansas. What are the odds?? I got to bless a couple's future marriage, a woman's travel, two healings, etc. It was sooooo great...God is awesome!! The entire trip was just full of supernatural experiences. I give God all the glory and I thank him for allowing me to experience His wonder. The speakers really spoke a lot about revival, which I know is coming. Northwest Arkansas better lookout because God is about to set this place on fire, if he hasn't already. We all are going to start seeing Signs and Wonders. Healings are going to start taking place all over NWA. I can see it in our near future. So start preparing your hearts and your spirit.

Blessings!!!!

Planting Seeds

Christy and I wanted to share what God has been speaking to to us lately. So we felt led to go to Borders to hang out. We ended up in the cafe area at first where we got the best kind of slushy I have ever had. Anyway we started sharing notes and scriptures that the Lord had been giving to us. While we were sharing, this girl came over and set right next to us, so we knew that she was hearing every word that we were saying. Towards the end of our conversation we decided, we need to walk around the store and ask God to send to us anyone who may need to hear from him. But before we began to pray I asked the girl if she needed prayer in anyway. I think she was really surprised by the question. She told us no, she was okay. (Seed planted) So we prayed for direction, split up, and wandered around Borders. After a while I go led to the card section where there was this woman that I couldn't stop looking at. God said, "That's the one, now tell her I am here with her". To be honest, it took me about ten minutes to push through the fear and actually speak to her. But I eventually went up to her, introduced myself, and told her, God just wants you to know that whatever it is you are going through he is with you. She was very surprised and said wow that's kinda nice to know. And that was basically it. I had nothing else to say. God just had those words for her. But for God to use me in that way was amazing!!! So after that, Christy and I had to sit down, I was so overwhelmed by his presence. While we were sitting I told her that I was feeling led to the hospital, 3rd floor. So we immediately went up to the check out counter, because I found a great book to buy. While we were waiting to check out, Christy felt led to buy chocolates for the people in the hospital. So then we hopped in the car and drove over the hospital, its like 9:00pm now. We were thinking are we even going to get into the hospital. But we knew we were suppose to be there, so we just knew we would get in. We walk up to the front entrance and its locked. So as we turn to walk back to the car, a man gets out of a taxi and says are you trying to get in. He lets us in without even asking why we were there. So cool!! We knew it was God. So we go straight to the elevator and push button 3 to go to the third floor. When we step out of the elevator and we notice that we are standing outside of the Surgery Waiting Room. But the room was empty, there was only two nurse. But we knew we were suppose to be there. So we waited and I got the feeling that it was one of the nurse. As soon as I said that, the nurse came over to us. God brought her to us, so amazing. We told her why were there and asked if she needed prayer. (Seed planted) She told us that she wanted her eye to heal. She didn't seem comfortable enough for us to pray with her, so prayed on our own. After that we went back to the elevator and went to the 4th floor and ended up in the ICU waiting room. God was just pulling us into that room. There were two families in there and we weren't sure if were suppose to talk to them. So we just sat down and waited for God. The family sitting close to us just seemed so upset and sad. Christy and I began worshiping and speaking in the spirit very quietly for like twenty minutes. And before we knew it that family had so much joy. They were laughing and sharing stories. It was so awesome to see the transformation. We figured out that we were there to cast out the enemy.

After all that we knew that God had used us in small ways to plant seeds and to help others. The Lord was also able to work in us. He gave us the courage to break through the fear and we now know what it feels like to share his love with other people. I share this testimony with all of you to give the the glory to God. What He did in Christy and I last night was amazing!!!! Praise God!!!
