I DONT WANT TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE MY SOUL!

God is so good!

I DONT WANT TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE MY SOUL!

Yeah, that could sum up my whole blog right now! But I will pleasure you with the opportunity to read my mumbo jumb ! haha =]]

Being here in Masters Commission has definitely been a blessing and it's definitely been a bumpy ride, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! This season of life in the wilderness has taught me a lot! As we continue to Praise God for what He is doing in our lives as a team and individually, we continue to pray that this process will end so we can get to Brasil!

We continue to stay on guard against the enemy because he has nothing on us! We are the children of God and He is our Father! He could offer me the whole world and I wouldnt take it, I'd be selling my soul to the devil!

The devil tries to eat my family for breakfast, bringing discouragement, lack of love, depression, and much more. Being here in Masters Commission is where I am suppose to be and where I need to be, but at the same time its so hard to see my family going through financial difficulties.

My dad is a heavy eqiupment opporator and hasnt worked much since December and even before then he wasnt working a whole lot! This economic struggle our country is going through is hurting not only my family but others. My dad is so so use to being the one that loans out money to family and friends, but pretty soon it's going to be the other way around if he doesnt get to working more! If I were there I would try to help as much as possible! My brother who is 28, almost 29 lives at home but is crippled! He was in the Army and went to Iraq and while serving his country he hurt his knee pretty bad. He had to have sergery but the Army didnt allow him to have sergery until nearly 2 years after he got back from Iraq. So he just had sergery and he cant work until his knee is better. Which could be awhile.

So being here while my family is struggleing is really hard but then I remember that I am going to be helping people and laying my life down. It's not my own. God is good! We'll be to Brasil real soon!

Wilderness

Yesterday, January 7th 2008 I went to Wednesday night service and sat with the Pacheco's. Pastor Joshua and Nellie came as well but they sat it the back someone. (Apparently they thought they were to good for us! haha jk)
Pastor Sean Smith was a guest speaker at Harvest church and let me tell you that man has the anointing of God all over Him.
When we got to the church and sat down and it started his first statements were, "I want to talk to you guys about the wilderness, have any of you guys been in a wilderness experience?" And me and Bruce looked at each other and raised and hand were like, "well yes, yes we have" Then Bruce was like I hope Pastor Joshua is here. (Because we weren't positive if they were going to be there) He talked about Luke 9 he had the disciples feed the 5,000 even though they didn't understand how it was possible.
He told us not to waste our wilderness experience that God wants you to come out of each wilderness experience in a new dimension. There is a need right now for us to see beyond where we're at and once we do that we will see why God has put us here. This year there is a need to go passed the accepted to the unexpected. The holly Spirit has miracle for us when we go beyond where needed. Many of us dont see the miracles God has for us because we dont want to put ourselves in a place where a miracle is our only way out.009 is a year of miracles!!!!!! Yes it is!He gives us the authority to heal!
The spirit of God is going to move the word of God from our heads, to our hearts, to ours hands! Faith without action is dead! Be obidient to the things we cant rap your head around. (What I got from that was even though we cant rap our head around the fact that we arent in Brasil and why the consulate has jerked us around for so long we are still to be obedient in our walk with our Father!) The most important things in life are unseen! (What I got from that was that we dont see our visas, but they are there and they are coming!)
God is establishing our identity. Once you understand your identity you will go to the supernatural! (What I got from that is God wants us to see who we are and know who we are. It's so funny Pastor Joshua is always like, "Do you know who you are? Do you know who you are? Do you know who you are?" And I realized if he were really asking us that and not just using it in his speakings I wouldn't know what to say) The world doesn't need us to fit in. They need us to walk through life with answers, love and in site. We serve a miraculous God. God doesn't just reveal knowledge, He gives it to us to perform.
We need people in this world who are desperate to be with Jesus, Who have faith. God will help us MEET our needs.
This is a statement he said I really liked, "It takes a moment of stopping your thoughts and listening to the Holly Spirit." My mind is so wild it moves a million miles an hour, its so hard for me to tell it to shut up. A lot of the times I get my thoughts and what could be God talking to me mixed up because I don't stop thinking....
At the end of service, he asked everyone who needed healing to stand up and I did. Bruce and his family prayed for me. After that Bruce was like, "Hey want to go up there and see if he'll pray for us?" So we did. But instead of Sean Smith we had Pastor Gary pray for us. Bruce, Nellie, me and Pastor Joshua. He prayed for our Visas. After he was done praying we started talking and all of the sudden this black lady (apparently she's prophetic) she came up behind me and push me in and was like, "Everyone scoot in scoot in. I ended up being in the middle of this circle which was awkward..haha... But I didn't mind, she kept saying to us, "You have a task ahead of you, and it will be completed." She just kept saying that! It was amazing!
Thank you Jesus! God is good! That was awsome!!
