The Parable of the Leaves and the Gutters

There was once a man who lived in a house. And next to this house grew a bunch of trees. Now during fall the trees leaves fall off and land in this man gutters. The gutters on the south side tell the man “don’t worry, these leaves cant stop me, no need to clean them out, I have this under control…” The gutters on the North say “They are just little nuisances don’t worry about them” So the man doesn’t clean out the gutters. But then a storm comes and a mighty rain falls. The water starts to fill up the gutters and the leaves start to move into the down spout holes and cause the gutters to fill up with leaves and water. The gutter starts to break off of the house. The storm hurts the gutter. And now it has to be fixed in the middle of the storm in a time that neither the man nor the gutter wants to be fixed.

The man is God/Jesus/Holy Spirit who gives us opportunities and for warns us about the things to come to help us prepare. The gutter is us who are called to be and walk like Jesus that take preparation. The leaves are demons/negative things in are lives that are small and not important until the Storm (the glory and shaking of the Lord) comes and if we are a cleaned out gutter it will be a amazing experience but if not Everything Will Be Shaken.

Hebrews 12:26-29

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens. The words "once more" indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire."

Freedom in The Islands...

Kona Hawaii

I got the opportunity to go with Pastor Dave Bryan and his wife Cheryl and her sister Juanita to the university of the nations, Kona, Hawaii. Pastor Dave was teaching a Spiritual Warfare and deliverance class there. I was apart of the team to pray for the students who felt like they needed some healing before giving it to the nations they were going to this next week.

One of the many amazing things that happened this last week was a observation I made about myself. I think that it might fit most of us. I have grew up in a lot of the revelation that was shared this week but after praying and talking with so many people who have never heard this teaching before. And actually the teaching goes against even what a lot of the student’s theology. I realized that I take for granted the revelation that I have been taught.

But a few quick testimonies the Lord really opened up discernment this week to me. At one point I was working on my computer when Pastor Dave was telling stories of Alistair Crowley and I started to feel very fearful, to the point my hand started shaking. Knowing that I wasn’t really scared(I had heard the stories before) I presented what I was feeling to Juanita and Dave. Later we found out that at that very time we had multiple people stricken with fear some even had bad dreams that night. They ended up in a prayer session and got Free. Thank you God for words of knowledge that set the captives Free.

One of my tops for the week was a young boy from Norway who for the past year had wavered on excepting Jesus, recognizing the cost, gave his heart to the Lord. He was led through for given man then God forgave him. It was a time of great rejoicing in heaven and on earth.

Another really cool thing was a lady on break (along with her one of her class leaders) came up to me and said during the session God had brought something to her remembrance about fear in her life. She then told me her story. As a kid she was locked into a refrigerator and almost died, and since then if she ever is in a situation where she feels trapped or is going to lose her breath she freezes and cant move until she feels safe again. Right then and there on here break I just did a little Sozo. I asked God to take her back to that memory and to show her where He was. She said he was the breath that was keeping her alive. And then I asked God to take her to the door where fear had come in and asked him to shut it. She then said she saw the refrigerator and it was shut and there was a chain around it and it was locked. She wasn’t inside. She received full healing and deliverance from Fear… PRAISE THE LORD…. HE IS AMAZING…

A Outpouring in Nebraska

I know this is going to be kinda over due but i still wanted to write about Nebraska.

October 20th-25th

I had the privilege to go to Nebraska with a good friend of mine Eddie Tait and 18 others from Bethel church in Redding. I just wanted to write about some of things there that really touched me.

For starters this group of 20 traveled all of the state of Nebraska, ministering and equipping the saints. It was amazing time. We went from Omaha (the furthest east) to Scotts Bluff (the furthest west) and all up ad down I80. We minster to so many churches who had never even seen a miracle before.

Even whole denominations were touched by the love, grace and power of my best friend Holy Spirit.

I am just going to list a few of the amazing things we saw...

People who had a leg shorter then the other, their leg grow out.

Migraines

a high school girl couldn't get down on her knees was getting down and up no pain 100%

Depression lifted off people..

Back Pain (which includes all of the above, not sure a little sore)

Myself and a friend were going to this church plant in St. Paul, the night before god woke him up and told him that He was going to heal numbness. When we showed up there was a little over 20 people and we both had a list of words of knowledge. Personally I thought are all these words of knowledge in there. We were both blown away. There was at least 6 people in this room who had numbness (from legs, to arms etc). Depression was lifted back injuries, etc...

There was so many amazing things that happen in Nebraska but i am going to share one last story that I really enjoy.

It was during a time of worship and the team was going around ministering. I saw this man really overcome by the presence of God. I went to him and started prophesying Dreams over his life. I asked him if had dreams. He said he doesn't and if he does he doesn't recall it. When he said that i got a word of knowledge about nightmares. So i asked him if he had nightmares, he said "when i was a kid" So i prayed for him again. the next morning meeting he came up to me and said last night i had a dream of the Lord and woke up singing worship songs...

PRAISE THE LORD...... HE IS AMAZING...

Stirring up Our Gifts

God has given us gifts to use in this day to bring light to the darkness.

1 corinthians 14:1 "Pursue Love and desire and cultivate spiritual gifts"...

But those things are not given to us to collect dust on the shelf then just some day we can pick it up and expect it will be working the just fine. Your gift is like a camp fire, if you just leave it alone it will go out. We must fan the flame.

2 Timothy 1:6 (amp) That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination].

When i read this is was a refreshing verse. The power of laying on of hands is not just for the person receiving prayer but the person praying.

"We are not responsible for the results" We lay our hands on the sick, demonized and dead, out of obedience and a commandment to us as christians.

By praying more fan the flame of our gift and come in relationship with the Lord.

I also can promise that the more we step out in risk and obedience and the more healing, signs and wonders we will see. And the more we dont do anything the more we be 100 percent at not seeing a miracle.

God the Provider

Ezekiel 47:8,9,12

8...When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. 9 Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

12Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."

God is a healing God and he also is a providing God. Fish, produce, and agricultural stuff in the bible was what we today call the Dollar Bill… or George Washington…

This river, which comes from the throne of God, not only heals but provides Money. So no kids money doesn’t grow on a trees but comes right out of the River. J

We as the Lords children just need to abide in him.

John15: 7-8

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

Testimony

Just about 3 months ago I was planning to ask my girlfriend to marry me. As I was telling close friends and family this (she didn’t know) they started to tell me the realties of getting married. Bills, Insurance, Rent, Dates, Clothes, etc. And on top of that I needed to get an engagement ring. I started to second-guess the whole thing. Things got a little stressful, but I really felt like God wanted me to do this (the whole marriage thing). When God ask us to do things (or wants us to do things) doesn’t mean without him. So I gave it to the Holy Ghost, almost instantly a got together with a lady who laid out four rings and said I could pick any of them. (Really nice rings) PORVIDED… and it keeps coming… God is So Good.. Just taste it…and if you cant taste it.. Look around and see it… J
