Snowballing Godly Madness!


Ok, I've just started a training school 2 days a week in Bedford and it's to be trained in living a naturally supernatural life! Pretty Awesome!

In the first few sessions when we were worshipping God some pretty exciting pictures and prophetic words were given. The one that stuck out in my mind was a picture which was about a snowball at the top of hill starting to roll down the hill and as it went it got bigger and the weight of it carried it with increasing momentum so it was getting faster and faster! At the top we were all standing and cheering, jumping up and down etc (i.e getting excited about it!) So as I come back to stortford on the friday and turn up at the youth group for our church, I hear about how in the college age community group the previous night one of the girls who had ben suffering from a month long headache was prayed for and got totally healed!

That evening Nic (the youth leader) asked for anyone who was ill to come forward to be prayed for, one of the youth came forward and asked to be prayed for as she had a perforated ear drum, after praying 5 or 6 times for the pain to go, she was completely healed of all the pain she had in her Ear!! YeeeeHahhhh!

After the youth group, I left for a weekend away to Suffolk with a small group. We arrived and the next morning went for a walk led by Mr Pete Williams. Whilst walking along this incredibly dangerous designated footpath (basically I wasn't paying attention to what I was treading on) I went over on my ankle and kind of danced/walked it off and just ignored any pain there was. Once we completed the 5 mile walk and arrived back at our huge house (Orlando - the picture above) I sat down and after 5 mins stood back up and realised that once my ankle was in loads of pain i.e i was limping around. I went up to the lounge to sit down found Amy and Nic in there reading, i told them about what had happened and Amy offered to pray. They both prayed for the pain to go in Jesus Name. i stood up to see if any thing had shifted...... no pain, no limping, my full weight on the previously 'dodgy' foot! Awesome God!
Seems like in my world the snowball has started rolling. :-)

Prostitute on Holiday!

At last, I've finally come to my first post. Im glad its a story about how God interrupted a prostitutes life on her night working in Mallorca. The story is how God used me to show his love to a woman, without me really clocking what was going on at the time.
Whilst on holiday in Magalluf with 4 friends, I was walking alone back up the hill to our hotel, when out of a side street a North African woman grabs my arm and starts asking me if I would give her money for her services. After I refused, without thinking and not of my own boldness or thinking I directly say 'You need Jesus'. In an instance she switched and her facial expression changed to a look of slight shock and says to me in her North African accent, 'I have Jesus'. I was surprised when she said this and asked if she had accepted Jesus into her life and knew him, she confirmed that she did know Jesus and that she went to a church on the island. I started talking to her about how her prostituting herself was dishonoring herself and destroying her on the inside and then said 'Why do you do it?' She began to explain briefly how she didn't have enough money for food so she sold herself so she could buy food to survive. I started to tell her how God can provide for all our needs and said told her that she needed to start trusting in God for his provision. I asked what her name was and if i could pray for her in her situation and that she would start to know God as her provider and live in light of that. She said her name was Mary and she would like me to pray for her so I prayed for her what I said I would and afterwards she looked as if God had touched her heart. I decided to give her some money to buy some food and we said bye. How cool is that!

This didn't happen because I looked for people to pray for and it wasn't a boldness which I hyped myself up for but boldness from the Holy Spirit in that moment for that task in which I said what I said. I just believe that God wanted to encounter Mary on that night and I'm full of faith that God will continue to work in her life and provide for her needs. What a privilidge to play a part in bringing God's kingdom. :-)

Its Blog Time

Ok, now and again I see a link for a person's blog and I take a read and think wow thats exciting! It would be so great to write one of those...... Well the time is now here. I really hope its not a phase which im just excited about now!
If you are someone who writes a blog already then give yourself a pat on the back (if your arm is long enough, otherwise get someone else to pat you on the back) because you have inspired me.
Whenever I read the stuff I feel involved and part of something, maybe people will do the same with mine? or Maybe i will be writing to myself for the rest of my life .... who really cares!!
Im going to try to post events that have struck me, amazing stuff that God is doing in me and just general cool stuff! I do hope you enjoy!
Keep it real, otherwise your not the real deal!
