Calling Out Destiny

teacher-artI was taking some high school students on a college visit to St. Cloud university. I got the opportunity to engage a retired teacher who was leading this college visit.  She sounded bored and disconnected with these students. Her heart was in the right place though. I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to talk to her about purpose and destiny. I was brief and she said she was too old for destiny ideals. I responded to her that if she was still alive that she had a purpose. This was a hour long drive. [Read more…]

School Prayer

It was conference night at the school I work at and a counselor brought in a student whose conference wasn’t until 5, and at the time, it was 3:45. I needed to leave, but I saw how downcast the student was, and she was one I’ve built a relationship with. She was apparently failing in every class and was in the spring musical. Just before I left, I asked her if I could pray for her. She was somewhat reluctant because I think it was unbelievable to her that God works in schools and in her life. I asked her if she knew Jesus, prayed for her briefly, then left. The next day, I got to ask her how it went, and she said it wasn’t as bad as she thought it was going to be. My response: “See, God DOES answer prayer!” I believe seed was planted in her!!!

Kingdom Connection

indexI had the opportunity to speak kingdom into a young college student this week. She stood out to me among 50 other students at a job fair. I wanted to engage her but I needed the opportunity. She came over on my bus that was full but went back alone. Her name was Zoe. The thing that caught my attention was that she spoke of disliking the world’s system in the business world and in her college. I asked her a little about herself. She was business and agricultural double major. She was also.going to Ethiopia as a peace Corp volunteer. Her heart was in missions and towards establishing God’s kingdom but felt stuck in the worldly college or business landscape. [Read more…]

Powerful Conversation

590x257_01111620_img-article-safe-snow-drivingDue to the recent snow storm I was delayed at the airport. My first client of my international group was from Columbia. He was the only flight to make it on time and therefore the only person on my bus.  He and I talked for a bit and I found out his brother and father were both in the drug business.  Over the next half hour I shared the difference between an empire mentality (drug business) and the kingdom of God mentality.  He said that he believed that God was showing him that he needed to be part of a team using these kingdom ways and break the habit of dealing with people he learned as a kid.

Healed Through Testimony

6974305729_5167bd25f5_zAt our monthly Supernatural Circuit Training, 3 people decided to heal each other’s feet. We shared that feet were being healed in the room and then received this testimony the next day:

“Last night you were teaching about the power of the testimony and you said that someone in the room was getting healing for their foot. I said “I’ll receive that testimony”. No one prayed for me, I didn’t even pray… I just said out loud “I’ll receive that testimony” and went on to the next activation not thinking any more of it. This morning I woke up and took my first step out of bed — NO PAIN! For the first time in I don’t remember how long – I didn’t have to walk like I was 80 years old until my muscles or whatever stretched enough to where I could walk semi-normally. Praise the Lord who can do abundantly and exceedingly more than we can dream or imagine! I continue to be in awe of Him!”
