November

So life has been alot the same... work, school, etc. So I thought I'd just throw in little nuggets of what I've learned lately:
We've been assigned to pick a story in the Bible and do Biblical research and ask God to give us downloads. I've done several but David and Goliath was one of my favorites!
"Your giant may sound big, you have to remember your God is bigger." "Most people fear the giants so much that they not only run but spend life quaking in fear." "We need to be so confident in 'who we are' in Christ that when our identity is questioned we are not moved!
The first week of November was inner healing. Wow! It was powerful! The first day we got into groups of two to three with one male and two females to stand in the place of those who had hurt us to forgive and be forgiven. At first no one really wanted to do it, yet the results we're so powerful for those who opened up and let old wounds be revisited and healed when they forgave those who had hurt them. Wednesday was outreach day which is always powerful bringing Jesus' truth to kids from 1st to 6th grade. Thursday was on the Father's heart and our identity. Friday was on Spiritual Slavery to Spiritual Sonship. Both were very powerful. God did alot with each student on those days. I personally was freed from alot of junk I didn't even know existed.
The next week we attended Bill Johnson and Randy Clark's healing school. Again, it was amazing. Even though my head is still spinning from all the info we've learned this month! I'm going to just write a few things that really hit me at the conference.
"My great intellect makes for a great conversation but makes a horrible lord." "Jesus had to have a peace in his heart and internally before He could release peace to end the storm. We're always positioned to change the world around us. It starts with inner peace." "When someone isn't healed you learn to have compassion and it an open invitation to come be with God to find the key to have break through." "Scripture doesn't contain God, it reveals Him." "If you hear a word more than once, it will most likely face more oppostition and oppression. It doesn't mean it's the most important or defining word of your life."
This week is on the Holy Spirit. It's been good. Today we are hearing from some missionaries who've spent time with Heidi Baker and are going to work in the underground churches in China. I'm really excited! Oh, we'll find out where we are going for our mission trip as well!
TTYL!

Wow... where do I start? I feel like God is accelerating my learning abilities this year! This last month we studied prophecy. I feel like I have a really good foundation with that area now. I just love all the foundational stuff I've been learning. It's been really awesome. I've really enjoyed working with the counseling people. It's amazing to see how much people are transformed just going through a prayer session and just realizing that God loves them no matter what they've done or gone through. It's so rewarding when I see them walking around free because they've experience the Father's love. Even the training I'm receiving from being under this group has been amazing! I know God is giving me a huge dose of what I'm going to need in the future... although what that is I still don't know. I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to go to Thailand in March to work with the prostitutes and sex slavery. The thought of coming up with that money when I'm barely making ends meet is challenging; yet God is my provider and if its suppose to happen it will. This past couple months have been hard yet good. God has been doing alot of refining. This week's theme has been doing inner healing for all of us students. Although it hasn't been very fun; it's been amazing all that I and my fellow students have been freed of. Next week we're going to Bill Johnson and Randy Clark's healing school in Abilene. I'm really excited. Work has been really good. I love my job! My manager has been amazing as far as working with my school schedule. I am walking in His favor and learning to live out of the Kingdom realm!
More to come,
