Once upon a time there was this boy who was walking down the wayside along the river of kalboom. We was carrying along minding his own business and eating a chocolate bar and drinking a pepsi, when a bird began to talk to him. This bird was dressed with brilliance of colours and sang songs of great harmony and melody. The little bird spoke to the boy of his future and destiny. With enchanting words and prophetic declarations, the bird told the boy of all of the powers of the age to come and showed him the heavanly realm. Unfortunatly, the boy didnt belaive that birds could talk so he shot it with a bee bee gun and ate it for supper.
The End

The Lord has removed the log of selfishness from my eye, and now I can see clearly the selfishness of people.(john7:1-5) It kind of sucks because they are missing out on all the possabilities to be a blessing and just give. It would be a wonder to see what the church would be today if christians were more like Jesus. Bill Johnson makes an interesting comment on how everything that God created gives. Every thing that is in its right order gives of itself from leaves to the trees to animals.
The way that God has been showing me this about myself has been in many ways. These past 5 days i have been fasting, where i have only drank liquids like coffee and water, no food at all. It has been tough for it is the first extended fast I have ever done. It has been good  because it gave me a greater sensativity to the spirit and opened my eyes to see things that were there all along but I could not see because of my selfish motives.
I heard an interesting definition of joy a long time ago and it always stuck with me
J-jesus
O-others
Y-youself
That we should be giving ouselves in this order. Firstly to Jesus, than to others, than to ouselves. I have just finished the book Reese Howelle Intercessor by Normand Grubb.  It is a biography on resse howells. He was no special guy, but Holy spirit just called him, like he calls us all, to a selfless life continually being obediant to Holy Spirit and pouring himself out for other people. The only difference was, reese actually did it and it is an amzing account of how god used this man in a very powerfull way. For example,  Mr.Howells lived a standard of "first need first claim" that if he knew of someone that was in need, lets say financialy, and he also was in need, but had the money. He would give the money away if the other person needed the money first. He also was not allowed to pray for a need of someones if he was not willing to meet that need himself. It is intence to hear of supernatural provision for a life laid down in such a way.
(another book i have just finished is Final Quest by rick joyner. read the last chapter. be careful now, these two boks might just change your life.)
The purpose of this blogg is not to complain, but hopefully put into perspective a couple of thing that the lord has given me permission to speak about. Because I had to be shown in myself these things before i could really have liberty to speak correction on them.
Its actually disgusting how christians think when it comes to themselves. We get all impatiant and in  a fuss when our food isnt ready at the restaurant when we wan it, or the eggs arent' cooked to our liking, or how some dont want to go evangelising because it is too much of an inconvenience to meet somewhere out of thier schedule, or to get up a little bit earlier to go to early morning prayer. We must realize that the needs of others are more important than those of ourselves. We must be willing to deny what we want for the good of those who are in need. The poor, the orphans, the sick. Many of whom have stopped crying out because people never came. And i am not even talking about going ove seas to feed the poor in africa, there is pleanty of need here in the west, it will just be a little harder for us to see fruit, or the result of our actions here, because this culture in unaware  of our desperation and hunger. But, Jesus did say to sell all that we had, give to the poor, and follow him. but he couldnt of actually meant that could he?...
And really, it's not even about our nice clothes, or our ten pairs of shoes, our fancy cars, or our big houses. It's about the heart. God could care less if we all owned 1000 pairs of shoes and all lived in castles. All he wants is a heart that is completly His. 2 chronicles 16:9 say The eyes of the lord are searching to a fro throughout the earth to strongly support a heart that is completly his. And God's heart is for people. He is the all sufficiant one, but he uses us. His body. He uses his body to  provide for the world. We are his body, and Jesus' body was broken for us so that we could be made whole. Many People cry out to God and ask to be used by Him, But whne they do they feel used. We have to realize hat we need to come together as a church, not be some dismembered bride, and begin to break our selfish desires and motives down for the good of this world. In 1 john 3:18 it says not to love in word or in tongue but in deed and in truth.
It is time for the church to rise up and become what chirst has intended. We need to become the solution for the world's problems. He has made us able! Just as jesus's body was broken for us, so we should be broken for the world.

Anyways, I hope that this has shone some light on our Westernized, Capitalistic rhetoric.

I just pray that the spirit of wisdom and reveltaion be released over you to see the goodness of god and the filthyness of self. That a holy hunger will arise within you to serve others and pursue God in a way that you have never experienced before.

in love

More Lord!

this is a prophecy that some elder at the church where i do youth gave me...

You are in the river- An danger can appear.
You are in a desert--And a river can appear.
You may be in the midst of a storm
But have i not given you a rainbow?

Yea I have given you My word and
I will do exactly as i said I would do.
Now is the time that I will show you My glory
I say stand- Put Me first and se what I will do.
This is just the beginning and you ahvent seen anything yet.

Yea- For those that stand- My glory shall shine through them and
the world will not be able to touch them that honour Me.
Walk with Me and see what I wil do
If you will but take hold of what My servant is saying- things will
change- Even his day and you will never be the same again.

Have I not commissioned you?
What are you waiting for?
Now is the appointed time- Look not to the left nor the right-
But straight ahead and march forward in My glory.

Given to Joshua Heymans   By Rev Claude Demer

As I come home to my dark house, I walk up the stairs, and I can barley see anything. The only light is from a street light through a window covered by blinds. The thought comes to me, what would I do if, as I turned on this light if there was a man standing at the op of my stairs right in front of me. Or even better; a demon.    

What would your response be? Fear? Dread? Nervousness? Excitement? Calmness?
I would have probably fallen down the stairs. And believe me I am well aware of the scripture in 1 john 4:4.

I think most of get to wrapped up in the completed works of Jesus on the cross that we come to a place of lethargic complacency in which any form of darkness that we are faced with, scares us half to death and we run. Thus allowing the enemy to conquer that land. Jesus' place of completed works, which He came victorious in, enabled us to go forth from that place of victory onto further victory. We mustn't sit on our arse in rest while darkness spreads, we must fight in rest.  I believe that we have sheltered ourselves so much from the evil in this world that whenever we get exposed to it, it engulfs our little flame. We must get to know the one in whom we believe. And in doing so, in the place of intimacy, his anointing oil of the holy spirit will feed our pitiful candle flame into a consuming fire. But this cannot be the end. As I said before, we cannot sit around all day and sing "koom-by-ah". We have to take what we are given in that secret place and give it away to a dark and dying world.

You see, most of don't really know too much about the dark side. Well at least I don't. Up until recently, all of my spiritual encounters have been good. Holy. Holy spirit can only show me Jesus, so my spiritual encounter have been of love, righteousness, peace, and joy. These are very crucial things of great(er) strength an power, but we cannot underestimate the power of darkness. I am reminded of a recent psychic fair that went on in my city. A couple friends and I were all excited to go and evangelize to people there with the power of god. But I don't think any of us expected what was going to happen. When we first went, the atmosphere was so intensely thick that I actually had a hard time breathing, let alone preaching the gospel to a psychic. One of the assistants even noted on my struggles. At least the next day I was able to function enough to preach and share some encouraging words to a few people. I think most of the church is so sheltered from the world that we don't know how to overtake it. And I am sick and tired of all this dogmatic crap that says "well its not me who can do anything, it is all Jesus" and " well jesus did it all so how can I do anything" or even " that sounds like works, just rest" and even "it's finished". These are all spiritual and scriptural truths. Jesus' work on earth is finished. His mission was fulfilled. And in that, it has enabled US to do something. (2 cor 3:5-7) He is finished and now he has passed the baton on to us and said "just as I have been sent, so I send you!"(john 20:21) I think that most of these pitiful doctrinal statements would do more harm to the kingdom than good. For example, if you were talking to someone on the street about jesus, and they opened up and began to tell you how their step father rapes them every night after he gets piss loaded, how would you respond? I don't know! That is a tough one, But I almost guarantee you that a teaching on the grace of god and resting in His love isnt going to help a whole lot.
1John 3:18
I do believe that these are foundational truths that every believer should be well aware of, but foundational indeed. These truths MUST motivate us and empower us and impart a greater sense of passion than anything else.

I don't have all the answers, I better stop before I say anything too offensive.

Help us God!

Well tonight was another amazing night of evangelism as God allowed His power and love to flow through some friends of mine and myself. At the rate things are going, there is coming a time when I will not be able to writ all the cool things that god is doing. For in Isaiah 9 it says " there will be no end to the increase of his government". We aint seen nothing yet. But i think this will be the last blog where i extensivly write details on the miracles that are done.
There were three of us in total. We went to the mall at around 5 pm until about 730. We started "priming the pump" by sitting on a bench and asking god for wors of wisdom on peoples names. We werent having much success, but i find it fun and it opens the door to talk about god. SO after a few minutes, we had decided to talk to this one guy about financial miracles that god had provided for us. Whether it was a word of knowledge or not, was rather quite successful. So when my two friends were talking to this guy, i just sat on the bench and began to praise god. This young beautifuk black lady started talking to me. asking me somehting like if i had a brother or something because i looked familiar...somthin like that, but i decided to start asking her about jesus, and if she talked with him or heard him. AN she asked the smae questions back. She actually asked me quote: " What does he say about me?" and man o man what an open door! I began to prophecy over her and it was a pretty good word. AS i was just speaking gods goodness to her, these four highschool kids behind us, over herd and joined the convo. So the black chick left shortly after i was done talking about her, but then i noticed tha one of the girls was wrapping her wrist in a tensor bandage. So i asked if i could pray for her. I did and in result she began to move her wrist in a way hat she was not able to do before without pain. Praise God! She said she was a musician and neede her hands. but she wrapped it back up again shortly after. From there we wnet and a fruit drink and headed to the movie theater, which was right next door. On the way I tried to give this man a salvation booklet, but he nearly bit my head off for offering. So as soon as we got out the door we saw these 3 young lads and one was alking with cruches. I asked if we could pray for him and we was deffinatly up for it. Actually so was his friend. One other guy asked quote: " Can you pray for me too?" when we responed "no man we can only pray for one person a night, tkae a number and we'll ask holy spirit if it is alright!" Joking!! So the guy in the cruches had torn some ligaments and he didnt want to move it around so i am not sure if he received healing, but ti was a good time to minister jesus to them and they were more than happy to receive out salvation booklets. Praise God!!!
From there we didnt really see awhole lot more, we just got to pray for some sick people and minister gods abundant love to people as well. Halelujiah!!!
Gospel in Action!!!
After the movie theater god totaly brought his girl i used to work with acros my path. I thought i never would see her again, and we actually got along pretty well. SO that was cool too! God is good!
From there we went back to buddies place and had some good time fellowship. Praise the lord!
I am almost affraid to say what i usually end my blogs with "more lord!" because it is actually happening. Which brings me to another interesting point. DO you know, that  when you put into practice what the bible teaches, things actually happen that it says will happen!? Like its actually true!!!

SO god i just ask for your help to prepare me for the increase of fruitfulness that you are going to pour though me! In jesus name...

More Lord!!!

Well, I havent posted a blog in quite some time now. A couple weeks anyways.
Ya, a scripture that has really been alive to me lately is hebrews 12:11 which says: No disipline is joyful at the present time, but  sorrowful. But to those who are trained by it, it produces the peacable fruits of righteousness.
Ya, thats all I will say about that. Chastening Sux! but It is all GOOD!!

Praise God! This afternoon was kind of interesting. A few weeks ago, a girl from school and I went to a local mall to evangelize. Nothing too exciting happened. We got to minister the love of god to a couple of people and pray heling over a couple as well. This one lady we came across was in a wheel chair. Amanda and I, stopped her as she rolled by us. I began to share with her about god's healing power through christ and such while amanda just blankly stared. (she was kind of outof her comfort zine for she was not used to this kind of stuff). But we eventually convinced her to get out of her wheelchair. She didnt get healed, but we did cntinue to minister to her through word and prayer. She mentioned that she needed a new wheelchair, which god gave her a couple weeks later. After talking, we exchanged e-mail adresses' for a point of conact. I have talked with her a couple times on msn, but today was rather intereting. We began talking about jesus because her screen name and picture indicated a rather depressing feeling. And i had made a comment that she took offence to and asked what church i was from again. I dont reall like throwing church names around or mnistries around when i am evangelism, but the girl i was with was all excitied that we were bible college students so she told her everything. So this wheelchair girl asked for the name of the dean of students to launch  a complaint about me. I told her his name and even gave her the phone number of the church and his extension and his e-maol adress. So that will be neat to see how this turns out. I am not too worried. Persecution just tells you that you are on the right track. Heck! look at jesus, he was considered a stone of stumbling, a rock of offence! He said some pretty harsh things you know! People complained about him and they eventually killed him.
So right after this happened I went and started cooking some food. and here is where it gets good.
one of my roomates walks into the kitchen to get a drink. he is a Muslim, and i have talked about jesus to him and his muslim friends several times. SO anyways, i was cooking plenty of food, which i knew i could not eat by myself, so i offered him some. He said he was feeling kind of sick, that earlier that dau he almost threw up, and started to cough and stuff. So i simply asked him "do you beleive in the power of prayer?" and he said "of course" so i just told him about the laying on of hands that it talks about in the bible, and laid my hand on his stomach, rebuked the spirit of infirmity and spoke life in the name of Jesus and just began to thank Jesus! After I finished, he had a surpirsedlook on his face. I asked him if he was feeling any better, and Lo and Behold, god touched him! I just began to praise God for what he had done. I know that this guy thought somehting about jesus after that.
Hallelujiah!!! whille eating my food, i was just thinking about this, and the lord spoke to me and said " And you think this is fruit!" not in a demeaning way, but just to say like you aint seen nothing yet! wait till you see what i got planned for you! kind of thing

More Lord!!

uhhh, it was a really good weekend at the psychic fair and tacf, but i dont feel like writing right now, so maybe in a feww days... but if you want to check out my friends version go to  www.missionaryjosh.blogspot.com

Last night at the church where i go to school, there was a worship night for young adults. The music was good, not a lot of people showed up and it was an alright time. Nothing too exciting, nothing to blog about.haha

So while in worship, as i lay down, i saw  this vision, and i dont quite know what it means. I have ben thinkin of it quite a bit since last night and i dont know, maybe some of you can help me with he interpretaion. here goes:

There was this tall thin cylinder standing about 3 feet high. It was clear plastic and was also hollow. At the op of it, there these almost lip type things that surrounded the edge of the opening. I dont know how to describe them.The whole thing reminded me of those wataer air things that werepopuar about 3 or 4 years ago. You know, the things that you filled with water and there was this flow of air bubbles an had lights in it, theye were supposed to be all relaxing and such? SO anyway it kinda reminded me of one of those. And these people, all of whom i recognized  during the vision, but now i forget, were running up to the cylinder and trying to put balls in it. Each person had their own ball, and as some would come up to it, were not able to fit their balls in. It was almost like a game, but all the balls were the same size. Just some people were able to get their balls in, and some were not. I also noticed that when people had gotten the balls in the cylinder, i was not able to see the balls anymore. Normaly, i would think that there would be a limit to how many balls you could fit into this ctlinder, but n this vision  there was no limit, it was almos like the balls were going to some opeing at the bottom that i could not see.
I dont know....it was interesting so i thought i would blog it. Reply what you think and what you think it means.
cheers

There is this psycic  fair going on this weknd in st.catharines and some friends and i hav decided to go and minister the love of god through prophetic minisrty and just being a light and a city on a hill that cannot be hidden.

I prophecy that we will go and lives will be changed. That the spirits there will be nullified through the power of god tha will work through us. I also prophecy that there willl be a sweet blogg to follow of cool testimonies!!
hahahaha
keep an eye open
those who have ears to hear let them hear

The ministry that I go to school at has this prayer line. Well actually it has this television program that gets aired around canada and USA and they have this number to call if anyone wants prayer. SO i help out with this every sunday and monday night. This entails me taking orders for people who want to buy product or make a donation, but the majority of the time people are calling in for prayer.

On this average monday night, i was on my way to the sheep shed and was listeing and singing some songs and felt in my spirit that something good was going to happen tonight. So my first call was this lady all confused about some prophetic word that she had received from a guest speaker at her gatherings that contradicted the word god spoke to her. so i ministered and prayed with her and blah blah blah. I found this rather intersting because that is the directin that god has been bringing me lately. And last week we had this guest speaker ...well we wont go there.....

But my next call was absolutly amazing! This husband and wife had called both looking for healing.  They were on two different phones so i could talk to them both. The husband had some skin desease...i dont know the details. And the wife had some problems with her heart i think. She said she would get this numbness in her arms and pain in her hands and that she had chest pains. I just assumed heart conditions. I just began to thank god for what he has done and spoke healing into their bodies. Nothing too complicated, just straight from the heart. After I asked if they were feling any different and asked them to do something they werent able to do before. Buddy was like " Whoa! my whole body is  tingling all over! It feels good!" And the wife said she was moving and waving her arms in such a way that it used to hurt when she did it before! I just started thanking and praising god and told them to do the same. Then shes like " I am getting really hot!" Maybe it was just mennapause, but i am certain it was Holy Spirit touching her because I was getting a little glory on me. She starts laughing and laughing meanwhile the husband is like whoa......WHOA!!!!! it feels so good all over!!! And I am cracking up laughing and God is just touching me too. A little while later buddy was like " I wanna buy some books or some teaching or sow a seed" I didnt wanna greive the spirit so i just said that i'd ake his adress and we'd mail him a product catalouge and put him on our mailing list. The wife is laughing and laughing and tries to give me the adress but mixes the numbers up and gives the wrong adress. The husband then churps in and says " NO NO NO thats the wrong adress" while shes just laughing there in the backround. So they will be getting some mail shortly, and i doubt thier lives will ever be the same again.....thanx to me............and NCC of course........and oh ya, Jesus too.

As Rolland Baker would say " God is one of the best God's around you know.... A particularly fine diety,"
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Praise God!!!

More Lord!!!
