Beautiful Things

My eyes have been opening to so much goodness.  Last week Randy Clark with Global Awakening, spoke at our school and held his healing conference in Redding.

Randy gave two messages back to back. The first message, he discussed the miraculous healings he had seen in his life, the small beginnings he came from, where he prayed for over 1,000 people before he had actually witnessed one healing, and he also provided the students some principals to help us recognize the presence of God in a room and what He is doing in the atmosphere.

The second message, Randy shared stories with us about all the healings he wished would’ve happened and they didn’t. He asked us how do you reconcile that with the Lord? You believe whole-heartedly that His heart is to always heal, but then it doesn’t happen? People he really wanted to see healed and they just weren’t.  In a way I felt comforted by this message. When you know of others who’ve tried for healing and it hasn’t happened, but they still keep pressing in, and believe God is sovereign it makes me want to keep pressing in too.

I started working the healing rooms at Bethel this past Saturday. This whole idea of actually believing God can do physical miracles (healing broken bones, watching limbs grow out, cancer disappearing, metal in bodies disappearing etc.) is VERY new to me. Naturally, I was a little hesitant but also SUPER excited and expectant to see what ACTUALLY can happen! I asked the Lord to show off and blow my mindset out of the water.  He DEFINITELY did! The first woman in her mid 50’s could barely walk. I had to grab her hand and walk her over to stand with us, as I was walking with her I heard "she carries great authority". The woman had herpes, her blisters traveled down the back of her legs.  She also had bad knees where she couldn’t walk very well, let alone run, or kneel.  I watched as her blisters disappeared, she started laughing-crying-jumping up and down. Then she realized she was jumping up and down, so she started running up and down the hallway, and then she knelt down beside a chair and began bawling. I was just taking this all in, shocked that this happened right before my eyes, glad to see this woman so happy, and exhausted because my mind was just blown away haha.

Needless to say God is SO real and wow He’s good.
