Great Quote

I watched the movie Coach Carter this past weekend, GREAT movie I HIGHLY reccommend it!  This is a quote from that movie, it just hit me for some reason. I've never thought about having a fear of success, however, I definitely saw areas where I've shrunk back in fear thinking that this was "humility". That is a false sense of humility.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson

Testimony Time!!

PRAISE JESUS!!!

Last night as I was getting ready to head to bed I started thinking about the missions trip to Israel. I felt like it just hit me for the first time, "How is this actually going to work out?" I need a LARGE sum of money in 4 days...for the first time the fear of not being able to go actually set in. I started to feel this reality, but I chose not to let it get me down.  I knew God heard my heart in that moment and He reminded me He is Jehova Jireh, my provider.  I was completely okay with whatever happened and let it go.

This morning I came into work, checked my email and saw that someone posted an anonymous payment of the EXACT amount needed, $1,495.00!!! We've learned at school that our words create worlds and testimonies literally release mercy to do it again, so anyone in need of breakthrough reading this, Lord just give them their breakthrough!

Your Love Language

Words of Affirmation

Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

A New Adventure

Last Saturday I  got a chance to go rock climbing with some friends. There are some good climbing rocks near Burney Falls in the mountains. It was my first time EVER climbing any kind of rock! I was SUPER excited and to be honest, I thought it was going to be fun and easy.

As I got strapped in and stood at the base of the rock, I  literally had no clue what to do. I started to try to climb, but it felt so weird and unnatural, as if I were going to fall off. I literally couldn't do it. I went to go watch some other peeps to see how they did it, once I saw how it could be done I took off! Like Spiderlady! We climbed both sides of the rock, each about mid-level climbs, and about 50ft. high.  It was the best feeling in the world to climb the face of a rock, and not fall! I hit the top on both sides, then was reeled back down. I can see why people love rock climbing, there are SO many spiritual parallels you can draw from it. There were so many instances where I could've let fear overtake me, my legs even began shaking uncontrollably, however, with the encouragement of the people belaying I was able to find the strength to push through, grab on to the tiniest piece of rock and pull higher and higher! Once you hit the top its a beautiful view over the tops of trees!

My friend Wendee took me and sent some pics, heres what it looked like! SUPER FUN I CANNOT WAIT TO GO AGAIN!

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.

This is the view from my office window today, loving the snowcapped mountains I mean come on people!

Please Help Me Fundraise for Israel

“Give Him no rest until He makes Jerusalem a Praise in all the earth.” Isaiah 62:7

I was chosen to go with a team of 20 students to Israel, 
March 21-April 5. We will partner with ministries in Mt. Carmel, Galilee, Ariel, and Jerusalem.

We will hold a Healing School in Jerusalem, minister in an orphanage and youth center, reach out to 
young adults and soldiers, as well as schools, congregations, and holocaust survivors. Israeli believers 
are excited about our coming to partner with them. Last year the team saw many miracles and trained 
many believers to do the same. They saw 45+ people healed on the streets of Tel Aviv in 3 hours.

I am very excited about this trip and want to give you an opportunity to partner with me to bring the love 
of God to the Jews and Arabs in Israel. In I Samuel 30:24 David declares the spoils are shared alike for those who go to 
battle and those who stay. I look forward to releasing God’s Love & Glory in Israel this spring.

I believe the Lord wants me to be on this team and would like to invite you to partner with me in prayer 
and financially as the Lord directs you. We want Israel to come into her destiny. I need $3775 to go to Israel. Thanks so everyone who has given so far, we've been able to raise $1520.  

If 100 people give $20, or 200 give $10, then I will have enough to go!   My 2nd payment of $1700 is due January 17th. I just need $180 by Jan 17th.The promise is that Jerusalem will be a praise on the 
earth! Let us call in this promise for this generation! It is easy to give through online giving.

All gifts are tax deductible for the Israel Trip. Financial gifts may be made online at www.ibssm.org 
Click “Give Online” at the bottom of the page. Just follow the instructions and be sure to mark Israel Trip for my name on it. (If you wish your gift to be 
anonymous, please check the anonymous box. This will allow you to receive an end of year statement, but will not 
allow the student to see your name.) This gift is non-refundable and will be used for my missions trip.

If online payment is not an option, donations can be mailed to: Bethel Church, Attn: Bethel International, 
933 College View Dr., Redding, CA 96003 and write “Israel Trip Nicole Andre”.

Watch the video to see what kinds of things I get to do over in Israel.  

Thank you for your interest, partnership, prayers, and loving support. “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, 
may they prosper who love you.” Psalm 122:6 “All Israel will be saved as promised.” Romans 11:26

 May the Lord bless you and cause His Face to Shine upon you so you will prosper in all your ways!

Great Grace & Joyyyy!!
