First week

Sho, its been a week already... but it feel like forever...

So here is a short update...

On Wednesday Scott came and talked to us guys at the house... all of us are involved in Bethel... from first year, to interning... So Scott is the guy that does Bill Johnson's accounts, and contracts... he has no qualification, but started his own business when he was 12 years... a bike repair shop... and he has started many other businesses from there...

Man, he has so much revelation... he just speaks it... we were all bummed out... not able to ask him any questions... just because his revs are so hectic... and they are personal... everything about making your leaders look like a genius (serving them with who you are and your talent)... and how each person should stop living out of what is expected of them, and start living out of who they are already, and what they are gifted at, already...

He has this whole rev about Jacob's life, and how Jacob lived his destiny every day... not just one day... today is your destiny in seed form... and you have to be FAITHFUL with the little you have... your future is what you see today... just in a greater measure... hectic stuff...


Then on Saturday we went to The Call in Sacramento... were a whole crowd of people prayed from 9am to 9pm... and the stage had all the 'big shots' from all over America... These are the leaders and fathers of so many great ministries...

Lou Engel has such authority over his life for prayer... there was a moment were they talked about how rampant sex trafficking was in America, and they showed the clothes on stage of a little girl that was violated... just a few weeks ago... and she must have been just around 5 years old... it was a wake up call to the reality of sin that is happening around us...

In face of this all we could do is cry out to God to stop this from happening anymore... it was intense intersession... good, but intense... and then about an hour later we received a report that Craigslist (the major way of advertising anything in California) changed their policy on advertisements... and banned any adult content, because they did not want any involvement in allowing sex trafficking. What a testimony of the power of prayer !!!

We also heard about other prayer movements, and how the opening of prayer houses was linked to a drastic decrease in crime in cities... amazing testimonies to the power of prayer !!!

On another note, It seems like the first years have arrived :) and the church is jam packed... 800 first year students, and about 200 second year students... things are happening here...

side note: it is interesting to see that the leadership here is fully geared to empowering the people to do the ministry... even to the extent that they would not teach or preach, and let the people that cam to church pray to God, and pray for each other...

It is said that this revival is marked by people taking up the responsibility to do the work of God... Thus the testimonies does not come from the life of one man, but from many believers... living their everyday life :)

Feels like there are many mind sets that need to be turned around in my life... but all of it is for a greater life in God... so bring on the transformation :)
