******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******
HEY HOWS IT GOING? Okay Neat-o. You know what folks… it's been 3 weeks since the last time I shared any testimonies with you all. I've been busy in my own little world and know its time spill the beans. Some of these testimonies are from the past 3 or 4 weeks and sometimes I forget to share these. Either way, one of these testimonies will ring true to you.
PRAISE GOD! I'm so excited about what The Big Chief is doing in my life through the band I'm in. The band I play in is called "Your Pain My Victory" and it's a Spirit filled hardcore band. Everyone who is in our band attends Family Christian Center, which is a very supportive church in line of ministering through music. One of the many things I do for the band is the writing of the Lyrics. The Spirit of God is always having me write hymns for this generation. One song that I wrote and is part of our set list is a song called "My Oath". The song is up on our myspace and the feed back is really EXCITING. For us as members of the band, it's a song that keeps us in check. The song My Oath is about being a Christian and living a life of Purity and knowing your status as a vessel for the Lord. It's really cool to see how that song is making an impacting even before we start doing shows. Here are the lyrics to the song…
MY OATH
MY BODY IS A TEMPEL.
HOME TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD
I'M NOT A TRASHCAN!
JUST A VESSEL WITH A PLAN.
DRUG FREE, LIQUOR FREE, PORN FREE, KEEP IT POSI FOR J.C.

MORE TESTIMONIES à
This one is a bit old, but here's the follow up.
On Mothers, my Mom told me about this guy I prayed for before I left Department of Justice. He was in way good health, lost quite a bit of weight and is happier today than ever before. All because of his hunger for a healing touch from God. To complete the story… My last week at D.O.J. before RCSSM started. I posted a flyer all over the building about me leaving and at the bottom of the flyer it read: "If you need prayer come see me. If you have cancer or a incurable disease, come see me for a healing". The day before I leave this, guy sees my flyer and touches it and feels warmth go throughout his whole body. Then he feels compelled to meet me before I leave for the day. This guy walks into the mailroom five minutes before we leave for the day. He tells he touched my flyer and felt warmth go through his body instantly. He begins to tell me he has a tumor inside his brain and it's growing and there is no cure what so ever. He tells me he's the bread winner of his family and if he dies, who will provide? He asks for me pray for him now. I pray for him, then I realize something and I share it with him. I told him you mighty already be healed… You touched my flyer and felt warmth throughout your whole body. I begin to tell him about warmth being a sign of the Spirit of God moving. I told him to keep in touch with my Mom on your health. PRAISE GOD, he is do way better and I really do believe he is 100% HEALED!
NEXT TESTIMONY à
For the record I wish Myspace didn't exist, but God is using it for good. I've been on Myspace for about 4 years now. Umm I came at this fork in the road kind of thought. I don't want Myspace any more! But I really felt like I was on it to minister to kids. So, I keep my account. Since then I have Ministered, Prayed, Kept Others Accountable, and just Loved The Hated. Three weeks ago some random kid who lives in Sacramento, found my Myspace page and read everything I have on it. I have testimonies, stories, music and a whole bunch of other stuff. Any who this kid said that my Myspace page touched him and that he recommitted his live to the lord. Speechless, I have no words to say. That's amazing! He lost a friend and blamed the death on God, but came across my Myspace and wants to invite God back into his life. Crazy stuff folks.
CHECK THIS OUT à
I was reading Genesis and I come across this scripture.
Genesis 1:4 - God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
There's a double meaning in that scripture. "He separated the light from the darkness." The other meaning I got beside the creation part was that God is different than Satan. God is Light and Satan is Darkness. I didn't exegete this scripture, but I'm for sure right on about this. No I'm not saying that nighttime is evil, I'm saying darkness isn't the trait of God.
TESTIMONY FROM ME, BLESSING TO THEE à
My friend Davey attends the Friends Church in Citrus Heights. They're a Quaker Church, if you know the Holy Spirit then cool. Because they really don't help grasp, that you can have gifts through Gods Spirit. A couple of weeks ago Davey asked me about Healing. He's heard me speak of it with his brother and with Matt Campbell. Davey told me he prays for people yet never sees them healed. I begin to share with him what Bill & Carol Dew teach and also what God has shown me, in my own techniques. I also told him about the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the form of Warmth. Okay so today we where talking about the book of Acts, which is where his interest in the healing and the Holy Spirit came from. He told me about Paul blessing a handkerchief and it brought healing. Acts 19"11 & 12 - God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. He remarked about how the warmth thing was related to the handkerchief. Tomorrow at lunch, I'm meeting up with him and I'm gonna impart the healing anointing that God gave me and share it with him. HAHAHA, he's gone be one wild Quaker!
FAMILY TESTIMONY à
My Cousin Derek is 19 years old and lives in Citrus Heights. I now that he is saved because I have seen his bible and there is a date of salvation in it. He really looks up too me, I was the one that inspired him to play Drums. Will with him hanging out with me since moving back to the suburbs. I really think he sees that I'm who I say I am. There's Christian in our family, but they're caught up in Religion. Too me Religion looks like a giant turd. Derek has been to some shows with me and he's seen me minister to people. I know for a fact he sees a different side of God, when he is around me or my friends. This kid isn't stupid, he sees reality verses religion. While ago he was at Club Retro with me and he made some kind of comment to Robert? Something about when he opens his guitar case the presents of God is unleashed. Where did my cousin get that from, that's like way cool. Robert comes up to me and asks if Derek is a Christian? I was like, he's saved but doesn't walk in it. Then Robert tells me what he said and I was like what? It was a bit odd, to hear that. Okay so I haven't seen Derek since Mothers Day. Were hanging out in my van trying to figure out what to get for lunch. Were playing catch up, you know talking. Derek then tells me I've been praying for you since you got that spider bite. I was shocked! He told me that he's been praying a lot for people. HA, I inspired him to Pray. What's nexted, craving animals out of soap? I really don't do that! It's really cool to hear that, but I want to see it. The whole reason I wanted him to get involved with Club Retro is that he sees that my church is a safe place. I would love for him to come on a Wednesday night and get touched by the Holy Spirit. But only time will tell. Derek has a good head on his shoulders and knows what's up. We serve a BIG God and all he's encounter is nothing compared to what can really do through him.
PRAYER REQUEST à
I was just informed on Thursday that my job is cutting my hours, due to the budget. I will lose on average 32 hours a month, which is a 50% cut in my pay. May I remind you I took a 50% cut in pay when I left D.O.J. to attend the School of Ministry. I know God gave me this job I have for a reason. Why can't the Lame-o people we have in power over our state, get our budget fixed? I'm more hurt than pissed off. How am I gonna pay for freaking GAS? God needs to step in and open up a can of whoop-ass. I did turn in two different applications for Ace hardware and have heard nothing. Please pray that I can find another part-time morning job on top of this state job. Something that is for sure flexible and pays okay. Even though I'm close to being broke, I did get money for my birthday which for the first time in a while, I'm excited about tithing on Sunday. Our crappy economy needs a miracle and where not gonna find from someone in office. No sir, this miracle comes from above. FAITH IN GOD, NOT FAITH IN GOVERNMENT!
HEAL TESTIMONY à
The night Club Retro was hosting the Demon Hunter show, I saw a kid outside before the show ended. He was limping. I asked if I could pray for his right knee. Ha, he remembered me from Sparkstarter. I prayed for him and asked how it felt. He moved it and said, "Yep I can walk" and left. No big display, Fireworks, Clowns on Unicycles, Publishers Clear House with a giant check with balloons, Ronald Mc Donald and The Fry Kids, Rip Taylor throwing confetti or even E.T. Phoning Home. It was just that simple and no reaction. I was like, wow that was really quick.
Get along little doggie,
