[revival-fire] get clean but not sober ;)

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

What I mean by "get clean but not sober" is~ I finally got clean and realized God I CAN'T do it by myself   (life/inner issues/battles/single motherhood/business owner/work/school/ministry/relationships/etc./etc./etc..........) and what I could do I couldn't do sober (need joy/presence/Holy spirit/etc.........)   He's showing me again why I am still in the housecleaning business (to pave the way and allow God to clean things up) The business itself has changed alot lately to where I only have a few long time clients that I do on a regular basis and the rest are move-outs (God still moves here as I pray for the nasty spirits that are left to be gone and have a fresh/clean/annointed house when I/we are done. It's been good not to mention the overwhelming amount of work He has provided for me and my business where others have little or none. thank you God!   So last week Margariet and I were at a client named Betsy (sweet,overwhelmed,ultimate super mom) and she came home (unusual) and she told us of her purse being stolen and how she had injured her neck because she chased after the women and hopped in their van and the dragged her a lil ways....So I said before we go let's pray....we did she completely relaxed (was very uptight!) This is a woman who graduated Bethany college years ago and now rarely mentions God, but I beleive our presence and seed planting may spark some new faith!!!!   Also, today Shawna and I were cleaning another regular and I looked out the window and saw the neighbor who I had cleaned her house one time 6 months ago.  I went out to say hi and see if she wanted her key back. She told me she had surgery (this is a woman that does not look like a woman because of the hormones and lifestyle she choses)  and that she didn't feel any better.  I got some words of knowledge and was able to speak life into her but I didn't pray (even though I'm in school, at church yayayya I still have a hard time praying for people) so I didn't............ When I went back inside I knew it was wrong and I went back next door.   She (Cavi) answered and I just said can I lay my hand on your neck and pray for you?  She said aw, yeah.....instantly I felt heat before my words came out! God's Just waiting for the vessel!  This very manly, tough woman became a little crying girl before the Lord. We broke off all sorts of things/spirits/bondages and blessed her.  I felt this HUGE wall break that was in between Cavi and Jesus.  She just cried and hugged me, let go, hugged and wouldn't let go etc.....she was so thankful and so touched I counldn't believe I almost missed it.   I was so excited and sedated by the Holy Spirit that I forgot to ask if she felt better, but she was freely moving about where she wasn't before.....I get to go back in a week and I'm gonna show her how to really take a drink~   I get scared too, I could get punched, laughed at, lose my clients, which I have lost them because of religion and one from an insanely accurate prophetic word that freaked her out.. etc......but what's that compared to seeing a manifestation of God's glory actually glowing on their face?  And hearts turning to God, maybe Cavi will get God so much she turns her girlfriend Stella to God!  haha ya!   One of the biggest lies I battle with is God only using me if Im doing good or feeling good last week was a rough one and my character constantly being tested but he still uses me ~   be willing~be ready no matter what the devil hates you, but be on the winning team!   JUST DO IT!   HAPPY THANKSGIVING!   Melinda Mead RCSM 2nd year Family Christian Center Orangevale, CA
