A week ago...

One week ago I had the most amazing spiritual experiences of my life. It was totally amazing! And when I say amazing...I MEAN AMAZING! God answered every thing we were asking for during the FAST! AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!

Let me begin my story...
Ashley, Perry, Chanali and I went to Alabama to minister at a High School Camp there. The vast majority of the students and leaders of this camp, were skeptics or had no experience with demonic manifestations, spiritual warfare and/or the spiritual gifts. The first Day of the Camp and the Spirit moved, the alter was filled with kids crying out to God. Service ended up lasting late into the night.

 The second night a girl had an "asthma attack" while sitting down during worship. Her asthma attack actually served as a opening for a move of God, as the kids started praying for her and crying out to God. God started opening widows for healing, breaking of sin, and blessing to flow down!

During the third night something happens that starts to raise up our red flags. One of the leaders has a seizure, at the height of worship. A bunch of us go over to her to hold her legs and arms and also pray for her. The worship music continued to play blaring loud. Suddenly she starts kicking, and struggling with those holding her arms! Then she goes back into have the seizure. Later that night she shared with the group. She explained how she heard Josh Deter, Ryland Wilson, James Alexander and myself praying for her, while the seizure was going on. Now here the crazy thing...we were all praying under our breath or praying in our heads while her seizure was going on...and the music was blaring...she couldn't hear us with her natural ears if she tried! Service continues...this time a girl has a panic attack again at a peak in worship and can't calm down. More kids get delivered, another move of God happens.

By now red flags are going up for us four. This seems like something more than physical alignments or something triggered by emotional distress. And how could this young woman hear us praying for her.

That next day (Thursday) Ashley, Perry, Chanali, Jeremy, Ryland and myself pray over the campgrounds and over the area we are going to have our last and final service of the camp for a few hours. The service was to be held in a clearing in the middle of the woods. Ryland senses that we there will be spiritual warfare, and hears a word from God that there will be angels encamped around the area 20 feet in the woods. Worship starts very awkwardly, Grantland the worship leaders has lost his voice, and is struggling to project. Many of the campers aren't singing, instead just staring. After worship we take communion, and I start to preach. The message I planned to preach on that night was simple: The Disciplines and Discipleship. Who knew I wouldn't even get through the second point. I simple begin speaking about confession. I call the Youth pastors, leaders, and ministers to come up and ask them if anyone of them would like to share a time when they had to confess something. To my surprise every leader confesses something. Then I open an opportunity for the students to come up and confess to these leaders who have laid there hearts bare for them. Its a very moving time, as there are many tears shed as the students start bringing everything to the light. While the time of confession started dwindling down, I began to start to discuss another one of the disciplines when one of the boys starts dry heaving and then throwing up uncontrollably. I realize that he is purging, and share this with the kids. Then it gets worse his eyes change and he starts screaming and speaking in other voices. I stop speaking and go over to minister to him. Definitely a demon...actually 13 of them. That night 3 more kids manifested demons. Throwing up, kicking, punching, scratching, biting, screaming in multi voices and much more came out of these three. All of them had deep issues concerning family. Issues of abuse, abandonment, lost, repressed emotions and un-forgiveness. I had never witnessed that many demonic manifestation all at one time.

We were pressed to cast of demon, in the Name of Jesus Christ in the dark. There were only torches to provide light. With bible and flash lights we searched for scriptures dealing with the demons manifesting.  quickly moving from place to place barefoot, in the Spirit of Almighty God. I felt absolutely no fear. I've encountered demonic presences before, and they have freaked me out. But not this time. PERSONAL MINISTRY POWER. A boldness that only God gives. An intuneness that is only from Him. All four of us battled that night and the next day. Two out of the four delivered. The other two, we cast a bunch out but they still had open windows, and weren't filled with the spirit.

We prayed for it, and it was given. And that's not even the best part yet...because we haven't even gotten to Sunday yet!

Oh and I CANNOT FORGET! THE KEY INGREDIENT TO DEFEAT THE DEMONS! THE NAME OF JESUS. THE SCRIPTURE. THE BLOOD. AND LOVE!!! It was Love that broke their holds on the kids! A simple hug from a mother, a father. Them forgiving people that had done them so wrong. LOVE. Jesus is the Solution...and Love is the Means.

To be continued...

Love Is What's Missing Poster


Hey guys, this is the poster I made for my graphic arts class last year. It kinda fits in with Josh's theme. Love is what's missing so.....be love.

P.S. I miss yall!

Communion Cookout VIDEO

Post Fast

For a Post Fast eating schedule please look on page 26 in the SFJ packet.

June 1-4: Raw Fruit and Vegetable
June 5-6: Cooked vegetable (not fried) soup, beans
June 7-10:Bread, nuts, grain, carbs
June 10-13: Fish, seafood, cheese, sugar
June 14: Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Pork

In order to main a level of self-control while coming off the fast and moving into a fasted lifestyle. I would suggest deciding one thing that you will fast from for two months, right now. It could be fast food, or sweets...whatever it is fasting from something while coming off of the fast will help with maintaining a level of self-control and discipline. This could also go for faceboook, TV, movies, etc...

Also coming up with a Bible study plan is essential, if you are going to have a healthy intake of God Word. Make a plan, and even if you don't meet your goal you will still get a lot more accomplished then just winging it.

I have some questions for you and really NEED your input: 
Would you like to keep on meeting? 
Would you like to do more Starving For Jesus stuff? 
Give me your Feedback about the Fast. 
What could change? What was Good? What was UGLY
If you would be willing please write out any testimonies/dreams/artwork/experiences you had during this fast and post them or send them to me. 

We shall always be hungry for Jesus until He comes BACK!!

Thats when our hunger will be satisfied completely!!! We Jesus comes back Lift up your heads O Ye gates!!! That the King of Glory shall come in! Amen!

The DEVIL IS A LIAR!!! Jesus!!! I woke up this mornig nervous like… What is my purpose now?? Like what am I supposed to do. I was sad like now I had nothing to strive for you know nothing to work towards… then nervousness set in like I had NO power. LOL!! The enemy comes roaring like a Lion! Jesus But draw closer to God and He will draw closer to you. AMEN!! These two were placed in my Spirit


1 Peter 5:7-9 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

James 4: 7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you.

He will come roaring but JUST roaring because he has no Power!! the enemy has NO power!

We still have something to work for/towards the LORD!!! We still have power and there is NOTHING to be sad about. Still have a purpose Jesus!!! To be closer to Him and to HUNGER for Him. We will ALWAYS be hungry for Him until He comes BACK!!!

I love you all so much and yesterday was great!!! Dont let the enemy use you mind as a distraction either because he will. He will try EVERYTHING he can but we have been restored!! There is new life in the name of Jesus!


stay in your word. be alert!

this is just confirmation on top of more confirmation!

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns -- June 1, 2010:

I had a quick vision of a bird flying backwards, and the Lord said: Take care and be watchful so that current distractions don't cause you to lose ground spiritually. You will have to take a stand and make an effort to maintain the ground you have gained. Keep your perspective and refuse to allow the enemy to get you off track. Preserving what you have is easier than regaining what you once obtained but lost.

Jeremiah 3:22 "Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings." Indeed we do come to You, For You are the LORD our God.
