Second

My time in Sao Paulo is drawing to an end. One more week in this community. We'll be wrapping up all the ministries here that we have here and saying our good-byes to the friends we've made here. Crazy stuff as I remember the Lord's faithfulness to us and me. He worked in crazy ways. Last posted I mentioned the team went on a fast and walked out Isaiah 58 or 48... But it was nuts. We saw hearts healed as we walked around with a sign with a cheesy statement saying, "free prayer."A lady invited us to come and the girls stayed with her for at least half an hour sharing with her the gospel and seeing her heart and life restored. The boys and I wandered off and four hungry women in a hairdresser asked us to come and we prayed to and prophesied over them. The next day, we visited this guy's house who used to come to the church we were a part of. He was disabled from the waist down as he got into a bad accident when he was dancing. He basically gave up on life and refused to eat. As we entered the house, our team had no doubt in our hearts that we were going to see his guy restored and even walk out of the room. He didn't walk out of the room, but it didn't matter. Well, to me it didn't. I realised the results didn't matter to me anymore and the only thing that mattered was that I had the faith and that I loved Jesus. We broke the fast and it was glorious.

The Lord has also led half of the team to go to a Dutch community. They're there right now and probably blowing it up. While they were gone, we've been meeting up with a demon-possessed guy. Doctors would say he's a schizophrenic. As soon as we met him, we felt the Lord was going to free this man. We're fasting and praying, and going tomorrow to set him free. Oh yeah.

Man, I just love the Lord. In the past few days, he's really put intercession on my heart. I guess it was an area, I lacked in almost? I rarely prayed for other things. But as we press in as a team and intercede for things like the youth and missionaries in Brazil, other outreach teams, I just FEEL it. Jesus just gives me a crazy heart for the things I pray for. Cool! Smith Wigglesworth said that, "I rarely pray longer than a half hour at a time - but I never go a half hour without praying."Challenged me.

Basically, Jesus has radically increased my faith and I just love Him!
