DO NOT FEAR!
My friend: God has awesome plans for your life and you continue trusting Him to bring the reality into your world of what Jesus has done on the cross 2000 years ago.
When we are to be used by God, to bring the Supernatural Kingdom into the natural world – the devil sees us as a threat. He wants to get our eyes on other things. If he can get our eyes focused on natural stuff instead of THE POWER and LIFE of Jesus, he is winning.
Do not look with natural eyes. Look with Supernatural eyes.
God recently did so much in me and through me in Brazil. I saw God do so many miracles and God blasted me with His Holy Spirit.
One one of the first nights on the mission we prayed for a lady in Volta Redonda that had a painful arm and a cyst near her wrist. She was going to see a doctor shortly. We prayed and the power of God fell on the lady. She said the pain had gone.
This built our faith to see God make the cyst shrink, so we pressed in for a 100% miracle. After about 2 minutes of praying we looked and the cyst that had been very visible before, had shrunk. Although it was very clear the cyst had skrunk, I saw something small where it had been. Maybe it was just a mark on the skin where the cyst had been, I thought. My unbelief tried to tell me: ‘maybe the cyst had shrunk and not totally disappeared’. I asked the lady if it had gone and she said it had gone. PRAISE JESUS!
The next night we went to her church in Itatiaia and she gave her testimony. Since that time I was determined to press in for 100% healing when I prayed for people.
The devil had put a lot of things across my path before I left to go to Brazil – to try get my eyes off focus. He knew what God would do through me to destroy the kingdom of darkness and to advance the Kingdom of Jesus.
Remember the stuff that comes across your path may not be bad – it may be ‘good’ stuff, but if it is not ‘God’ stuff for your life, it will not bear fruit!
Communidade Zona Sul. Some of the English Translation team and others...
That night before the mission trip started in Brazil, I went to Communidade Zona Sul church in Rio and the pastor preached. Although it was in Portuguese, a friend translated some and it was a direct word to me to do what is right and to focus and pursue God. Even after I returned from Brazil, there were things that tried to get my ‘God’ focus off track.
It is not easy when something flies in front and center of your mind at 100 miles and hour. Maybe it’s a worry, maybe it’s a natural desire, maybe it’s a symptom of sickness.
We have only one choice: To stay focused on what God says and to TRUST in that. It is our only LIFELINE!
God wants to and WILL use you, but you cannot let circumstances, or the devil come at you to try get you off focus. The devil will try, because he knows you are a threat, but He is POWERLESS as you TRUST in Jesus.
Everything will come right as you trust/have faith in Jesus. Let go of your own desires and BREATHE in Jesus.
You need to keep those eyes focused on Jesus, the Beginner and the Finisher of your faith. You are an OVER-COMER in Him.
Tonight I was watching part of a Youth Power Invasion DVD from 2009 and there was a lady that had been at an event in about 2005 that was struggling to have a baby. She had got a word from God that she would a boy and girl. In 2009 she came to give a testimony about God’s miracle baby boy that had been born. God had blessed her with a handsome son.
Remember that when Satan comes in like a flood – God will raise His flag. The devil is coming at you because He sees you as a threat – and you are! Because of Jesus in YOU. The Power of the risen Lord lives in you! Don’t let your heart be troubled, Don’t let it be afraid!
Your life in not too messed up – EVER – for God to use. NOW is the time to give you life over to HIM -TOTALLY SURRENDERED, and walk in His power!
You will see the healing and saving power of Christ flow through your life!
Keep Trusting and Keep Faith!

Wow! I felt blessed despite of the circumstances I’ve been going through. This testimony was very timely =)
Yes we are victorious through Christ Jesus! And amen it’s true whenever we go extra mile and do a lot more things for God we are the devil’s target. He will do everything just to stop us and discourage us. But then we have to be reminded to what the bible says. We are hard pressed but not crushed, persecuted but not abandoned, stricken down but not destroyed.
Thank you my brother in Christ! We are to edify one another and truly God just used you to minister to me this very moment.
