New School Soon


"Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one ever bothered to ask" - Billy Graham

Then Next DTS that I'm staffing here in Wollongong, starts on Monday, whichis coming at a rapid pace. As a staff, we've been praying for the students and have been praying about what each of us will impart individually into the school, and the students. Through my very recent experiences in Fiji, I've had a few revelations that I feel God is calling me to grow in and impart to the school. One of the things that god has been teaching me through my time in China and in Fiji is that where you set your hopes is where you end up going. I've used this on outreaches to get my heart right, by setting my hopes on the highest most impossible things I can imagine, and making that my goal for the outreach. But God has kind of shown me how that works in a new way through the crazy miracles I saw in Fiji.
I realized that the people who were on the IWT Teams had their hopes all the way into the impossible not just for shows, but for every prayer time, worship time, conversation, etc. I was really inspired by it, because I saw that God was faithful to meet every hope they had for the tour not just because they hoped for it, but because they stepped out in faith, laying it all on the line, knowing that God would show up. I realized that in my life God can do the supernatural in every single moment of my life if I would place that as my hope/goal, and step out in faith.
The second thing I realized from my experiences in Fii is that the more a person steps out, the more of themselves they lay on the line in faith, the more radically God moved. God has really put it on my heart to start living everyday with the hope of the dead being raised, the Blind and deaf healed, and over all God being glorified in everything I do. I know there are guys who see miracles weekly and who use the authority that was given to us by Jesus. All the authority in Heaven and on Earth. My heart's cry today is to have nothing ordinary about my life and walk with God, but to have it all be beyond the possible. And if that makes me look crazy to others, and even if this means I'm crazy, I'd rather be crazy and have a crazy life, than to be held back by fear in this short life. I'll let you know how it goes.

I think your goal is admirable, and reachable. God put that desire on your heart for a reason, and it is so cool how open you are to see miracles and "impossible" things happen. Keep it up! I couldn't be more proud of you and to be able to call you MY brother.
