fourth week

Hey guys!

It's already been 3 weeks since I've been here and every week, the Holy Spirit has been manifesting itself in so many cool ways. Things I've only heard of before that I haven't witnessed first hand have happened so much. Bunch of healings, many complex prophesies that confirm each other, demons being casted out, Benny Hinn kind of things where people fall backward...

About two weeks ago, Mark Anderson came to speak for us for a week. He's the president of Call2All. When he came, we had a worship service where he would walk around praying for people. When we were all praying and when I had my eyes closed, all of a sudden I heard a girl screaming hecka loud and she started crying. It kind of freaked me out although it was just the Holy Spirit doing something cool. Then I saw him approach me and my heart began to pump hard. Before he came, other people were praying for me so that the Holy Spirit would manifest in me in some way, either tongue or in other way, but nothing happened. When Mark Anderson came, he prayed for me and that my mind would be clear. Then all of a sudden, every time he pointed at my chest saying, "Holy Spirit, Come!" my body started to feel more numb. It was to the point where i couldn't feel my legs that when he pushed me backward slightly and i didn't know I was losing balance. I wasn't knocked down to the floor, but I fell backward with my body feeling very very numb and electrified.

I thought that was the coolest it was going to get. But this past week (week 3), Kristen Williams from New Zealand came. On the first day, he said "I feel like God is telling me there's going to be something very special for the people I'm about the name. Jonathan, Daniel...." When he said Daniel, I almost fell backward from my chair (not really) but I was that shocked. I had this deepppppp feeling in me that he was talking about me. He said people with those names to talk to him after, and the next day he brought us up in front of about 250 DTS people. He prophesied for me which was confirming to other visions people got for me.

Then toward the end of 3rd week, when we were all worshiping, I heard a demonic scream coming from the back. A student who wanted to leave here for so long, and decided to leave that day, had a demon cast out of him. It didn't leave for about 10-15 minutes and people were praying for him in the back. Hearing such evil/demonic screaming confirmed there must be something that is really pure, holy and strong enough to chase the evil away.

I think it'll be cool if more people came to DTS. I'm not saying DTS is the only way to grow closer to God, but it is like a boot camp for Christians where people grow stronger in their faith quicker than usual. Some people here have actual conversations with God, not only through Bible but internal voices in their head.

I also found out what countries I'll be going to for outreach. 1.5 months in Philippines and 1.5 months in Singapore. There's going to be a big Christian convention in Philippines called Impact World Tour, and my outreach group will be staffing there. It's going to be exciting!
