On the Return

I'm back from another life transforming road trip. Some completely major breakthroughs in our students and even in my own life. I'll share a few amazing stories but before that happens, I just need to share something that I found on my return.
When I returned from this past roadtrip I found out that the immigration office has been messing around with us again. They are not very favourable towards us between the immigration officer is fairly hostile towards Christians. So after lots of trouble and consulting immigration lawyers and spending lots of money on my behalf, Dave (the director at our centre) has told me they are now claiming that I never handed in my Canadian police check, which my mom mailed me and I mailed in along with all my other visa application materials. Dave also testified to this as he was with me when I sent it. Now they are saying I have 28 days (now down to 20) to get another Canadian police check to them. Which takes at least 6 weeks, not to mention postage. So as you can see I need some prayer and perhaps we can see an amazing miracle here yet again. It really is a form of persecution and while having to endure the persecution, we already have the victory in Christ and nothing is impossible for God.

Having said that, I have three stories. And I share with you my experiences, not my theology or doctrine because thats not what I live for, I live for the truth and reality of a relationship with God. And this is what I have experienced in the last two weeks.
1) We had some teaching on evangelism by fire, from a speaker from the Niagra on the Lake area. He is a man who loves William Booth and is very inspired by Booths passion, he read a lot of Booth quotes actually. Anyway, he was speaking on how to reach post-modern people and new age spiritualists in Byron Bay, there is a LOT of demonic activity and spiritual warfare in Byron. New Agers want to EXPERIENCE the spiritual realm. So they get into a lot of dark spiritual activity. And when they see the power of God move, God is glorified and you can reach them. So we talked about healings and deliverances, and miracles that have happened in that city. And at one point he just talked about how speaking in tounges helps him connect to God in some instances in His own prayer time or in spiritual warfare.
One girl who didn't really believe in tounges and was very sceptical of it was put off by this lecture, but couldn't deny the speakers heart and love for God and experiences with God. So she just ignored it. Then the a couple days later during a small worship time when we were just singing some songs to a piano, God moved in her and she started to speak in tounges uncontrollably, she couldn't say a word in english. She went to talk to her mentor Rhoda and she couldn't even say Rhoda's name. All night and for some of the next morning, she could not speak english. Since then she has been so open to the spirit of God that she has grown exponentially and is now praying for others and seeing them set free. She is leading people into new places with God and its amazing.

I will write a couple more stories within the next couple of days. Because I know the longer these blogs get the less likely it is for people to read them, haha. I know from experience!

God Bless!
