My college group isn’t that big. As a matter fact it’s pretty small. We have about 30-40+ people. Our Tuesday night’s pretty basic and generic. We get together, we worship, have food, our pastor preach and then we hang out. That’s what we always do. That’s the typical Tuesday Night for us.
Well, that changed last night. My college pastor and I had a talk about how we’re going to change the direction of our college group. We are going to change the ‘mission’ of our group and why we exist. We want to be missional & intentional. We don’t just want to hang out or serve at our local church, but we wanna be THE CHURCH and serve outside our local church and love on people.
So last night we split up into groups. The agenda is to go out, go to different places, love on people, pray for them, buy them food and just simply love on them. I had 4 more people with me. So we went to downtown and just sought and looked for opportunities to bless and love on people. Here’s what happened.
1. Maggie and Addy - They were sitting outside at a small yogurt place. We approached them, got to know them and offered to buy them anything, or pray for them. They were shocked and surprised how kind and loving we were to them.
2. Connie - Saw her outside Ross store. Prayed for her life and family.
3. James - Ran into an old boss of mine. Prayed for him while he was inside the car parked.
4. We went inside a local drugstore. Got inline and paid for someone’s stuff behind me. As well as my other group too. I prayed for this girl and for her colds to go away!
5. Kimberly - Ran into an old HS classmate of mine at Starbucks. She was studying for a test. She told me she was not sure of her future and what she wants to do. Prayed for her study time and for God’s will to unfold in her life.
6. AJ & Sandra - 2 good friends of mine I ran into outside Starbucks. i told them what my group and I were doing. I prayed for them and they prayed for our group as well.
7. Creol - Immediately after my friend AJ prayed for us, this guy Creol came out of nowhere. Long story short, this guy at first seemed to be talking like as if he’s a christian but he wasn’t. He had a different spirit in him. I prayed for him and he prayed for me. His prayer was so long that my buddy AJ had to cut him. Later on my friend told me that he discerned that this guy Creol doesn’t have the Spirit of God in him!
Crazy night I know! And get this, after that we went back to my pastor’s house and we heard crazy stories of how some of my friends prayed for healing and all that! What?!?!?
God you’re amazing! Thanks for moving in my group last night! This is just the beginning of a movement that will continue, build, and will crush satan and his minions! This movement will serve as a catalyst in our local church and will spread into our community! MORE LORD! WE WANT MORE!!! :)

I went to our local coffee shop and decided to do my study there. Right off the bat, as soon as I walked in, I saw a man with an ankle/leg brace. I knew I had to pray for this man. After I got my stuff down to my table. I approached him, introduced myself and asked for his name and what happened to his ankle/leg. He said he went on a ski trip and broke his ankle. I offered to pray and he allowed me to pray for him.
After praying, I asked if he felt anything on his ankle. “Yeah, I did. I felt heat on my ankle. Thanks so much for praying.” After he said that, I didn’t feel like praying for it for the 2nd time. I blessed him and went to my seat.
God used me again to pray for my friends at church. Before bible study, one of my friends arm was hurting. She said they were feeling numb and tight and weak. I prayed for her and she got healed. After bible study, another friend of mine asked if I could pray for his knee because he has tendonitis. It took 2-3 repeats of prayers before he felt complet healing. He bent his knees and did some stretching that would normally hurt his knees, but now it’s not hurting and the tendons are completely heal!
God can use you in ways like this too. If you want, just say this simple prayer.
“God, use me today. In Jesus name, Amen!”
Watch and see what happens :)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/15e1cdf8bdfad5affd5989d13d70c8f5/tumblr_mmhjy0Wkh31r3vt08o1_400.png)

God’s been so faithful to me over these past 2 months by not only giving me opportunities to minister to people, but also allowing other people at my church to be encouraged by what He’s doing through me which in result these people would bring other people that they know who needs physical healing and let me pray for them. Which then results to more spreading of what God’s doing through me. But I always encourage those people whom the Lord healed to also pray for people because they have Christ in them, the hope of glory.
Yesterday my friend Brittany brought her friend Ruth to me. Ruth has a unique condition. She doesn’t know what kind of physical pain she has and even the doctors couldn’t figure it out. So I asked her couple questions and I just started praying for her. She also told me her Neck, shoulder and her back hurts from time to time. But before praying for her the 2nd time, she said, “do you think Jesus would heal someone like me who has so many emotional and spiritual bagages?” I simply said, “Ofcourse. Jesus loves you so much!” So I prayed and the Lord healed her on the spot.
I began to prophecy over her life and what she’s going through and tears began to stream down her cheeks and she started weeping. She wanted to get right with God and so she confessed all sins, doubts and fears that’s still dragging her down. After praying, I saw a different person. I saw a daughter who is now resting in the arms of her Father.
After that, another friend of Brittany needed prayer for physical healing. Sandy has a multiple sclerosis (MS) and it’s causing the right side of her body to be weak, and her hands gets numbness from time to time. I began to pray for her and I don’t remember exactly what I said but next thing I know I saw tears streaming down her face. So after praying I asked her to stand and walk around and do certain movement that she couldn’t do before. And she did. She felt better, she felt more alive and more energized. She was able to do certain movements that she couldn’t do before. I’m not sure if she was fully healed since it’s hard to say because MS is a brain and spinal issue, but one thing I know is that she felt A LOT better and much reliefed after praying. God is healing her now as I type this. And Jesus was glorified!
And then my last encounter yesterday was with my good friend Sam. I gave him a support letter and told him about my upcoming mission’s trip to Brazil. I told him how I’m going to be trained and equipped to walk in the supernatural gifts especially healing. He immediately mentioned that his back was hurting, especially the ‘L5’. Idk what the heck is that but I prayed for him. haha! The Lord healed his back completely on the spot and this morning I got a message from him saying, “My back feels so much better. And I’m ready to go back to the gym!”
If I can sum up what happened to me yesterday, it’s this line right here from Brooke Fraser’s song, “You’ll come”
‘Chains be broken. Lives be healed. Eyes be open. Christ is revealed!”
This is the reason why I do what I do. Why I take risk, why I pray for people. In the process of walking in the supernatural gifts especially healing, peoples lives are change, chains in their lives are broken, their hearts and their bodys are healed and restored and their eyes begin to open and see that Christ is who he says he is, and that he is the Hope of Glory!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/7742c93259b878c5a6ae86e75576602d/tumblr_mme82uAPEb1r3vt08o1_500.png)

After church I woman approached me and asked me if I can pray for her and I did. After praying for her we just kinda started talking about her life and other stuff. I begin to scan my eyes around the room and found 3 older women sitting on the other side of the room. God gave me a ‘Word of Knowledge’ about those 3 women. I got the word ‘Pain’. As soon as I got this, I excused myself from the woman that I was talking to and I told her I need to go and pray with those ladies.
I approached them and I said, “Hey, I was standing over there talking with another woman when God gave me a ‘Word of Knowledge’ about you ladies. Either all of you, or someone here is in some sort of ‘pain’. Sure enough Susan has knee problems, Linda has hypertension, and Rose is going through some painful stuff with her family.
I prayed for them individually for all their needs. For Susan and Linda, I prayed physical healing over their bodies and for Rose, I prayed emotional healing over her heart. All 3 of them were encouraged and God is magnified through that. Sometimes we don’t need to look further to find opportunities to love on people. A lot of times God will highlight people within our reach whom He wants us to minister to, all we need to do is ask him, listen to him, and obey him. Be willing and be ready to love others when He highlights people to us.
Lord, thank you for increasing my faith in you. Thank you for giving me the boldness to always ask them and confirm the ‘Word of Knowledge’ that you’ve allowed me to operate. Holy Spirit, thank you for the gifts that you’ve allowed to operate in my life. I pray and ask for more! For the glory of the Father and the Son and for the benefit of all peoples and for the joy of my heart. In Jesus name, Amen!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/d2e805802db21535fcda88d99eb8c24f/tumblr_mm06gtTHmz1r3vt08o1_500.png)
![[RISK NO. 64]Before band practice, I had a quick chat with our piano/vocalist player Sarah. We were just talking about random stuff. I asked how she’s doing and all that. I love when people ‘complain’ about their pain in their body. Why? because it gives me the opportunity to pray for them and to encourage them to do the same things that I’m doing.
She mentioned that her neck was really stiff and that there’s just a lof of tensions going on. So I asked, “Can I pray for your Neck? Trust me it’ll be gone right away!” Without hesitation she responded with a quick “YES!”. So I leaned over, laid my hands on her neck and it took me at least 5 secs to pray and commanded the muscles to loosen up and for the tensions to be released and for the neck to be relaxed. After praying I asked if she feels any better. And she said, “I actually do! I felt immediate release of tensions, my neck is completely relaxed! I felt tingling too! Thank you so much!” And I always say, “It’s not me, it’s Jesus!”
She told me that she’s heard stories from people about what God’s doing in my life and the whole healing thing! I had the opportunity to encourage her to walk in that same boldness because really, it’s not ‘me’ who’s doing the miracle work but It’s Christ in me!
Jesus thank you for sweet and simple act of grace through healing. Thank you for allowing me to minister to my friend Sarah tonight even in the smallest and simplest way but yet made a huge impact on her faith. I pray that you just continue to stir in her heart that desire to see others come to know you and that you would increase her faith in you daily. In your name Jesus I pray, Amen!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/e61f71a6cbd5c5fd2b67880a4506ce1f/tumblr_mm05r4RDSU1r3vt08o1_500.png)

This my big brother “Kuya” in Christ, Elmer. We were at church today and he mentioned that he has Edema. I said “that’s going to be gone today. Jesus is going to heal you!” - So I prayed, commanded the Edema to leave his leg and for the swelling to go down and then he said “Wow. This is weird. There’s this tingling that’s beginning to creep from my foot all the way up to my ankles!” I told him Jesus’ power is working on it now! He couldn’t stand up because that “electricity” was still there and climbing all the way up to his calves. An hour later we checked his legs. Swelling went down. Not just that he was able to remove his foot from his shoes without untie-ing it! Edema got nothing on Jesus man. Edema lost, Jesus wins. He is glorified!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/78b934b68c310dae596bfd2176469c9c/tumblr_mlzk2xxfEg1r3vt08o1_500.jpg)

I don’t know exactly how to to begin this post. But lately God has just been moving in my life so swiftly and he’s just been using me in so many crazy ways! He’s teaching me a lot about Gifts I’ve just been walking in the other Gifts of the Spirit!
[Risk No. 60] - Today I went to my buddy’s school and I had the opportunity to sit in one of his classes called ‘Christian apologetics.’ The professor/pastor’s name’s Joey. He was really nice and very smart. Towards the end of the class God gave me this word about him and his current ‘lovelife.’
This was new to me since I don’t really operate much on the gift of Word of Knowledge or give a prophetic word, but today I guess you could say, God unlocked those gifts! Even though I had the word I was still a lil bit nervous if I should tell him but God kept telling me to ‘Go!’ After class I went up to him and said, ‘Hey Joey, I really enjoyed your class. I learned a lot. I have to tell you something. God gave me a word about you and he told me to encourage you by saying you should just trust him and don’t worry because he is preparing her for you. Did that made any sense to you?” and he responds by saying, “Actually it does. I’m dating this girl for 3 years now and I plan on marrying this girl but not sure if I should because I have doubts. But because of what the Lord has shown you, I’m receiving it all with grace. So thank you!” I was so happy and prayed for him, blessed him and just encouraged him!
[Risk No. 61] - I went to the bank today to make a quick deposit. Sandy saw me walked in and asked me if I needed help and I told her that I just wanna make a quick deposit. She gladly led me to her window and helped me. I handed the money and when I looked at her I heard in my heart that she suffers from having daily migraines. When she gave me my receipt I quickly asked, “Hey this is random but do you have migraine?’ “actually I do! How’d you know!?” I said, “I just guessed.” That was Word of Knowledge right there! And then I told her I know how to make it go away. I asked for her hand and she simply slipped it under the window and I began to pray and commanded the migraine to leave and never come back!” after praying I asked if she feels any better.” Actually, Yeah! it’s so weird! Thank you!” I blessed her and went on my way.
[Risk No. 62] - After depositing money, I went to the post office to drop off something. When I got there I saw this man with a cane and he was walking like he was in such pain. I couldn’t help but notice him and had this burning desire to pray for him. I wasn’t even done with my business at the post office but I had to go up to him and asked about his back and knees. Sure enough he said he has a spine injury and which causes his right leg to lose all the strength. I offered prayer and he immediately reached out his hand. I prayed and asked Jesus to heal his whole entire back and right leg. After praying I said, “Thanks for letting me pray for you, I hope you feel better when you get home.” I didn’t think that there was ‘something’ that’s going to happen, but to my surprise he responded. “Actually, I do feel a lot better, I felt heat and warmth flow through my right leg! Thank you!”
God is ever so faithful. I’ve been doing this for a little over a month now and yet I still have doubts. Sometimes we get so caught up with ‘Lord if it’s your will, heal this person.” God wants to heal. He desires for everyone to be reconciled back to Him whether through physical healing. emotional healing or spiritual healing. everything is possible with God!
Father forgive me. Thank you for opening and ‘activating’ the other gifts in my life. I ask that you continue to give me this radical obedience to walk out these gifts you’ve give me. in Jesus name!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/4314bee5297d21c835d91a84b474da96/tumblr_mlwbl4DT751r3vt08o1_500.png)
