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!

I saw David walking back and forth holding a sign that says “Need Food. God love” just outside the 99 cents store parking lot. I thought “well let me buy him some food and then I can go and buy what I need from the store. I approached him and said, “let me buy you some food is a sandwich okay?” With a huge smile he said ,”yes!”

As we were walking towards subway, I noticed that he’s limping which caused him to walk so slow. - We got to the store And got him his sandwich I asked if his back or legs were in pain. Turns out it was. I offered to pray and he was so excited because he believes in God and prayer. So I prayed and commanded for his back, legs and knees to be healed. After praying he felt so much better and he felt all the pain start to diminish.

 We kept talking and I found out that he’s a believer too and loves Jesus! So awesome. I think we might have talked for an hour. But before i said goodbye I asked for his back and legs just to check if he was still in pain and he said “i feel a lil bit of pain in my back. My hips aren’t aligned that’s why I’m walking this way. And then the Holy Spirit gave me this impression that one of his legs are shorter and I need to command for it to grow and align with the other.

I said David one of your legs is shorter and the other is longer lets find a chair and have you sit down and I’m gonna ask Jesus to grow your short leg and aligned it with the other. He sat on a chair. Lift his legs up and sure enough left leg is shorter. I began to praying and commanded the leg to grow and to my amazement the leg grew and David felt it too! I asked him to stand and walk around and he said “my back feels way even better this time! And my legs are feeling so much better! Wow! Thank you!” We both rejoiced and praised God! He was so thankful how God restored his back and legs. 

My friends, our God doesn’t show any partiality. small or great, young or old, rich or poor, it doesn’t matter. They are His children and He wants them all to be reconciled back to Him through meeting their physical or spiritual needs. It’s all about seeing people through the Father’s eyes and not yours. 

Jesus, thank you for using someone like me to show love to others. Even though I feel so small and faithless, you never fail to show and display your power. It’s true when you said that ‘..even greater things you’ll be doing because I’m going to The Father!” I take hold of that because thats a trustworthy promise from you! Continue to use me, grow me and empower me to live a life worthy to be called your servant, disciple, and friend. :)

You guys, this is Lauren! We were just chattin’ earlier when she mentioned that her stomach was just in so much pain. So I told her “do you want the pain to go away?!” And she was so excited to answer me with “yes!”

So we went and sat outside the church and I prayed and asked Jesus to heal her. And he did! She felt so much better after! So we kept talking and found out that she was so encouraged by the things that God’s doing in my life and how I post my encounters with people here on insta and Facebook.

I learned that she desires so much to be used by God in whatever capacity she can. Even though she has this doubts, she wants to live a life full of purpose, joy and power. So we began praying and I just prayed that God would anoint her and fill her with such power through the Holy Spirit!

My friends, all that being said, a new world changer was born today. Be on a look out for her coz she’s gonna shake this city! 

P.s - I asked her about the pain and she said “it’s like gone!” 

if God’s using you in crazy ways, share that to someone! Encourage others! You never know how much impact that can cause to someone who’s watching you! The King that we represent is contagious and He can’t be contain so proclaim the goodness and the power of Jesus! 

One of the reasons why I love doing my devotions in public places is because people can see that I’m reading the bible. Either another Christian would approach me and say something like, “That’s sure is a great book brother!” or if it’s a non-christian they usually say something like, “What you reading?” they know it’s a bible but what they really mean is, “Why are you reading that? you believe that stuff”? which I don’t really mind. I love engaging with people!

David sat next to me and we started talking about religion and all different kinds of faith. He’s one of those ‘coexist’ people who believed that all religions point to the same God. I wasn’t gonna debate with him or prove that Jesus is the only way to God, but I did say that Christianity is different from all ‘religions’ because God came down to us, instead of us working our way up to God. 

I got a word of knowledge from God that David had a back and knee pain. While we were still talking, I politely asked if he had any pain on his back or knee, turns out he did have pains on both. He was puzzled how I knew about it. I simply said, “God told me.” This time he looked terrified. ha!

I said, “You want the pain to go away? Let me pray for you.” He didn’t want it at first but I told him that it won’t be that long. I told him to give me 3secs. Just 3 secs of his time and that’s it. He agreed. I prayed, rebuked the pain on both back and knees. I asked him to check it out and he said he felt better and then he goes, “Well, the pain is sporadic. Comes and goes.” But I told him that God is healing him already. Even though David was in denial of the healing that took place on his back and knees I blessed him and told him that God loves him.

A lot of times we try to win an argument or debate against a non-believer through eloquent words or stacked up biblical knowledge. I think there’s a place and time for that but hear what Apostle Paul had to say about this:

I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.^[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. ³ I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. ⁴ My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, ⁵ so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. - 1 Corinthians 2

What if we actually just talk, walk and live like how Jesus lived, I think that’s more effective than actually just doing the whole ‘talking’ I’m not disregarding biblical knowledge and wisdom but what I’m arguing is that Jesus was all about words followed with actions. So let’s be like Jesus and not settle for mere Christianity.

Somehow Sunday is like the biggest day that the Lord chooses to use me to do healings. 2 of my friends had a back problem and I simply prayed over their back and commanded healing to take place and it happened just like a snap of a finger!

Another friend of mine had a sore throat and stuffy nose. Same thing, I prayed for her and commanded the sickness and soreness to leave her body and after praying she tried to swallow and her eyes got big, that means the soreness and the stuffyness, GONE! 

And the last one, my friend had a broken wrist. I prayed for her 3 times but she never received. It’s not her fault, it’s on my end. I think because this time I was faced with a bigger ‘condition’ it’s a broken bone. When I saw her wrist my intellectual overpower my faith and that got in the way. But she was grateful for what I did. 

Lord Jesus, I thank you for the many victories you’ve given me in the area of healing and miracles. I pray and ask that you strengthen my faith even more and that my faith would grow past the size of a mustard seed so that not only I can move a mountain, but maybe in the future, I can move myself outta the equation quickly. Thank you for loving me and being patient with me Jesus.

Meet Tom, he’s one of your drummers here @3crosses church. During band practice he mentioned about his shoulder injury (Rotator Cuff) and that they were hurting. He injured it 8 years ago and couldn’t do much movement. But guess what, Jesus is stronger than any physical pains. 

I prayed, thanked the Father and commanded healing to take place on Tom’s shoulder and now he was able to do movement he couldn’t do 8 years ago. We both rejoiced and praised God and when his wife came he shared what happened, she was just in shocked. ha! 

Goodbye shoulder injury, hello shoulders and Praise Jesus! :)

It’s been 2 weeks since this weird noise that’s coming from the front wheel left side of my car started and it’s starting to bother so I decided to get it check yesterday by my friend Mario who’s a mechanic.

We were outside his garage when this old man wearing an orange vest started walking towards us. He looked like he’s some parking attendant so I thought that was weird. Turns out he works for some company that helps save energy. He introduced himself as John with a huge smile on his face. He started talking about this ‘product’ that his company was selling. My friend Mario was very interested with the product and decided to take advantage of signing up.

During the process of filling out papers and all that, I learned that John (the guy wearing the orange vest) has an arthritis on both of his hands. I knew that God pressed on my heart to not let this guy walk away with out praying for his hands.

After the process as he was saying bye to us, I simply asked him if I can pray for his hands to be healed from arthritis. He was very receptive and immediately closed his eyes and prayed with me. After praying I asked him to check his hands and he said it still hurts a bit but he’s was very thankful that I took the time to pray for him.

God thanks so much for people like John. He’s sucha hard working man and even though he’s already old, he’s still out there working with a HUGE smile on his face. I’m so encouraged by this man’s joy. I pray that you strengthen him everyday continue to bring healing to his hands and restore it to the fullest. In Jesus name, Amen.

I play basketball every Friday mornings at my church. This particular Friday morning was different. After playing 2 games of basketball I decided to go to our church kitchen to fill up my water bottle with some more water and ice. That’s when I met Patty. She’s an old woman who goes to our church. She’s in the kitchen getting ready to bake some Lasagna. I asked her who are they for? She said it’s for the homeless ministry that they’re doing this coming Saturday. I smiled and said “oh right on! that’s so awesome Patty!” and then she just smiled and said thank you and then I left. 

As soon as I walked outta the door, God gave me a nudge to go back and pray for her. DUH!? what was I thinking? So I went back inside  and told her if she has any specific needs or anything that’s going on in her body that I can pray for? She said she gets sick all the time and she wants to be healed. Even today as she was preparing to bake the lasagna she was even sick. I can’t pass the opportunity. I laid my hand on her head and I prayed for sickness to go away so she can serve efficiently.

Patty is a great example of what it looks like to have a servant’s heart. Here an old woman who’s sick and yet her heart goes out to the homeless people. What a great reminder to never let any of our circumstances get in the way to serving & loving people.

Lord, thank you for Patty and thank you for her heart. I pray that you continue to heal her body so she can go out, serve and love your people tomorrow. In Jesus name, Amen.

My name is Mark and I’ve been a Christian for 6 years now. I’ve tried my best to live my life for God by imitating how His Son Jesus Christ lived.. or at least that’s what I thought I was doing but to be honest it seems like there’s a lot of things that I think I’m missing.

It all started 3 years ago when an old man from another church randomly approached and gave me a prophetic and  words of encouragement  about the things that I’ll be doing in the future and how God is going to use me in tremendous ways. After that conversation, I walked away from that conversation encouraged, confuse and curious.

Fast forward. I grew in my walk with Christ, I learned a lot about Him and my identity and who I am in Him. The eternal blessings and riches that I’ve inherited because of what He has done on the cross for me. I’ve seen and experienced things both inside and outside the church that only Jesus has the power and authority to make those things happen such as healing, prophetic words, deliverance, providence, divine encounters, salvation and etc.

My curiosity and my hunger for Jesus grew even stronger over these past few months. There’s that sense of discontentment that I feel like I’m not exercising my faith to the fullest potential and that I feel like all this time I’m just scratching the surface of my faith. But few days ago, a good friend of mine spoke life, truth and encouragement to me and little did I know his words would completely rock my core and would completely change the way how I viewed myself in Christ and the things that He has called and allowed me to do through His power.

After our talk I strongly sensed that Jesus is challenging me to go further with him and to stretch myself and to really embrace my identity as one of His sons in His kingdom. Not just in a sense of biblical knowledge but to REALLY PUT THOSE KNOWLEDGE IN APPLICATION! God’s kingdom is about US participating in the gospel of Jesus Christ not just being observers or spectators. God’s heart is expressed in so many ways and sometimes in simplest forms like a smile, a hug, holding a door for someone, paying for someone’s coffee or food, giving them words of encouragement and praying for them. People desperately need to know that Jesus loves them through these simple and random acts of love.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about lately is this crazy truth that there’s so many people we pass up everyday single day and that God may have planned to purposely cross our paths right there and then for us to inspire them, encourage them, share Jesus and lead them to Jesus and yet a lot of times we pass by them?

So here’s the deal. Starting March of 2013 I’m going to genuinely take risks to just boldly pray for someone, meet their needs through physical healing, spiritual encouragement or whatever! I’m calling this MY COUNTLESS RISKS I found my inspiration from this guy. Basically starting in March of 2013 till the day I die, I’m gonna live my life full of risks. Taking ‘baby steps’ towards a life that looks like Christ. To step out of my way every single day. Learning to focus away from myself and to focus on an individual and love that person just like how Jesus loves us and then write a short blog about my encounters to possibly challenge you and encourage you in hopes that you would do the same. -

This isn’t a “legalistic list” approach or numbers game it’s really just me taking risks and step of faith and to throw all excuses and complacency outta the door. Jesus said if we believe Him then we will and we can do the same things He has done and even do greater things because He is going to the Father.

God reminded me that as a Christ follower, I don’t have to be special, unique, over qualified or gifted in order to reach someones hand and pray for their sickness or for their pain to go away. Jesus said that all we need to do is pray and believe that it would be done through His name and then we leave the rest in God’s hand. All it takes is making ourselves available and asking God to give us encounters. To allow our self to engage with people and give Jesus the opportunity to be who He says He is and to make much of Him through us as you engage with people.

He has paid the price, we have been set free from the bondage of sin and death and because of that we can walk with such freedom, power and authority all because of the fact that Christ lives inside of us. But more importantly that we would walk with compassion and love because that’s who Jesus is. In Christ there’s no fear, no timidity, no lukewarmness, no stubbornness none of that but only faith working through love. That’s the whole purpose of this challenge, to share Jesus’ love in a genuine, tangible and intentional way.

If you have any questions as to how exactly to do this, don’t be afraid to message me. Re-blog this so others can join us in this cause.  And if you do join me please submit and share your story to me. There’s a link on my page. God bless!

” Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.”  - John 14:12
