oh the places you'll go when God has complete control

The fire continues. Each day just gets more and more intense. Just when I think I may finally have a good understanding on things, something new blows my mind away. It's amazing.

And now I am so excited to tell you about what's going on next!! A team of crazy, Jesus loving, out of their minds, Circuit Riders are heading to Los Angeles, California. More specifically: Orange Country. Home of the richest people in America. And it's about to get crazy.

About 100-200 fiery revivalists are about to shake up the OC. We already have many churches in that area ready to follow up with us in this movement. Denominations have been pushed aside. It's all for the glory of God!! Nothing is going to come in the way of what God is about to do in CA through the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why LA? The last crazy Jesus Movement started also here in Orange County on the beach. Thousands came to know the Lord and went to tell everyone they knew. We are hoping, praying, and believing for a repeat of what happened in the past. This is the epicenter of today's culture. And we know Jesus wants to change it for Him! We were be working on skid road with prostitutes, the poor, the rich, the broken, and the lost. Anyone and everyone. We are going out with passionate hearts and empowered spirits to heal, bring revival of the heart, and reformation of lives.

God is calling me to join this crazy, passionate team. He wants me to evangelize to the lost and disciple the saved. He has given me a voice and the honor to work for Him. I need your support in finances and prayer. I still need a lot of my lecture fees for this class and also now additional costs for going to Orange County. I have invested everything I have into this, knowing this is where God is calling me. I don't know when I'm going to be going back home. I'm not leaving until God tells me too. I am needing at least $2,000 for the rest of lecture fees and for the LA two week outreach. But God is calling me for longer than that, and I will need more.

Please ask the Lord what He is telling you to sew into His Kingdom to bless not only me but the lost and hurting people in LA. I appreciate your time reading this and truly seeking His heart.

MOUNT UP!

I've been here in Kona, Hawaii for 11 days. It feels like I've been here for months, like I've known these new friends for years, like the revelations I've learned have been taught over my entire life. And .it's only been 11 days. Crazy.

I think this is what Heaven feels like. Time flies by but feels like it takes forever. Glory every day. It's not this place or this class that is the reason. This only give the environment for the opportunity to encounter God in an incredible new way.

I'm sure you're wondering, what's this Circuit Rider thing? Why am I in HI for 5 weeks? What's the point? Is it really worth it?

In the late 1700's, the western world was pretty under developed. In order to reach the lost, a group of men volunteered to ride horseback from town to town preaching the good news of Jesus Christ and making disciples. These men would come to a town, preach until the town was saved, ride to the next town, preach until the town was saved, and go to the next town. They would continue this for several towns and then would return to the first town to disciple the believers. They could travel in the cycle creating a circuit. These men were called Circuit Riders. Most of them faced physical trials with sickness and persecution from the people in the town. They didn't quit until it killed them.
And this is the heart of the class. Circuit Riders exists to establish and equip a generation to obey and fulfill Jesus' Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40) and Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20). It aims to cultivate a generation of leaders wholly given and surrendered to the will of the Father, living for a purpose greater than themselves, and sent as laborers of the Gospel to the hardest and darkest frontiers on the earth. The purpose is to revive and awaken the church to ignite a burning passion for the lost; to boldly proclaim and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit; and to make and train disciples through Biblical truth so they can go out and do the same.

This class has drawn me into deeper intimacies with God, called me to intercession and partnering with the Holy Spirit, shown me how to live in community centered around God, to go out and preach to the lost, to heal the sick, and to lead others to do the same. We have seen over 40 salvations and even more healed from various sicknesses and diseases all within the last two weeks. We cannot wait to see what comes next.

If you are interested, every day our class is recorded and uploaded onto itunes. All the podcasts are FREE! Just search "Circuit Riders" and look for the man on a house icon. I would totally recommend listening in. God WILL DO crazy things in your life if you let Him move.

Something Crazy.

Today is Thursday, 7 July 2011.

Today anyone attending the 5 week class, Circuit Riders, in Kona, Hawaii is supposed to arrive, get all checked in, settle into their rooms, meet and greet their fellow classmates, reunite with past friends, and just be there.

Today I'm sitting on the computer. I have an eye doctor appointment in two hours followed by a good seven hours of work. And then I'm coming home and booking a ticket to Kona.

I don't have $1,400 to take the class. But I do have about $800 to try and purchase a ticket to Hawaii. And so I'm going to go. I told Jesus that if He gave me enough money for a ticket, I'd go and trust Him to provide the rest.

I think I was just waiting for a sign. You know how we do that sometimes? We just sit and wait for "something to really tell us what to do next". And I suppose I got it. :) I was chilling at work, and someone reminded me, "when the Lord tells you to do something crazy, you'd better do it."

So let's do something crazy.

2 Corinthians 5:13-14 (The Message)
"If I acted crazy, I did it for God; if I acted overly serious, I did it for you. Christ's love has moved me to such extremes. His love has the first and last word in everything we do."

Will you join me in this crazy adventure? I am challenging you to do something crazy. I am asking you to ask God what He wants you to give to help me. I'm not asking you to give something random. I am asking you to ASK GOD. If He tells you not to give, so be it. If He tells you $2, you'd better give $2. And if He tells you something more, you'd better follow Him.

Trust Him. It's all I'm doing right now.
