Expectations. Exceeded.

It is half way through lecture phase and I can not believe how much God has done in just 6 weeks time! The students are running hard after God, and growing so much! It is actually amazing to see them transform week after week as they fall more in love with Jesus! On Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays we all are in the prayer room for 2 hours praying about different topics that are on Gods heart for the world (Abortion, Hollywood, The Church in America, Sex Trafficking and other issues), and I have also seen such transformation with the students in these prayer times! God has really been giving the students a heart of prayer and intercession, which I think has been so missing in our generation.

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. 2 Coronicles 7:14

We are a “we want it now” generation (especially in America) and have not taken time to pray, and wait upon the Lord in a place of intercession. I know I have been guilty of this, but God has taken me to a place where I love to intercede and can not get enough of it!  This past friday after the prayer room set a group of students got together and prayed for each other and for other students from other schools for 12 hours straight! I found out about it after they had been praying for about 8 hours, because I heard them literally crying out to the Lord. Some of these students had just learned about the Holy Spirit for the first time a couple weeks ago, and are already flowing in the Spiritual gifts! I jumped in for a while and they were getting spot on words for me about my life and for my future, things they did not know about me, and things I have felt God speaking to me. They were praying and hearing from God! I can’t wait to see them on outreach, they will bring the Kingdom of heaven by FORCE to the Nations!

“From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it”.  Matthew 11:12

Every tuesday night all of us staff and the students also get to apply what we are learning about God, and about His love, by taking it to the streets of Kona. We have seen a lot of lives changed by the students simply telling people on the streets about what God has done in their lives! We have seen people healed, set free, and saved. Last tuesday night we all met up (after going out in groups of three-four for a couple hours) to shared what God had done that evening. After only a few minutes of sharing we as staff found out that the students had led four people to the Lord! YES JESUS!!!!! We are not waiting to go on outreach to tell people about Jesus, we know it is our privilege to tell people about HIM every chance we get wherever we are! NOW is the time to tell people about JESUS!
