blind eyes open
-1 Corinthians 6:19~20-

I could not believe that I woke up @ 6am today to go to the 7am prayer meeting. By His grace that I actually woke up after 4 hours of sleep!

Long story short, I spent 3 hours (from 7-10) praying with Eddie, Joshua, Leal, Grace, Victor, and Helena in this little office space, and one hour (10-11) on the head of the serpent. I have been reading 1 Kings 18 for the past two days and it totally rocked me. I'll share more tomorrow on that since I'm still working on the notes. Then from 11-12 I went to Library Walk with ORIGINS gang - Brian, Esther, Becca, Jojo, Jeremy, and Delilah - since we've got a tabling down there for 2 hours.

One cool thing: people were passing by the table, and this dude's (his name's Justin) like, "so what is this? free encouraging words huh?"
"Yeah man, would you like some free encouraging words?"
"You have 2 seconds to encourage me."
(And my heart was like, alright Lord, whatever You want me to say, I'll say it.)
"Well Justin, you are a person of influence. You impact people's lives and I believe that is a gift that God has given to you. People will follow you and see you as a model and example. God love you."
And he was like, "man that's pretty accurate!" And left for class.
Is Jesus good or what?! =D

I came across four people today:

1) Joshua - broke his left shoulder. He had a sugery once but the doctors messed it up so there are blood clogs around his bicep area. Not pretty at all. He's been taking pills to prevent the clogging and he had another surgery just a week ago. I laid my hands on his shoulders and I felt heat as I prayed! He said he felt the heat too. I asked him to start moving it around, but he said he doesn't want to hurt it and he will give me a report next week. Got his facebook. Sweet.

2) Steve - torn ligament by his right thumb playing water polo. He told me that he needs to have the cast on for at least 2 months. Didn't want me to laid hands but accepted prayer. Lord I thank You for healing him and when he goes back to the doctors he would be completely healed!

3) This dude wearing a hulky boot walking with a cane. I went up to him with Eddie, but he said, "Yes, I do mind if you pray for me. Thank God for medical science!" And left. Lord I pray that he would come to know You and You would reveal Yourself to him as God the healer.

4) Dude just sprained his ankle, on his way to the health center. I so wanted to see him healed instantaneously, however his friends were quite pushy, but I got to lay my hand on that ankle. Be healed in Jesus Name!

Well, I just thank God and praise Him in advance for what He will be doing! Thank You Jesus! I want more!

I was pretty much starving when I arrived school at around 2pm. As I was walking toward a food stand to get some of that delicious lemongrass chicken, the Lord said to me, "Yo, you gotta fast lunch today."

Wasn't that just the greatest moment of my day!!!....NOT.

Well, I felt that God would prepare someone with a broken ankle for me, so I started my lunch fast praying in tongues and listening to jazz music and reading about Obama's inauguration. Well, I even went up to a guy before I head to class and asked him, "Hey, by any chance you have an ankle problem?" And he said, "No, I don't." lol.

It was 5pm after my last class and I did not feel very hungry (praise the Lord!), but I was still praying in tongue, believing that He would provide me with someone. As I was walking down the Library Walk, this Asian dude is crutching (I just created this word, crutching. sweet.) towards me! And man was I excited. My heart cried out "THAT'S MY ANKLE!" His name's John and he sprained his ankle playing basketball. He could walk alright but he was being cautious by walking with crutches. At first he was hesistant in receiving prayers, and my spirit was like, "NO! God I'm supposed to pray for him!" And guess what? He then said, "Alright. A quick one!" To make the long story short, I left happy even though he refused to give me his crutches. I claimed that healing on the spot!

Then I sat down on a bench waiting for Jeff to come and pick me up. Next to me was Vince, we chatted a bit and I realized that he has a cast on his right foot! He was pretty open to prayer and he told me that he went to church up in San Jose (didn't ask him which one). Anyhow, I claimed healing of that broken bone that has a pin in it. He is going to the doctors tomorrow, and hopefully he can start walking without the crutches after 6 weeks! Amen!

I'm starting yet another personal challenge. In order to practice how to hear from the Lord and pratice being prophetic, I'm going to ask the Lord to tell me something like He did today and I would see that thing come to pass in that day! Words of knowledge, fill me up!

I guess President Obama cares more about murdering more babies than the current financial crisis. I simply cannot imagine that he is going to fund FOREIGN ABORTIONS starting TOMORROW, Jan. 20th, his first day of work in the White House.

Here's an excerpt of the article:
Obama Officals Confirm He Will Fund Foreign Abortions Starting Wednesday
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Officials with the incoming administration of Barack Obama have confirmed that he will indeed overturn a pro-life policy of President Bush on his first day in office. Despite campaigning on the rhetoric of wanting to reduce abortions, Obama will make one of his first actions promoting them globally.

We've already lost one-third of our generation and we cannot afford more lives to be taken. We ought to travail and pray for God to supernaturally intervene and the the shedding of the innocent blood would end. Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of America. God, end abortion and send revival to America!

Father, according to Timothy 2, Paul exhorted that "supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and for all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior". In obedience to Your Word, we join together this day, January 20 2009, with our GOD TV family all across the United States of America and join in one heart and one mind in prayer and intercession for our new incoming President Barack Obama. Father we ask this day that as Barack Obama is inaugurated here in Washington DC, that You would look down from Heaven and in Your great mercies upon America look down this day upon President Barack Obama and grant him exceeding wisdom in these crucial days ahead facing him and the new administration. Oh mighty Father we pray as a united body to You, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that You may grant to Barack Obama the spirit of wisdom and revelation of the knowledge of Yourself this day. That the eyes of President Obama's understanding be enlightened that he may know what is the hope of his calling and the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power to us-ward who believe and to himself, according to the working of Your mighty power which you wrought in Christ, when You raised Him from the dead.

Father we pray that the overshadowing fear of the Lord would start to rest upon this new administration. We pray for Your sovereign hand to guide the President and those in his cabinet. We release YOUR purposes, we release YOUR plan, we release YOUR strategies and YOUR wisdom, we release YOUR governance. We pray for visitation in the President's night hours and revelation in his waking hours, that as he enters the pressures and the challenges of office in 2009 that he would be driven to trust in You as his mighty fortress, that he would find refuge and wisdom under Your wings, that he would seek Your face before he seeks man's wisdom and Father, that You would pour out word after word in season upon him from on high.

Father, we thank you that even as Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson ruled in generations before Barack Obama, that You have placed upon President Barack Obama's shoulders a mantle to root out and tear up wickedness, thank you Father, that by Your sovereign mighty hand, You would imbue him with zealousness and righteousness to rout out evil men and sinister schemes. Grant President Barack Obama the courage to rule with justice and the wisdom to rule under God. And Father, as the body of Christ that we commit to You to lift him up faithfully and fervently. That we may consistently petition Heaven on Barack Obama's behalf and petition President Barack Obama on YOUR behalf. Father, we also ask that You minister to him in the night hours regarding the issue of abortion that he may know Your heart and Your mind on these issues so important to H eaven. And finally we ask divine protection and blessing over his family and upon his physical life. Preserve his life from being cut off prematurely, Father preserve him from sinister schemes and the schemes of wicked men. Thank you that as President of the United States he will run the course that is laid out for him in this time and this season. Thank you for joining with us and our GOD TV teams all across America to pray for President Barack Obama today and in the months and years ahead. God Bless America! With our love in the service of the Lord Jesus Christ, Rory and Wendy Alec.

Today is definitely one of the most significant day of the history of man. And President Obama sure needs lots of prayers for the next 4 years, once again, God, I pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You to fall upon him that Barack Obama will be a God-fearing leader of the United States of America.
Amen, amen, and amen.
