HALLELUJAH!

Four things.

1. Library Walk:
1) Talked to a girl from Taiwan. She came here for her master in BioEngineer 1.5 years ago. Gordon was preaching Love today and he saw that girl and asked me to go talk to her. I found out that she's from Taiwan so I started to talk to her about Jesus in Mandarin! I basically told her that Jesus loves her and desires a intimate relationship with her. Even though she seemed a little be scared by me(I hope not), I knew that she was listening to what I was saying in my poor poor Mandarin lol. Thank You Lord.

2) Then I saw a man listening to Gordon/Eddie. He walked away for a couple steps and turned back and listen again, and again, and again. I was like....I GOTTA GO TALK TO HIM! Then he started to leave, so I was like...well, I guess today's not the day we meet. So I looked back, and I saw Grace giving me the face of "GO TALK TO HIM!!". So I was like.... uh..... rrrreh.... hmm.. alright I'll just do it. So I stalked him and trying to catch up to him. Finally we started to talk.
"That's some intense message," I said.
"I don't really understand everything. I don't really speak English. I just came here last week."
"Where do you come from?"
"I come from China, Shen Yang"
So ONCE AGAIN I started to talk in Mandarin with this 40+ year old teacher who came here for a degree in education and to learn more English. So I basically told him about what we're preaching about: God is Love. And of course we had to pull out the politics between China and Taiwan and whatsoever, but he wasn't a very extreme communist or what not. I told him that I don't care about politics, I care about Love.
"耶穌愛你--Jesus Loves You"
Guess what? He and other 30 teachers from China are helped by these Chinese speaking Christians to get settled in since they just came a week and half ago! And he really agree on the love thing I was talking about. He said that he's planning to go to church with those friends this coming Sunday!!! Praise the Lord! I gave him my contact and I hope that he'll call me up sometime. Bless that man, Lord. As I was sharing this at YOPP, everyone was like, "dude that's awesome that you shared Gospel in Mandarin with 2 people in the same day! Go preach in Chinese dude!" Ha. Maybe it's a sign from the Lord. However, I want to use whatever way I can to share the Gospel, even with my half-broken Chinese! Thanks Jesus!

3) Saw a group of perspective students with a tourguide right in front of us. A high school boy was on a wheelchair. I was like....I gotta grab someone with me. So I literally grabbed Victor, who was next to me, to go and pray for that boy. We tried to blend in as a part of the tourists (it was pretty funny), and we waited for the tourguide to finish and the group started moving. That boy's name is Juan (just like mine: John!). He had a tumor scraped off on his right thigh so he can't really do much walking or whatnot for five weeks. So he let me pray for him while Victor pushing him (haha, Victor you're so awesome!). He said he knows Jesus and he can actually walk, it's just he can't do sports. So I told him that when he goes back home he can try and do some sport and see whether his right leg got totally recovered! Victor was really encouraged and so was I!

4) And then one of our great friend and brother Eric came over, still on his crutches. So I was just about to head to class, and I walked with him and prayed for him a little. I think I wrote it down last Thursday that his feet started to hurt, however it has got a lot better today. He still use the crutches because he still can't walk very fast. Then we walked separate ways.

And then the CRAZY ANKLE HEALING of my last entry!

2. YOPP -- Pictures
This is what I saw tonight during YOPP.
1) An arrow pointing upward. But there's an "X" right in front of it. So I was like, "Lord, what does it mean? Why is there an "X" sign? And suddenly the two strokes of the word "X" turned into something else. A stroke is a shovel, and another, a syringe/injector. And suddenly it clicked. The shovel represents man's work, and the syringe represents science and medication--BOTH CAN'T LEAD TO THE TRUTH. And then I see the Cross right next to it--it is through the Cross and the blood of the Lamb that we can enter His Kingdom. Universities are trying so hard through research and science and medicine to explain TRUTH, but they can't unless through the Cross. Thank You Lord for this picture.

2) A red leaf falling, and on the surface, burning fire.
However, the leaf is not consumed.
Micah, the crazy dude who has been doing signs and wonders on SDSU campus, said that it's like Moses and the burning bush: burning yet not consumed. It's the Holy Spirit: burning our heart but doesn't fade.

3. YOPP -- Prophetic Words
1) Gordon just saw a huge wave at the place where I was sitting. He got so pumped and he was like, I don't know what's gonna happen, but maybe you're a wave, Johnny. Holy Spirit's the wave!

2) A POWERFUL ONE: Lord has given me some good words through Speach. He told me that bad stuff has happened and many bad stuff will happen in my life that would make me think, "God, why is this happening". And I would turn to God and seek for healing during the events; moreover, I would use my healing to heal others and carry it for the rest of my life.
I started to share with Speach about how my faith has strengthened through the death of my aunt, and how my dad's heart got stirred up because of my little faith. I'm looking forward to my life. Lord, I don't know whether my heart is steadfast, but it's all Yours.

4. YOPP -- More Healing
1) Jeff Wong said he's got a back pain right then. And it always bothers him when he wakes up. So we all gathered around him and prayed for healing. After the first prayer, he said it felt so much batter but it still hurt a little. So we were like, "we're praying again!" So after the second prayer, he said, "the pain's almost gone!" So we prayed AGAIN, and surely God healed him completely right there! "It doesn't hurt anymore!" He was bending down like crazy hahaha! He was all excited and so were we!

2) As we were leaving, I heard Helena, a 2nd year who just joined us a couple weeks ago, coughing. So I prayed for her. A real short prayer. so we were all walking down the stairs and we ended up talking right in front of York Hall. As I was talking to Gordon, Helena suddenly came to me and said that, "the itchiness in the throat was completely gone now! It was still there after you prayed for me, but it's gone now!!!" I was like....WWWWHAT!!!!

*********
Lord, that's really a lot of testimonies! I love what You've been doing--expand and enlarge my identity, authority, and territory. This school's going to be rocked upside down because more and more people got touched by You, Jesus!

Who are these that turn the world upside down!?!??! :-)
-Acts 17:6- (NKJV, Modified a bit by Mark Hendrickson!)

So much, I can't contain it!
Tell me this is not a new season!

Johnny

ps. Pray for my school work! I've got some reading to do and paper to write and projects to do and books to buy and all the stuff. I was still worrying about them this morning, but God took over my day. So I'm all good and cheerful now!

pps. Jeff Shin-Te Kuo is cool. Just wanna point that out. There, Jeff, now you're in my entry. You happy now? haha.
