Supernatural DNA

About three months ago I had my bags packed, ready to move to Redding, California, one of the best places on Earth. I had planned on attending Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, which is in my opinion, the best school ever. It is my heart’s cry to be an abandoned lover of Jesus Christ and to walk in miracles, signs, and wonders. I have known about Bethel for a long time and have listened to their sermons for over two years, they live a Kingdom lifestyle and see miracles daily. Every door was opened and every obstacle was removed so that I could attend this school. I visited there in June and loved it, I was ready for the adventure of my life.

The first week of school was amazing. The worship and the presence of God is more intense than anywhere I’ve ever been. After the first week I started to feel sick. Me and my roommates spent a few nights praying over me, achieving some breakthrough, but then, in one day, I ended up in the hospital because it was so bad. God took the opportunity during the five days I was in the hospital to speak to my heart and reveal to me more of His nature. I know that God did not make me sick, but He uses all bad and turns it into good. I realized in the hospital that I needed to be home in Ann Arbor. Kris Vallotton, a pastor at Bethel, gave an amazing message about how God creates opportunities that He does not want you to take. The most valuable lesson I learned is to live daily for His presence and His voice alone, because it keeps me alive. He spoke to me about my mom, and how I am supposed to be in Ann Arbor for my family. I have had one huge encounter with God, and that was at Bethel, back in June. God showed me that it’s okay that I am having many small encounters here in Ann Arbor. God is working through process. A friend from Bethel gave me a drawing of “Supernatural DNA,” and God told me this is what he’s doing. I cannot be offended because God is doing it in a way that I didn’t think He would. I still ask to be whacked by Him, but I have learned to no longer be offended. The most important thing to God is our hearts, and He will continue to work in us until we fully represent Him. It is my responsibility as His son to bring those around me into an encounter with Him. I am still on the adventure of my life! God is good always! He is preparing me to see the day where everyone in a wheelchair will walk, and I boldly contend and believe that is today! Kingdom come now!
