A Rollercoaster Week

Sunday afternoon, I'm preparing to get ready to go to Clacton where THRE3 (my band) were leading worship. I had a phone call, to say that one of my dear friends, Joe Pancaldi suffered a terrible accident and had died. He was just 21.

I was broken, leading worhip with the guys that night, broke me. During the song 'Blessed be your name' I just cried, during the breakdown of the song I just about managed to say why I was upset, and why I was worshiping so hard, the song says "When the darkness closes in, Lord, Still I will say; Blessed be the name of the Lord". In these times of trial, we have to press in to worship, we can't let the devil rob us of God.

So Joey, Brother, I will see you in heaven. You have been an inspiration.
It's been a hard week. I've been trying to press in, and some times have been easier than others. I can't understand God, I've given up trying, my week continues...

A few months ago I was very blessed to meet a girl who I think is awesome. She is so on fire for God, she's just fantastic. I'm going to keep her identity secret, it isn't fair to tell you who it is, so we'll refer to her as Friend. She does live about 500 miles away, but that won't give you much of a clue! Well anyway, we were chatting on Facebook. She starts tellling me about how she's backslidden a bit lately, back smoking a lot of weed and stuff, not been to church for a few weeks etc.

She said she's having trouble giving it to God... I've been a bit dry lately, but in faith I know that God CAN work miracles through me, so I thought to myself, I'm gonna pray for her, I'm going to claim her healing.

So, rebuked everything (still on Facebook chat) completely went to town gettin all the bad stuff away from her, God's glory fell on us both (like im in my living rooom and it feels like its 100 degrees here!) She starts feeling fire! So I tell her to keep liftin her hands to him, pray, worship, open up... It's all gone a bit crazy - she feels that God is setting her free, she's feeling pain and can feel her body changing ... So I thought WOW, Pretty cool!!!

But are you ready? Because this is where God really steps in, this is a copy from facebook chat IT BLOWS MY MIND!!!...
