NightStrike Friday March 26, 2010

Once again it was another beautiful night in the city of Saint Francis (San Francisco). Mark Neitz brought about 20 people from his youth group at the Gateway church. Incredible bunch of young people. I had the honor of leading half the team out to the streets. It was good to see an old Night Strike leader, Forrest, come out tonight. Forrest set me straight years ago on the gifts of the Spirit. I believed we could only have one. Don't you love these preconceived notions? On my second Night Strike I ever went out on I was placed on Forrest's team. That night, Forrest told his team it was going to be a night of healing on the streets. I boldly raised my hand and said my spiritual gift wasn't in healing. Forrest renounced my short comings and proclaimed that 'tonight I am a healer'. And things literally took off from there. Forrest just had to speak it over me. With Forrest, Bill (team leader), Tim's team from Cornerstone, a team from Valley Bible Church, Samanth...

San Francisco Outreach with Behtel School of Supernatural Minsitry

Image
Tuesday March 09 – Friday March 12, 2010 I had the incredible pleasure of ministering with Mark Neitz ministries and Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) in the city of San Francisco. In this ministry outreach we stayed in the city in a little church that was local for our base of operations. Days were beautiful but the temperature dropped significantly at night in the church we were staying in. This only covers the events I was a part of. Many other things happened in groups I wasn't working with at the time. This is not completely edited and proofed. I wanted to journal as much as I could before forgetting the events and details. This is the high speed brain dump version to the keyboard. This next week will be hectic and I want to at least download as much as I can while it is all still fresh. Tuesday Night March 09 2010 We drove the team over to a location in San Francisco to minister with Lions Pride ministries (Jason and Bekah) on the streets near Hippie Hill in ...

Night Strike March 12, 2010 - The Scarlet Cord

And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. Joshua 2:1 Last night turned a new page in the Night Strike street ministry. Something was birthed and we're still not sure what it is yet. Many people consider our Night Strike outreach to be specifically a drug addict, prostitute and homeless outreach. But if you know Mark and Bob long enough our true charter is to go into the dark places where everyone else tells us not to go and that's where we find heaven's treasure. I was passed the mantle for prostitute ministry from my good friends, Elyssa and Leah, who have an incredible heart for this ministry and constantly blessed dancers and prostitutes on the streets and in front of the clubs where they worked. When I was handed the reigns I had every intention of maintaining the ministry and following in the footsteps of my two in...

Possess the Land...

So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you? - Joshua 18:3 Did you ever wonder what was at your property before your nice new home was constructed? Sure, real estate is all about location location location. But what if your new home is the previous site of the Church of Satan, in the Richmond district in San Francisco. The Anton LaVey house was demolished in 2001 after it fell into complete disrepair -like everything else Satan touches. The victorian was was built in the 1800's, and when it was destroyed by contractors in 2001. It had roots, that quote, went all the way back to hell. The property reportedly sold for a mere $240,000, for premium real estate in the city. You wonder what kind of activity is going on in the condos. Hopefully, none. Defiled land can be repossessed, if you'll excuse the term, just look at the work of King Josi...

Lectio Divina – Scripture Prayer

God is having me expand my horizons in prayer these past several months. It's not about the ministry, it's about the minister. God would rather see a crystal cathedral built in your soul than a man made crystal cathedral built to seat thousands. In my adventures of seeking the Father deeper I have been attending different churches and learning how different denominations pray. I have been researching the writings of Catholic church saints from the 1500's, and wow, the stuff you come across. History wants to paint the Catholic church as not having God in it at all during these times. This was the era of the Spanish Inquisition. Despite the horrors of this period, there were those who were deeply seeking God and trying to change the church around from the evil ways of man. Some even risked being called heretics and their writings and theology was directly in the face of the inquisitors. Yet, these people were spared because of the miracles, signs, and wonders that God backe...

Unredeemed Gifts – the Psychic

There is a lot of misinformation spreading through the churches today on what a psychic is and how they can talk to spirits. Paranormal research has now become a mainstream past time due heavily in part to the success of the long running Ghost Hunters series on the SyFy channel. The wide availability of podcasting has also sparked a sub-culture in capturing and broadcasting supernatural phenomena. There must be hundreds of paranormal research groups on the Internet. With that said, let's revisit the lessons learned from Wikipedia. Just because the information is on the Internet does not guarantee reliability of the source or the factuality of the information. The present fad of paranormal investigation is one such example of misinformation gone awry. We have an interesting clash of technology and spirituality. So much for the age old misnomer religion and science don't mix. The #1 leading source of misinformation are the television shows. The viewers are so hungry for somethi...
