It's Time to STAND OUT!!!
While we were at Worshipers Arise, God began to do something new in me. He began to shift things inside of me to the point where i couldn't control my body physically. At first i was shocked because i really didn't know what was going on. Then he spoke and told me to let go and let him to take over and change what needed to be changed, so that he can use me like he wants to. God is preparing me spiritually and physically to stand out amungst my peers as an example on how to live the life that is pleasing to him. He is preparing me to be a light in Garner High, and to place an untameable fire in Garner that can never be put out. I can feel the changes that are going on. God is building up leaders for the new generation that he is birthing on this year. He has been building us up and testing us all these years and we didn't even know it. Everything that he has allowed us to go through is what's going to affect this generation so much. The testimonies that he has placed in us is what's going to bring the connection between lifestyle christians and this generation. God didn't allow his leaders to go through pain and suffering just because he can. There was a purpose behind the trials and tribulations. Now is the time where we step up in the boldness that he has placed in us, and not be ashamed of what we have gone through, or where he has brought us from. How many more kids have to die before the leaders that he has called forth step up and take this generation by force??? I know what God has called me to do and I can't stand by and watch the enemy continue to kill God's generation. I'm ready to embrace what God is doing and not be ashamed. I'm ready to STAND OUT!!!

Worshipers Arise
This past weekend Blaz-En (the dance ministry at my church, The Furnace) and I went to this gathering of worship called Worshipers Arise in Virginia. When we got there they were having difficulties with the power, so we began to pray for the power to work and run smoothly. We saw this as just praying for that specific reason, but God was using this time of prayer to set the atmosphere what he wanted to do on that day through Blaz-En. As it was getting closer and closer to the time for us to minister i could feel the presence of God getting thicker and thicker. Before we went on to minister, we came together and prayed. As we were praying God just released a new fire throughout the entire team. It was just so unexpected. The fire that was released was like a fire that he has never been released over us. As we began to minister, i could see the Holy Spirit breaking bondage off of us that were ministering as well as those who were watching. What God did in us just shifted the entire atmosphere. It just completely tipped the glass of his presence. God did something so powerful that they had to stop the entire gathering. Keith Duncan, the founder of Worshipers Arise, had Blaz-En stay at the front, and he called everyone that wanted to be prayed for to the front. He had us go behind the people and pray for them. This is funny because Pastor Joshua said that God was going to take us to a level in him where he would have us to pray for people after we ministered to them. That was no more then a month ago, and now it is manifesting itself. I don't think that any of us expected the manifestation of that prophecy to come this soon, but we are glad that God is using us in such a powerful way and he is just beginning. He is opening so many doors for Blaz-En and The Furnace. He trust us to have wisdom and humility enough to not get big headed with the gift that he has blessed us with.
