God used my team to RAISE THE DEAD

 It boggles my mind conversing with some believers. People claim to believe the bible is true but yet when it comes to certain topics the common response is “Well that doesn’t happen today. It was for the bible times.” I attest that the presence of the Holy Spirit, prophesy, tongues, healings, miracles, signs, wonders, visions and dreams were not only for the bible times because on this race God has allowed me to bare witness.

I have been used to prophesy to complete strangers. God has given me images, dreams, visions, interpretations of those. He has placed people across my path and given me insight into their lives before they even opened their mouths.

There was one particular instance while in the Philippines that God told me to talk to a member of the N Squad. I disobeyed and didn’t go talk to her. I had no idea what I would say if I did go speak to her. God kept reminding me that He would give me the words. I still didn’t go to her. Well, God brought her to me. She came up to me and said, “What are you supposed to tell me?” Immediately it was as if God opened my mouth himself and words began to come out. All I could feel was her spirit in agreement with mine. God showed me that day that I have to step out on faith when He tells me to do something- no matter how crazy it may sound.

Most recently my new team, Fullness of One, went to an International Church service Sunday afternoon. The service was held in a hotel. New to the church, we weren’t so keen on walking around and saying hello to different ones. However after offering, our fearless leader, Leisa, found herself standing up along with many others introducing our team. A beautiful Indian woman, Liney, introduced her all women’s team from the States. 

After the service I smiled at Liney from a distance, still admiring her beauty. Our eyes met and she began walking towards me. At that moment I had no idea what God had in store for us. Before I knew it, the seven of us were gathered in the hotel lobby alongside the four of them. Right then I knew this was a divine appointment from God.

These women began to pour into our lives. We had such a spiritual connection with them. Pastor D began praying over us.  God used her to speak truth over us. I could tell as she took turns with each of us that God was just downloading our past history on her tongue. She spoke things in my life that not even my best friend knows about me, my inner fears. God spoke right through her to me. He spoke through her to the other women on my team as well. 

We sat in that lobby for hours. It seemed so normal to stand up and get prophesied over right in the middle of the hotel lobby. These four women came to Cambodia not really knowing why God had sent them here. On their very first day, they went into the service and met us. God first sent them to empower us.

Saying goodbye after dinner I knew this would not be our last interaction with them. WHOAA! Tonight Kristen and Keturah came home anxious to tell us what God did.  Had someone came and told me one year ago the exact thing they told me today, I would have never believed it. But when Kristen read me her blog, God showed me a vision of the exact happening and I knew it to be truth. 

There was another divine encounter with those four women today. In the middle of a coffee shop our new Indian friend, LINEY DIED. God used the OBEDIENCE and prayers of Kristen, Pastor D, Carrye and Michelle to bring her back to life.

I can’t do this story justice, so please read all about it on Kristen’s blog. http://kristenpaulick.theworldrace.org/?filename=normal-coffee-and-raising-the-dead
