Hey Yo Part of Cambo!

Alright sorry it has taken me so long to write about my ventures in Cambodia... Just been settling back in to life in AZ these last 2 weeks....

We arrived in Cambodia around August 6th or so after being in South Korea for a week and a half. Let me tell ya, from the minute we arrived in Cambodia we knew we were about to experience something we've never experienced before. We went to different villages throughout our trip within Preah Vear and Kratie, and also stayed in Siem Reap for a few days. 

We visited a local church and spoke about how Jesus is Healer and told people to come forward if they needed healing anywhere in their bodies. Around 15 people came forward looking for healing all throughout their bodies- anywhere from chronic migraines to bad knees- People needed healing! I prayed for an older lady who suffered from bad migraines, pressure on her chest, bad sight in one eye, and was near deaf in both ears. Prayed for Jesus to touch her body and take away all pain and she said she felt a little better but was still feeling pain.

 Over in Cambodia (and obviously in America too), there are many ways people put trust in other things to help them that are only temporary or just don't help at all- for instance, many believe in Buddha and practice certain "good luck" rituals to help them out when challenges arise. Many wear red bracelets that are a part of Buddhist tradition to give them good luck and blessings.
 
This woman was wearing one of these bracelets and putting her trust in Buddha to provide healing. Through a translator, We talked to her about how Jesus is the one who will heal her, and that this bracelet will not help her. She took off her bracelet, which had like a million ties in it, and we prayed for her again. We prayed off all other religion that she previously put her trust in and she said she wanted to trust Jesus. We asked her how her body felt, and she said that her vision was restored as well as her hearing, She also felt a "refreshing" throughout her body- she said she no longer had pressure on her chest or any headaches!! It was incredible! Praise the Lord!

That day every person who came in sick and hurting left healed of their infirmities!

Just as it is said throughout the Bible, when Jesus came to earth:

Matthew 8:17 “…Himself took our INFIRMITIES and bare our sickness.”
Luke 5:15 “…multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their INFIRMITIES”
Luke 7:21 “And in the same hour he cured many of their INFIRMITIES, and plagues, and of evil spirits.”
Luke 8:2 “…which had been healed of evil spirits and INFIRMITIES.”
Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit help our INFIRMITIES: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought.”

By faith in Jesus as the one, true God, and praying in His name- these miracles are promised to all today!

This was one account of healing of the many we saw occur by the power of Jesus through our team.


So big surprise- my mind was blown again and again on this trip. I realized how powerful God is and how much He loves His people!! All over the world, God wants to be with His people, heal His people, all because of his abounding LOVE!

I've never known such a love, and have never experienced it until my time doing Catalyst.
& I've gotta say my life will never be the same.

I began Catalyst with disbelief, hardness of heart, confusion, brokenness, among many of my problems. Aaaaaand God totally met me, took my hand and guided me through all the hurt and all of the stubbornness and declared me as His own. As soon as I agreed with the truth of who God claims to be and gave up control- surrendering my agenda, my flimsy ups and downs, and all expectations to how life should go-

I finally received what I've been wanting and trying to get all along - Freedom! There's nothing like the freedom that God gives. It's not limited in any way- it's pure freedom.
God has got me!-And life is so much better when you've got the Creator of all that ever was and is in your side. He's got a wayyyyy better plan than I could've ever come up with- I mean He sent me to freakin' Cambodia and South Korea last month! Haha

Dude, come be blessed sons and daughters of the Most High with me.
He won't force His love on you, but when you use your free will to choose the One who has loved you all along (and gave you the free will to begin with), you won't regret it and God will meet you wherever your at.

He LOVES you. Seriously.
