Gold dust! Miracles! Whaaa?!?

I’m sorry if this doesn’t makes sense…my brain is kinda flipping out right now…

Are you ready for some crazy stories?!?!? I still can’t believe it!!! Ok so tonight is Monday and we were supposed to found out our out reach choices but instead something insane happened. So we stared by watching a movie/documentary about miracles and faith and stuff like that. But it was all stuff that I had never seen before, very supernatural. It started with a church service in which some pretty amazing things happened. People were falling over at the presence of the Spirit. Black fillings in teeth were turned to gold. A preacher suddenly had gold dust all over him as he was speaking. Manna appeared inside a bible and much, much more. Then the movie moved on to people being healed. People who were deaf could now hear. People who were mute could now talk. People with chronic pain now moved freely. And even though all this is happening and I saw it all on the screen, I was still very skeptic. My thoughts were this exactly. “I won’t believe until I see it in real life.” Well, God took that literally.

After the movie, we were getting ready to talk about out reach when a man in our class starts to cry. We look over at him and he is COVERED IN FREAKING GOLD DUST. Over his hands, arms, shirt, pants, everywhere was little flecks of gold! His wife sitting next to him had it on her skirt too. There are about 60 eyewitnesses, mind you, so this could not be made up. After we all saw it, our leader, Andrew, felt like we should pray for those who need healing. So 2 guys who needed healing went up to the front of the room. One was a guy leader who need his shoulder healed and the other had scoliosis and constant lower back pain. As we prayed for them, I started praying hard core. “God, this is exactly what I asked for. Show me it is REAL.” And He sure did. The one with the painful shoulder could twirl his arm all the way around and the other one with the back pain was running and jumping and singing praises to God because the pain was completely gone!

WAIT! There is even more! After that a lot more people raised their hands for healing. As I sat next to Lauren, who raised her hand, she told us that her legs were different lengths and that she had horrible knee pain. She stuck her legs straight out and sure enough, the right leg was shorter than the other. A leader, Kat, come over and held them and told us to start praying because they WERE going to be fixed. As we all focused and prayed, we watched her legs. This is the craziest thing I have ever seen. HER RIGHT LEG ACTUALLY GREW. I could NOT believe it. I literally saw a leg grow right before my eyes to perfectly match the other one. Then we moved to the knees and prayed and prayed and prayed for the pain to be gone. By the time we were done, she was running and jumping and kneeling because her knees were 100% healed! INSAAAAAANE!!!! SO much more has happened but this were the ones I saw first hand.

Now, lets all remember that I am human. The human part of me could not believe it. Literally. I was thinking, “this is somehow a trick, this can’t be real, bones just don’t grow because you pray about it. “ But I am so wrong. Who am I to say what God can and can not do? Even if I still felt disconnected for some reason as I saw all this happen, doesn’t make it any less real. We as humans have to CHOOSE to believe that this is real. We have to CHOOSE to trust that God can do crazy things like make bones grow or straighten a spine or sprinkle gold dust on someone.

So what is your choice? Are you ready to choose to believe in a God who is good and shatters the boxes that we put Him in? Are you ready to choice to live for a God who loves us and heals us and blesses us even though we disobey and don’t always honor him? No matter what we have EVER done or will EVER do, he will loves us forever. Lets choose Him, guys. It is totally worth it.
