  John, I hope you are bringing all this fire back home with you! I am expecting to visit the third heavens and talk to Jesus during the Intro Orientation on Friday! ;-) No, seriously.

  The burning and shaking I felt returned and has been continual for the past several days. It comes and goes everytime I pray now. The fear and presence of God has been ALL over me. It's amazing. The shaking and burning has been with me for most of this week ever since Monday night. :)
  
  It's so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!

  My life is changed. I can't wait to be in God's presence.. He came to me in so many ways.. Not just during
  worship and prayer. He showed me himself and revealed things to me in the teaching classes. Also, in simple things like telling someone praise God after they got healed that, that saying is just not enough. Saying bless you after Esther sneezed, was just amazing. I shook, trembled, cried out in my sleep that he was coming, spook in tongues and swayed back in forth, in the bathroom even.. Gosh how amazing. I gave my first prochetic word and the young girl who I spoke to, confirmed it. God also gave me visions. Also before this Teen Intensive, a woman from our church gave me a word, deeper.. I prayed about it and wasn't sure what it was all about or what God wanted to show me.. But now i know.. God wants us before him night and day. John taught us so much.. To burn! I haven't stopped and I will not stop... I want more of him and only him.. I will not be satisfied with the lesser things..

  Heyy! That's my sister! ;]
  Wow. So God totally moved this week. A fire was started, and it is nowhere near dwindling. It's burning stronger and stronger with every minute that ticks by. My life wasn't just "affected-" I am permanently changed and the passion for God in my heart is growing and yearning and just intense!
  .......Get up...Brush your teeth........Eat your Wheaties.............CATCH ON FIRE.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  So Sunday is here and the IHOPE-Detroit internship has ended and we are all exhausted from such long days. God is still moving and we are tending the fire. Our local church had the normal services today and then we had the Bowl-a-thon to raise funding for our mission teams. Another event filled day.
  Off to the prayer house for a 7 to 9 shift and look who's there. RED LINE.....
  YES, YES, YES. Tending the fire we will.
  PEACE

  So last week was amazing. the beginning for me was very dry. i actually got everything in the last three days.
  i was very bitter because i wasnt getting any fire or any prophecies in the beginning.
  i think it was the last night john was with us that i let go of all that bitterness.
  i prayed god would give me joy for my friends who were being touched and getting words. and that i would stop thinking about myself because its not about me its about god. and instantly i felt the joy and the love and the peace. it was awesome. and you could literally not wipe the smile off my face.
  it was great.
  and once i stopped worrying soo much about myself and started blessing others god blessed me.
  i learned a lot from this week
  
  all i have to say is
  
  WAKE UP, BRUSH YOUR TEETH, EAT YOUR WHEATIES(froot loops), CATCH ON FIREEEEE:]

  As I was walking around drunk in the spirit I was just loving everybody. Liz Tacoma and Sara Pellerito were sitting on the stage. They called me over and Sara could not stop shaking and was getting hot even though she had goose-bumps. I thought it was great! John had been telling us that if we had a touch of the spirit like tingling or warmth and in this case shaking that we should impart it. I reminded Sara about it and so she asked John who was on the other side of me what she should do. He told her to impart it, and me, always willing to receive a gift from God said, “I’ll take some.” As Sarah began to pray for me I began to get warm too! God changed me in that instant. John prophesied to me about what God was doing in that moment. Hallelujah! I will never be the same again. I will no longer be held captive by what people think about me; my mind is totally changed and calmed. He also said that I would no longer look at myself in the mirror the same. I would from that point on see the fire in my eyes. This has proven itself true. God purged me with His fire miraculously. He not only can, but wants to do the same for you. In the midst of all of this Sara rolled up into a ball on the stage and was praying intensely. Not only was she hot now she was on fire. I want to stress this to you so that you understand. This wasn’t even just fever hot. I held my hand two feet above her and could still feel the heat coming from off of her. I made sure so that I could share this testimony accurately. I prayed for her and the presence of God was so strong on her I had to move across the stage because it was too strong for me to handle. I prayed for her from across the stage for a while before God said it was ok to go back over to where she was. Still, I knew that if I was experiencing what she was I would die. Literally my human body would die for the power of God and me not being prepared to handle it. This is something incredible. As she was praying in tongues it was a clear language untainted by misunderstanding. Not that I could understand it, but that she knew what she was saying and had purpose for it. This is what I discerned. In that moment I knew that she was talking straight to the face of the Almighty God. I told Liz, Carly, and Holly. I looked above Sara and it was almost as if a light was above her. I followed the light with my eyes up and up to where I could almost see to where she was in Heaven. It is only now that I realized this light I saw was a portal into Heaven. Like Jacobs ladder. At this point John came over again and knew that something very important was happening. He prophesied over her. Still I can’t comprehend what truly happened that night. What I do know is that Sara and I will never be the same. She shook with the power of the Holy Ghost for two days after that night and even when we were in the war room praying after those two days she would shake.
  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will see God.
