oh no WAY day.

hey remember when i said i had a really spiritual day that one day? flip this day was in comparison... started out normally.. minus the absence of meals, since i had been fasting since supper yesterday! the longest i've gone.. it was.. not nearly as hard as i thought it would be. God provided strength and filled my body when food didn't. i was so happy an receptive today.. which i think what was God wanted, cuz i felt prompted to fast, but didn't actually want too, but had several confirmations that i needed too. kristen.. rims and his hebrews 12:11... so yeah. it was ON! and God was on. in the morning instead of breakfast me'n kristen and nick were in the prayer room... an we just prayed, talked, chilled out in the presence of God... twas a good pre-morning lecture morning. then during cabin worship we just finished working on the girls surprise, which had been in the process of being planned since they blessed the crap out of us last week. amen to those amazing girls...
so we just went on into lectures with baryll again.. she equipped us with more tools to fight satan with (did you know communion is a major one? i didn't and i felt like.. hey... thats pretty frikken awesome... we have authority.) and so lectures up until ministry felt pretty enabling... then ministry started and we prayed for a bit.. everybody went up again and got prayed for .. and this time ji-won started manifesting because she had bad childhood agreements when her father was dying of cancer.. i dunno it wasn't as bad as the other one i witnessed but it was still pretty intense. this time we had our whole class surrounding her and all praying out with boldness, and we couldn't send it out so we bound it and tried to let ji-won rest (baryll said tryin to get a demon out is suuuuper tiring for the person being tormented) so i went and started laying out the clues for our sister's scavenger hunt. (in the MEANTIME ji-won started manifesting again and there was shouting and screaming but she got big time deliverance.. there is still some things she needs to get out but our precious ji-won was back as herself again by afternoon)
AND THEN we let the lovely ladies out on their scavenger hunt. it took about 45 minutes and then they were back in the a-frame with us so we could pray over them. and then we had communion with them (oh YES). substituting for the body of christ, was dark and milk chocolate. taking over for the precious blood, was milk. were so unified.. lots of love. they prayed for us too, which was raaaaaaaaad cuz it wasn't expected. so yeah, they day went on. tuesday is the day we go to the skatepark to minister to the kids (and by minister i mean hang out an skate with them.. my shins are tattered cuz i'm trying to get kickflips down. i suck.)
BUT THEN i came home, ready to jump into prayer (cuz lunch fasting prayer was.. nullified by deliverance and settin up the blessing scavenger hunt) and i found my good brother nick in there. so we started praying together a bit... then ji-won and sylvia came in and joined our circle. we prayed for a bit (korean style, cuz i guess ji-won an sylvia had been praying together every day for the last.. many days and thats how they did it (LOUD too... was sweet)) and then when we were done ji-won looked at me and told me she had a verse for me. (ps i hadn't found a reason why i was fasting yet, i just felt prompted and it had felt right, and i was in the process of asking God why he wanted me to fast) it was jeremiah 33:3, umm i think it said 'call upon my name and i will show you great and mighty things that you have not seen before' but she said the emphasis was on calling out his name. and that i was supposed to do that. which sucked cuz i knew i was supposed too, and i love being quiet. but hey... God works.. so after s'more chattin nick threw out the idea that we should be shouting praise to God and yelling things we wanted Him to give to us. we couldn't do it straight away with no music, and just before nick asked 'what should we listen too?' i thought underoath would be soothing. he said thats who he was thinking about too, so we started blasting underoath, and starting yelling praises and questions, and we each wrestled with God. it was so amazing... my arms when really numb, and the more i prayed the more they went numb (pins an needles numb... flippin hurt!) and when i tried to be quiet i just ended up getting louder and more passionate. there was a time when i stopped and looked at the clock on the wall and thought 'sure why not' so i started to pray for time, that we wouldn't be contained by it and that God would freeze it in this moment so that we could just not worry about things in the future and just focus on praising him.. so i just went back yelling and ranting and asking ( i never got anything mental or downright revelationary but it was still good just to break some inner shells and scream unabashedly to my savior) and then about 15 minutes later i looked back at the clock and it had stopped. like... the same time it was after i prayed for it. (since clearly looking at the clock, i had remembered where the time was located) and the second hand was ticking but not going anywhere. sooooo i started laughing saying thats rediculous! oh man! and the prayer was pretty much over... open meeting was starting so nick had to book it. but man... cool things.. cool things... an hour of screaming does wonders for the soul. go scream and yell! i felt calm after that and thought fasting could be done. celebratory yogurt and oatmeal were had.
