Not By Might But Spirit

Much watch video!! Not by might or flesh but by the power of the spirit.

God told me to upload this video. It’s so powerful.

I went to South Africa with $20 in my pocket. I was on the streets of New Zealand with $5. It was the spirit of God that gave me directions and the power.

You can’t afford it? Great.

You don’t have strength? Great.

You don’t have talents? Great.

Not by might or flesh but by the power of the Holy Spirit.

When I’m following Jesus and ministering, I’m not relying on my connections, ability, people I know or the money I have, I’m relying on the power of the Holy Spirit and the risen Christ within me!

Many times God does not want me to reach out to people I know at a country not because He doesn’t want people to help me, but because He wants to get all the glory! Because His ways are not my ways! And so He closes the doors that may cause others to think “oh I helped her that’s why she survived and thrived”, no God wants it to be so unique and out of nowhere that no one gets the glory but God!

I spent one year overseas last time and only got hosted by one person that I knew. The other hosts were people I prayed for or met while on the road and there was always a purpose for these divine connections. He brought me to deliver a prophetic word or healing while He provided for me through the hosts.

His ways are mysterious and I challenge you to step out in faith and do the impossible things with God.

He wants all the glory! Let no man/woman get the glory!!!

Today I’ll be heading out again on a supernatural spirit led journey with Jesus. I want to see the lame walk, the blind see and cancers healed.

I hear God say “my people rely too much on what they can do instead of what I can do”. That’s a spirit of lack. But when you know the living Christ is in you, all things are possible.

Was it hard? Yes it’s hard to let go of control. That’s where all the stress comes from- but I heard God say “don’t lose your position trying to fix things when you need to be fighting battles spiritually”.

You are enough. The devil makes you think you don’t have enough when He’s thwarting you with every weapon, but no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Stay at peace and rebuke the devil.

Heading Out Tomorrow

Hey friends- tomorrow I’ll be heading out from San Francisco to Bangkok. It’s a 77 hour trip with a night layover in LA and a layover in Tokyo. I’ll be in Thailand for a week then heading to India. The countries God has highlighted on the list is Mongolia, Bhutan, Mayanmar, Sri Lanka, China, etc.

So far I have not raised funds for the trip as funds were used towards what I needed in San Francisco, visas/flights for India. I know and believe God will provide for the vision and the ministry He has built. I am living day by day in faith financially and I’m leaving tomorrow!

I am out looking for the clouds that are forming and am believing the same for those that have been in a drought.

Today there is an opportunity to sow into the new move of God.

This is my second year in full time ministry. I have dedicated my life to Jesus by selling everything to follow Him. It has not been without challenges, there are too many to recall. Yet everyone of you who has sown, prayed and interceded for me is essential to souls being reached for Jesus or a lost sheep coming back to Jesus.

Consider giving to the harvest of souls TODAY. Not tomorrow. Today.

Thank you so much and may the Lord bless you abundantly!

Would You Send Me?

We’ve just begun”- God said.

I’m like…oh great.

I have moments of being paralyzed by fear. I returned to LA and rested for 3 weeks but then He said when I got to San Francisco, it’s time to go to India.

To be honest I was deeply wounded by some people I ministered to especially towards the end in Samoa. I was frightened by the judgment and rejection I went through. But I know that thousands of lives were touched and I know it’s just begun.

Thus began the second year of ministry.

He said I need to start fundraising again.

The other day an Airbnb host asked me “why Jesus?” I said because Jesus is the only one who took on sin, death and suffering on His body and rose again so that we are no longer under the reign of death but resurrection!

We get to rest in His finished work and receive all that He has paid for on the cross including eternal life, health and in filling of the Holy Spirit!

I need your help and partnership today. I could really use the funds right now even in San Francisco as I rest and have divine encounters before flying to Bangkok July 3- then flying to Delhi July 12.

I need your help as my readers and supporters. I can’t do this alone. I actually don’t like fundraising because I’m at risk of rejection and judgment but I know what I’m doing is important- so many missionaries are getting kicked out of china and various countries but I’m going, no matter what it looks like.

Because I can’t do anything else, I’m sold out to Jesus at this point.

I thought I was returning to LA to continue there but God said-no, you’ve just begun- and He started telling me the countries I’d be going to….Sri Lanka, Bhutan, India, China…etc.

As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Romans 10:10

Will you send me? So that I can lay hands on people and see the dead walk? The lame able? The blind see? Hearts healed?

I prophesy a year of miracles and wonders!

I know I can’t do anything on my own, I have no energy of my own either, I’m utterly useless without the power of Jesus empowering me!

Consider sowing a seed or becoming a monthly partner! I pray for those that partner with me!

Even if it’s just $10 or $20, it would help loads. At this point I’m in sf and can afford one more night here. Keep me and help me answer God’s call continuously! Even $5 helps.

People pleasers and people abusers

In unhealthy relationships there is often a people pleaser and a people abuser. A people abuser will take advantage of the people pleaser who feels inadequate and over give and help to please the abuser.

Since I struggled with people pleasing, I often felt burdened on my shoulder, it was a physical pain that indicated I was shouldering too much. Now I realize when the pain hits. Sometimes I’m too slow to recognize it and it takes awhile to recover.

A people pleaser is just as responsible for his or her pain as an abuser! If they have the choice and freedom to say no they’ve voluntarily submitted themselves to be abused.

But then I’ll have to say “I am not responsible for peoples’ problems!” I was repeating this just now at target as I felt responsible to explain my story and have someone understand it. But I felt like I was striving and not resting so I decided to go for a stroll to clear my mind.

The Airbnb host gave me a backpack for my trip to India (I’m going to India folks!) and at first I liked it but when I looked inside there was some stuff in it, dirt and hair.

And I realize I probably won’t enjoy using a used backpack, because it doesn’t feel like mine.

Now when I returned from target I returned the backpack and said “I realize it’s not suitable for my trip thank you!”

In the past I would’ve felt bad and maybe given it to a homeless person, but I realized that I needed to be honest and that was me practicing honesty.

Be in tune with your body and emotions, when do you feel like you’re pushing it and it’s stressing you out- you’re striving!

God’s peace is wonderful and you should experience that even when He asks you to run.

Emotional Vulnerability

I lived the earlier part of my life avoiding confrontation.

I mean I let people step on me. People thought I was the forgiving and forgetful type but the truth is no one is. Everyone gets hurt. My high school best friend dated a guy I went out with and dumped without telling me.

I heard about it from someone else.

She got dumped by him later on, and the whole time I knew but didn’t tell her, and she never mentioned it.

5 years later I’m at a retreat and God says “you’ve got to confront her”. So I had a meeting with her. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

“So I know this was 5 years ago but when you started dating my ex I was hurt that you didn’t tell me”.

She said “I thought you’re the forgiving type”.

I was way too loving. I mean, maybe I was so giving that people thought I had no feelings.

This came from a childhood of mommy pleasing. She was dramatic in her emotions. I mean she had a right to be right? A single mother raising two kids on her own.

So I catered to her, took care of her, made space for her emotions….and brushed mine aside. There was no room for my negative emotions so I became the sun in the sky, the cheer in the room, I brightened up every room to cover the pain and darkness in my own heart.

But I was not okay.

And no one really asked. They loved me, or they liked that I only helped them. I didn’t bring toxic energy to the table, only laughter.

But I was drained, exhausted.

One day I returned home sobbing.

I was teaching Sunday school, doing worship and leading youth group.

I was exhausted from doing and not being.

I rested for two years when God intentionally asked me to but suddenly felt caught up in the doing recently. I had to slow down. I had just traversed the world and my legs were sore, my shoulders ached and my heart ached even more.

Ministry wounding is a real thing. You pour out your heart to people but you often don’t get anything in return.

Instead you get poked with a sword, or some kind of back stabbing tool.

The sheep bite.

Recently I realized that I was addicted to overhelping and it drained and exhausted me. Deep down I felt like if I wasn’t helping someone I wasn’t worthy of love or that people would abandon me.

I have a family history of people walking away from me. And perhaps me walking away from people too because they’re so critical.

Grace means you receive something you didn’t work for and I realize I started working to receive versus just receiving.

In order to just receive, you have to rest and to let go.

And freely receive.

How about you?

Are you an overhelper?

I pray this post brings revelation to your spirit and healing as well.

Today I told my friend that something she did hurt me. When’s the last time you told someone they hurt you?

That’s emotional vulnerability.

Honesty. Then she told me things that she’s never told me. That’s the kind of friendship I want, honest friendships, not the people pleasing type.

I read recently that when you’re an overhelper you tend to say yes then resent that person later. I don’t want anyone to help me out of obligation and vice versa.

I think we are almost about to meet our life partners – some of you out there, singles.

These lessons teach us how to communicate in our relationships.

Much love xoxo

God Is A Good Father

I didn’t grow up with my father, he was emotionally and physically absent.

Somehow it was easier to become close to Heavenly Father because my father was absent. God comforted me through my first painful breakup. He was there when times got tough. He was there when I needed comfort. He was always there for me.

But I also found it hard to trust God at times when I experienced pain. I started hearing and sensing God when I was a child. Then when I was 12 I accepted Jesus into my heart. Some of life’s hurdles makes us question whether God is truly good.

I could hear Him then. It wasn’t a big booming voice but a voice from within my mind. I was always very sensitive to noise growing up. Because God had attuned my ears to Him everything else was loud and obnoxious.

I find silence absolutely delightful.

A lot of my friends have dysfunctional or absent fathers. Similar to me, they had to fend for themselves financially growing up and there is usually an insecurity about provision or an insecurity about being loved for who they are. What happens is codependent friendships.

What God has taught me is that friendships aren’t for every season as there are seasons that God needs you to trust Him alone, not the people in your life.

This season God is calling us forward to not rely so much on what we’ve seen but to go again stepping on water.

Satan loves to deceive believers into thinking God is mean.

God is a good father, His heart is to bless you. He has no judgement against you as Jesus has already taken the judgement on His being.

You are free from judgement!

You are free indeed!

If He is a good father- then that means He is excited to reveal big plans for you, He has the best plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

He is proud of you. He will never leave nor forsake you!

Do you believe He is a good father??

Do you believe He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you?

Say yes to God today!

I am now raising funds to reach souls for Jesus as the Holy Spirit leads- countries I’ll be going to -Taiwan, China, Mongolia, Laos, Thailand, etc wherever spirit leads. Consider sowing a seed or becoming a monthly partner! Thank you in advance and I look forward to getting to know you as well!

Tactics Of The Enemy

Today I want to write a few tactics of the enemy.

One I noticed significantly is that he sends a spirit of lack to attack you to make you feel like you are not good enough or have enough. Usually it’s right before you are embarking onto a breakthrough or promise God has ordained for you.

A spirit of lack will make you feel tired and worn out. It makes you feel unworthy. Then you’ll start noticing people who have a comfortable life than you and wonder why God seems to have forgotten you.

Satan then whispers lies to you that you shouldn’t follow Jesus because look at all the hardships you had to go through.

When the battles came from Satan’s attacks. Even when I was on the road Satan tried to block donations from coming in. A woman said she tried 3 times to send in a donation through Facebook but it kept bouncing back!

Satan is called a deceiver and a father of lies. He creates lies!

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 
3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ” 
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 
5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:1-5

Satan loves to lie and turn things against God.

I want to let you know God is good! His plans are to prosper and to flourish you not to harm you!

If He asks you to give something up it’s because He knows you’ve become enslaved to it and He only desires freedom for you!!!

I keep trusting God not because I have a lot of faith, it’s because I have nothing but God.

Going Back Out

Click on the photo to follow this page!

I’m going back out overseas. June 24 I’ll be going to SF and continuing on to Thailand, Asia and on.

God has been showing me the places I’m going back to or going to.

This time it’ll look different. I’m not sure how it will look different but I felt a new energy and joy today even as I prophesied over my neighbor.

Here’s where I need all the help I can get.

I feel like the beginning of ministry last year was full of fear and like “God how are you going to do this?” And even though I still have doubts at times, I have much more confidence in God and I know the enemy’s tactics. The enemy has sent attacks recently to shut down my ministry and discourage me from continuing, he tried to lie to me and tell me I should stop doing it as it wasn’t my dream and that’s a lie- because there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing people set free by Jesus!

Vision Of my ministry-

To see people set free from a life of fear and into the fearless life God has called them to, to set captives free, see the sick healed, and to bring the kingdom of God and His gospel of grace to people.

Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of God, the Master, is on me because God anointed me. He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, Announce freedom to all captives, pardon all prisoners. God sent me to announce the year of his grace— a celebration of God’s destruction of our enemies— and to comfort all who mourn, To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them bouquets of roses instead of ashes, Messages of joy instead of news of doom, a praising heart instead of a languid spirit. Rename them “Oaks of Righteousness” planted by God to display his glory. They’ll rebuild the old ruins, raise a new city out of the wreckage. They’ll start over on the ruined cities, take the rubble left behind and make it new. You’ll hire outsiders to herd your flocks and foreigners to work your fields, But you’ll have the title “Priests of God,” honored as ministers of our God. You’ll feast on the bounty of nations, you’ll bask in their glory. Because you got a double dose of trouble and more than your share of contempt, Your inheritance in the land will be doubled and your joy go on forever.

This year I prophesy as you are going to get double for your trouble!!!!

I appreciate all those who have continued to sow into the reaching of souls and setting free of captives. This year God will be doing double through me, as I revisit some places and also visit new places as the Lord leads. Pray about giving today and becoming the hands and feet of God through me.

A few ways you can sow-

You Have The Freedom To Make Mistakes

Asian culture and breaking off the spirit of perfectionism-

In Asian culture, kids are often punished for making the “wrong decisions”, it’s results in crippling fear that prevents adult children from living in freedom. It says there is no fear in love for perfect love casts out fear.

Recently I’d ask God where I should go or who I should hang out with and after I prayed for myself I realize oh where do I want to go and do I want to hang out with that person. I felt crippled by fear because I had spent time with my mom and every wrong move or word resulted in her yelling at me. It made me wary of relationships in general.

I was reminded that’s legalism when we can’t even live always asking God, He wants us to follow our hearts and live in freedom.

We can’t bring in that part of Asian culture into our relationship with God because God does not punish us for making the wrong decisions, He wants us to choose freely and if we don’t like something, He wants us to feel the freedom to change our course.

We shouldn’t feel condemned for changing our minds or choosing something that doesn’t align with peoples’ expectations of us. That is true freedom.

When you feel condemned you overthink things and feel like you have to 100 percent correct instead of living in freedom. You start asking God which way instead of just living but you feel paralyzed by fear so you can’t move forward.

That’s why most people don’t move forward because they think they have to live with their decisions forever and they can’t change it but it’s not true.

Asians might be known for being excellent in things, but they are not known for individuality.

Because the culture praises conformity and perfection versus freedom.

Making the wrong move in Asian countries means social condemnation and familial shame. There is a huge culture of condemnation and I pray God would set these countries free from that demonic stronghold.

I pray Asians would have an understanding of Jesus’ grace.

Because the Holy Spirit is free- not confined to rules and structures.

Journey with me on this path of recovering your heart and dreams friend- sow a seed: thank you!
