We Will Be Used!!!

Oh Jesus Jesus Jesus how so very happy I am to be apart of this sign team! Sunday 6-26-11 was a very special night for me anyways. I had been told by another member that she believed that I was going to be used without a doubt in her mind for God. Well Sunday night I finally realized that it was true!

Sunday night, was an explosion that I am so glad I was there for! We started service as usual, welcome guests, few words, Bible reading etc. then song service came. Once we started singing everyone started heading down front towards the alter. I could tell something was about to happen. I could feel it, I kept waiting and waiting and waiting yet nothing BIG happened,yet. But I didn't loose hope, I could still feel it. As Bro. Nathan came forward to start preaching I was ready for what he had. With what I felt I was on the edge of my seat. As he winds up the preaching he didnt slow down in his voice like usual. He told the musicians to come to the platform. When they did I noticed that they started some fast music, I could tell what was about to happen. By that point my shoes were off and everyone was headed back down front. After praying with another friend all the way down front for about 10 min. I turned around and saw a fellow team member and something just told me to go back there. So while still speaking in tongues, I made my way through all of the shouting young ladies. Once I got back there I realized who they were praying for, Miss Paula Brackenridge. I had been told just the day before that she was going through some stuff and to be prayin for her. Along with Elizabeth Kane, was Kaitlyn Morgan and Ashley Ezell praying with her. She was bent over crying and praying in the Holy Ghost. Well, Paula was already surrounded on the sides and I couldnt get behind her so I just did what I felt and grabbed her shoulders and bent my head down to be even with her. When I did I dont know what happened but I couldnt talk normal for about 15 min. I was already speaking in tongues but when I layed my hands on her and started praying, something just came over me and I couldnt stop even if I tried. With both of us almost falling down, I just couldnt hold on anymore. Ashley had to catch me and lay me down on a pew beside her. Well, needless to say I didnt stay there very long. I got back up and went right back to where I was. I layed my hands on her and didnt stop. While we were praying Kaitlyn put her hands on Paula's head and started praying some more. By that point we all wound up sitting on the floor. And I thank God for it!! Never have I prayed for someone and wound up layed out. Finally about 15 min. later we start coming back to where we were. We had a total of two layed out while praying for Paula, Kaitlyn and myself. Later that night, I got a message from Kaitlyn that finally made it sink in completely that God was going to use me and that I was a chosen vessel. While reading that tears came to my eyes and had flashbacks the entire night to that moment while praying for her. Paula also told me that I helped her through whatever she was going through well that just made me tear up even more.

Long story short..... we WILL BE USED by God weather the Devil likes it or not! He cant stop us now. Were on warpath and he will NOT win. This sign team is something God had planned for us, and to be used. Not to be made then destroyed.

* Paula, I dont know what you were going through, but my dear its over with! God has it dealt with. If it may not look like it right now, its all clear. Just remember the Devil will try to attack people who are deep in love with God and the church and His truth. The Devil sees you as a threat and he doesnt like it. Well then you know what, just keep doin what your doin! Whatever problems or trials you have in your life, give it to God and He will bring you peace in the midst of the storm. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!!! He has nothing on you. He may have Hell and all of Hell's angles, but YOU have the Holy Ghost living inside of you and the Bible with His word, sharper than a two edged sword is your weapon. No match against you and Hell can stand.

Love you Paula!!
*and a BIG thank you to Kaitlyn for helping me finally get it deep down in me that i will be used :) and thank you for helping me pray for her:) love you Kaitlyn!

Steadfast,Walk by Faith, and Wait!!!

Through your life, you may come into situations where you don't know what to do but to pray. Well, my friend that is all you NEED to do! God has it in control!

This past Sunday night service at church ( 6/5/2011 ) everything was going great. Singing,praying,Bible verse (which they would preach from) etc. As we were called up for choir we all went. As we started singing I looked out and saw everybody start flooding the alter. Yes hands lifted, crying, but not the sad way. I could tell something was about to happen. I looked over at the girls side and i don't know how but i found Kaitlyn as soon as I looked over there. She was praying and I felt like I needed to be down there with her. So our song ended.... but God wasn't. As the choir headed back down, with everyone still praying, the praise singers started singing " Jesus Said It!" And thank you Jesus they did! I made my way over to a fellow member Elizabeth and friend Paula. Paula was already hunched over crying. As she stood we started shouting and here comes miss Kaitlyn Morgan she joined up with Elizabeth and Paula and it was like a little electric chain. When she joined up with us, I couldn't help but cry. I looked over at Kaitlyn and she was speaking in tongues, and crying. Just about falling over, slightly leaned forward. I was praying with Elizabeth, but something told me to go and grab onto her. So I let go off Elizabeth and went and stood in front of Kaitlyn and grabbed her shoulders well that didn't last long before I finally just grabbed her hand. After that everything just let go! After already crying I just started balling, with my mouth moving at about 100 miles per hour and no reason to stop speaking in tongues, I just let God move and use me. THANK YOU JESUS!! After Paula, Elizabeth, and I praying with Kaitlyn for about 45 min. we had all received a renewing in the Holy Ghost, and received a GREAT blessing. But the night was far from being over. Still crying and speaking in tongues we all just stood there with her for about another 5-10 min. Then we finally gathered ourselves. We all gave her a hug and just let her know that we loved her. Later that night I sent Kaitlyn about a two page text, telling her that I don't know what she is going through, but God has it in control! She had told me that she had heard that a few times about this and she said that this must be a confirmation. I just told her she doesn't have to worry anymore, God said it was ALL in control of Him. She told me that next day, thank you for letting God use you last night and that when comes to pass to be ready to run the isles with her. Well that just made me smile :)

If there is any problem, situation,trouble,etc. that you go through, give it to God and you will receive!!


Love you Kaitlyn!!
