I love Victoria!

Here I am in Victoria, having a blast. Man God is moving so much! Kids getting saved. Kids getting sanctified. Kids being baptised in the Holy Spirit. Wow...God is moving.

We are in Victoria putting on a youth weekend so to speak. Friday night was spent getting into relationship with the teens and we did "The Amazing Race"...fear factor style...I kid you not I witnessed people eating pickled octopus, larva, squid, and beetles.

Today began with a pumping meeting, and God totally worked through everything!!! Then we began a day full of teaching and full of Holy Spirit, and God moved. Then my friend Matthew Champ gave a great message on allowing God to fix you, and teens were fixed. Praise the Lord. Thank You for praying.

I love Victoria!

Surprise, Nicole is back!

My apologies for the lack of blogging, one day I will get my act together! So whats been happening with me.

Good question, if anyone has the answer I would love to hear it!

Well my heart has grown hard. Its a shame, I will walk by a young girl being victomised by prostitution and think its normal...I will see my friend sticking a needle in his arm and not cry...why...God please break my heart!!!!

Something else interesting I have realised lately is my lack of evangelism. It seems like a pattern too. When I first got saved I was all about getting others saved...but then after a while focused more on disipleship. When I first did youth ministry I was all about getting kids saved...but then after a while forcused more on disipleship. When I first came to the War Collage I was all about getting neighbors saved...but now I am focusing on disipleship. I need some balance here.

Jesus has been teaching me to look at Him...focus on Him. Sometimes I focus on the work of the enemy more then I focus on the work of Jesus. My 14 year old disiple Hannah teaches me this all the time. When we pray I will often say something like "God please bring justice to Sarah, she is hurt and suffering, the enemy has this assignment on her life and we ask for your strong arm to come and rescure her" Where Hannah will pray like "God thank you for the justice to have brought to Sarah's life allready, thank you that we can see that she isnt suffering as much anymore, thank you for the work you are doing in her life, thank you for resucueing her" I am more humbled everyday.

I figure the enemy wants us to take our eyes off Jesus. Thats his goal. Our strenght comes from looking in the wonderful face of Jesus. Lets stop giving the enemy credit.
