I am at home – have not hit the streets in ages!! Decide to go out – hear God say legs and arms, ha ha...see absolutely no bummed legs or arms but continue missioning.
Come across a group of cleaning staff and really just feel, well I’m just gonna jump out there and offer prayer...and lead them to tell me about their aches and pains...wow man, this stuff is fun!!
Ended up praying for better jobs and one of the lady’s was healed – bad back if I remember correctly.
TESTIMONY TIME (personal stuff)
So I was in east London from 8 Sep to 13 Sep. Wow...I spent less than zero time in the word. This year has just been so busy and there are times when my walk has been supernaturally easy and it’s like I’m being carried, but then there are those times that I am just like whatever – this trip home was one of them.
Spent no time in the word...fell in various areas but testimony of God’s grace – I was able to just get back up – but its the whole yo-yo vibe – fall, repent, fall, repent...until you fall so hard you just grab the word and don’t stop reading till temptation goes back to...well...hell!!
I got an opportunity on the Friday to bless a jobless man with baby food. I had fifty rand in my hand to go buy snacks and stuff when this guy, Jonathan comes up t me and explains how he and his wife are struggling to find employment and they have a 3 month old...I was listening and all and then he spoke up about the baby food and how it cost R49.95 – I though what...never given a ‘beggar’ that much before, but hey I got this fifty and it cant be a coincidence. So we mission down to Spar and we chatting and stuff – oh yeah, by this time I had forgotten about snacks, I mean really...I havnt seen a gym in over a month...ha ha.
So as we walking I am asking him about life and he keeps asking me to organise him a job – I respond I have nothing, cause I just would not know now...wow, typing this though I feel guilty, I mean I could make a plan. So anyway he casually mentions how he has not eaten in 3 days...WHAT!!??!! I feel my Spirit say cool, baby food and buy the family some supplies...spent R80 on a stranger that day...but is he really a stranger? Looking at the world through God’s eyes we will start seeing things like they should be...there’s scripture in early new testament speaking of how God provides all we need – clothes, food etc and in James about if you have the means to bless a brother you cant just tune ‘okay bless you...by’!! This was pretty cool...learnt some lekka lessons and all honour to JESUS!!
Sunday in church – morning service – awesome!! Russian couple, wife is preaching...ever experienced Holy Spirit filled fire driven Russians...WOW!!? During worship get a word of knowledge God wants to set people free whom have suffered strokes...release the word...and s i l e n c e !! Ha ha...Lord!! Ah well...after the service two people respond...amen!! Such a lesson in pride...massive lesson...its about obedience and risk.
Then get a second word about someone in a red jacket needing prayer...dont find the person till...

Back in Port Elizabeth driving past the airport...Spirit says red jacket in the airport...GO!!
Okay cool, so mission into the airport and true as bob...there he is. Only one red jacket in the whole place and so was able to pray a blessing over this dude, Ross from Namibia going back to Rhodes, Grahamstown – student @ varsity...cool!!

Just visiting a friend at his apartment and we walk out of his building, there’s a woman – mid fifty’s I suppose waiting by the door to be let in when I feel moved by the Spirit we have to offer her prayer.
So we back up and start speaking to her, we ask if she needs prayer and she responds saying her daughter’s leg is badly hurt. We lay hands on her and pray.
Monday 22 September 2009 – as we are walking out of my friend’s flat again, the supervisor stops us and asks if we are the gentlemen whom prayed for the lady...I got a bit nervous...we said yes, he said well...THERE HAS BEEN DRASTIC CHANGE...wow Jesus...never in a blue moon was I ever expecting to hear a report back on this prayer...I just have faith her leg is healed cause my Jesus don’t leave you half healed!!
Friday 18 – Sunday 20 September 2009 (will add more about this later)

Friend comes over for coffee, we have some muffin tart...yes...finish laughing...its a muffin in a tart format...it was wow.
After finishing about ¾ of it, I feel the urge to hit the streets quick quick – hear the Spirit speak of 6 slices, cut up the tart and go not too far from home and talk about Jesus a lil and the word I got about 6...ha ha, we had 6 guys there...till Jacqueline appeared from nowhere...she started beating her husband up...uhm...awkward...five minutes later she came back and asked for prayer...her ankle was healed, she had been in an accident. Also saw a knee healed...praise Jesus!!
That night...hit Sasol in Summerstrand – release the glory and saw another ankle healed and just prayed a blessing over some people.
HARD CORE TESTIMONY TIME
It is easy to become complacent, and when a friend comes up to you and says well Ryan, I see you losing your fire...its like you wanna choke!! But...when you spending enough time with Jesus (24/7)...its rather hard to become complacent!! FAITH + ACTIONS...this is what God is speaking to me these days...Rev 3:20 Here I am, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
Whats the significance of such a simple verse...Jesus wants in...let Him in!!
This is how I feel the Spirit lead me to break it down (like understanding...not hip hop)
1. Jesus announces Himself at our heart’s door & knocks – God always gives us a choice, hence why Jesus is not just like rushing in;
2. We need to hear and discern His voice – by living a righteous life and keeping our spiritual ears open and clean;
3. FAITH & ACTION = hear + open;
4. Then He will come in - a promise;
5. Then Jesus comes in and engages with us (eat with him) and he allows us-AS WE ARE-to engage with him (and he with me).
I was born again in May 2008 – baptised in the Spirit – July 2008 – baptised in water Sep 2008 – experienced the fire April 2009...and somehow I started to run dry till the Josh Gen weekend...God spoke to me about LOVE...loving others through Him & now I am making sure I spend decent amount of time in the word...God’s Word...our Sword!!
The Holy Spirit is fun, but we need the word in our walks as well!! Father, Spirit and Son live in absolute unity...the perfect relationship...how can we want to keep on separating them...are you nuts!!?? Ha ha but seriously...Jesus loves you...and I love you cause Jesus loves you!!
Hope you enjoying my blogs...I actually wanna know what you think – are you being encouraged...or do you think I have lost the plot:
