Healing....

So as I walk into what could possibly be the most amazing conference I've ever been to.. that is saying a lot because the retreat I went to that Ed Noble taught at. OH MAN! Talking about the Holy Spirit, opening my eyes to things that were always present but I was ignorant... get me psyched. It actually was one of the first times the whole healing thing came up.
Story:
I was sitting after a talk, and this girl was talking about being really depressed. I was listening and feel empathetic towards her... I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. Listen, listen, listen. "Kellie, if you place your hands on her and command the depression to leave she will not be depressed anymore" -God. Ok, so that hadn't really happened before. I was like thinking... ok, that was weird, but I'll IGNORE it.. and life will go on. (I wouldn't suggest ignoring God... it's generally not a good idea) So back... listen, listen, listen. same thing "Kellie, if you place your hands on her and command the depression to leave she will not be depressed anymore" -God. Ok so this happened like 3-4 times... and I finally was like ok, I guess this is real and good. So I opened my mouth. I said, "_______, God wants to heal you. He wants to take this depression away right now. He is willing to heal you." She looked at me. Then told me she didn't want it to leave. Being Kellie, the people pleaser I am, I said, "Ok." We discussed some other stuff and the night went on. I was later told by a mentory dude that I shouldn't listen to demons, people don't generally want to keep things like that, but oops. Thank goodness for God's grace.
So I have had several stories of that sort:
I'm in the mist of getting deliverance, and after I am cleaned out. PRAISE GOD! My arms started burning and I was told to put my left arm on the leaders shoulder, and God tells me after I do that He will tell me what I need to pray. It's a bit of a trust walk. I wimp out because I don't understand why I would be used the second I am free... like it was a bit confusing for me. I think the leader even asked if someone felt the need to pray over him. Then his wife and him took off. My normal self starts asking people if they were being told to pray and then I tell them what is going on with me. We took off to go down to his place. God told me what to pray over him. I didn't check back up on him so I don't know how it ended, but faith was grown none the less.
The other story that has happened to me is this:
Back at college two years ago, a guy on campus fell into a lake and died. The day they found him I was walking by the lake and saw the ambulances and police. I was minding my own business when God decided to throw me a curve ball. "Kellie, go place your hands on that guy and He will come back to life." Haha, God now that is REAL REAL REAL funny. I am NOT a lunetic!!! Hello.....! I kept walking... I mean I was going to class. A couple steps forward I am told the same thing and I just kept walking this happened multiple times. Then I started getting curious. So I walked up on the MU porch and watched for a bit. I got told the same thing, but this time I was given an exact route to get to the guy like I saw a very distinct line in my minds eye. I was like I can't do that. God do you know what would happen to me if he didn't come back to life like I would be put on the sixth floor. I prayed a bit and then walked to class. I later decided that God was doing some serious faith stretching through that. I'm 100% percent positive the guy would have come back, but God didn't have that in his plan because He knew his servant.
Other than that.. i just have random times sometimes where my arms start burning and I am like, "God, I don't understand."
So all this to say my experience has been... well interesting, but this weekend I get to go to a conference on Healing and I am pumped! I get to hang with some people that are going to understand me and help me grow. So I will blog further on that when I get back.

I've been getting excited about this ministry for awhile. I was talking to a friend last night and she was talking about sharing the gospel. I was like well I want to do it a little different. I want to do it like I picture Jesus did it. He went into an area, healed somebody and people watching that were hurting and such came to Him as Savior. I want people to find Him the same way they use to. I am excited to be His instrument in that, but since I want to do it like Jesus. He usually shared to gospel in some way. So in theory, I am doing the exact same thing that my friend was talking about. I just like to cause unnecessary arguments.. haha not really. I just do it alot on accident.
Another friend, mentioned that she read, I think, about this guy that likes to jump on trampolines like with his beliefs. I tend to lean that direction, but this guy says he has a lot of faithful people around the outside of his trampoline, so that he doesn't jump to high and fall off. I pray that God would put people around me also, so that I don't get lost like a lot of people that get too famous and such. I have faith that people like Joyce Meyers started with good intentions and such, but Satan tempted with money, fame, or something and that caused them to go off the straight and narrow. I want my friends to call me out on things like that; although, I need God to help me accept it well.
It will be interesting in the future like whether God will keep me in the US or send me overseas. I think this gift could be used anywhere. Praise God for grace! I pray that I would let God guide me to where I am supposed to be that is in His will. Indiana, here I come.
