Missions Trip: Philippines!!!


Hey Friends & Family!!

It’s Josh & Jasmine Greeson, and we’ve just been accepted onto the Philippines Mission Trip Team! The trip will be from March 4-15, 2010. This is one of over 60 missions trips going on during March from Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA, where we are currently 2nd Year students. This trip is especially meaningful to us, given Jasmine’s Filipino heritage. We believe this key will unlock a special realm of authority—and therefore breakthrough—as we go to minister the love of God in power there.

As you may know, the Philippines were recently devastated by flooding that left thousands dead, sick or homeless. We believe God has orchestrated this trip at this particular time—to breathe fresh life into the nation through key Divine appointments.

The trip will split up into three teams and go to different areas and participate in a variety of ministry opportunities. We could be doing a lots of things—from visiting those living in the infamous Smoky Mountain trash dump, to big cities, islands, and rural areas--from Christian areas to regions of heavy Muslim influence.

We’ll reach the unsaved, and train the saved. We’ll activate local churches in living a supernatural lifestyle through prophetic and power evangelism. We will be partnering with Jesus to heal the sick everywhere we go, seeing God consistently confirm the Word with signs and miracles following! We even have an invitation to possibly come into government offices and release the Kingdom’s influence there.


We’ll minister in orphanages, hospitals, prisons, churches, villages, on the street…God is going to do some amazing things—Souls will be saved, bodies will be healed, captives will be set free by the power of God, and Christians will be activated and equipped to advance the Kingdom of God. Would you please be a part of making this all happen?
The trip will cost us $5400 minimum (total for both of us). About half of the money is due in December! We are currently “starving students” and could really use your help!. This trip will be a HUGE practical part of our ministry education, so we are writing to ask for your financial support in getting us on to this amazing trip.

Treasure Hunts 10-31-09

Everything blue and in quotation marks were the exact words of knowledge we received and wrote down on our maps before going to downtown Chico.

Got out of our car, and had three encounters with our Treasures before we got past the first building, a bar named “The Brick Works”… which had brick walls.

* “brick wall” “bar”– “yellow shoes” “Mickey” (Dressed as Mickey Mouse) Prayed quickly for a job for him.

* “brick wall” “bar” “multi-colored hair” “Justin” “stomach” (colitis)– Healing prayer..? Pain left and he attributed it to the “placebo effect”.. had an interesting brief conversation with him. His friend said to take our “church stuff somewhere else” because it was “bull” then I asked him was he a musician and did he play the guitar and he said “Yes, so what? How did you know that?” and took off with Justin in tow.

* “brick wall” “bar” “geisha” “white face” “right ankle” (Kyle) – 100% healed. He was already a believer and said he wasn’t out partying, but wanted to dress up with his friend Spencer who was dressed as a Mormon bike missionary kid, just to wander around and have some fun. He was very surprised and happy about his ankle.

Got down the street and saw these two leaning against another “brick wall”…

* “brick wall” “Captain Morgan” “anxiety” “Nurse” “Purple Glitter” “back pain from shorter leg” “Scoliosis” (Shay & Nikki)... Nikki’s right leg was recently measured by X-ray and was about an inch shorter than the left one. As a result she had a lot of back pain and also had scoliosis. We had her sit on the bus bench and we had Shay (also a Christian like Nikki) command it to grow in Jesus’ Name and before we could say “Happy Halloween” it grew out in front of his face. Then we had her stand up, she bent over and touched her toes and the ground and said that 100% of the pain in her back had disappeared. Gave her a card in hopes that she has a new set of X-rays done to show the miracle in its glorious detail.

Looked inside of a bar and there was this guy…

* “bar” “all red” (red long johns neck to toe) “brown cowboy hat” “Kevin” … prophesied over him and his girlfriend Chelsea. She had bad shin splints in her right leg. We prayed and all the pain went away… “I’m totally freaking out!” Team member got a word that she has a gift for counseling… Chelsea said that her friends all come to her with their problems… AND that she was studying to be a lawyer a.k.a. a “counselor”… Nice.

Got to the town square which is located at 5th and Main…

* “5th and Main” “square/park area” “all red” (Teletubby) “Mike” “seated on outdoor bench” He said that his “right knee” wasn’t sore at the moment but normally would hurt a lot if he did anything on his knees for longer than a couple of minutes. Prayed for healing, then prophesied over him and his friend Maricruz and they were blessed.

* “black and white stripes” “white face” “Jared” (in a group of four guys dressed as mimes) had a busted collar bone and we prayed for it but it wasn’t hurting right then, so don’t know the level of breakthrough. His friend had a hurt “right ankle” that he rolled while playing sports the previous day… but again, not hurting right then. The third one had a “right thigh pain” but just as we started to pray, the group took off down the street and he left to catch up…


Got to a particular corner with a “fire hydrant” on it. There was a girl dressed in all red there and as we approached her, we saw the “Fish Drain” sign embedded in the sidewalk next to the gutter drain… the ones that tell you not to put junk in the drain because it will go out to sea and hurt the fish, which is exactly what the team member described when we were going over our clues before going out.

* “fire hydrant” “fish drain” “all red” “geisha” “Michelle”… She started tripping out at the specificity of the clues and that God loved her so much, and then her friend ran up to us from across the street, grabbed her by the arm and literally dragged her away running, so even though we had favor with her, we didn’t get to finish.. Boo.

But before we could walk away from this anointed corner, up walked these three girls…

* “fire hydrant” “fish drain” “all red” (Chelsea, Megan & Alicia—Elmo & 2 Belly Dancers, all friends and all 3 dressed in all red without planning it that way)… Prophesied over each of them and showered them with God’s love, and they were so happy and blessed. One of our team members got a word that one girl had really enjoyed doing some particular thing when she was younger, but someone had told her that she wasn’t any good at it, but that God thought she was, so He was restoring it to her… These 3 had met each other in dance class, and their teacher had told them they weren’t any good at it, so they stopped, but still loved to dance… One girl was particularly blessed because she mentioned that she was a lesbian and we didn’t judge her… “I wish ALL Christians were like you guys… You’re NICE and you show LOVE to me!”

Kept walking…

* “girl with yellow & white ruffly dress, old fashioned & lacy”… prayed for her friend in the military who was injured, and prophesied over her and her friend Cari, both Christians who had formerly lived in Redding and attended Calvary Chapel.

* “girl, 20-ish, w/ long brown hair in a devil costume w/ a red shiny miniskirt, medium skin tone, Asian” (Cindy & her 2 friends)… Prophesied over all of them, prayed for healing for Cindy’s cold and her nose cleared up immediately.

* “John Deere” –found this guy with a John Deere shirt on. He was a believer passing out flyers from his church that started with “Sin is Deadly”. Felt like asking “How’s that working out for you?” Anyway, loved on him as our passionate brother, prophesied over him and blessed him.. Cool guy!

Got in front of the “pizza place” and looked around us, saw two guys together that were dressed in “all red”, both said they had wonderful lives, no pain, etc.. But one had just opened a costume shop, and asked if we’d pray for his business, so we did and he was thankful.

* “guy dressed in overalls like a farmer” (Jeff), prayed for his upcoming wedding and marriage and for him to be blessed in his new job. He was so happy and thankful, “NO ONE has prayed for my wedding or marriage before.. Thank you so much for coming to find me.”

Stopped in the Pita shop for a bathroom break… In the line for the bathroom, we met Zach, his girlfriend, Amber and Abby…

* “right wrist in brace/cast” (Zach)… had metal screws in his broken wrist.. didn’t see any immediate breakthrough… Then prayed for his friend Amber’s knee—which improved immediately (she said that her sister lives in Oregon and does the same thing we were doing and was so happy to meet us)—then their friend Abby got prophesied over about how God says she is a great mother, etc. and she was on the verge of tears…

* “Chase” (the bank—on the sidewalk right in front of it), “brick wall” “Mike” (prayed for him to get a job real quick before he ran off to catch his girlfriend), his friend Doug was still standing there with his “Yellow shirt” on (Charlie Brown). He had an injured shoulder that he has to get cortisone shots in every 6 weeks. He said it had been about 3 weeks since his last one. Not currently experiencing pain, but prayed and gave him an email contact so in 3 weeks when he doesn’t need his next shot he can email us…

Went home thanking God for an amazing night!!!

Treasure Hunt 7-23-09

I had the privilege of leading a Treasure Hunt team last night at the Hem of His Garment conference. One guy was from South Africa, and the other 3-4 were from Arkansas. It was awesome. We had several encounters with people where they matched the descriptions on our treasure maps and we were able to bless and encourage them, pray for their needs, etc.. but I just wanted to share one of the cooler ones.

Keep in mind, none of these people on the team know anything about Redding. Their location clues were “coffee shop” (2 people had this clue), “Starbucks” (2 people had this clue), “ice cream shop” (2 people had this clue too!), “outdoor eating area”, “fountain”, “parking lot” and “Sears”. All of these clues are literally within a fifty foot stretch at ONE place in Redding (except Sears, which is directly across the street). Thankfully, I am familiar enough with Redding to have put their clues together to find the spot…

So, we got there and the physical appearance clues were “Green shirt” and “pink shirt”. As soon as we got out of the vehicle, this group of maybe 7 teenagers was in front of us in the “parking lot”… one had the green shirt, and one had the pink shirt. Three of us approached them, explained the Treasure Hunt, and showed them the clues that led us to them. We asked if any of them had any pain in their bodies or needed prayer for anything, and one guy said his wrist had gotten injured in a fight, so we showed him "wrist pain" on our map.

Just then these bells (like a bell tower) started ringing out a song, the “Hallelujah” Chorus. The girl in our group had written the word “Hallelujah” in her Unusual category, and didn’t know what it meant—but now we all did. As the bells rang the song, we shared this additional clue with the kids. That was kind of like TOO MUCH, Lord!!! So we asked the other kids if they had ever seen Jesus do a miracle… They said “No”, we said “Watch”, and Jesus healed his wrist right then and there.

They were obviously shocked, then the guy was kind of like freaked out… With all the other guys trying to be all cool and whatnot, they kind of shut down from going much further with them, but we did get to share God’s love for them and bless them, and they had an encounter with the Lord that God will use it to bump them one notch closer to their eternal salvation! Bless the Lord!!

Treasure Hunt and Healing 7-4-09

Went to the fireworks in Redding tonight with my kids. Before we left, I asked the Lord who He wanted to bless tonight. He showed me a picture of a “guy, 18-23, black and white ballcap, black and white T-shirt, gray shorts, Dickies (brand)” so I wrote that down on my treasure map.

We found the guy about 15 minutes after we got there.. He came walking up to us with his friends--WAY out of the way of the fireworks crowd—in a quiet corner where I was making some phone calls. It was dark already and I wanted to be sure first, so I asked him, "Hey bro, what color are your shorts?" He said they were gray, and I asked, "Is that a Dickies label?", and he said yes. I asked how old he was and he said he was 18.

I had him read the map and once he was going, “What the heck is going on?” I explained that God loved him very much and wanted to encourage and bless him. I asked if he needed prayer for anything, and he said he was looking for a job. I prayed for him briefly and encouraged him that God really does love him in a special way and has a destiny for his life, and was leading him there step by step. He was blessed and encouraged and said that this was all pretty crazy and he wasn’t sure about it, but thanks a lot!

My kids and I walked away and within 5 minutes, we ran into a Christian guy named John that I know from my last job. He was riding a skateboard, and had a brace on his wrist. I found out that he had hurt it a day or two before skateboarding. I asked him what he couldn’t do with it, and he showed me that he could barely even move it. I asked if I could pray, he said yes, and I prayed maybe a 15-second prayer while laying my hand on his wrist. I told him to test it out and he tried. Then he was like, “Wait, I have to take the brace off.” He moved it around completely and looked shocked. I said, “Does it still hurt?” He said, “NOT A BIT!!” I was like “Yeah Jesus!!” He was like, “That’s AMAZING!” He put the brace in his pocket and walked away free! Happy Fourth of July… Thank you JESUS!!

Oh yeah, the fireworks were cool too.

Healed Knee 7-3-09

The family and I went to see some fireworks in Anderson, CA… yes, on the 3rd. Anyway, while we were sitting there in the car waiting for the fireworks to start, I felt like the Lord told me that someone in the family next to us (I thought I knew who it was, but wasn’t sure) had an injured knee. I waited until the fireworks were OVER, so if I was wrong, I could leave right away!

So anyway, the fireworks ended and I said to them, “I have kind of an unusual question to ask you: Does one of you have pain in your knee?” A lady named Becky sheepishly said, “Yeah, my left knee hurts. Why?” I explained that I was a Christian and I felt like the Lord had told me that. I asked if they were also Christians and they said they were. She said her knee hurt a lot because of a deteriorated meniscus (cartilage cushion) in the joint.

I asked if it was allright if I prayed and she was game. I prayed briefly and had her test it out, and she said that before we prayed it was hurting; but now there was “zero pain.” She was a bit hesitant and came up with the only answer that her mind could figure out: “Well, it comes and goes sometimes…” I just gave her my email address and said, “Well, let me know what God does, OK?” and she agreed. I look forward to a good report!

Thank you Lord!!

Leg Grows Out 7-1-2009

Yeah, so I was at work today and did a massage (I'm a massage therapist for those of you that didn't know that) for a guy named Wayne. He came in and told me that his left leg is shorter than his right one, due to being broken several times when he was a off-road motorcycle racer. Due to the short leg throwing off his alignment, his low back hurts all the time, so he gets frequent massage.

So I did his massage and afterward, I said "Hey can I check out how short that leg is?" "Sure." I had him sit in the chair with his hips all the way to the back and sure enough, the left leg was about 1/2 inch shorter than the right one. I asked, "Would you mind if I prayed for you real quick? I've seen several legs grow out before, it's pretty amazing." He said, "Sure, go for it." So I just prayed a quick prayer and commanded the leg to grow out even with the other one, and it did! I asked him if he felt it, and he said he did, very matter-of-factly.

I saw it grow even with the other one with my own two eyes and I'm like "Looks even to me. What do you think?" "Yep, looks like it. Wow." Hahaha.. He said it even felt a bit different when he was walking out to the lobby..

Go Jesus!!! That was awesome!

Treasure Hunt 6-27-09

Jasmine had to work tonight, so I figured I’d go on a Treasure Hunt—MUCH more fun than going home and watching TV!!
















The Lord gave me two locations: “Sundial” and “Wal-Mart.” I went to Sundial Bridge first. On my map I had written down, “Guy, stocky, around 30ish, short black hair, black T-shirt, Islander, long shorts…tatts.” I was waiting a while and didn’t see him and almost gave up, but finally as I took one last lap, I saw him! Yay! I explained the Treasure Hunt to him, found out his name was Sonny, he was 33 and from Samoa, and that he had “knee pain” (also on the map). It wasn’t hurting at the moment, but we prayed for it anyway. I also got to share God’s love for them; and he and his girlfriend (Friend? Wife?) Chrissy were really stoked and blessed!


Then I went to “Wal-Mart” and before I got in the door I saw a girl on the pay phone that matched the description on my map: “woman w/ pink shirt and white capris, blondish, 30 +/- 3 (yrs).” I approached her just as the payphone refused to cooperate with her. I explained what I was doing and she told me her name was Vanessa and that she’d talk to me but she locked her keys in her car. I told her I have a slim jim in my car and could help her out. As we walked into the parking lot I let her read the description (found out she was 27) and she’s like “I’m freaked out right now... Oh my gosh!” I just told her there was nothing to be afraid of, it just meant that Jesus loved her a lot and wanted to tell her that. So we got to my car in the middle of the big parking lot to get the slim jim—and she was parked in the spot right next to me! Nice touch, Jesus!! I got her car unlocked in a couple of minutes during which I got to assure her of the Lord’s love and plan for her. She said she was a believer but that her husband and his family were much stronger in her faith than she was. She said she tried to read the Bible but couldn’t understand some of the language. I told her about The Message version, and she said she’d definitely give it a try. God was encouraging her so much she said she was about to cry! She started explaining to her little girl (around 4), Emily that Jesus loved them so much that He sent someone especially to find them at Wal-Mart to help them… Isn’t Jesus awesome?” “I LOVE Jesus!” Emily squealed. They went on their way, as I headed into the store, very happy that I didn’t give up earlier when I wanted to.

I got into the store in the main aisle by the checkout counters and saw a girl that matched my map: “girl, 16(ish), long dirty dishwater blonde straight hair, turquoise-ish tank top with shorts”, with her mom and a friend. I talked to the mom first to introduce myself and explain the Treasure Hunt… The mom said her name was “Michelle” (which was on my map), and the girl said they had seen one happen to a friend before and thought it was cool. I showed her the description of her, found out she was 15, and they were stoked. After we couldn’t determine any pressing prayer needs, and that they were already believers, I simply proclaimed God’s love and approval of them, how much He treasures them and has great things in store for them, that they were His princesses and just wanted to emphasize His amazing love for them individually today… They were very blessed and thankful…

God is so good... what a privilege to be an ambassador for Jesus!! Thank you Lord… Continue to encounter each of these precious people and take them to the next level of your will for their lives!!

Treasure Hunt 6-5-2009

Did a Treasure Hunt tonight with two other students from Bethel, Joy and Micha. We each took a few minutes with the Lord and wrote out our Treasure Maps separately. All three of us had “Target” and “Winco” (a local grocery store) as our locations, so we decided to go to both of them… Target first. Joy had “black baseball cap” on her list, and a man outside the front door had on a black baseball cap, so we approached him, explained what we were doing, and noticed he had a “dog” (also on Joy’s list) on the front of his shirt. It said “Big Dog” and Micha had “Big (something)” on her map. We prayed for him for diabetes and finances then he talked with us for about half an hour about his life and was moved to tears more than once that God had sent us to him. Afterward, he mentioned that his wife Tami also had high blood pressure. He was a Christian, so I reminded him of the Scripture in Mark 16 that says, “These signs will follow them that believe… they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” I placed my hands on his hands and they got instantly hot. I asked him if he felt the heat and he said yes. I told him to go to his wife, put his hands on her and command her body to be healed in the Name of Jesus—He looked at his hands and said OK. We parted ways and went inside the store as he left to pray for his wife.

Did a loop halfway around the store and on my treasure map was, “girl, 20s, black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, long brown hair” We found her with her fiancé, registering for wedding gifts next to the “dog” food. I was a bit slow to approach, but also on my map I wrote “S.F.” (San Francisco); and on second look I noticed that it said “San Francisco” on the front of her sweatshirt. Their names were Ross and Heather. We told her what we were doing, and as I told her how God had sent us to her, showed her the list, and how much God loved her, she got all teary-eyed and very touched. We were able to pray for their marriage and future family, and they were very blessed and encouraged.

We left and went to Winco grocery store. We walked through the store and found a man with a “black baseball cap” and… a “Big Dog” T-shirt!!! Amazing! He and his wife were already saved, and had been to Bethel and knew about Treasure Hunts, so it was easy. They said everything was well, but of course enjoyed God pouring out His love on them afresh, and the prayers and blessing on their marriage and son.

Joy had the odd word “deodorant” on her map, so we decided to go to the deodorant aisle and see what happened. We got there and there, AGAIN, was a “girl, 20s, black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, long brown hair”!!! This was crazy!! We told her what we were doing and asked what she needed prayer for and she said she was on a “spiritual search” and wanted to know the right path, or something along those lines. She said that she was a Christian, but had been approached by some Mormons a couple of days ago, they gave her a book of Mormon. She said she’d read it and they said they’d be back in a few days to check up. I told her a few unbiblical beliefs that the Mormons had and we prayed for her to have wisdom and strength, etc. She thought is was pretty amazing that God had met her like this just when she was asking for His direction. What a “coincidence”, eh?

This Treasure Hunt was really interesting, in that that God gave all three of us the same two locations to go, and then we essentially found TWO PAIRS of basically identical people that matched our clues exactly… I’ve never seen that happen before, it was pretty amazing… I mean really, what are the odds?!"! God you are AWESOME! Seal the work that you are doing in each of their lives, and let the seeds that were planted or watered grow into much fruit in their lives, to Your glory!

Treasure Hunt 5-22-2009

Tonight Jaz and I went out on a Treasure Hunt with two other people from school. We had a half-dozen good encounters, and wanted to share a couple of them…

Episode 1

Our team had “Sundial”, “Bridge”, “pink shirt” and “lab” as four of our clues on our Treasure Map. We met a lady named Chelsea wearing a “pink shirt”, walking across the “Sundial Bridge” with a guy and they were walking their “lab(rador)”. So we explained the Treasure Hunt and ended up praying for her about her relationship with her son, and we prayed for the guy about his back pain. Before we prayed, if he bent over, when he stood back up, his back would have pain. After praying twice, the pain was gone and he could touch his toes! Nice!

Episode 2

I had on my list “Two shirts on—one green and one white”. We saw this lady on a “bench” (also on our map) with the two shirts on, sitting with another lady. We explained what we were doing and she told us her name is “Carol”, which Jasmine had on her map. She asked us to pray for her son and we did. We had fun with her friend Heather and their husbands who had joined us while praying.

Episode 3

Then we were leaving the Bridge, and I saw the “guy, 22-ish, with red T-shirt and blue jeans” from my list… He was another student also out doing a Treasure Hunt, and his name was “Mike”, which Jasmine had on her map! We prayed for his popping shoulder and didn’t get any breakthrough. We also prayed for his “financial need for college” which we also had on our list, and he was getting rocked by God’s presence… Get him, God!

Episode 4

Three of us had written down “Starbucks” on our maps, so we headed there. We were walking down the sidewalk, and there was a couple sitting in chairs there and as we passed I overheard the woman say “…treasure hunt…” and that’s all I heard. I thought, “What are the odds of that?” So I said, “Sorry to interrupt you, but did you just say ‘treasure hunt’?” They said that they were talking about doing a treasure hunt for their upcoming VBS (Vacation Bible School) at their church. I explained that WE were on a Treasure Hunt too, what that means, and asked if they wanted prayer for anything. They were the Children’s Pastors of a local Foursquare Church, and asked for prayer for the VBS. We prayed some things prophetically that bore witness with them and they were blessed. We also found out that the husband has MS (Multiple Schlerosis). I relayed a testimony I heard last night from one of the pastors at Bethel that “Within the last WEEK, we have had THREE reports of people totally healed of MS—God is up to something!!” They were encouraged by that so we prayed for him too and he was very touched, although there was nothing we could test out on the spot. But they were very blessed that God had arranged this divine appointment! God I thank you for touching and healing Blake’s body, in Jesus’ Name!!

All in all, a good night!

Episode 5

While we’re talking Treasure Hunts, I’ll tell you another quick one from earlier this week… I went to Wal-Mart to get an oil change. They said it would be about 25 minutes, so I figured I’d do a quick Treasure Hunt while I waited. I asked the Lord to show me who he wanted to bless today in the store. He showed me an image of a “woman, 20ish, with pale yellow horizontal stripes on a white, sleeveless, button-up shirt”, so I wrote it down on my paper and went to find her. After wandering around the store for a few minutes, I saw a girl with that shirt on, walking towards me with a guy. She said “Hi” to me, and I asked if I knew her and she said she recognized me from church. I said “Cool, you go to Bethel too, so I don’t have to explain what a Treasure Hunt is to you right?” She said no. So I said, “Cool, well, YOU are my treasure. I showed her the clues on the map and she was stoked. She said she had a problem with her joints being easily dislocated, specifically her “hip and knee”, which was on my map next to her description. I prayed for her, but she hadn’t been having problems right at the moment, so there was no way to test it out. Then we prayed together for her guy friend who was in need of some direction and he was very blessed! They both were!
Just a reminder that we’ve got to try to make the most of every moment! Let God use you wherever you may find yourself… Your oil changes—or DMV visits, or grocery shopping—will never be the same!

Treasure Hunt Testimony 2-21-09

ENCOUNTER 1

Jasmine and I went on a Treasure Hunt today to look for God’s treasures in the community of Redding, California. We had “Sundial (Bridge)” as our location, so we went there. Two of our physical description clues that the Lord gave us were “red T-shirt with large white screen-printed design on front”, and “rainbow printed”.

We saw a lady with a woven red hat (a girl on our team had “red hat” on her map) standing next to a lady with rainbow hat. When we started talking to them and told them we were on a Treasure Hunt, they were excited. The lady with the rainbow hat said she had thought we were probably a Treasure Hunt team and that they had been waiting and hoping we would come talk to them!! She then unzipped her hooded sweatshirt and revealed a red T-shirt with a big white face on the front!

So we asked what it was we could pray for and the lady with the red hat (Jean) said that she had ovarian cancer. We prayed with her and she was very touched and appreciative. Then we asked the lady with the rainbow hat what her name was and she said “Jennifer”, I showed her the name “Jennifer” on my Treasure Map, and she got excited. We prayed for her arthritis in her knee and she said it felt better!

She then mentioned her that Jean’s son Jeff had a daughter that needed prayer. I showed her the name “Jeff” on my Treasure map. Woo-hoo!! Jennifer called over Jeff and his wife, who were just now coming across the bridge, and she was getting more excited. They told us about their daughter Catherine, who had a condition that the doctors couldn’t identify. They had misdiagnosed it as “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” (IBS). Jasmine showed her “IBS” on her treasure Map. I showed her “digestive problem” on mine.

Then Jasmine got a word of knowledge that Catherine had also previously been into dancing, but that her body had begun to feel too much pain (unrelated to the unnamed condition we were dealing with) to dance much anymore, which her parents confirmed. We prayed for Catherine with the group. She was not there on the scene to test anything regarding pain, etc.

Then Jasmine got a word about Jennifer having a seer gift, which she confirmed. Then I got a word about her ministering to kids, and she confirmed that she had worked with the youth ministry for many years. We blessed her, and the rest of them, thanked them for taking the time with us, and continued on our Treasure Hunt.

ENCOUNTER 2

We were walking and talking with a new friend, Sylvia, and she was talking about the unusual way that God was confirming that she was supposed to move to Virginia. A man on a bench nearby said loudly to us, “What was that you were just saying about God and Virginia?” We met him and he explained that he had driven back and forth across the country between Redding and Virginia six times in six months trying to connect there, but it wasn’t working out. He thought it beyond unusual that he happened to overhear our conversation that echoed his own thoughts at that very moment.

His name was “Kem”… Jasmine showed “Ken” on her Treasure Map, and he told us that most everyone he knew just called him Ken! When she showed him here Treasure Map, he happened to see her clue “777”, and he was kind of shocked. He was like “Why do you have THAT on there? … That’s the combination to the RV I live in.. it’s right here in the parking lot!” Nice! We got into a long conversation with him, and he was suffering with some serious confusion, lack of peace, needing wisdom, direction and provision.

He also said that as of yesterday his eyes had been feeling dim and blurry. I showed him “Eyes dim/blurry” on my Treasure Map. He said that right then they felt fine, but we prayed for his eyes anyway. He was mentioning some strange spiritual things that he had been into. Jasmine spoke powerfully—right into him—about the fact that even in these “deep” experiences, he never experienced peace; but that the “light” and “energy” coming from us that he had told us he sensed and enjoyed very much, was coming from Jesus, and that the real Jesus would give him this same joy, peace and light that we enjoyed. I told him something like “If you’re CONFUSED about this Virginia thing, it’s NOT GOD.. He’s not the author of confusion, He’s the God of Peace! He’s a good Dad, and he wants to lead you in peace and clarity.”

We ministered to him for about an hour with three of our friends from the Treasure Hunts and it was cool.. He would tear up and wipe away the tears every so often and was visibly touched by the love of God. He said he would be at church tomorrow… We pray for a mighty deliverance and salvation for Kem!

Well, we just wanted to keep you up on some of the exciting goings-on here in Redding and give God glory!! Your giving and prayers got us here and keep us here, growing in the things of God... Please continue to pray for us during this crucial time in our preparation for destiny! We love you!!!

Treasure Hunt 1-17-09

First of all, for those of you that don’t know what a treasure hunt is, it is where we ask God who He wants us to bless or minister to today; and He tells us various clues to help us find them, such as: location, name, physical description, what they need prayer for (specific injury or illness, finances, lost job, marriage problem, etc). We write this all down on a sheet of paper (the Treasure Map), then go find the person (God’s treasure). We then meet them, explain what we’re doing, and offer to pray for them… We’ve seen multiple people blessed and healed as a result of this evangelism that relies on the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Last Saturday, Jasmine and I went on a Treasure Hunt. We walked into Costco, and around 20 feet inside the door, we saw a kid with his right arm in a cast and a sling. Jasmine had on her treasure map “boy with brown hair w/ arm in sling” and I had on mine “right arm in cast”. We decided to go for it based on those clues. He was standing there with his mom. We talked for a minute, then his dad came up to join us. He was on a “motorized cart” with a “cane” in the basket… both of which I had on my treasure map. Awesome. We shared the map with this family and they were curious and said we could pray for the boy (Matthew)’s arms. They were already believers that attend a Charismatic-type church in the area, so we could speak plainly with them.

We prayed for his arms and he said that 100% of the pain left his arms immediately. We then asked the dad (Curtis) why he was on the motorized cart, and he said he had bad arthritis in his knees and it hurt to walk. Jasmine had “knee problems” on her map. We prayed for his knees and the right one was immediately 100% pain free, but the left one still had about 20-30% of the pain left. I got a word of knowledge that he had serious “low back pain” (turned out to be on Jasmine’s map). I asked him to stand up so we could pray. We prayed for his back and 100% of the pain left. I then asked him to check out the left knee, and he reported 100% pain was now gone. “Pain? What pain?” he said, amazed. Then Jasmine got a word of knowledge about the mom (Carrie) working with kids and teaching, which she confirmed that yes, she teaches kids every week.

I said, “Hey, we’re on a roll… Is there anything YOU need prayer for? She said that she also had low back pain. I asked what it was from, and she said she had a car accident. I pulled out my treasure map again and showed her where it said “low back pain from a car accident” on it… “No WAY!” she said. We prayed and 100% pain left immediately. I got a word of knowledge that she had problems in her right leg coming from the hip area down the leg and she confirmed that she had sciatica that shot pain down her right leg. I quickly repeated all the clues God had pegged them with so far, “boy with brown hair w/ arm in sling”, “right arm in cast”, “motorized cart”, “cane”, “knee problems”, “low back pain”, “low back pain from car accident”… I said, I don’t even think we need to pray, just check yourself out and I think God already did it. She did and God had already healed it. She said that there had been pain in her hip and leg even when we first started talking, but now it was 100% gone.

I got a word from the Lord that He was imparting to her right then a serious increase in the gifts of healings and working of miracles and that He wanted to use her to heal people. She said excitedly, “My hands are burning! My hands are burning!” I wanted to find someone for her to pray for, but didn’t see anyone in the immediate area that had any obvious physical problem… Darn! Anyway, they were all still 100% pain free. They said that Matthew had an appointment for a checkup on his arms the coming week. We are hoping that the doctor’s report confirms the work of God in him. Praise God.. it was a good encounter and God’s love was revealed to this family and He received much glory!

UPDATE:

We ran into them at Wal-Mart the other day (Redding is not a big city), and we got an update from them:

Carrie told us that since we all prayed together at Costco, both her and Curtis’ backs, the sciatica and knees were all better. Perhaps the coolest news was that Matthew immediately stopped taking pain killers after he was prayed for because the pain did not return. He was supposed to have the casts on both of his arms for SIX weeks; but he went for his scheduled checkup appointment a couple of days after we prayed, and got his casts off after only THREE weeks because his arms were healed!!

Isn’t God AMAZING?!?! It’s always nice to hear when doctors confirm what God did…

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever… He’s still walking through cities, preaching the Kingdom, and healing the sick today.. through His Body (that’s US!)

PRAISE THE LORD!

Bob Jones Propetic Word Confirmed in Nature--One Day Later

Eaglets Prepare to Leave the Nest!

Prophet Bob Jones came and gave a prophetic word to our school that he's been waiting 18 years to see come to pass. It is regarding three "Eagle's Nests" (prophetic training centers) that were prophesied to come to the Pacific Northwest. Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry is the first of the three.


It was prophesied that when the school had 1,000 students, it would mark a timing for the release of this word. The "eaglets would leave the nest". We would become like 1,000 points of light like, a sunburst that will go throughout the world, signs and wonders would never ebb or end; and the "Billion Soul Harvest" would begin in earnest as we raise up the family of God around the world.



He gave this word to us on our Graduation Day--Sunday, May 17th. On Monday, May 18th, this word was confirmed in the natural on the FRONT PAGE of the local (Redding, CA) newspaper (the Record Searchlight) with the article, "First Flights Still a Few Weeks Away for Redding's Young Eagles"!! You can view the article at:http://www.recordsearchlight.com/news/2009/may/18/first-flights-still-a-few-weeks-away-for-young/

And oh, by the way, the eaglets' names are: Freedom, Spirit, and Hope!!

It's awesome how God arranges natural signs to confirm what He is saying in the Spirit to His people!! Even the heavens declare His glory, and the firmament His handiwork!! All of creation groans for the manifestation of the sons of God!!

Getting Ready to FLY!!

South Africa Trip Report

Mar/Apr 2009
SOUTH AFRICA

Josh & Jasmine Greeson were part of a team of 20 from Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) in Redding, CA; and are back from their Missions Trip to South Africa.

With our Team!

First, we went to Pretoria, where we trained Oasis Revival Church in Prophetic & Power Evangelism, and led them onto the streets for 2 days--We saw many saved, healed and blessed.

With Pastor Colin McGeer of Oasis Revival in Pretoria.

We visited a small Assembly of God church and a few other ministries operated by a 70-year old woman who had been healed of severe asthma in a healing meeting back in 1951.

Assembly of God Church in one of the townships.

One was “Race Relation Church” in the townships where we preached and ministered prophetically to the whole Youth Ministry and some of the adults.

We also went to a couple of children’s centers. One is run by a woman who has taken about 12 abandoned kids into her home. She’s seen several of them healed, of both physical and learning disabilities. They are destined to be world-changers!!

We also ministered to about 100 Christian boys in a Prison for ages approximately 14-21. We worshipped and called out the gold in their hearts.

Josh preaching on “Redeeming the Time”.

While there, we also spent time in Johannesburg. We went to a hospital in the townships, where we went room-to-room, bed-to-bed, praying for the sick. Two notable miracles we saw were: Arthur, who had experienced a stroke. His right hand could not move at all. After brief prayer, he could move his wrist and fingers again! His wife gasped and looked like she was going to faint... it was AWESOME!

Josh with Steven at the Hospital—The lame walked!!!

Then there was Steven, who couldn’t move or feel from the waist down. Our team prayed and first he could feel us poke his legs. Then he could move his toes, then feet, then legs. We got him up and had him walking and even laughing a bit. God is SO AMAZING!!!

Government subsidized block houses in the townships.

We visited a home for abandoned elderly people. We prayed for them and hung out with them for a short time.

Typical aluminum shack house in the townships

After Pretoria, we flew to East London, on the coast of the Indian Ocean.

With Pastor Nigel of His People Church in East London.

A lot of people showed up from all over (including Namibia and Botswana) just for our team, it was amazing… they were HUNGRY!!

We had some great times of soaking together in the presence of God. Our team trained and activated them in doing Treasure Hunts (prophetic evangelism), healing the sick (power evangelism), and prophetic art.

Worship at a His People Church Healing Service.

We did outreach with them and saw many more saved, healed and blessed. One lady’s deaf ear was healed, so she decided to bring her 18-month old daughter with cerebral palsy to the evening healing meetings. Before anyone could even pray, the child was walking, then running!!! The next morning, she fed herself for the first time… Praise God!!!

Jasmine praying for Pastor Debbie Desmond.

On our last day, they threw us a big braai (BBQ) at the Lion Park. We saw lots of animals and even got to hold a baby lion!

With a baby white lion on our day off visit to Lion Park.

On this trip, a lot of people were born again, healed, encouraged, trained, empowered and blessed—and it happened due to your faithfulness in prayer and giving. Thank you so much… God is your rewarder, and much fruit abounds to your account!

Blessings!
