212...Best...camp...ever...

212 Best...Camp...Ever... So basically, 212 was a really good expirience for me...and for those of you who do not know what 212 is, it is a camp held every year for LifeBible. It just so happened that I was able to go. I was asking God to make a way for me to go off to 212. So basically 2 days before camp I registered...only 3 days off of the registration date, but whatever.
Anyhoo, the first day I got there it started to rain!!
PRAISE GOD....kinda :P
So anyway, wednesday rolled around, and that night i had a big smile on my face. The spirit of joy was strong in that place of worship. But anyway...I was just praising God and then pastor...Elton i think it was...yeah...He got up and started doing his word and teaching us, God is calling out to us telling us to STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP listening to the world! LISTEN TO ME!
So after that the band ...er...worship team got up on the stage and started playing. So we went into a "legendary devotional ceremony"
Basically there were a whole bunch of people crying out to God, asking for forgiveness for their sins, there was a lot of devotions and movements in the kingdom of Heaven. during that, I started to smile again, because I could just see in my mind's eye that satan was being vanquished, because he is under my feet. I started to dance, because that is what i do. And i could see when i closed my eyes. When i closed my eyes i could see that i was holding my spiritual sword, i could not see the band anymore i could not see anything but my sword. I could see sand and dirt under my feet. I looked around and i saw these shapeless little black creatures, and something told me that they were demons i had in my life...demons i needed to get rid of. Demons like fear of man, for i had not ever played my guitar in front of everybody becuase i was worrying of what they might think. I also had fear of singing in front of people, but i broke that off. There were other various things that i had broken off of my life, like...lets be real here, i had issues with purity, lust, looking at things i knew were wrong, watched bad things on tv, but come on, we are only human, we all do this. I started dancing in the physical and spiritual. I could see before me, demons...small...little...black things.... :..
I started to dance crazily like i usually do when im praising and even worshipping God. The worship team tuned up to the perfect speed, and the drums and guitar soloed at this time. I started to just dance around, and on every beat i would just slay each demon in my life. There were so many and they kept coming back, but i did not feel tired or weakness. Arrows were shooting at me, deception and fear, lust and thoughts, but i used my shield of faith to rely on God, and the arrows did not hit me, The arrows only hit my shield. I kept dancing and laughing in the spirit for there was NOTHING but victory and advancement in the kingdom of heaven. I kept dancing and dancing, and slaying the enemy, and getting rid of this crud i had in my life. Little might you know, i had a really bad problem with cursing, maybe you do know, but I threw that off of my life.
The music started to slow down, and something was in there and was hitting so hard, because we were ALL on our knees, we were all crying out to God. I wasn't crying, but i asked God to just break my heart, I asked him to open my eyes to see the things that made His heart cry, i asked him to break my pride, and take down the walls that hid beyond my heart. I asked him to take all of my earthly desires, and all of my earthly crowns.
God was faithful, and he gave me a vision, not a sensible vision, but a vision i could just see in my mind's eye. I could see myself playing where Aron (the backup guitar player) was playing, I could see myself playing in front of my church, even a crowd, leading people to God, GLORY!!
I could see so many coming to Christ, God just put it on my heart to become part of the worship team that i may be able to do this. God took away my fear of playing in front of people that day, so you know what? God can do ANYTHING, ANYTHING you ask can be fixed.
Do not be afraid.
So after that, I just started to laugh, because i KNEW that God had put this on my heart, and satan could not take this away from me, satan could not take this zeal for the house of God. satan could not undo what i had just seen, so i saw satan just being crushed under my feet, and i KNEW that i would have a great future ahead of me.
I had heard God call me to the worship team about a month or two ago, and i kinda put it off, but i was faithful...but i never asked the guitar players any questions, i only really went up on stage and got sheet music i hadn't had before.
anyway, i could feel heat on the back of my neck, and i could feel that an angel was there, more like the spirit of joy, and i just started laughing...I just started cracking up, and then about 10 minutes later i was still laughing. Then out of no where, a guy next to me started laughing, and a guy in front of me. soon, the next row of people were laughing hysterically, and laughing, and the spirit of Joy and Victory were just so there. Then row after row, wave after wave, people just started laughing and laughing. pretty soon the whole church was laughing. because we all knew that freedom was there, that they had conquered their fear of whatever there was.
After the worship service, i went up to ask the worship team how to do stuff, and they told me, it was really cool, and i learned so much.
The next night, God was also there, My sister actually (i wont get into too much detail) Healed a person with a broken arm. She was in a cast, and God told her to pray for her, so she did, and PRAISE GOD!! She was healed completely, felt no pain at all. So basically, i really am glad that God provided me a way to go.

HAHA, the last night i was there, there was a demonic manifestation, and while i was going around praying, i went over there, and all of the sudden i felt like i was being pushed back, and immediately i was running backwards for about 3-4 yards. I have no idea what was going on there, but i just walked away because i knew that what God was doing there was way more powerful than what i could handle, so i just left it.

I went to go pray for one of my friends who had back problems, in fact his back went out... I was praying with tim and another kid, and tim asked me to pray, and i started to pray, so another miracle, cuz i have never confidently prayed before. So ANYWAY, this kid started to pray, and all of the sudden, he stopped speaking in english. It took him a few seconds to realize it, and he stops, and realizes that God has just given him the gift of tongues, and he didn't even have to go to a prayer circle or group to recieve it, God has given one of his gifts away. I had also realised that God had really strengthened my gift of tongues, it just got WAY more fluent, and i could tell that something was different. Next time you think that God is in a box, that he can't do something that you want him to, just realise that HE MADE YOU, HE MADE YOU....thats it, He made you, and he knows everything about you, and knows everything you will do, he knows every path you will choose. He knows everything. So what makes you think that the MAKER OF THE UNIVERSE can't heal your leg, can't take away your lust issues, your lying issue, anything at all? Thats just it, HE CAN, He can do all things.
Phew, thanks for reading all of this, and i felt that the spirit of the Lord was there heheh, so alright....Just...dont be afraid of man, because they can't do anything, they may damage your physical body, your physical mind, but you know what they can't do? They cannot destroy your soul. The only one who has the power to do that is Jesus. so you know, God paid a price, His one and only son so that we could live, so dont be afraid to put your sins on him, for he was made for that, Jesus was born to die on the cross. heh, im done now
