Bio: I've been a Christian for my whole life. I would sit in my dad's lap listening to him read the Bible as a baby. My name was given to my parents by God saying that I would be a prophet. I have met other prophets who have confirmed this, though so far, there is only minor evidence of this. Durring sunday school one day when I was around 5-7 years old, the teacher that day who is the pastor's wife told us that all we had to do to recieve this spiritual language called tongues, was ask God for it. I did and have had it ever since. Around the same age, while we were talking about spiritual things with my mom on her bed, my brother got a strange vision to which I got the interpretation. Also around that age (and ever since then), I had a simple childhood faith and would pray for rain or no rain, clouds for shade etc. God would grant my request time after time. My shield of faith is larger than I am and continues to grow as does my sword of truth. When I was 17, I was told by God to go on one missions trip to Brazil with my pastor (at that time) allong with a team of people from our church and other churches in the region. I prayed in the Spirit unceasingly the whole time from days before the flight to... now (There have been a few breaks but generally I pray all the time even between speaking words when it is fervent enough) I saw many miracles there and heard testimony of many more. Most of what I saw though was the manifestation of the Spirit which was nothing new to me as I had gone to several revival meetings and such with my parents. What I gained from that trip though, was a true heart for worship and a new found assignment as a prayer warrior. Mostly I have been assigned to young women to pray for. In Brazil there were two that I prayed protection over for the whole time I was there. When the trip was over I still pray over them but they are not a main focus. One Christmas my family was reunited with another family we knew well from where we used to live consisting of 3 daughters 1 son and a reunited couple. They stayed over for the holidays and one of those nights, I stayed up in prayer over them. I have been sent to anoint door ways and pray and sing in front of them. I now have at least 5 young ladies who I'm assigned to. Some have more priority than others at different times. There are a few guys that I haven't felt assigned to for non stop prayer but they to get my attention at times. I also pray for my nonchristian friends frequently. Most recently, I have been able to dance in worship (was NOT much of a dancer in any way before hand) and have been called to pray and dance and beat the drum or my chest on some ocations with the other Prayer warriors in my troup led by God. I assign angels of protection, healing and worship when I am led. I go through motions of ripping off the enemy as if directing the angels in the situation to do so when I am led. I have fought with my sword of flame and been protected from flaming arrows by my shield in dance. I feel I am about to recieve a new armor and weapons even greater because of recent events.
At age 20, I completed reading the entire Bible some parts more than once (Job at least 5 times) and I have begun to study it and have a real desire to study with others to answer questions that I have the wisdom and knowledge in the Spirit to answer. I have always liked to draw but have been able to get into it more recently with pictures that I am given by the Holy Spirit. On occation, I will get simple poetry or lyrics.
Interests: I pray in all I do including: Ultimate Frisbee, Ping Pong, Hacky Sack, various other sports that I am less talented at, building out of whatever material is available, arts and crafts, once in a while a videogame. Reading my Bible, talking online with friends, Studying the Bible with various people online and in person, at one point creating my website. I love to create game ideas of all kinds (videogames, cardgames, board games, sport games etc.) I love to help people move as I am very good at packing a truck as well as a box and am now strong enough to lift most anything aside from the huge furniture or house appliences that either need two + people or some wheels. I also love to climb and have been known to go on walks in prayer and conversation. I enjoy showing others how to play. I work out on the Total Gym in the livingroom but rarely. I like all sorts of music as long as it has to do with God and is positive. I'm a Paladin, protector of women, children and the weak. I am vowed to be pure, void of any sentual contact until marraige. The only thing I am allowed to do that comes close to the line and I enjoy very much is giving out massages for which I have great aptitude and endurance. I must learn to be most gentile and careful of where my hands go when ministering to any young woman. With God's help, I keep my thought pure. I battle on.
