What’s the word people! This is my last post of 2010 as I am going to take a break for a week or so. I really look forward to seeing what God is going to do in 2011. Since it’s the end of the year that means Neal To The Cross is officially one year old which is amazing. Thanks for all of the support, donations, and prayers it really means alot and I know through you lives have been changed. So have an awesome New Year’s Eve and Happy New Year to you all. Real quick below is a quick update on how Adam is doing. I want 2011 to be the best year Adam has ever had. Come Holy Spirit!

Neal

Thank you for your donations and prayers. Adam is very thankful for you all. In about another week Adam’s medicare will run out which means he will have to leave the eating disorder clinc as he cannot affort the $1800.00 a day fee to stay. He is hoping that medicaid will kick in sometime in the future but that can take time. Adam still needs alot of inpatient care and has made great strides over the last 2 months. Please keep praying for him and his family and if you would like to donate any amount of money that would be awesome. You can donate by clicking here.

Awesome family time yesterday. By the end of the day I had a serious food coma and had trouble getting off the couch. When I got home last night I was watching a show on CNN called “After Jesus, The First Christians.” The narrator said there are over 2 billion Christians in the world but let’s make it 2 billion and 1 and then 2 billion and 2 and then 3 and so on. The goal of Neal To The Cross is to get people saved and healed. Just like you did in the book of Acts, Holy Spirit come down and do a mighty work. I cry out to you on behalf on Orange County and the world. We need you. I want to see multitudes come to know Jesus at one place and then another and then another as signs, wonders, and miracles happen and the people can not deny that you are King Jesus. I encourage you to pray for all the people you know who do not know Jesus, your neighbors, your city, your state, your place of work where ever you go. Jesus will open up divine appointments all over the place if you are looking and willing. Let me know if anyone you are praying for asks Jesus into their hearts as Lord and Savior so we can rejoice together. Send in our prayer requests of people you want me to pray for. Just email me their first name so they can be anonymous. ONE MORE FOR JESUS! If you want to start a personal relationship with Jesus right now click here.

Below is a quick family video from yesterday.

Born To Die by Chester Delagneau
Gentle Jesus—born a King—You laid in a foul feeding trough appearing to many as Humbly.
O how You were hunted down and brutally beaten like a lamb led to the slaughter.
Beautiful Savior—You were so brave to die for me!
Prior to Your divine descent,
Your Heavenly Father looked into Your eyes and instilled in Mary’s Seed the grace You’d One day need to withstand the world’s ridicule and set Your elect free.
He kissed Your tiny forehead knowing that a great King You’d one day be.
But the price You’d pay would be a crown of thorns woven several inches long mocking Your kingdom and fitting Your skull perfectly;
You’d be left alone to suffer and die on a cruel Roman cross
For all Jews and Gentiles.
He cupped Your little hands and massaged Your perfect, pink feet
Knowing that on the appointed time, several spikes of cold, sharp steel
Would penetrate Your innocent hide.
He formed Your ribs in place and covered them with muscle and skin.
He touched Your side wiping a tear from His eye leaving just enough room for a sharp Spear to hide.
After Your redemptive preparation was complete, Your Father held You in His arms
One last time.
Shortly thereafter, the Holy Spirit placed You in Your mother’s womb;
Your Father whispered in Your ears,
“Be brave for I will exalt the Prophet who’s crucified a Hebrew slave.
O sweet Child of Mine, in whom I am well pleased, know that the King of the Jews is born to die to pay the price as the world’s most significant sacrifice.
It’s sad, yet true, this world won’t have room for You
Lest You be hung on a splintered cross.
But don’t be dismayed—It’s Our gain and Satan’s loss.”

What a beautiful, sunny morning we are having. I just had a nice breakfast with my boy Chestrer Delagneau and we had a nice time of keeping each other accountable, telling stories, praying for each other and just hanging out and relaxing. We met an awesome waitress by the name of Veronica who is from Guatemala. Her prayer requests were for her 2 kids to be safe as they are still living in Guatemala and good health and joy for her. She is so full of life and was definatley a blessing to our morning. Please pray for her and her family.

Chester gave me a poem today called “Born To Die” that I will post tomorrow for Christmas as it is all about King Jesus. I encourage you all to take a step back and count all of your blessings in your life and take some time to fully comprehend what Jesus birth is all about and what He did for us on the cross. IT”S ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS! If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus then I encourage you to click here to learn more. We all have free will but the Bible says that eternity has been planted in everyone’s heart. If you are reading this right now I guarantee you that the Holy Spirit has been tugging on your heart for quite sometime. It’s the most important decision you will make in your life. Enjoy your day!

Finally the rain has stopped and there is alot of damage throughout California so please lift us up in prayer. Since the rain stopped I was finally able to get out and ride my new road bike(bicycle) and if felt good to ride in the cool, crisp air and just let loose. I then cooked up some free range, organic chicken with organic cucumber and carrots to replenish my body after about a 2 hour ride. As some of you know I am also what’s called a Functional Medicine Specialist and I teach alot on what foods you should eat for your unique body chemistry as no 2 people are alike and thus should not be eating the same things. I am thankful that we can still buy clean, free range, grass fed, organic foods just the way God intended food to be. Back in the day there was no such thing as organic foods because foods were grown in clean soils and animals ate what they were supposed to eat out in the fields. Now we spray pesticides all over our foods, use GMO seeds, and give our animals hormones, steroids, and anti-biotics. Sorry about that I just went off on a tangent but we need to be stewards of our bodies. You can check out some of my teaching on health, exercise, and nutrition on my other site called www.DunamisFitness.com.

Anyways I know alot of you are struggling in many ways during these holidays and can be a tough time for all. I encourage you to go up to the right corner of the screen where it says, “type your search here” and type in the name “John Kloos.” This guy has a way with words and he will tell you what YOU mean to God, who Jesus is and the power of the Holy Spirit is. God has special plans for you if you are willing. I encourage you to read all of his posts on my site as they will touch you deeply in your heart. If you have any prayer requests please let me know.

Pray for an x student of mine by the name of Andrew. He is flying to Brazil today to do the Lord’s work. Here is his facebook post from this morning. “Thankful for the visions of Healing in Brazil. Can’t wait to see broken bones mended back together and the dead raised through prayer. Here I am, God.” How amazing is that. Holy Spirit I pray that where ever Andrew and his team goes that EVERY person would be saved and healed. Speak through him in mighty ways. I pray for protection over him in every way. Please also pray for my sister as she flies in tonight from Oregon. This weather is nuts. Father God I pray for protection for peoples houses and their health during this rain. Keep us dry and warm and protect our electricity. Cleanse us with this rain Father God.

I woke up this morning and for some reason I was humming this song out of no where and the words were rocking me. The song is called “Who is there like you” by Stuart Townend. The words are below so sing them out loud.

Who is there like You
And who else would give their life for me
Even suffering in my place
And who could repay You
All of creation looks to You
And You provide for all You have made

So I’m lifting up my hands
Lifting up my voice
Lifting up Your name
And in Your grace I rest
For Your love has come to me
And set me free
And I’m trusting in Your word
Trusting in Your cross
Trusting in Your blood
And all Your faithfulness
For Your power at work in me
Is changing me

I am sure you all know by now that California is getting drowned in rain the last week or so. Please pray for protection of everyone’s houses in mud slide areas and in flood areas. Pray for safe travels on the road and in the air as alot of people will be traveling for the holidays. The homeless and young people who are on the streets need our prayers as well. With that said I have had alot of time the last couple days to read and finish up one of my master’s classes. I am trying to finish up my Master’s in Nutrition and Healed Education but I am going through a time of zero motivation. Please pray for me to push on one class at a time and get it done by the spring. Please also pray for financial provision for books and for my last 5 classes.

I recently found out a friend of mine has some pre-cancerous stomach lesions I think that is how you say it and let’s blast her stomach and body with healing prayer. I command that any cancerous cells to be gone from her body. By YOUR STRIPES SHE IS HEALED! This woman has been through alot the last 5 years and it’s time for victory for her and her family. Rain down your grace and peace on her King Jesus. Hold her in your arms. Have mercy on her King.

I am out the door to do some Christmas shopping and then back to studying-maybe. You are all prayed up for the day. See where God is working and join in.

Just got done remodeling my apartment since the weather here stinks. I can’t ever remember it raining this much and it is supposed to rain through the rest of the week. I see it as the Lord cleansing Orange County lol. Please pray for me as I have been doing alot of reflecting the last couple days and I am thinking about moving back to the beach in the next month or so. Pray that the Lord will guide me where he wants me to be and he would give me favor in that city to do His work. Please pray for favor on Adam Bretag as well. He has 2 more weeks in the eating disorder clinic and then his medicade runs out. He will have been in for 2 months but he needs much more healing and care. Once medicade runs out it is $1800.00 a day. He is hoping medicare will kick in so pray for a miracle there as you know paper work takes forever. Lord sign off on the paper work supernaturally! Amen. Pray that a new door would open wide for Adam and that he would continue to stand strong against the enemy and submit to the Lord 100%.

I also spoke with my co-worker whose father in law had choked and been without oxygen for 10-15 minutes. He miraculously lived and is now back at home but is not doing so well. Sometimes he is his normal self and sometimes not but the doctors said he would only make it a couple months. This brings me to Acts 5:12-16 that I was reading last night.

Acts 5:12-16
12At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s portico. 13But none of the rest dared to associate with them; however, the people held them in high esteem. 14And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number, 15to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them. 16Also the people from the cities in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing people who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.

I dream of the day when this happens on a daily basis here in Orange County and across the nation. I have a couple friends who have seen these miracles happen on a daily basis and seen tens of thousands of people give their lives to the Lord on the spot after signs, wonders, and miracles happened right in front of their faces over in Africa. Where ever Jesus went he would preach and teach and then he would follow up his teaching with signs, wonders, and miracles that no one could doubt his power and authority. Everytime I write a post on Neal To The Cross I pray over it before I publish it to you all. I pray for favor on my words and that whoever is reading my blog would be healed, saved, motivated, touched etc. When I was praying over this post and reading Acts 5:12-16 I was filled with goose bumps and the presence of the Holy Spirit. I know when that happens He is here ready to do work.

So I claim over my co-workers father in law that his brain and organs are completely healed. I claim Acts 5 over him and that through his healing that multitudes would come to know Jesus in his family, his friends and the community of Costa Mesa, Ca. I encourage you to join me and pray Acts 5:12-16 outloud and bring revival, signs, wonders, and miracles to North America and that no one can deny that Jesus is King! If you are down to pray leave a comment below. Let’s do this.

Looks like another rainy day out here in Southern California. The verse of the day is Acts 3:19, “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that the times of REFRESHING may come from the presence of the Lord.” I love the word refreshing. Be refreshed in the name of Jesus! Below is an update about Linda who I asked you guys to pray for a couple days ago. Please keep praying and let’s claim some healing Bible verses over her as well. Father God your Word says in Matthew 8:17, “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES.” Linda I command your cyst in your stomach to dissolve and be gone and any infection or inflammation to be completely healed. I pray for a REFRESHING over Linda’s body from the top of her head to end of her toes. Immune system you are strong and robust, organs work perfectly in the name of Jesus, and bloating take a hike. Let’s get Linda home by Christmas Eve. Amen!

If you have any prayer requests or needs let me know.

Neal, this is an update on Linda. She began improving Thursday after being moved to ICU for more one on one care and after people started bearing down in prayer!! Her white blood cell count is down to normal with no temperature and her blood pressure is coming down. A large cyst in the abdomen was full of infection so she is being treated with antibiotics and is feeling less pain and less bloated. She’s supposed to be in the hospital a couple more weeks but it would be spectacular of the Lord to send her home for Christmas next week so she can truly visit with her son and family from northern CA. God can do anything as we know. Your prayers are working. Please keep them up.

Feeling super blessed and thankful today. Lord Jesus I praise you for the favor you have given me at work. I am indebted to you for eternity. I praise your mighty name. IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU JESUS.

I have been going through stages of reading the Bible recently. Sometimes I want to dive in sometimes I fell a little dry and do not feel like reading but during those times I push through knowing that in those moments the Lord is going to rock in some way. As I said before, we read the Bible because we want to not because we have to and feel obligated to. I have been coming against alot of spiritual warfare the last couple weeks so please pray for me in that area. I have been reading the book of Acts and once again I can’t get enough of this book and the amazing miracles that happened and the mass salvations that went along with the healings.

After the lame man was healed and Peter and John were arrested the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees observed the following in Acts 4 verse 13, 13″Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.” So through uneducated and untrained men who were on fire for Jesus people we saved and healed. HELLO! That is me and you. When I first got saved in 1996 I thought I had nothing to offer people or Jesus. I had no idea what my gifts were that the Holy Spirit had given me to use for the Kingdom. Shortly after my eyes were opened to all He had for me.

And then later in Acts chapter 4 it says in verse 29-31, 29″And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, 30while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” 31And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

So I claim over me and all of you that where ever you go you will speak the word with all confidence, power and authority and that you will trust the Holy Spirit to speak through and guide you in each situation no matter if that person or group thinks you are a freak or if they are receptive as that seed will have been planted for the Kingdom. I pray that signs and wonders will also flow through you and be common in your everyday walk just as it was where ever Jesus went. It does not matter is you are a fresh believer or a veteran Christian God is going to use you if you are willing to see where He is working and join in.

ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN PEOPLE! I encourage you to click here and start to read Acts chaper 1 and read through chapter 28. The Holy Spirit will rock you.

Neal
