Good afternoon Neal To The Cross peoples. I shot a video today of the vigil for Ashton Sweet who is on life support after being hit by a drunk driver early Sunday morning. If you saw my post yesterday there were 3 other girls involved as well all who are x students of mine now freshmen in high school. I just saw on facebook that she was officially pronounced brain dead today at 1pm and is now going through the process of donating her organs. My prayer has been if she is still alive, brain function or no brain function a miracle can happen in a blink of an eye. GOD can do ANYTHING and I believe.

I have been praying non-stop the last 2 days for these girls, their families, their friends and yes for the drunk driver and his family as their lives have been changed forever. I know it’s hard to pray for the drunk driver but in needs to be done.

Please pray for the 3 girls(Krista, Parisa, Ali) as they are going to go through a long period of processing what happened, being angry, hurting, and healing. Pray that God will use what happened for good and really show these girls HIS peace, grace, and joy even in this time of hurt. Pray for all the families involved to stand strong for each other and support each other as they move forward.

I know we are all devastated at the moment but let’s celebrate her life and know that we will see Ashton again in that perfect place called HEAVEN.

Neal

p.s.-Krista is still in the hospital and will need a period of time to fully recover. Blast her body with healing prayer and let’s get her fully recovered as quickly as possible.

Please pray for:
My aunt and cousin as they travel this week and for my aunt as she is going through some legal issues. Pray for safety and full vindication.

Pray for my sister as she is 6 months pregnant. We spent the last few days together and we are so joyful for her and her husband John.

I spoke on the phone with my buddy Adam Bretag and he is holding strong with his battle against anorexia. He is 150 pounds right now but will like to gain 30 more pounds. Pray that he can breakthrough in all areas of his life and give up full control to God and let God be in control. Also pray for healing of his family to become one strong bond again.

If you have any prayer requests please send them in.

I have been reading the book of Acts this week and it always amazes me how God can use simple, ordinary people with no special training to do His work in mighty and powerful ways. People were being healed and saved in large numbers just because they were stepping out in boldness and faith in the name of Jesus.

In Chapter 4, Peter filled with the Holy Spirit healed a crippled man and was preaching and teaching, and verse 13 says “the members of the council were amazed whey they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see they were ordinary men with no special training in the scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.”

In chapter 6 Stephen, “a man full of God’s grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people” was arrested and was standing in front of the high council. Verse 15 says, “at this point everyone in the high council stared at Stephen, because his face became as bright as an angel’s.”

So what am I trying to say? The first thing you need to do is ask Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior. Realize you need a Savior and that you are a sinner. That was an eye opener for me in 1996. Then the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will now be in you.

Once that happens he will take you right where you are at this moment and use you in mighty ways for the Kingdom. You do not have to be some great speaker, Bible scholar, evangelist to touch peoples lives. You just have to use the gifts YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN specific to YOU no matter how small you might think they are. We all have a job to do for team Jesus.

Wherever I go I always ask the Lord for people to recognize that I am different just like how people stared at Stephen because his face was bright as an angel’s. I don’t know how you feel but if I saw someone whose face was bright as an angel’s I would go over and ask how I could get some of that as well. People can tell you are born again not just by what you say, but by also what you do. People are always watching.

So much devastation going on right now. WE NEED TO PRAY RIGHT NOW WITHOUT CEASING. I was telling my parents today how it has really been on my heart to pray for a time of peace and healing across the globe as so many scary things are happening. The tornadoes in Missouri have taken alot of lives and destroyed everything in it’s sight. We need a time of rest. Please come Father God and bring your rest, healing, and hope. My mom brought up the verse 2 Chronicles 7:14 which I have pasted below. This verse really spoke to me. I know I have alot of work to do in my life and I encourage you to do the same.

Imagine what would happen if we ALL fully gave our life to the King in everything we do and in everything we say. More of Him and less of us. It would change everything.

Neal

2 Chronicles 7:14
14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Below are 2 comments from my friends I saw on facebook. The good part about all this rapture talk is it is making people research what the rapture is all about and drawing people to read the Bible.

Neal

“Like a thief in the night.” In other words… nobody knows, people! Live each day as if it were your last.

‎”No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Matthew 24:36 & “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come” Matthew 24:42 & “So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” Matthew 24:44

My heart goes out to all the people who were led astray by this false prophet predicting today, May 21, 2011, as the rapture of the church. Be comforted: We are followers of Christ, not man. He, and He alone, can heal broken hearts and use even this sad situation for good.

We are meeting twice this week. We will be meeting this Friday May 20th at 7:30 PM at Robinwood Church(child care provided) in Huntington Beach, California and we are meeting Saturday May 21st at 4:00 PM at Seaside Presbyterian (no child care provided) in Encinitas California. Please click on the links on the right hand side for directions.

Holy Spirit is leading us into revealed times of worship and breakthroughs with the King. When He is pursued with all that we have He is found and loves to be found by those who diligently seek Him. The beautiful one, the Lord of Host, the Lion and the Lamb is bringing people to salvation at these meetings of His and He is pouring out His healing salve for the whole person as many of you have experienced His healing touch. His rhema word for the moment and His revealed word through scripture are brought together like only He can do to speak into our lives for His name sake. He is the builder of His house and we are His house.

What we steward in faith, gifting, fruits of His Spirit (love, hope, faith, gentleness, kindness, patience, perseverance etc) we get more from Him of what He has already given us. There is always an increase of what we use for His kingdom. There is always a decrease for what we don’t use, even what we have will be taken from us and given to someone else. When we steward fear, anxiety, hatred, division, accusation, envy, slander and everything unclean we are given more of that from hell. If we don’t use those things they no longer have a part with us as He takes them from us and even the desires to gratify the sinful nature loses its hold on us. We meet intentionally to encourage one another to impart some thing of His Kingdom to strengthen our hearts as iron will sharpen iron. We gather to increase in Him, to bless, to give to know is unsearchable riches that we have in Christ as His love washes over us in His everlasting embrace.

You are so loved, so rich in Him, so blessed, so victorious for you where the garments of the king.

I have been praying for the souls of alot of people recently and this morning for some reason it really hit me how much I want every person in the world to have a personal relationship with the King of the world. Yes I have a confessionn to make “I AM A JESUS FREAK! Accepting Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior is a personal decision. We all have free will. The choice is yours. To learn more about Jesus and ask him into your heart click here. I will be praying for you.

The Jesus Film in “Anime” below is powerful and just right now it really cut my heart open deeply. Thank you Father God for sending your Son.

I mentioned the other day that I am pretty burned out on blogging at the moment as I have 3 websites and sometimes I just need to take a break from it all. But, then I got home this afternoon and clicked on my mom’s blog Ginny’s Garden Art and felt so full of joy and hope that I had to write you all so you could read it to. The last 18 years my mom has been on an up and down roller coaster will her health and if you are dealing with any kind of health issue or any issue at all then click here so you can be full of hope, joy, and healing as well.

The signs, wonders, and miracles that the Bible talks about are real for today as well. The last couple weeks I have really been praying and pressing in for the Lord to really show the world that He is the Healer by using TV, internet, dreams, visions, public displays of miracles so that people could not deny who He is. The time is near and the signs, wonders, and miracles that happen all the time in other countries are going to happen here on a regular basis where it will become the norm to see someone’s eye sight restored, people raised from the dead, limbs growing back, disease disappearing, mass salvations and whatever else you can think of.

You think I am crazy for saying this? Well, you would be right! I am crazy-for Jesus. Please let me know how I can pray for you and make sure to read my moms words inspired by the Holy Spirit. I know the words will give you hope and peace and you could even be healed right this moment.

Come King Jesus. Show them who you are.

Neal

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you!

Mom, you are the best mother a son could ever have. You have been my cheerleader from day one and prayed for me and never gave up on me even when I was acting like an immature little boy. Your prayers, advice, and love are priceless and I love you very much.

You are such an amazing woman who is on fire for Christ. You are such a mighty and powerful woman and an example to so many. I am honored to be your son and I hope I make you proud everyday. I LOVE YOU MOM.

Your Son,
Neal

Fall in love all over again with Jesus, Holy Spirit and Father as we meet with Him four times this May.

In light and grace He calls us into his presence to worship Him. The table he has set for us brings His Spirit of prophecy, healing and we have all things in Christ. You are His beloved.

The Fathers embrace calls us together to meet with Him in His presence. When His glory comes we get transformed and the residing darkness in us and our love for this world gets exposed. In His kindness He is our helper as we learn to let go of the things that have us so bound up and rob us of true intimacy with our God. He wants us to know Him in these days. We know so much about Him from a distance. The glory of God will cause fear and trembling when He draws near it is the beginning of wisdom to fear Him. We don’t fear him because of punishment but because of His awesome majesty and unveiled glory. Who can be in His presence and stand.

We will not be able to stay hidden anymore from Him and those around us when we draw near to Him because He will draw near to us. Doing church, going through the motion with our lips but hearts that are far from Him will not suffice in His invitation of intimacy to know Him. We are no longer orphans but sons and daughters. We are not of this world and it is not our home but we have the joy and the honor to bring heaven to earth where His wisdom and unfailing love are clearly seen in His unveiled bride that has come out of the world and stepped into His kingdom.

These are the days of transformation. As we come into His glory we are changed forever and our environment around us will change as well. Our homes, churches, work places, cities and even nations will be exposed to the love of God through His bride in power as we yield and abide in Him. No longer will the unveiled bride submit to a fallen culture and doctrines of demons where we have become like the world but it will be said of us again these people preach Christ and Him crucified and now they have come into our city and who can stop them. In transformation, we move in intentionality with Him. We are not coerced to come or stirred up to come nor do we need outside motivation that this is something we need to do. Our hearts that have longed for Him are stirred within us and we have to Him. Our salvation is being worked out right before our eyes and the kingdom glory rest on us His people to demonstrate a gospel of salvation, redemption, restoration and renewal that the earth so longs to hear. Heaven is behind us, the King is before us who can be against us.

With intention, He will transform us and clothe us in Christ so that we become like Him and we are His witnesses on this earth while we walk here without the fear of death on us or the fear of what man might say. With intention, prepare yourselves to come and meet with Him. Put off complacency, indifference, apathy and step into your inheritance as the beloved of God. Invite your family and friends and all that are hungry and thirsty for life for He is life and invites all to come and partake of Him to have His life in you. He loves it when we come just as we are without pretense a people coming to their Father because they know He loves us. We will be meeting this May with Him starting on May 13th.

You are a blessed generation to be alive in these times of His kingdom on the earth.

John Kloos
