When God Gives You The Desire Of Your Heart

Ever since I knew what the word “England” was, I’ve wanted to travel to the United Kingdom. My friends and family who are close to me, know this to be true. I’ve watched enough British shows, and movies to map out the places I even wanted to visit. However, the crown jewel of all the cities in the UK was London. A couple of weeks ago I had prayed in my room, and asked God if I could go to London for my birthday. It wasn’t but days after that prayer did I receive a call, letting me know that I was gifted with a trip to London for my birthday. Trust me, I was excited about that call, and almost couldn’t believe that I was going. This was completely a ‘God-thing,’ because it came out of left field. On top of it all, the provision that began to come in for this trip blew me away. I received a love offering for my birthday from someone, my mom sent me money to go shopping for clothes, an anonymous person sent me 500.00 złoty’s, and my ticket was completely paid for. Plus, on top of it I was going to spend time with my new friend Pastor Nobin Samson, and his beautiful wife Kay. Pastor Nobin pastors a church in London called New Dawn, and he would be taking care of me while I was there. Pastor Nobin is also a prophet and has an international ministry called, "Nobin Samson Ministries," and is the ministry New Dawn is under.

That my friends is called ‘super-crazy, God is all over this, provision’. Oh, and by the way, this whole thing was a faith adventure. I had only met and ministered with Pastor Nobin for a few days in Poland, and just kept in touch here and there. I didn’t know his wife, or his church. I didn’t even know where I would be staying, or what exactly I would be doing.  Another “oh, by the way,” I was asked to do ministry when I was there. I should have known that God was up to something a bit bigger, than me seeing Big Ben. I was going just for four days, and just for holiday. Though when I got on the plane, the Spirit of God began to stir me deep inside, and I knew something was up. Pastor Nobin casually asked me if I would like to go to a home group on Tuesday night. I said of course, and was looking forward to it. Then I get a message, “can you share something?” I’m thinking to myself, “sure, I can share a quick testimony, or share something about what I’m doing in Poland.” Tuesday morning I ask Pastor Nobin, “how long would you like me to share?” I’m thinking 3-5 minutes, and he responds back, “30-45 minutes.” I was like “what!” Ha, ha, no worries, I’m ready for this. I have no clue what I’m going to speak on, but I’m ready. I’ve been dreaming about ministering in England for years, and I’m ready to grab this opportunity. All day long as I’m touring the area of Buckingham Palace, I’m listening for God. Something, anything! Nothing. I’m thinking about what I’ve been reading recently in 1 Chron 16, about the ark returning to Jerusalem, but I can feel that I’m not to speak on that. I just had to wait, step into it, and trust God.

That night many of the friends I had made from New Dawn had come to my friend Jas’ home in West London. Plus, I got to meet a lot of new friendly faces. Even Pastor Nobin’s mom (or mum) was there! Everyone was excited, and they came hungry. Pastor Nobin has really trained his people, and they really reminded me of World Revival Church in many ways. I felt really at home with them, and that is a big complement to the pastor. The people were unified, full of light, easy to be around, humble servants, and bore great ‘fruit.’ The first thing I noticed about the atmosphere in England, compared to Poland, England is a lot freer. It has the same atmospheres as the United States, and that caught my attention. Because both the U.S. and the U.K. won the wars, were not oppressed, were able to rebuild immediately, and moved on in prosperity, the atmosphere to minister was easy. Plus, both nations have been hotbeds for revival. Just up the way in Bedford, England, Smith Wigglesworth lived, and changed a generation with the power of God. In the other direction, in the nation of Wales, at Moriah chapel, the Welsh Revival shook the countryside, and the world. North in Scotland, the Hebrides Revival of the 1950’s, grabbed hold of regular folk, and sent them to their knees with heavy holiness.

During my prayer time earlier, I wanted this group to get a small taste of World Revival Church, and the deposit that I took with me to Europe.  I wanted people who were broken and hurting to experience what we experience in Kansas City, MO on a weekly basis. Up to the moment when I was going to speak, I didn’t know what I was going to say, so I just stood up in front of this group, and went for it. I shared on being a carrier of revival, and not just being in a revival. I shared my testimony of being a California girl, and a person no one would ever pick to do ministry. I shared about my brokenness, and how a women’s conference in Kansas City, MO changed the course of my life. I shared with heart-felt passion about how we are to be carriers, and are responsible for the lives of this generation. That they were responsible for the lives of their nation, that their time is short, and they have much to do. That they are to be empowered, like the disciples, to go shake their generation, and touch the lives of people in London. I explained why they see so much darkness in London, and it is because the church is asleep in the light. That they must rise up, and be the carriers of revival to everyday people. Afterwards, I had the chance to pray for the people in the room, and I saw God began to move on peoples’ lives. People were being restored, healed on the inside, strengthened, and empowered. God gave me the right words, and he began to break into people lives. These people were good receivers, and they were hungry. They were very soft hearted, and just pulled on God. This opportunity to be with this group was nothing more than a divine connection. I felt like I have known these people for years, and we just met the day before. I have a strong sense that I’ll be back, and I’ll be back to visit them specifically. It was such a great connection, and a fantastic way to spend my birthday.

I was pretty much spoiled rotten, and never dreamed that going to London would be this incredible. I got a makeover, got to see all the sights, river boat cruise, ate EVERYTHING that was awesome, and was taken care of all the way. Anything I needed, the pastors and their members took care of it for me. I stayed in a cute hotel, got my hair done at a fancy salon, and even had a night out on the town with my new friends. I think there’s no way I could have planned a better trip.  The people took EXTREMELY good care of me, and it was a time of refreshing.  When God is control, he does not play when it comes to giving people the desires of their heart. When you seek God first, this kind of stuff happens. I know that this super-crazy provision happened, because I’m a giver/tither. Because I remember God, He remembers me. Plus, on top of it, I got to minister, and I wasn’t even expecting that! So, don’t give up putting God first, remembering him with your tithes, because He has the power to open up the heavens, and pour out a ‘blessing you can’t contain.” I’m pretty sure I just lived that scripture in Joel. Thank you God, and thank you Pastors Nobin & Kay.
