Thanks you for all your prayers! They were felt, and darkness FLED at University of Texas tonight.
I have never been more encouraged in my faith and spirit by what has happened at UT these past 3 days. Tonight, we were rained out, we went into an auditorium, but something in my spirit said “NO” we are meant to preach the GOSPEL in the PUBLIC in the middle of campus, Acts 2 style, when we prayed before the rally I saw us outside praying, signs and wonders breaking out and I knew it was the will of the Holy Spirit to do the evening rally outside even if it meant I preached with only my voice and no microphone.
When we got inside, I asked the crowd, are you willing to go outside tonight? They all cheered back! I knew it was God, we marched more than 300-400 into the middle of campus, you could feel the excitement, freedom and faith. It was a PROPHETIC ACT that CHURCH HAS OFFICIALLY LEFT THE BUILDING!
Oh yeah, Praise God the UCLA Bruins are in the Final Four baby! Yes, God has been answering my prayers (haha) seriously though, pray for the Bruins, God has been moving upon certain players in the team, I can’t get into details, but there are some God fearing, Jesus loving, Spirit filled bros on the team that I have been blessed to know and pray with. Pray that they depend on God as a team, pray that as they play God will protect them, fill them with His Spirit and take them to the top for His glory!
Ok, honestly..if the Bruins win the NCAA Championship, that is a SIGN FROM GOD THAT REVIVAL IS DROPPING AT UCLA! (haha j/k) But, I’m still Praying they win and that God will use it for His purposes. Word. UCLA FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
I was there at Hillsong Conference in July, the atmosphere was electric. I love this song it’s one of my favorites, it’s sooo ANOINTED, I can feel it just watching and praising God to this, I love to worship God! I love His manifest presence! Come Holy Spirit come! You are mighty to Save Jesus!
Thanks for the prayers for UT tonight, the Holy Spirit fell in the middle of campus, students were repenting of sin, crying out for the infilling of the Holy Spirit, students obeyed God and immediately were baptized in water tonight, reports came in of students being divinely healed of sicknesses, it was like being in the middle of the temple square in the book of Acts. This is just night one, keep interceding, we ask for more Holy Spirit!
One day, in the middle of every college campus we will be worshipping like this in the outdoors, in every stadium in every city across the nations, WORSHIP GOD!
Dear Praying friends,
I am currently praying and preparing at the University of Texas, Austin. Please
pray for me, Neil Cole and our co-workers at UT (Campus Renewal Ministries).
God has been doing an amazing work of unity, prayer and mission on this campus among the Body of Christ. Campus ministries and local churches have been praying and working together in unity to see the campus utterly transformed with God’s glory for a few years now.
Currently, our network has established a permanent 24-7 prayer room @ UT and we have nearly 120 simple church plants (Authentic Faith Communities)at UT and are believing after the trainings in the next few days to see over 200 student led simple churches established this year to reach the lost at UT.
I will be speaking and training campus staff workers, student leaders daily till Sat morning. Between 300-600 each evening for their united campus rallies.
Please pray..
1. Holy Spirit falls upon UT in revival fire and power
2. God uses my words to bring lasting change and fruit for His kingdom
3. No winds, rains or storms as it is currently bad weather and events
are outside
Many of you know of my life transforming experience at Singing Waters Ministry in Canada this past summer. You can read my testimony by clicking on “Aug 2006″ archives “Transformation of My Heart.” Well, I prayed to God that He would open doors for this ministry to be a blessing to others and he has answered my prayer. The Singing Waters ministry team will be coming to my home church “Harvest Rock Church” to hold a 3 day intensive conference “Transformed by the Power of Love” this coming Thurs-Saturday. Sunday, they will be holding a special session at Passion Church UCLA from 1-4pm.
Without question, if there was one ministry I would recommend to anyone to receive personal breakthrough and healing it would be Singing Waters. I know that online registration is over, but you can still register at the door. This ministry has absolutely been used by God to transform my life. I pray you will not miss this opportunity to receive a incredible blessing this coming weekend at my home church in Pasadena Ca to encounter the Holy Spirit and the truth of who you really are.

“Fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit” (Mike Bickle, links below to teaching)
Dear Friends,
This teaching by Mike Bickle has been through the years one of the most helpful and practical understandings of how to fellowship (talk) with the Holy Spirit. It is not about an “encounter” it is about a “daily discipline” of engaging with the Holy Spirit in conversation and pressing into His presence. If we are faithful with little, He will make us faithful with more.
Do not be discouraged as you earnestly seek to linger in the presence of the Holy Spirit. An Olympic runner does not become one over night, he or she, daily disciplines himself through exercise, practice and diligence in order to be in a state of champion like health and strength. In the same way, we must discipline our bodies, soul and spirit each day to press into knowing the Holy Spirit. Some days, we will encounter much, other days we may sense little, but be encouraged, the more we press into the Spirit of God, the more we will become aware of His presence in our lives. I sense His presence more with me today (after 9 years of fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit) than I did the first year, sensitizing our spirit to His Spirit, is a lifestyle and habit that is developed over time, not over night.
(Me and Pastor Philip’s kids in Taiwan, they are sooo CUTE, and his baby boy loves to beat me up!)
Today, I decided to take the day off :) It was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. After coming back from Asia, I’ve still have been going non-stop like the energizer bunny ministering from one thing to the next. Well, I think last night after Passion Church 1 my battery ran out. Haha, Joyce led the Bible study on Matthew 18, how in order to enter into the kingdom of God we must become like little children, if not, we won’t enter in. Interesting. To enter into the kingdom, Jesus calls us not to grow up, but to grow down. Not to be more responsible, but to have no responsibilities. Children have no worries, always seem to trust, never seem to doubt, but have an ability to believe…almost anything! They trust more, depend more, are more humble and have a simple faith. I need to be like a child again, I feel like Holy Spirit is asking me to play more, instead of minister more. Sometimes, I think the Holy Spirit wants me to stop looking at ministry as work, but more as play :) Whut tha?
These are pix from an solemn assembly gathering we had in Hong Kong rallying over 1000 young people in the middle of downtown to pray, commit to a life of purity before marriage and to repent of the sin of abortion. I had no idea, HK was the abortion capital city of the world. Every 1 in 3 babies is aborted at the womb, this statistic terrified my heart. I shared my story there, how my mother almost aborted me, but thanks be to God, I am here today, alive, loving life because of God’s grace. Pray for two things among Hong Kong’s youth.
1)Passion for purity – against sexual immorality
2)Ending of abortion
May we give up the lesser pleasures of this world, for the extravagant pleasures of knowing God. May God raise up a standard when the enemy comes in like a flood. Our God reigns, let us stand for righteousness in this hour!

Recently, after coming back from my trip in Asia I experienced a reality that I had not thought seriously of before. How short one’s life can be. I woke up one night around 3am a week ago, with excruciating pain in my stomach. It lasted for hours and it was pain I had never felt before. I asked God for grace and immediately asked for His mercy to help me. The pain subsided enough for me to wake the next morning for the training. I felt incredibly weak, wanted to go to the hospital, but I was scheduled to speak that following day in Nor Cal for a Campus Crusade Epic conference. I went up by faith, and ended up at Kaiser in the ER and had to have blood tests taken and a physical. My sister, who studies medicine warned me it could be an ulcer because of my irregular eating habits, lack of juices and HIGH STRESS. Alot of thoughts were running through my mind during this period. I repented before God for not taking better care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. I guess 5 years of non-stop plane travel, time zone changes, irregular eating and intense pressure can even wear down a 26 year old body “for even youth grow tired and weary” Isaiah 40:30 At the same time, I could feel the spirtual warfare around me, having been attacked in my weakness right before 3 major training conferences where we saw great breakthrough and revival. Whatever the case, I couldn’t help but not shake the thought of how fragile our life is.
