One night, I had a vision. In this vision, there was a city on top of a crocodile which was doing a hand stand on top of a rock. This image portrayed the fragileness of life in the city. A single earthquake can strike at anytime like how a crocodile could snap open its mouth to attack its prey and completely destroy it at an instance. A city could easily become imbalanced and over turned at a split moment. Lives could be so easily destroyed, while rebuilding takes so much time and effort. In our lives, we should cherish every moment on the things that really matters, on the things that will last forever. We will never have enough time because we are merely a vapor in the wind.

When I first started seeing visions, I got overdosed in seeing visions and dreams. It was a lot of good stuff. But too much of it made me overdose from it. It’s good to see visions from heaven, but it’s also important to keep a clear and focused mind when it is needed. Seeing too much visions can be dangerous at the wrong times. Here’s a story I’ll share that’s connected with this drawing:

The first time I saw a for realz Jesus healing miracles was in in December 2007. I was at San Diego Mall with my spiritual father/big brother/friend, Jaeson Ma, for my first experience. We went to the mall to eat tacos and burritos and before we said grace for our food. When we prayed, I saw a vision of an African American mid-aged women, wearing white heals, while holding a child. I described the picture I saw to Jaeson and he said, “wow, I saw something very similar. I saw an African American mid-aged women, wearing a purple long sleeve, while holding hands with a child.”

After I finished my taco and he finished his burrito, a mid-aged African American women wearing purple long sleeve sat down right next to our table. Jaeson said, “there she is, we found her.” I got really excited and wanted to see if she was wearing a pair of white heals. I stood up and looked, but she wasn’t wearing white heals. Jaeson said, “I think God wants to purely heal her and her child.”

We approached her and told her that we saw a vision of her and asked if she had a child that needs healing prayer. She said yes, she had a 16 year old son who had type-2 diabetes. We asked if we can pray for her on the spot and she agreed. We sat down and prayed for her son. After praying for her son, we asked if she had any part of her body that needs healing prayer. She showed us her hand and she had arthritis so she can’t open up her handeven to hold an object like an apple. We asked if we can pray for her hand and she believed that Jesus can heal her. We prayed for her and asked her how it feels now. She looks at her hand and opens it up completely wide! She was in shock, her eyes became really big like this: O_O

I was even more shocked because it was my first time witnessing an instant miracle. I drove to LA to take Jaeson back home. While driving I was still in LA LA Land because I encountered God’s healing power for the first time. As I was driving, I almost hit a couple while they were crossing the cross walk. It was my bad. Jaeson rebuked me yelling, “HOWIE WAKE UP! YOU CAN’T BE SO HEAVILY MINDED THAT YOU’RE NO EARTHLY GOOD. YOU GOTTA BE SUPERNATURALLY NATURAL.” I woke up and everything was fine thank God.

After that incident, I lived supernaturally natural. My tolerance of witnessing power encounters became a natural lifestyle, witnessing hundreds of miracles until I lost count, yet at the same time still in awe of God’s presences every time. There was a point in life when I was shocked if the person wasn’t heal instantly. But Holy Spirit has been showing many things of the way he work through me.

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:35-37

Jesus performed miracles not only to prove his divinity or to convert the people around him. He did it out of love to show his disciples, including us today, how lovely a miracle is done, so that we may do the same unto those who need.

All Christians have the authority to heal the sick, cast out demons, and raise the dead whether they know it or not. But what if other people who aren’t Christians are also healing the sick, casting out demons, and raising the dead? Aren’t their fruits the same? Doesn’t the Bible say…”By their fruits, you will know”? Isn’t healing someone who is sick a good thing?

Yes, by their fruits you will know, but you also got to look at its roots, what is underneath. Not all healing channels are from the Holy Spirit. Any supernatural healing and miracles outside of Jesus name and power taps into the demonic realm for supernatural power and energy.

This drawing shows that not all roots that go down deep are truly going deep into the right path. Anything outside of Christ will not lead into life. Get your roots planted deep by the River of Life.

A family is composed of many different types of characters. Not one family member is the same. They can be very similar, but everyone is definitely different. Some members are long, some are very big. Some are very round and spiky, while some are very dotty. Although some float around and may appear to be similar, they are different because one can be spontaneous and another can be cute and bright.

We’re just a batch of missed matched characters trying to find a place called home. We just want to be loved without any strings attached, because a healthy relationship should not have selfish motives, but it is selfless. It doesn’t matter if we are thin or wide, tall or short, up or down, far or near, rich or poor, young or old, and loud, medium, or soft. A family is a family and that’s what it is. I emphasize this: it definitely doesn’t matter if we are completely broken or partially healed.

Family is where the heart is, the most important thing about a family is that you got each other to enjoy each other. At the end of the day, family is all you got to come home to.

A little tree in a pot saw a big tree and asked the older tree if one day he’ll ever grow as big as him. The big tree replied to the little tree,

“Yes. Once you are planted into the ground like me you will slowly grow as big as me!”

“Yay!” squeaks the little tree.

The little tree was very happy and excited to know that one day when he’s taken out of his little pot he will be planted and will become just as big as the older tree. The reason why the little tree is still in a pot is because the gardener is waiting for the right season and the exact place to plant his precious tree in his garden. It does not mean that the tree is worthless, it just means that the little tree is worth a lot to the gardener so it is being well protected. When the time is right, the little tree will be taken out of its pot and will be carefully planted into the earth. The newly planted tree will also go through many seasons of fruitfulness and barrenness, but the gardener will enjoy eating his sweet delicious fruit.
