What I'm actually up to! :)

I'm about to begin my second year program! Specialized training and mentoring will be available to me for specific areas of ministerial calling. I feel called to explore further training in inner healing and deliverance, kingdom creativity in fashion and media--redeeming fashion, arts and media, pastoring, coaching and preaching.  The format will be hands-on and application intensive and includes periodic travel as I participate with ministry teams throughout the region and nation. I will demonstrate signs and wonders, train the local congregation in supernatural ministry and take them into their community to do treasure hunts (i.e. these are prophetic spontaneous encounters where Believers look for hidden treasure in the hearts of the folks of their city).

The academic instruction at BSSM is unique because it is taught by apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers - not by professors or theologians. This gives the teaching a kind of living perspective with five-fold distinctions. BSSM has many powerful guest speakers throughout the year but the primary teaching is accomplished through our twenty-two staff members.
I receive a great deal of historic commentary and insight into the scriptures but I'm also immersed in a revelatory culture where the Holy Spirit becomes the chief instructor. He causes His Kingdom to come alive through the pages of the Bible.

This year is a real catalyst for taking tangible steps towards my personal dreams. For example, I've begun the process of starting my own business, Sparrow Image Consulting. The Lord wants us to be adorned not only with external things but with your SPIRIT. I'm joining the Lord's call for his children to reflect Him and the uniqueness of their spirits. Who's artistic expressions carry His presence and change the world around them. I want to strip off the lies of how we perceive ourselves and pull forth the truth of being created in his image. Wounds, pain, lies and opinions from the world should not dictate what we reflect. I want to see you whole and healthy. I want to talk with you about how you perceive yourself and why. How have you arrived at what you reflect. It's time to show your 'hidden person of the heart'! I am passionate about transformation and seeing people walk in their true identities. As your consultant I will make style and clothing suggestions to transform your outward appearance based on what your spirit should reflect. The experience is a unique blend of inner healing and fashion. Beauty is a spiritual gift. The enemy has used beauty as a tool of manipulation. Beauty has been distorted. Women and men of integrity have lost the influence they are called to have in everyday life, jobs, media, fashion and the arts. Its time to claim back the beauty of the Lord and INFLUENCE the influential.

Through this concept, I hope to use my time and resources this year to develop a curriculum that can be taught in schools and/or conferences. I've met with Bethel staff and have their support in this. There are exciting opportunities ahead!!!

I will  take the skills and core values I've learned in First Year and begin to develop my own ministry. I will choose a revival and a revivalist from history and investigate them with a view to forging similar dynamics in my own life. I will also learn leadership principles to gain understanding on how to lead people and establish the Kingdom in every realm of society.

In the past year, my passion has grown for coaching others as well. This year, I was chosen to be a student developer. A Student Developer is responsible for developing others in areas that they are motivated to change.  This is done through strategically challenging them to take steps towards their destiny or set goals to gain breakthrough. I will learn more about becoming an empowering leader. It is important for any great leader to empower those around them.

I've also been chosen to work with CareNet. CareNet is a faith based, pro-life, non-profit organization practically serving people in the community with specific needs regarding pregnancy tests, STD/HIV tests, sonograms, parenting classes, baby clothes, post-abortion counseling, etc. This would entail interacting with various walk-in clients regarding different resources of the center, meeting one on one with clients, mentoring, follow up interaction, etc.  It is an incredible opportunity to partner with Holy Spirit and speak to clients about their sexuality, life experiences and begin the process of healing.

'I've also begun to paint prophetically. Since we were formed in the likeness of God, who's very nature is creative and artistic, it follows that we too have that same bent.

Genesis spells it out to us clearly: Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

We were fashioned after the image of one who is ultra creative, meaning that our creative potential is unlimited.

Sadly though, it is common for man to shut down this creative well and never ever tap into it or release it.

In this last year attending Bethel School of Ministry, I've learned that I am an artist. I've started to re-dig the wells of my God breathed and inspired creativity to collaborate with Holy Spirit to capture pictures that affect the atmosphere around me and cause others to come into an encounter with Jesus.'

I've hit some of the bullet points of life in for me in REDDING! ;) Life is full and glorious. I'm continually saying that I can not believe the Lord loves me this much... to send me to this place for a season of intimacy and growth! I can not complain about a thing. I could also write a book about the healing that has happened for me. Irreplaceable moments I've had with God that have grown my root system, molded my heart, covered me in safety and uncovered my true identity.

Your support in prayer and finances makes this all possible. Without your covenant the fullness of this all cannot happen! Thank you for believing in the path the Lord has me on.

I have 2 accounts set up with Bethel for tuition support and ministry/mission trip support. The website is www.ibssm.org. Click 'Give to BSSM' , 'Make donation to tuition and travel' and then enter my name! If your heart is to support my personal finances for the year I have a secure paypal account set up. Just got to www.healthebrokenhearted.blogspot.com/ and click on the paypal button on the top right hand side of the screen.



Grace and Peace,

Prophetic Art for Sale!
You can capture the heart of God and release his kingdom through art. Last march, I went on a ministry trip to England. It was there, that the Lord opened up my desire to paint. He showed me his heart and it began to release through my hands. I had tapped into various creative outlets, but I did not know that I could paint. Painting with the Holy Spirit is a crazy experience. :) It's an encounter. He speaks through you and his kingdom is released through the creative! It's incredible. Our Father is the most creative being and we are made in his image. There is no limit to our creativity! Our inheritance is from him! Holy Spirit lives inside of us and we are all artists!


I am selling my art work. This album shows what Holy Spirit and I have created so far. Some of them have already been sold but I can create something along those same lines for you--Taking custom orders!  
I'm attending second year at Bethel School for supernatural Ministry; all proceeds will go towards tuition and travel.

2nd year at BSSM :)

Friends and Family,

As many of you know, I spent the last year in Redding, CA at Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry. The year was full of incredible growth for me. Daily, I am aware of how much the Lord loves me. He gave me the choice to let him love me. He loved me so much that he took me to a place where I could rest in his presence and get to know more of the multi-faceted nature of himself. He has given me revelation after revelation of who he is and who I am. I have been equipped with much from my studies and experiences at school. It would be impossible to explain them all but a few are: peeling off the lies and labels I carried, a revealing of my true identity in Him, an awakening of dreams, and planting of new dreams, revelation of intimacy, revelation of love, time to go deep with him, daily teaching from anointed leaders, studying of his word and comprehension of the audience it was written for and how it applies to today, chances to preach from my life experiences and bring hope to others, acceptance/understanding/development of my spiritual gifts, bringing heaven to earth, healing ministry, further training in deliverance ministry, covenant relationships, personal healing and restoration, equipping to stand in the midst of the darkest things and let hope, peace and love prevail, testing of faith and being found full of love, encounters with Holy Spirit, reading numerous books on his nature, awaking my love of prophetic painting, revival, culture of honor, healing and encouragement of my family, understanding my inheritance, opportunities to minister daily here and around the world, networking of the body of Christ, wholeness, extravagant worship and the list goes on.....

I have been accepted to 2nd year! This year will be a chance to solidify what I've learned. I have learned so much and been given the opportunity to make it my DNA. To not just begin to understand and be open to it all, but let the revelations and experiences penetrate my life. Second year offers me specialized training and mentoring for the specific areas of ministerial calling in my life. The format will be hands-on and application intensive and includes periodic travel as I participate with ministry teams throughout the region and nation.

The year's tuition will cost $3700. My deposit was due last week and it is completely taken care of!!!! Thank you Lord and all for blessing me! So, the new grand total is $3300. $1850 of this is due by Sept 7th, 2010.

The school of supernatural ministry provides two accounts for each student. I have a tuition account and a travel account. One of my 'in state ministry trips' is included in my tuition. The rest of the ministry and missions trips I participate in will be in addition to my tuition needs and be funded by donations received to my travel account. It is my dream to travel much this year and learn and draw from the anointing of specific leadership this year. I will choose my trips based on the Lord's highlighting of the needs of the nation, the role I am to play and the importance of learning from the leader heading the trip. All to further equip me in specific areas of ministry that I am called to. :) All donations are tax deductible.

These two accounts are available at www.ibssm.org. Click on Give to BSSM. Type in my name and then select the account you'd like to give to.

Many of you helped to support me during this last year through your prayers, encouragement and finances. I am truly grateful to all of you and I could not have served without you. I am writing to request, once again, that you would consider partnering with me. :)

The other account I have set up is for my personal provision. It is a secure paypal account. I am in the process of starting my own Image consulting business. This will allow me to pursue an important God breathed dream and focus on my commitment to the 2nd year program and travel. If you'd like to donate that way, you can just click the donate button at the bottom of this post.

I love you all very much. I am honored that you have taken the time to read this and look forward to loving this world together and seeing complete transformation and breakthrough for His children!!!!




Grace and Peace,
Lyndsey
