hey!

[@john1499]

Wow, with her testimony, i feel the Holy Spirit. At the 2019 Randy Clark Healing and Impartion School at Bethel Redding, one evening, Haley was on the platform at the civic, giving words of knowledge as attendees were to pray for one another. Haley said, " HEARING." The lady in the row in front of me raised her hand. I asked what was going on. She said she was partially deaf in her left ear . As i was finding words to pray, my right hand started shaking. Then i raised my hand above her head. ( we were standing) . Then as i touched the top of her head, i blew air on her. BAM !!!! THE POWER HIT. She dropped like a rock into her seat. I then learned over and commanded the ears to be opened in the name of Jesus. We tested... she could hear good now. I told this testimony to Haley when she came to the Seattle Revival Center along with Bobby Connor. Hayley Braun is just wonderful Jesus is King Peace / Shalom

He stretched his hand and held my right hand I fell down to my knees and I couldn't look him in his eyes suddenly some stars appeared and gave so much light..I prayed several times saying thank you Lord and I woke up

I recently finished reading your book. There was a paragraph were you talked about washing dishes and the cup needing to be filled. You summarized it precisely with "fear, insecurity, pride, and the need for recognition (which stems from fear) can become a limit on our vessel". I feel like that is were I am though I have been a Christian for decades. Prayers for a breakthrough are appreciated. God bless.

[@BanronS]

Have you had a breakthrough yet?

Forget your feelings and trust Gods word! Feelings are like money. Sometimes you have none, sometimes you have, and at other times you have so much you just have to share.

[@SavedSpartan]

Listening to you brings tears to my eyes. I was baptized long ago but foolishly took control of my life . In my early 50s, during a difficult time, I experienced a profound connection with God that I can’t fully explain. Now, even while living alone, I can talk to the Lord, who feels like a living spirit always next to me. When something goes wrong, I find myself laughing about it with Him-it’s like a joke between us. Some may think I’m crazy, but I know what happened and that’s what matters. I share this because I hope that, in your time of need, God will seek you out and restore you as He did with me. Amen. Thank you, Lord, for Your mercy.

[@Bethel_Online]

Thank you so much for sharing your heart with us.

I need a fresh encounter with the Lord definitely! After 45 tears of chronic illness, being disabled after huge backsurgery, living on morfin because of nervepains, struggling with CPTSD and having to depend on negative carers in my house leaves me busy with one problem after the other. Lord You have promised só much for my life. Come and have Your way in me.

[@franciscomoscoso13]

Woooow!!! I’m so hungry for having deeper encounters with God. This year has been so and so hard, but I’ve never experience Him like I have this year. I’ve grown so much in such a short period of time. I have this huge hunger that consumes everything in me. I now longer think the same, see the same nro breath the same. The only thing satisfying me right now it’s Him. Being with Him, in His word and His presence. I’ve been broken and made anew again and again and I just need to be near Him every day of my life. I want more, so much more and I know He has put this fire in me and that He is faithful to guide me towards the places He wants me to be. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Hayley Braun is just anointed with the Holy Spirit in a way that every time I hear her speak this hunger of mine starts jumping inside of me.

I had a similar encounter about 5 years ago. The Spirit of the Lord fell upon me when I least expected it. I did realize how broken I was Was was radically healed and restored . I was over whelmed for months a s even talking about it I feel his presence. There's nothing like it. Draw close to him and see what God can do for you, You can be the hands and voice of God to the world. Blessings Dan

I want an encounter too. I tap into this even as you came through for her.. Pls dear Jesus help me... I also need a shift... I'm simply tired of everything and I don't want to get disconnected from you Lord. But I don't understand. can you help me... Surrender, love You, Worship You, Praise You. Adore You and to be Yours forever because I havw given my life to You. You're merciful oh God. You're good and kind. But I need You to help me... Lord, I'm draining and dying... Pls hear me out Lord.

[@AnnAnna-io2mn]

Thank you so much Hayley. After dropping this some days ago, Jesus finally came through for me. It was on Saturday. I was praying to God. Letting Him know how tired and fed up I am and I've been praying to God after I watched this clip that the Lord would also grant me encounters (my mind was focused on having a face to face encounter with Him but at the same time, I was having this that even if God would not show up the way I want it, then I want Him to just help me in the way He prefers) I prayed just to let Him know I needed a shift or something that could just let me out of this and then a scripture just raced through my mind and it was Heb 11:6 and that was how everything changed. I got better. God opened my eyes to see that Faith was really my problem. I had only allowed fear and doubt to creep in and my faith was really shaking so it just seemed like my ship was going to wreck but as that scripture dropped in my heart, I had this sense of peace. I knew where the problem was coming from and what I needed to do. And truthfully, the Holy Spirit has been a great helper and teacher indeed. A revealer of secret indeed. Everytime, I come into God's presence not knowing what ti study, He's always helping me out. I'm grateful to God. ... By Faith, I will continually walk by Faith and not by sight. I will not again allow that fear but rather depend totally on the God who knows me in and out. I believe that the moment we stop recognizing the Lord in all situations of life, we tend to have a ship-wreck but as soon as we start to recognize Him as our only Helper and the moment He steps into it, everything changes. I'm grateful to God and to you also for sharing this. Glory to God🙌

i was crying watching this testimony. Thank you for your life Hayley, it makes me long for more of God

[@godsprincesscreated1905]

When Haley Brown said: „God is not looking for perfect, He is looking for what He can have.“ I started crying because I feel this constant need for perfection towards God, that I need to be perfect for Him to use me, to love me. Somewhere in my head I know that that's not true but I feel like there are so many bricks between me and that »Somewhere« that it's out of reach for me.

[@Bethel_Online]

What a beautiful revelation -- that went straight to your heart - you don't need to be perfect! We pray that God will continue to dismantle all the misconceptions of His love for you, brick by brick!

My jaw is on the floor. Not the same story but I had weeks of this too. On and off. The fear of the LORD filled my room with his love and power, the Holy spirit encountered me in my living room and grocery store. The woman at the cash registered just looked at me and started crying and said “you’re a child of God.” I was then crying and shaking trying to check out . I was radically changed forever. Not many understand my story but this lets me know there’s believers out there who do 😭😭😭😭

[@ericmuetterties1984]

@@john1499 That was to the twelve. Jesus is the same, but His instructions are not to all. Context is everything. Even the 72 were sent to Israel, not the Gentiles. Can everyone do all these things? No - 1 Corinthians 12... Matthew 10 (The most misused text by the NAR) Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.

Both the woman and I felt a tangible move from her body to mine and back again. After I had that encounter, I had a smile on my face that I could not remove. It was like my cheeks were stuck in SMILE. It could’ve been hours! I don’t know! I felt like I was in a haze, but I now realize that I received the power of the Holy Spirit, and eventually understood tongues. God is so good! And may we continue to lean into and on the power and the personhood of the Holy Spirit.

God always seems so kind, caring, and loving to those who got their problems solved. But what about those who pray all day, very faithful to god, but suffered all throughout their life? Those who are dirt poor, kids who died early, people who are blind and deaf, or paralyzed their whole life? These are only a few of the examples but it's so weird how some of these religious people never question that, makes me think they have a very self-centered way of viewing things.
