It has been an amazing yr!

Wow, hello friends it has been an amazing year to say the least.  With many conferences and opportunities to minister to those around us God has continued to love on his children.  Wonderful seeing God heal and bring his children into the kingdom!  Made many friends along the way and God has grown within and thru me.
Below are memories ranging from teaching from our great leader Randy Clark, to many great teachers/speakers like Leif Hetland, Trisha Frost, Rob Stoppard, Rolland Baker and many more. Along with that are memories of ministry times in Baltimore and on the street here in Harrisburg PA, to classmates wedding, various roomate pics to meeting new friends and graduating first yr!

The first semester was a time of gaining an emotional, physical and spiritual understanding of who I am and what truely is my identity; a Child of God, His daughter, His beloved, His worthy of Love.  The second semester was more of a prunning; a time where God showed what i needed to let go of and get rid of in my life to be better equipped for ministry.

Each day, each week and month God has provided financially for my needs, wither it be out of the blew i picked up hours (like this wk!)  from my various 3 jobs or wither i was blessed by one of you financially; God has continued and i know will continue to provide for me.  As you know my year was paid for by a donor what a blessing that was!

Now having graduated my first year at Randy Clarks; Supernatural School of Ministry I look forward to 2nd yr starting in Sept.  Until then i will be working; looking for a full time job for the summer going into the school yr... (prayer request)  My plan; God willing/directing is to continue my schooling and after 2nd semester of practicum where we will travel, teach and preach around the US is to get a internship for my 3rd yr.  Also my hope and plan is to be certified and ordained as well in the next couple yrs!  So i am eager and can't wait to continue my education here in Mechancisburg, PA!  One yr done 2 more awesome yrs to go!

Papa/Father God has a plan for you and he loves you with a love unexplainable.....

Thank you all again for your prayers and love,

Amanda Hines

New Creation the best is yet to come!!!!

Colton Dixon wrote the song "Let them see you in me" for the last couple wks that has been my hearts cry. In 1 corinthians 13: 1-3 Paul is talking about ministry and from what we are to do ministry from; not self seeking worldly approval but from Love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

English Standard Version (ESV)

The Way of Love

13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.

What i love is that God knows us soooo deeply that he knows just what you need when you need it.  Lately and many times prior the Lord puts a song in my head, seriously like a radio switch gets flipped on in my head and i can hear the back up singers, the instruments its like a real radio its awesome! Anyway God knows he can get my attention by doing this and He does!  The last few days have been the songs, "Let them see you" and today it was "Love take me over" by Steven Curtis Chapman.  God surely has a sense of humor because ask me for a song i like and i go blank.  Or ask me to look for a song to encourage me i go blank i have to look on my youtube list thank you God for that!  LOL :)  Anyway, i say all this because God in the last 2 months has changed me forever!  He thru speakers like Leif Hetland and his mentor Trisha Frost (the late Jack Frost's wife) and the bible have taught me who i really am! Who are you really?  You are and what finally captivating me; HIS SON/DAUGHTER! You are the one He chose before the foundations of the world (Ephesian 1:4)  You are the one He made in your mothers womb, he knows the number of hairs on your head! (Psalm 139) Its amazing what love in the form of human touch can do! At the conference i go to in Greenlake WI yearly Leif hugged me and i felt God/Papa; i felt his liquid love go thru my body and i finally realized at that moment that God is my true father who has been here all along. He has never left me, he has never forsaking me as he says in his word (Hebrews 13:5 & Joshua 1:5).  2 wks ago i was working a overnight shift with my security job and i said God I NEED YOU! I DON'T WANT TO DO MINISTRY W/OUT LOVE! GOD IM TIRED OF THIS ORPHAN SPIRIT OF A LIFE OF REJECTION, LONELINESS, SELF HATE, FEAR OF LOVE!  CHANGE ME!!!!  I had 10 hrs by myself in a purse store so i took full advantage of this OPPORTUNITY to seek God!  So thru pursuing him verbally and on my knees he spoke at 4:30am (and thru the book by Trisha and Jack Frost, "Experiencing Father's Embrace"  http://www.amazon.com/Experiencing-Fathers-Embrace-John-Arnott/dp/0768423481)

In Romans 8:12-17 God spoke; 

"Amanda for too long you have lived with this slavery mentality; thinking you have to try harder or earn my love... (as in the new hope episode "stop it") Stop it! I have been here all along, you are mine and im not letting you go! You have had father figures and they have never fullfilled that void  (Romans 8:15-16), and i've been here all along your done with that im your father Amanda" -God

 I felt his Love on me and received him/God as father in a much deeper way and gave him my Orphan spirit.  Now lets back up for a moment. I have been thru 24 hrs of deliverance, breaking of soul ties, bondage and strongholds in my life with Ed and Sue (two awesome friends who lead people thru inner healing) over the past 2 months that ended on the monday before all the break thru that same wk!!!!! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahooooooooooooo!  Yea my face hurts; i can't stop smiling!!!!!!!!!!  Jesus is so awesome! 

My hope and prayer thru my blogs is that you may feel His love that you may know your identity not the one that comes from this world but the one that comes from a forgiving, loving, faithful, non-abandoning, non-rejection father God! He is calling your name what are you going to do? Its your move.... bless you have a awesome day!
