Wings Spread again for Second Year At Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry

Dear Lovely People, On the 27th August 2012 at approximately 7am I will be leaving the safety of the English shores and will be heading for West coast of America to a town called Redding in California. As I embark on this next stage of my life, I am asking people to partner with me as I begin the journey of the Path God has set for me to walk. I would like to just go over some of the highlights from my first year at BSSM ‘Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry’, and share a few of the things that have changed my life. Then I would like to give you an overview of what my second year will look like. Over the next year, I would like to write to you and maybe even post some videos to keep you updated with what been happening and tell you about the amazing things Gods been teaching me, and relaying any testimonies of what I been through, experienced and seen. BSSM was set up for leaders; for people who felt they were called not just to be a child of God, but felt they were called to ministry. The school targets those who are chosen to be leaders of men. BSSM is committed to the truth that God loves people, gave Himself for them and has given His Church supernatural power to bring individuals and nations into wholeness. The school emphasizes that believers need to return to the ministry of signs and wonders—to minister in love, truth and the power of God. The mission of BSSM is to equip and deploy followers of Jesus Christ who passionately pursue transformation in their God-given spheres of influence. The school emphasizes hands on training and experience along with academic understanding. This creates a ‘Do and Teach’ culture where all of the students are expected to take risks to stretch their faith and grow in their understanding of God. BSSM believes that each verse of the Bible is an invitation into an experience with the Lord, therefore the students are challenged to live the Bible First year is about learning the core values of the kingdom and letting them become heart knowledge and not just head knowledge. The main focus of first year was learning about my Royal Identity as a child of God. During the year each of us students received impartation of the gifts of the spirit and we were empowered by our mentors and teachers to learn how to walk in the power of God. They allowed us to practically walk out the call of God on our lives. Our tutors intentionally put us in situations where we could experience the power of faith, and grow in confidence as we prayed for healing and many other things. My first year, I have to say it was one of the most difficult years of my life, but definitely the most rewarding one so far. It took a lot of courage to allow God to go through my heart and perform heart surgery on me. I had to face a lot of my own demons and mostly a lot of just bad habits. I had to face things like; a lot of the things that had gone wrong in my life had nothing to do with the devil, because he’s not that big, and in the end they were just me, I had created all them on my own. During my first year, there were many heart wounds that God worked on and healed. He also pin pointed a lot of areas in my life where I was holding someone in unforgivness, which was holding me back and poisoning my heart and my life. During my first year, God began to take the pieces of my heart and put them back together again. In the process I learnt to trust again, I learnt to open my heart and be brave. I learnt that I have a voice, and people want to hear what I have to say. I learnt that I do matter. I learnt that God wants to fulfil the desires of my heart, because He created me to have them. During my first year I witnessed many personal financial miracles, and was practically living on thin air for 6 months, but still paying all my bills and having money left over. Through that experience God really taught me who my provider was, and really transformed my faith in Him to take care of even little things like personal cleaning products, I learnt that he cares about all my needs and will certainly take care of them when I decide to let him. During that time I also witnessed many healing miracles that truly put God in a new light for me. But most of all, for the first time in my life I really got to know who Father God was on an intimate level. Since being home from first year, I have really begun to see how the foundation of my Royal Identity has changed me from the inside out. I have watched myself and seen the change taking place around me, I now look in the mirror and see a mighty women of God starring back at me, when before I used to see this little crushed child who was supposed to become someone important one day. Second Year: Second Year takes the skills and values learned in first year, and empowers us to develop our own individual ministries. During second year I will be asked to choose a historic revival and a revivalist from history and investigate them with a view to forging similar dynamics in my own life. During the year I will so learn leadership principles to gain understanding on how to lead people and establish the Kingdom in every realm of society. During second year I will be set the task of running either a community outreach or a community ministry. I will have anywhere from 8-15 First year students who will be looking to me for training, instruction, equipping, and empowering for them to minister in the areas they wish to, as well as coordinating the outreach or ministry. I could also get opportunities to go on ministry trips all over the US or even around the world. Bethel Ministry has many different programmes running that help some shelters, orphanages, and many satellite schools around the US that always need equipping and pouring into, etc. So to recap, during second year, I will be taught how to be an inspirational leader, I will be taught how lead, following the principles that God has set out and I will come more in to the Woman, God created me to be. Over the past year God has laid a truth on my heart that I just can’t shake, it just keeps causing me to vibrate with it. He has spent a long time talking to me about holiness, purity, and sacredness. During first year God told me that my name was ‘Pure’. When He told me that, I could only see it in terms of Him washing me clean, with His blood, because I knew that I was clean because of His blood, but I couldn’t fathom any further meaning. But God had so many dimensions of meaning when he told me my name. Over the past year He has been taking me back through scriptures that talk about being set apart before I was formed in my mother womb. He has kept taking me through scriptures and speaking to me about a higher self, a Holy self, set apart for the Glory of God, where He calls me Holy, over and over again. About six months ago I got a revelation from God that has truly changed my life, and who I am. It has grounded me so firmly to the Rock of God that I know I can never be moved, because I now know who I am, I now know who He created me to be and it doesn’t matter how much the devil huffs and puffs, he ain’t never gonna blow this house down. Father God revealed this to me; “Child, my precious Child, why do you insist on being dirty, when I have washed you clean, why do you insist on calling yourself unworthy, when I made you worthy. My beautiful daughter, why do you insist on calling yourself a sinner when I said you where Holy as I am Holy. My Beloved little girl, I named you ‘Pure’ before I formed you in your mother’s womb, I knew all that you would be, do and become, and I named you Pure! I looked across your life and saw it all and I delighted in you, and celebrated because of what I named you. My Cherished, I gave you your name, before you ever had a chance to sin or to dirty your beautiful hands. Know this my Chosen Child, your name was never determined by your actions, and it never can be. My lovely, there is not a single action you can do that will change who you are, and what I created you to be.” If I ever had an Epiphany this was it, because I have honestly been a different person since. This is a truth that I just can’t keep to myself. God has been storing in me, a passion, a fire for the oppressed, for people who have been crushed by failure, ravaged by despair, bound by insecurities, and left destitute by the lies of the devil. God has given me such fervour for those who think they are too dirty for God or not good enough for His love, Grace and Mercy and those who believe earnestly that God despises them for their mistakes, failures and shortcomings. God has given me such a zeal to see the destruction of the disease of discouragement and self condemnation. He has given me a vision of release, a dream of renewal, a prophesy of rebirth, and a message of Identity and Truth. As I embark on this new season, it is this passion, this ministry that I am chasing. The Verse I feel God has set before me as a life Guide is; Isaiah 58v10-14 If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, And your darkness shall be as the noonday. 11 The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. 12 Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. 13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honourable, And shall honour Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken.” So with this letter, I humbly ask for your partnership and support as I go through this challenging year. I am sure there will be many laughs and many tears, and I can guarantee that I will sleep sounder knowing you are supporting me. I know that God will bless you abundantly as you partner with him to train His child. Most importantly, I ask for you to keep me in your prayers while I am away at school. If you feel lead to cover me in prayer on a more regular basis, as in a ‘Prayer Partner’ please let me know, so that I can spend some more time sharing my prayer needs with you, and praying with you. It would also be helpful for me to get your Skype address so we can talk and pray together while I am away in California. The other way that you can partner with me is financially. While I am away in the states for 9 months, I am not allowed to work in the US and have to completely support myself. I am currently covered for all my basics, but any additional funds would really help out. You can give directly to my school account; please see the details below on how to do that. Even if it’s as little as £5 a month, or a one off payment it will all help me get by and will add to my year of training by allowing me to go on more ministry trips. If you do feel lead to help me financially you can do so here: At the bottom of the green box there is box that says ‘Give Online’ The link once clicked:
You can either donate to my tuition, my mission’s trip, or to my travel for ministry. Choose an option and follow the instructions from there. You can make payments with your credit or debit card. I will keep everyone updated throughout the year, and if any of you would like to talk, or catch up, or just find out what’s going on in my life, please, please feel free to write to me any time. I would love to get your emails and messages. So I will keep you all updated on the events of my life over the next 9 months and let you know what all your prayers and support have been doing for me! Lots of Love and Blessings Tasha xx
