I remember as today, the first time someone asked me about my musical references. I didn’t even know the names I really liked, it was a little bit frustrating, but then I just lived in peace with my brain knowing that I’m not the best person to remember names, even when they are none all around the world.

As a new Christian, my focus wasn’t important people, I was new in the house of my Father, so even having my favorite songs I couldn’t imagine that I needed to pay more attention in that.

So, there I was crossing my journey, in a job super cool, that God showed me through three dreams, living something incredibly supernatural. Serious, in that place for the very first time I meet someone God saw me in a dream. Before that, I will have dreams with people I knew or famous people, but it was the first time God showed me someone I never met, the couple of boss I had.

My best friends of work, the place God revealed in a dream.

In that place, I felt that God was hiding me, as a lovable and protective father, but also partner in that place to reveal more of me to myself, and more of his voice. One normal day of job and I received a calling from a prophet I meet some months before. She wants to be close to me and we start to have a short time of praying together, where she gave me some words about that time. She still praying when I hear God’s voice saying

“I have a travel for you, something that has been postponed has now been scheduled.”

I share that with her asking her “Do you think that I really hear his voice or it comes from my head?” She didn’t answer that question, now I know why, was obvious. I hear his voice clearly. But, in that time I tough “Yes, finally I’m coming to Disneyland! God knows that this is my dream”. Can we stop a second to laugh? – HAHAHA – I feel so like a child sometimes.

Well, some days after that, in my time with God, He said: “Amanda, I want you to learn how to hold your own money, because you will need”.

So, He gave me a plan where I need to save an amount by month and his plan was for 10 months of savings, with my salary I will be able to have 14 thousand reais in that period, but without spend money in nothing ordinary, just paying bills, taxes and my tithe. That was ok for me, I was in that job for Him and I knew he has something big. Even because that will be a nice money to “go to disneyland”.

My time with daddy was every day, every time, but I had a special encounter with him at 11PM. That was our time alone, and it was scheduled to 11PM, but after some months I couldn’t resist him, so I will be there at 9 or 8PM, I was so intense that I will come from my work, sometimes will not eat and I will run for my room to meet him.

In that days, my birthday was coming, so I choose to thanksgiving God for my life in a fasting. Serious, in my home church we believe in the power of fasting, so wasn’t something really new, the thing is, in that moment I had a revelation to just go to give and not to receive, was the best fasting ever. Also, in my fasting time I like to pray more, so in the time I will be eating I go to my prayer time.

In the 23^thof January, three days before my 27^thbirthday, I had an encounter with Holy Spirit. In that moment, He said that they love my curiosity and as a birthday gift I could ask everything I want to know and they will answer. I don’t know you, but I’m the type of curious person that love to ask and also to dig deep until I found some treasure.

After many Q.A. with my best friend Holy Spirit, I ask the most childlike question and he said “Amanda, just you to ask this kind of questions. Because, I like your question I want to show you in person”. That’s was the second time I saw heaven, but actually the first time I just saw the stairs and the angels. He just leads me to the throne room, where I saw angels also, and I could meet four of my angels. With them, Holy spirit showed me one more place in heaven. COME ON! I was wholly amazed with all that I saw, all that He answered me and gave to me. But, with God is never ended, and He said actually I will show you one more place you will love this!

So, I come back in a dream, where I saw a huge and beautiful grass where I seat. Incredible things happened in that dream, but I need more than one post to speak about that. The thing is, in that dream I saw the grass of the place God said I will go.

Was a direction, the problem was, I didn’t know where was that place. After that, God reveal to me that I will go to a school to have a time with him, to know more about him and about myself. Some prophets come to me, and they gave me words about a school, totally confirming what God was speaking with me.

So, one of them, Renato Pastene, gave me a nice tip “Amanda, if God is asking you about a school, start to ask with school you need to go”, he also shows me one school for worship leaders that will start in Brazil, with really good references. But, wasn’t there.

Asking that question to Holy Spirit, one day he spoke with me “Amanda, do you know the first song that you loved when you gave your life to Jesus, the one your friend Nathi, sended to you, go to that song again”. I always loved to hear that song, and I was so in love for the presence of God through that singer, but I never remember the names. So, I found the song on Youtube and guess why? The loft sessions of Bethel Music, with Jenn Johnson singing “Come to me”.

“Don’t look to the right to the left… keep your eyes on me”, I can cry for hours with this song, he touch me so deep, as Dad calling me to be close to him and showing me that he is with me. Well, I also liked one more song, and Holy Spirit encourage me to listen. The same sessions of Bethel, with Stephany Gretzinger singing “You know me”.

I listened their songs, what I didn’t paid attention was that Bethel was not just a worship, but have much more treasures in this place. Also, my boss sometimes speaks about this place, but I didn’t know, I just didn’t realize. But, Holy Spirit as a good good friend, said to me to try to know more about their lives, Jenn and Stephany. As the curious I’m, I found many things about them, easily got addicted to Bethel Music, heaving deep encounters with Father through they’re songs.

One day, I found a video where Stephany speak about a school she had studied, and Holy Spirit said “Amanda, you go to this place”. So, I found a name “BSSM” and here I come to the website where I found many things, and also saw that this place was in California. I’ve never though that study outside of my country will be possible to me, my parents didn’t have how to support that. I spoke with the main pastor of my home church, Guilherme Arcega, and he encouraged me to apply and wait the answer of God. For my surprise, I got accepted. The money I needed to school, was exactly what I had save for all that months, and some months later, finishing the 10 months God said to me, I was boarding to Redding, California, United States of America.

You can cry with me now! He is the best love story writer, so beautiful. God, he is real. He is so real! He is a dreamer, He is a provider, He is a good good Father. He dreams with us, walk with us and fulfill everything he promise.

I can’t lie to you, I had many times of anxiety about everything you can imagine, money, be far from my family, church and friends. But, here I’m now, to tell you that he also invited me to the second year.

Now, I don’t have the 5 thousand dollars I need to school, but I know that He is the one who find ways to keep his promises.

I encourage you to dream, to be with him, to plan with him, without any fear of frustration, without any anxiety of when or how, because He is the best partner you can have to your life journey.

You can see his face, you can hear his voice and he made you worthy to this through his unconditional love!

With all my heart,

Amanda Stein!
