You Can't Make This Stuff Up! Comedy in Bakersfield!

Ok so we made it down to Bakersfield, still married and two kids in tow last Fri. We were doing a small donation only show. We pull up to the address only to realize it's an apartment building clubhouse. Ron just shakes his head and says" How do you get me into these things? " I said" Ron there may only be 4 people in there but we're gonna give them the best darn comedy show they've ever seen."We prayed, swallowed our pride and entered to see a group of friends and fans enjoying cake, snacks and hanging out in a room with couches and no stage.

The mic was set up in the middle of the couches like group therapy.As Ron took the" no stage" to start what was supposed to be a quick 45 min show. We ended doing about an hour and a half show and everyone was rolling laughing. I said at the end. I'll hang out because I feel like God's gonna do something tonight and we should pray.

I had met earlier a young girl who was in the armed services and she got diagnosed with MS and was discharged. She's in the pic below. Then they pointed me to their nephew who sat through my whole show arms crossed and no smile. They said" Can you pray for him? He wasn't supposed to be here but he drove in from out of town before he heads to re hab for drug de tox.

I was looking for Ron and he was wrangling the girls as it was 10:00pm. I walked over to this young man and said" Um..Hi do you want prayer? " He said "Yes" and we walked into the kitchen. I said so" How should we pray? " He said" I just want these demons off of me!" I was thinking" Ok dokie then....um...demons....be gone...and um..don't get on me!" Inside I was panicking outside I was strong and full of faith. I felt so unprepared but he was standing there willing and wanting to be set free. I asked him if he wanted to be free he gave me a big yes and bowed his head. I began to pray for him. He prayed as I led him..others joined, somewhere in there God took over. I don't remember much after that. We felt God move. He was getting his freedom. He was committing his life to Christ fully and today was his victory day. He was praying , I was praying then everyone was thanking God out loud for the freedom and the glory.

When it was over he smiled for the first time and said" Well now I gotta get baptized!" Someone said, "Well there's a hot tub outside! Let's Go! Get your swimsuits! Come on Kerri!" So 5 mins later this young man, his pastor and a friend are all in the hot tub as we gathered around to watch this man get baptized and then on top of that we prayed for him to get filled with the Holy Spirit. It was amazing, hilarious, and ironic that God was working at an apartment clubhouse after a comedy show. God spoke to me that night as these lovely folks were praying for me and my needs and body saying "See Kerri...was this worth showing up for? Isn't this fun????" God is funny and fun. Where else can you get Comedy, Cake, Baptism in a hot tub and healing prayer for a girl diagnosed with MS in one night?

You guys are all on this journey with me..because of your prayers we are watching the miraculous. The next morning we found ourselves in an elegant country club with 250 ladies. As God moved at the end I randomly called out healing for Throat Cancer and there was a lady in the audience with throat cancer. Also a lady with a 40 year old daughter who was diagnosed" dying" in the hospital. I prayed with her ..her name was Sharon. I told her about you guys and how you pray with me for the miracles of healing and we believe her daughter will be healed.

God is healing! God is healing!

Love you all
Kerri
