What to Do With a Holy Spirit Faith Bomb

Have you ever experienced the other-worldly feeling of SEEING something in the Spirit realm, all of a sudden, and KNOWING that the thing you saw is DONE? Maybe you’ve never even seen this thing happen in the natural–but suddenly, as soon as you see it, you know it’s done?

I have … four times. All this year. Before this year, I had never had this happen. It’s so new to me that I’m still marveling at it, in awe of God, and figuring out what to do with this experience. But I want to share with you today at least what I’ve learned so far. 🙂

I call this experience a “faith bomb”–a Holy Spirit faith bomb.

The comparison to a bomb explosion is the only thing I can think of that comes close to describing this supernatural occurrence.

The first time this happened to me, I had just heard from a local youth pastor.

This youth pastor was planning ahead to take a group of 40 middle-school and high-school kids to evangelistic youth camp this summer. The problem was, their youth group had 15 kids who couldn’t afford to go. They also had no way to get these 40 kids or their chaperones to the camp, which was several hours away.

So, this pastor had an immediate need. She needed sponsorships for 15 kids to get them to camp; PLUS, they needed a charter bus to transport all 40 kids AND their chaperones there and back. She had priced it out, and the cost for the scholarships plus the charter bus, driver, fuel, etc was going to total $4,675.00.

When I heard about this need, I was instantly moved. But then, something happened.

At first, I was just thinking that our ministry could sponsor one or two kids. That was really all I felt compelled about at first. But suddenly, as I looked at that $4,675 need–enough to pay for 15 kids’ scholarships plus a bus–I SAW something.

In my spirit, I saw the whole thing paid for. 

And it was tangible. 

For a brief moment–a flash, like a moment’s explosion–I saw that $4,675 so clearly that it was like that charter bus had pulled up in my driveway and was waiting outside. I could see it. I could touch it. I could see those kids loading their stuff. It was tangible; it was real … just as real as the chair I was sitting in. 

I’m not kidding you. I wish I had better words to describe what I saw. (Lord, help!)

All I can say is that it felt like a bomb went off in my spirit. One moment, no bomb. Next moment, total explosion. Instantaneously. Lightning fast: one flash of vision from the Lord.

And in that one flash, everything in my perception changed.

It was a Holy Spirit faith bomb–the first faith bomb I ever had.

The same way a literal bomb explosion changes everything in the landscape, that faith bomb went off in my spirit and changed everything in my spiritual landscape:

• It changed my idea of what was possible financially. Without ever intending to, I went from thinking our ministry could sponsor a kid or two ($185 apiece) to believing we could raise the whole thing.
• It changed my idea of what was possible regarding our ministry’s level of impact. Before the faith bomb, I would have been happy to sponsor a kid and then say, “I’ll pray for you!” Truly, that would have thrilled me to even help that much. But suddenly, when this flash of light from the Holy Spirit went off in my spirit, I suddenly felt like it would be EASY to just raise the whole amount and take care of the need, {snap fingers} JUST. LIKE. THAT.
• It totally changed the level of what I expected to receive from God. Not only did I suddenly see that the Lord could use us to raise the funds, but at the same time I saw that He would do it THAT WEEKEND. 

That faith bomb happened on a Friday evening. I suddenly saw that the Lord would raise the money through us, and that He would and could do it THAT WEEKEND so I could take that pastor the money that Sunday.

So I emailed you, our community of Presence seekers, and invited you to give. 

People generously responded, and by Sunday morning, over $3,000 of the $4,675 that they needed had come in. I knew we had the whole thing in the Spirit realm, though, so I went ahead and took that pastor a check from our ministry for the whole thing (taking the rest out of our general budget). It was all $4,675 that they needed to pay for 15 kids’ scholarships plus a charter bus to transport 40+ people to youth camp.

That pastor cried. I was in awe of the Lord. He did that miracle, and He used you to do it.

Amazing things happened for that youth group at camp. Check out this harvest:

While they were at camp, their group from this one church had:

• 1 first-time salvation;
• 13 people rededicate their life to the Lord;
• 5 first-time Holy Spirit baptisms;
• 7 healings;
• 6 people called into various occupations;
• 9 people refilled with the Spirit; and
• 9 people who expressed that Holy Spirit had called them into ministry.

Crazy, huh? I know it all started with that church’s leadership deciding to believe God and get those kids to camp; but from our end, our part in this community started with one Holy Spirit faith bomb. That was the first time I have had a faith bomb like that happen to me.

I thought that faith bomb was a one-and-done thing. But wait … no.

About three or four weeks later, I had a supernatural faith bomb happen to me again.

Again, it was totally out of nowhere. I was sitting on the floor of my baby’s nursery, reading my Bible early in the morning. When suddenly, the Lord put it on my heart to pray for a student pastor who needed a car. Hers had died beyond repair, and she needed a car so she could minister to the kids in her church. But, she didn’t have the money to buy one. 

I prayed in the Spirit for her and her car situation for a few minutes. But then, SUDDENLY again …

I SAW her car in the Spirit.

I really mean that. I’m not exaggerating. I SAW IT. That car was so tangible to me that, suddenly, all of my senses felt like I was actually touching it. Literally, I could feel the fiberglass panels under my hands. I could see that car coming to her …

… and I SAW, all in that one big faith bomb, the Lord using US in this community to pay for it.

This faith bomb was such a strange experience for me.

It was only the second faith bomb I have ever had, and this second one was as unexpected as the first one! And it was weird because I had zero thought before of raising the money for that car.

I had mentioned the pastor’s need the day before, on a Facebook Live video I did, but only because I thought someone may have a spare car sitting around they didn’t want or need. You never know, right? But I had zero intention of getting involved beyond praying for this lady and mentioning her need that one time. 

However, when that faith bomb happened early that morning while I was sitting on my floor, I suddenly saw BOTH:

• the car, so tangibly that my fingertips could feel it and my eyes could see it; it had gravity and weight in my vision. AND
• the money to pay for the car. I SAW the money to pay for the car coming in; I just suddenly knew that the Lord had anointed OUR community to provide that pastor with a car.

The faith bomb freaked me out, but I felt a holy thrill too.

It felt like joy, exultation, shock, awe, and excitement all at the same time. There was zero questioning or doubting. A bomb of faith had dropped from the Holy Spirit, and BOOM! That car was manifested in my spiritual vision. 

The experience was as real as anything physical I had ever seen. So immediately, I grabbed my computer and emailed you all. I invited anyone to give to the Lord for this project if their heart moved them and their spirit stirred them to do so. 

And you know what? Within just a few days, we had the money for the car.

A few weeks after that, the Lord took that youth pastor and I to a 2009 Toyota RAV4 in perfect condition, low miles, clean everything, with all the options she wanted. It passed inspection; we got a fabulous deal; and she drove away with a PAID-FOR, CASH CAR that will last her for many years.

No debt. No struggle. Just supernatural provision.

On her end, it started with her praying and sowing seeds of obedience to the Lord. Those things happened before the Lord ever spoke to us about that lady’s need. But on our end, it all started with prayers–which resulted in a FAITH BOMB.

And the faith bomb is what moved me forward to even contact you.

Well, just last week, I had another faith bomb–and the Lord worked ANOTHER miracle.

My church needed video cameras and equipment to broadcast their services online. The Lord has been releasing a major move there, and they really wanted equipment that would help them broadcast those services around the world.

Well, their sound man had found the equipment they needed for $10,000. It was $50,000 worth of equipment, but there is a Church of God denominational office across the street (not affiliated with the church I attend) that was selling their equipment so they could upgrade. So the price of the equipment that my church needed was a STEAL.

I talked with my pastor about it, thinking to sow a personal seed into that equipment (which I did do). But while talking with him about it, suddenly … 

… you got it …

Another faith bomb happened. 

And I was just as freaked out by this faith bomb as I had been by the prior two. 🙂

I suddenly saw that equipment being paid for. I saw us getting involved personally (my husband and I), and I saw me inviting anyone in this community to sow who wished to do so. And I SAW all of that equipment in the Spirit–manifest and paid for.

Again, it was just as real to my senses as if the cameras had been sitting on the floor in front of me.

My fingers could feel them. I could see them with my eyes in the Spirit realm. And I could feel the money coming in to pay for them.

I put up one Facebook post on our Presence Seekers Soaring Facebook mentoring group. My husband and I decided to sow $1,000 from this ministry toward that equipment. I sent you all an email as well; and you began to give. And within a few hours, we had over $10,500. 

The Lord met that need for the church’s cameras, and He did it in a supernatural way.

And again, our involvement started with a FAITH BOMB: a momentary explosion of faith inside me (and, I believe, inside you all too) that was ACTUALLY TANGIBLE.

These four experiences have given me a whole new perspective on Hebrews 11:1-3, which says:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible” (Hebrews 11:1-3).

“Now faith.”

You hear that preached a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever understood it before like I am SEEING it happen in the last few months. In each of the stories mentioned above, I experienced a sudden flash of faith, guidance, and direction from the Lord–a flash in a space where no inkling of these ideas had been there before.

Each of these faith bombs was “now faith.”

It was faith that, looking back, I could see NOW. And it was so tangible that I knew the manifested miracle already was done:

• In faith bomb #1, I knew we had the $4,675 to send those kids to camp. (Even though we did NOT have the $4,675 in the bank at the time AT ALL.)
• In faith bomb #2, I suddenly KNEW that pastor’s car was DONE and that we were supposed to buy it. I knew it was already done.
• In faith bomb #3, it was slightly different. I knew this ministry was supposed to sow; I knew my husband and I were supposed to sow personally; and I knew it was already done for the Lord to send the whole $10,000 that was needed. I also knew I needed to invite you to sow, but I didn’t know if the full miracle was coming from our community or from somewhere else.

But in all three faith bombs, the Lord did provide. He provided miraculously and nearly instantaneously.

And in all three faith bombs, He used YOU and me in this community to do it. 

If you look at these three stories, you can see more easily what the Lord means about faith being “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” In all three stories, watch the progression:

• The Lord sent a faith bomb into my spirit;
• I suddenly knew (by the Holy Spirit) that the thing was done, and that He was using US to manifest the miracle through; 
• So I followed through by inviting you to sow into an ALREADY FINISHED MIRACLE …
• And you did.

And in every case, the miracle was manifested on the earth. That quickly.

Because FAITH is the actual, tangible substance of things hoped for. And when you’ve got faith, that’s the physical evidence that you HAVE, in the Spirit realm, whatever you’re believing for. But furthermore, it’s the tangible evidence that you are about to SEE, in the natural realm, the thing you believe for … manifested.

Does that make sense?

Words are so inadequate to describe these faith bombs.

If you’ve ever experienced one of these faith bombs, you’ll know what I mean. And if you haven’t had one of these flashes go off in your spirit yet, I believe God is about to give you one.

So what do you do with a Holy Spirit faith bomb when you get one?

Three things:

1. First, act immediately.

Do not hesitate. These faith bombs are tied to a TIME, a miracle moment. If you delay, I have felt very strongly that you can miss your miracle.

2. Second, act fearlessly.

There is no reason to fear because the thing is already done. The fact that you can see it by faith in the Spirit realm is only possible because God has already finished the thing, and He’s showing it to you. Your action is the “midwife” He will use to deliver the miracle to you in the natural realm.

3. Third, follow up and follow through until you see the miracle completed.

The faith bomb has been given to you for a reason … but the miracle may not finish without effort. Stick with your faith and follow it through until it manifests in totality; in its completion.

I believe that Holy Spirit is going to be delivering more and more of His faith bombs to His people.

He is going to be giving His faith bombs to:

• people who expect miracles;
• people who are willing to go forth boldly; and 
• people who carry His heart on the earth, even if they totally don’t expect to have anything to do with a particular situation.

Be on the lookout for faith bombs in your life!

When they come, notice them. Believe them. Act on them. Always submit to the Word, to accountability, and to wise counsel–of course. Don’t do anything unwise. But DO remember that “wise” and “normal” are not necessarily the same thing. 🙂

Have you ever experienced a faith bomb from the Lord?

If so, I would love to hear about it in the comments! If not, ask the Lord for one and get ready. But no matter what, recognize that the Lion of Judah is on the loose and He’s visiting you with unpredictable, but awesome, works of faith. Let Him manifest His mighty works through you!

Is the Lord speaking to you about something with a faith bomb right now? If so, leave a comment below and tell me more about your faith bomb! I’d love to hear how He is moving in your life!
