Whatever he stirred up in the Holy Spirit was so powerful that I actually shook and cried. Thats like nearly impossible for me since I am bapticostal as they come in my worship style. I have never started trembling while praying like that before in my life, it was a totally new experience for me to be overwhelmed by it (i've always been skeptical of it btw).
From what I percieved God seems to be behind him, and i'm not a easy mark or a pushover when it comes to speakers manipulating a crowd... but when its real, its real.
And he is the real deal.

Jonathan has always had GREAT and SIMPLE faith. That is why God uses him the way he does.
One time, when he was in Africa, he and a friend were walking down the road and spotted a poisonous snake. They had seen some awesome things happen in his father's ministry and believed they had all power with God.
They looked at the snake and said, "I command you to die, in Jesus name."
The snake dropped dead. Wherever they were at in their "training" for ministry ahead, God used that to teach them something. It wasn't something he would walk around doing all the time. Just a lesson God allowed to happen that day. I believed he said they were shocked that it actually died! lol
BTW, I should add that they were young boys - 16 or 18 and the conversation was centered on what power they really had with God. When they saw the poisonous snake they both said, "Let's put it to the test." lol Again, I remember him saying they were both shocked that it actually died. (lol)
