Yesterday afternoon was spent at the beach. Several from church hung out and chilled at this tiny beach in Gibraltar called “Little Bay”. Well, after most of the beach goers had gone home the group from church got talking and this sister shared how she had not been baptised in the Holy Spirit and did not speak in tongues. Right there on the beach a brother laid hands on her and immediately she was baptised, speaking with other tongues! A Baptism in the Spirit at the beach! Yea!
We have this sister at church that has believed for an estranged granddaughter for several years now. A prodigal. A girl who was actually raised by this sister who loves her like a daughter. For several years, a failed marriage, deception, hurts and wounds all conspired to embitter this girls heart towards her grandmother to the extent that she used to walk past her and ignore her, turn right round when she saw her or simply corss to the other side of the street to avoid making contact with this grandmother who yearned for relationship.
For years this veteran of the faith simply believed. She took God at His word and refused to acknowledge what she saw with her eyes – in the eyes of her heart, her granddaughter was coming back one day.
On Saturday morning this lady was shopping at the market when her granddaughter actually came up to her and fell on her neck crying – through sobs and cries she said that she could not stand being away from her anymore and that she wanted back! C’mon! She then said that she was attending this church in the neighboring town of La Linea in Spain but wanted to visit our fellowship.
She visited on Sunday together with her boyfriend (also unsaved but hungry) and her mother who had also been estranged from the family. They were really impacted during the meeting, and during the evening went to an outreach at this other church and this girl and her boyfriend both got saved! Jesus! The joy on this grandmother’s face is awesome to behold.
I now live for this. All of the prodigals – come back home!
Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’ Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth— Isaiah 43:5-6
The Lord is calling you. We got a word from the Lord last night. It goes like this:
I will do this again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.-Romans 4:13
You shall inherit all things my dear one. For My word is true, and it will accomplish the purpose for which I sent it. Ask of Me and I will give you nations as an inheritance and the ends of the Earth as your posession. Only believe, My son. That is the challenge before you today. I have set you up for an adventure the likes of which your mind cannot even comprehend. Only believe, My son – and according to your faith will it be done to you.
My son, I will never leave you nor forsake you. Did I not say that I would be with you forevermore? My Spirit shall indeed be your Counsellor, and in My arms you shall find true rest. I have chosen you to be a beacon of light before the nations – an example of holiness before great and small.
Within your spirit lies the answers to many issues of life and problems of society. Learn to dig within and watch Me bring forth a wisdom that no one will be able to resist. Rest confident in Me and press-in for more of Me – will I not give you the Holy Spirit if you ask?
But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ – Acts 26:16-18
You have been commissioned by Me to be an agent of renewal and deliverance for multitudes. With fresh revelation you will turn people to Me to witness My power to transform completely. This is the portion of your inheritance forever.

Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your sustenance.” So the Levite went in. – Judges 17:10
My son, so many of my sons are serving for hire. They focus on the security of finding a place that will meet their needs – yet they do not come to ME that they may be filled from the Treasury of MY goodness!
Are you out for hire as well my dear one? Search your heart, for only the pure serve ME out of love and devotion. He who serves ME without regard for material security is indeed fit to stand in MY courts, ministering unto ME, and partaking of the Royal provision assigned to Kings. Peace is found in that place.

And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God. – Acts 19:8
My well beloved, there is a provision in Me for a power word of reasoning and persuasion. I give you a word and wisdom that no one will be able to counter you. Just trust and rest, and leave the rest to Me. Whatever you need, have I not already provided it? There is a powerful provision of life in Me that will see these wonderful works again being manifest for My glory. Even powerful baptisms in my Spirit await those who will yield to Me without preconditions.

You’ve placed yourself by various acts of obedience into a place where the Lord can now show you the riches of Christ. And He may now unfold unto you and take you into the treasure itself and show you all that is there.”

My Son, you are more powerful than you think. When I deposited My Holy Spirit within your heart I made you carry My Solution to the world’s problems within you. My Body on earth is my agency through which all things are to be redeemed and the whole earth be filled with my Glory as the waters cover the sea. Do not focus on the enemy’sintimidation . As a bully He is really more afraid of you and what you carry – simply submit to me in childlike faith and trust, resist him and he will FLEE from you!
Creation is groaning to witness the glory of the Almighty in a redeemed people. Will you partner with me in this? I am seeking a man that will say “yes”.

Also today the LORD has proclaimed you to be His special people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His commandments, and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, just as He has spoken.” Deuteronomy 26:18-19
I have given you an exalted place, my dear one, I have set you high upon a Rock – it is in my Son Jesus Christ. Just look onto Jesus, and see the shadows of this world flee before His marvelous light! Rest in My Son, and trust in His Righteousness. Do not justify yourself before men, for you are already justified before ME!
