Hello Friends in Christ. We are excited to be in Picton today.
We herd Picton is very busy on Saturdays with families enjoying the lovely Domaine next to the waterfront. Also many cafes and restaurants nearby. Actually it was even busier than usual, as there was a marathon event on at the Domaine, where a finish line was set up.
There were many people there, but our faithful Father in Heaven still had a parking spot for us nearby, where we were to set up.
Praise His wonderful name, thank You Jesus.
The sun was out, but there was a fairly strong wind blowing through from the north west. I am so glad the Lord gave us a heavy duty gazebo. I also bought some guide ropes to tie it down, thank You Holy Spirit for Your divine Wisdom.
We quickly set up the gazebo and barbecue. Brothers Pio and Logen let everyone know, there would be a free sausage sizzle with prayer.
Well this turned out to be far too early, as about 15 people quickly lined up, when I had literally just put them on to cook. Logen prayed blessings and salvation prayer with them all while they waited for the sausages to cook.
A lovely Indian family who were having a picnic nearby came over for a sausage.
We did pray a blessing over them, English was not their first language. They were so taken by what The Lord was doing, that they wanted to return a blessing, so they brought cake and drinks over to us. They then wanted to take photos, to treasure this time together.
There is a universal language, it’s called LOVE, from GOD. AGAPE
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
Wow! How amazing you are Jesus, drawing people together from all around the world, through Your love at the Cross, by Your resurrection power, by Your Spirit. All the glory can only belong to Jesus, You are the only one worthy.
John 15: 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Blessed be His Holy name, God sent help, when a sister in Christ from C3 Church in Blenheim volunteered to help. She had come with Sister Burie, praise God.
Many people came to receive food and prayer. One divine appointment that stood out was a dear elderly lady, who declared she is from the Catholic denomination.
She shared with us that her beloved pet dog had recently passed away. She was still grieving for her loss and was upset God would let this happen.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
We encouraged her, that it was not God’s will to hurt her, but simply her pet’s time to go. We all have an expiry date, and eventually all will return to Him.
I asked Jesus to heal her heart, and prayed blessing over her. She then agreed to pray with me the salvation prayer. Well God had already touched her in the first prayer as her spirit started to lift.
After the salvation prayer she was really filled with joy, praise God, glory to Jesus. She left a changed woman, baptised in the Holy Spirit. Thank You Jesus.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
At around 3.00pm the crowds had left, so we decided to pack up. Jesus received 55 people into His arms today. People who accepted Him into their hearts, Hallelujah! Glory to Jesus.
God bless you all, from your brother in Christ, please comment by clicking on the post title.
