Hello friends in Christ, I pray you are filled to the fullest in the love of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We started the day at New Brighten. There was a market on and we were hoping to set up the barbecue near there. But the weather was cloudy, cold and a strong wind blowing. I overheard one of the store owners saying many of the usual store operators did not turn up.
I approached the market manager about setting up our free barbecue in the market, but the answer was no, due to unfair competition to other food retailers there.
We decided to set up outside the market, not far away. But they still opposed us being there, saying we were being unfair, setting up a free barbecue so close to the market. So we packed up our gear, dusted off our feet and set off for Colombo street, where the wind was light and sun was out, Hallelujah! Praise God.
We arrived at 10:30am and finished up at 5:30pm. Seven Spirit filled hours, witnessing so many people surrender their lives to Jesus.
There were quite a few healings and deliverances through-out the day, as people reached out to Jesus for help.
Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.
The Lord led me to a lovely young lady who did not hesitate to receive prayer.
As I prayed deliverance and prophesied over her life, I sensed Jesus at work in her. Strongholds were released off her, as she shed a tear and lit up with the joy of the Lord.
John 15:10-11 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
Philippians 4:4-5 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
Our dear Sister in Christ came up to the table requesting prayer for a sore knee and and deafness in her ears.
We prayed healing for her in Jesus name. Afterward, she said she could feel something happening with her ears. A popping sound in one ear. She said her hearing had improved, thank You Jesus.
1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
As per every Saturday, a Palestinian protest march came up the street, right past us, at about 1.00pm.
We all held our Jesus flags up high for them all to see, while brother Logen preached to them with the speaker cranked right up.
He spoke truth from the bible, Jesus is God, also if you curse Israel, you will be cursed and if you bless Israel you will be blessed.
Numbers 24:8-9 . “God brings him out of Egypt;
He has strength like a wild ox;
He shall consume the nations, his enemies;
He shall break their bones
And pierce them with his arrows.
He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?’
“Blessed is he who blesses you,
And cursed is he who curses you.”
After they passed, a couple of the Palestinian supporters came to question us about what Logen had preached.
One was a professing Christian wearing a cross. He stayed for quite sometime trying to twist scripture to align with their cause. We showed them love and stood on the word of God.
1 John 4:4-6 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
1 Timothy 4:1-2 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,
Well we discerned spiritual warfare at play and then another professing Christian turned up, and suddenly violently attacked the Palestinian supporters.
We went into spiritual warfare mode, addressing the demonic spirits manifesting. I pulled out my phone to record what was going on, then I was attacked, being pushed around.
In a loud voice, I commanded all demonic spirits to leave in Jesus name, and they did, finally, thank You Jesus. We dusted ourselves off and continued on like nothing happened.
We all sensed God’s presence so powerfully, the whole day, in the area where we were.
Psalm 91:13-16 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.
God is teaching us discernment of spirits, and not to engage them, as they are a major distraction to the Lord’s work on the streets. We simply discern, pray, put the situation in the Lord’s hands and move on quickly, even ignore, till they leave.
All the while I am praying for their, salvation, asking the Lord to help them. I also bless them in Jesus name, immediately, releasing any possible offence, before it can take root in me. ( The bait of satan )
Jesus is our Defender and Fortress, we stand on His word and nothing shall ever move us from His Rock. Amen.
1 Peter 2: 21-23 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:
“Who committed no sin,
Nor was deceit found in His mouth”;
who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously
Mathew 5:44-48 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others?
Do not even the tax collectors do so Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
I met brother Tony as he was passing by. I asked him if I could pray for him. He said yes, he needed prayer for healing.
He informed me he had just come from hospital after having major surgery. In the name of Jesus, I commanded healing through his body and stomach.
Tony was touched by God powerfuly as we stood together on His word. We prayed further prayers and fellowshipped for sometime before he went his way.
I thank You Jesus for this divine appointment and your miraculous healing through Tony’s body. Amen.
Mathew 21:21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
This man was hanging around, listening to brother Logen preaching, and watching curiously, whilst I was praying for someone.
He then approached me wanting prayer too. Like I said earlier, the presence of God was so strong, Holy Spirit was drawing people in from all directions.
He did not know much about what Jesus accomplished on the cross for us all, but God had already revealed himself to him in such a profound way.
He could not go any further until his connection with God was sealed by the Holy Spirit. I shared with him what Jesus did for him at the cross.
Now he was 1000% ready to accept Jesus into his heart, and receive his inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven. Eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Creator, our All in All. Thank You Jesus.
John 16:7-15 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
Thank You Jesus for such a wonderful day. Thank You for Your miracles, healings and deliverances. Thank You for all the 121 precious divine appointments, people who declared You to be their Lord and Saviour. You did it all, You are the only One deserving of praise. You are magnified and glorified in all we do, because You are our Master, working through all things. Amen
God bless you all to bring everlasting glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ.
