Baptized in the Scottish seas!


June 18th 2017 

What a blessing it is to be visiting beautiful Scotland this week. Scotland may well be one of my most favourite places in the world apart from Israel. Plus we have had glorious sunny days. Nonetheless, we are in Scotland and even in summer, the waters are pretty chilly here!

We spent this week in Inverness, Scotland to visit some wonderful friends of ours. It was a week of vacation and rest for us. But there's never really a vacation from the Lord ! :)

In fact times of rest, very quickly strengthen us to serve Him once again. It's such a joy to spread the good news of the gospel and see others come to find freedom in his name.

We met Peter, who is seen standing in the middle of the picture here.

Peter received deliverance from us right on the open streets of Inverness. It was quite a sight! And the experience was life changing for him. He came out smiling and feeling set free!

During the deliverance, our friend Maria had a word of knowledge that Peter needed to be baptied once more. When she shared this with him, he readily agreed.

That very evening, we took Peter to the seaside and we baptized him in the waters. He was so touched that we were all ministering to him and it touched him deeply.

That evening, Peter told us that he had spoken to his brother who had a dream the night before that Peter was being baptized. This was before any of us had any idea we would even be ministering to Peter. We were amazed.

Glory to God in the highest! Elohim had planned it all along!

and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also

—not the removal of dirt from the body 

but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. 

It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

~ 1 Peter 3:21

The Ecstacy of Loving God

Journal entry - 25 May 2017 This morning in my 'Holy Hour' with the Lord ... I sat and waited upon him at 3 am , sang in tongues and soon found Him. :) But it was at around 4 or 5 am, that I noticed a special love began to wrap itself around me.... It was so beautiful .... that I am inspired to write about it in my journal entry this day.  I use the title 'The Ecstacy of Loving God' for this particular blog post as it is a commonly used term that describes the intimacy as well as the absolute pleasure and delight that is found in the Lord. The title is also that of a well known book that describes the mystical state of love that come in union with Christ. However, I use it not to refer to the book in particular but to share my personal thoughts on the sheer delight, yes the Ecstacy of Loving God! :) Lately, it feels as though I have plunged into colorful oceans. There is so much to see, appreciate and learn from. There are beautiful beings and sig

Write it Down, then Run with it!

Journal entry - 24 May 2014 Habakkuk 2:2 - Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.   Today I am reminded to write a clear vision of the goals and plans that I see coming to fruition this year & in the years following.  I have written them before, but I am feeling led to add more details and specificity. When the Lord gives us dreams, desires & hopes, He has planted the seed. But it is up to us to water, tend to them and see that these seeds flourish into a great & mighty tree.  Picture a tree that in it's strength lends great influence - It provides shade, food,nourishment, refreshment as well as beauty to those who come to it.  It's a fruitful tree :) Writing down goals/visions, thus making the end result clear in written or visual form creates a great sense of excitement and joy. This leads to high levels of motivation to RUN with what is written. It gets my adren
