Singing and pastor praying for each beloved coming to the altar.

Maak jou hart reg met God                      make your heart right with God
Lewe Jesus is die middelaar                   Jesus is the mediator
Hy sal jou red, as jy ma net gekom       He will save you, if you only come
Maak jou hart reg met God                    make your heart right with God

Pastor praying for all
We must not stop praying for each other, we must never stop praying for families. Be there, pray for each other. We have faith for families. We pray that God will save souls. That he will bring children to Him, that they can say, God loves me, God is here for me.
We give God the praises, the glory and the honor.
We pray the God redeem the children, that He will save their heart, that God save souls. The children must know that Jesus is there.
We must reach a point where we have faith that God will save your child, and that your child trust in God. And that is what we should teach our children, to trust the Lord.

Pastor concluded by saying that she cannot add or remove anything on what God had Himself said today. Who are we to say or add something !!!
Hallelujah, we thank the Lord, nothing is impossible in His name. He is great.

Next week Sunday is baptism service for everybody…
It is a command from the Lord, and we must just obey.
The thema for the baptism service is “The Apostle’s time has come”.
Even for those that were already baptised, they must be baptised again… Everybody to wear white.
We God the Praise and Glory
Glory to God

May the God bless you.
Blessings in Afrikaans stopped by the Lord to allow for testimonies.

One beloved stand up and say: “I greet everybody in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus, this morning I have not come the same, and what happen, when the beloved spoke in tongues, I cannot say it was fire but something came through me and gave me like electrical shocks, it picked me in my throat and I was gone in few minutes. I felt so light, that I could go through the roof, I woke up, and the knot was still in my throat, and so the one next to me, and I was for a second time out. When I finally woke up and came right, something happened that I cannot explain. And when we sang make your heart right with God, the knot left and I felt numb, it feels like something opened in me, and I feel light. And I would like to say for Apostle: Thank you very much.

Blessing were spoken and service came to a close.

Atlantis Heart Ministries – 4 July 2023

The worshipping started before the service with a small group, and when the congregation entered church, they came into that “fire from Heaven”.

Oh Lord!, our God!
How excellent is your name
In all the earth,
How excellent is your name.

Enjoy the silence, quietness of the Lord.
I was on my knees in front of my chair.

Pastor spoke in tongues, then said “prepared yourself for that !”
Pastor is saying: How excellent is the name of the Lord, the name above all other names. The name of Jesus.
Pastor spoke in tongues. This is a powerful name, the name of Jesus.
Pastor sing again: Oh lord, our God, how excellent is your name….

Pastor said: there is something here for you, but you must be opened to receive it and continued singing. “HE COVERS YOU, HE COVERS YOU” …. and continued singing.

At that time I felt something heavy but soft on my head and my shoulders. I could not lift up my head, nor could I pick up my body. I did not see anything, just that weight on my body. I was experiencing the covering of the Lord.

When we all get to Heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout the victory.

1 Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He'll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to Heaven, we will see Jesus, that is a day to look after.

Pastor said that we experienced the covering of God. there was a thick but soft cover, a layer of 50cm over us all.

We have worship the Lord with the chorus (How excellent is your name) for merely 2 hours.

Thank you Lord for your presence during our services.
We are blessed to have you in our midst.
Thank you Lord for your covering.
Who are we, mere individuals, that you love us so much.
Thank you Lord for my life, for your guidance.
In Jesus’ name
Amen

Atlantis Heart Ministries service – 2nd July 2023

The service started with some praise and worship:

Verlossing het gekom op Golgotha - Redemption came at Calvary
Verlossing het gekom op Golgotha
Verlossing het gekom op Golgotha
op Golgotha, op Golgotha

and continued with more worship:

Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine!
Flooding my soul with glory divine!
Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine!
Hallelujah, Jesus is mine!

Heavenly sunshine, flooding my soul with glory divine. The sunshine from Heaven, the light from Heaven which keeps you warm, keep your soul warm. It feels you with glory divine, meaning there is joy, there is peace, which surpasses all understanding. The Lord wants for the congregation to experience His heavenly sunshine, His light. If you look at that sunlight you will look at peace, you will look at joy. The light shining from the sun makes you warm on the outside of your body, but the heavenly sunshine flood the soul, it goes deeper, inside your body, inside your soul.

OPEN YOUR EYES and STAY FOCUSSED.

You must be open to experience what God wants for you today. As it is only for today, tomorrow He will show you something else. You must be able to surrender to the Lord to experience His greatness. You must bring your fire from home when coming to a church service. Your heart must be open to experience, your thoughts must be focused on the Lord.

To be able to see what the Lord want to show you, you must follow the simple instructions He gave you, which were open your eyes and stay focused.

Pastor is standing in the sun of the Lord, wearing the helmet of salvation. A bright yellow, golden light is shining through pastor.

He's a wonderful saviour to me, Halleluja
He's a wonderful saviour to me
And since that glad day, I'll keep singing
He's a wonderful saviour to me
To me, to me, He's a wonderful saviour to me
And since that glad day, I'll keep singing

Communion:

Luke 22 : 19-20

19. And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20. Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
Maar die skare skreeu eendragtig kruisig kruisig Hom
But the crowd shouts in unison crucify Him crucify Him

Die man met die purperkleed x2
The Man with the Purple Robe

Thank you Lord for your presence.
Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Lord for paying the price for me on the cross.
Thank you Lord for thinking of me when you were hanging on the cross.
I love you Lord.
Amen.

Pentecost – last days: Alleluia

Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.

This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.

The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.

Last days – The power of Alleluia

The last days of the 2023 Atlantis Ministries Pentecost festival were absolutely blessed. As a ministry we are favored and blessed to be able to enjoy the presence of the Lord during our services. And the Pentecost season definitely marks a heavy presence of the Lord, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost power filled our hearts.

For the last days of this year Pentecost festival, The Lord taught us the power of Alleluia. The message from the Lord, through our pastor was that Alleluia is the most high praise. It is widely used in the bible from the Psalms of king David up to the book of revelations.

Sunday the 28th of May 2023: The Pentecost Sunday mark the close of the Atlantis Ministries 10 days Pentecost festival. And it was the cherry on the cake, the apotheosis, the quintessence of 10 days spent in the Lord, with the Lord, for the Lord. We worshipped only with Alleluia. For 2 hours, which felt like 5 minutes we all worshipped the Lord our God, our wonderful savior, the rock of our salvation with Alleluia. What an amazing feeling, we even composed choruses with Alleluia.

I was blessed with visions during the praise and worship. When we started, I saw a small opening, a window of Heaven above pastor. When we really started to give it our all, when we really started worshipping God for who He is with our Alleluias, then Heaven opened above us all. There was no more ceiling in the church, it was like an open sunroof, it was open to Heaven. And the angels in Heaven were singing Alleluia with us, they were rejoicing with us, they were dancing with us. What a feeling to think that our Alleluia were appreciated in Heaven.

Thank you Lord for your presence during these 10 days. Thank you Lord for the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Lord for a ministry and a pastor opened to the guidance of the Holy spirit, opened to your will.
Thank you Lord for your blessings, we experienced your joy, you gave us the ability to communicate in tongues, you explained to us your covering added to our pastor’s one, you explained to us the importance of surrender it all, you gave us your peace, you taught us to worship and use the highest praise: Alleluia. Finally we had the utmost priviledge to meet you, to see your eyes.

Thank you Lord

Amen

Pentecost – Day 8: Meeting with the Lord

Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.

This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.

The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.

DAY 8 – Meeting with the Lord

What a service that was, when we were privileged and favored to experience the goodness of God. I was one more time filled with the glory of the Lord during worship and found myself on the ground. I was back on my knees when pastor asked us the think of the goodness of God. At that point I visualised the earth and a big foot above it. The foot was the Lord’s one, and the earth look so small compared to the foot.

Then pastor asked to look at her, focusing on her face. Some of the brothers and sisters started to scream. For myself I could not move my eyes away, I could not close my eyes, I was somehow locked into pastor’s eyes. Pastor’s eyes got bigger and bigger, they were of dark colors. I still could not move my eyes away. My eyes started to give me a burning feeling, but it was not painful nor changing my view. Then my eyes started to get wet, not like crying but just watery. But I was still locked in that open eyes position, and unable to move away from pastor’s face. Pastor said that we saw the eyes, and some of my brothers and sisters saw the face of the Lord. These eyes were huge and dark, somehow very scary, very powerful and full of authority. It felt like these eyes can see through yourself, and would be able to see anything, big or very small. The Lord, our God is almighty, all powerful, omnipotent and omnipresent.

During that time, it started to rain, we could hear the rain on the church’s roof. Until the rain changed to something bigger, maybe hail, the noise coming from the roof was tremendous. It added to display the power of the most high God.

Pastor indicated that the Lord want to make us feel his power, and she started to move around the folks. My eyes were still locked on pastor’s face, and my head was automatically turning to follow the eyes. Then pastor came close to me and brushed my right hand, I immediately feel on the ground and was out for some time. It took a very long time for my arm to be back to normal. My right stayed numb, with a “pins and needles” feeling for a long time. The power of the Lord is so great, it is immediate, it is powerful.

To complete this wonderful session with the Lord, we started to praise and worship Him, for His Grace and His Mercy, for His presence within us, for His Goodness. And we started to sing:

How great is our God
How great is His name
Forever the same
He rolled back the waters
of the mighty red sea
And He said, He'll never leave you
won't you follow me

After such an experience, I can only say, thank you Lord that you found me worthy enough to show me your eyes, to feel your power. The authority that I could feel in eyes of my God reminded me that we must fear the Lord. He is our Father in Heaven, He is almighty, He is Holy and powerful. He is full of love for His children, but also as a Father He is also authoritarian to keep us in His will.

Thank you Lord for who you are, thank you for your love, thank you for your love and your work in my life. I love you Lord.

My God, I would appreciate if everybody in this world would be able to experience what we have been privileged and favored to experienced in our ministries. I strongly believe that if people can see your face, feel your power, experience your grace and mercy, experience your peace, then they will turn to you and we would have a better world. In Jesus’ name.

Thank you Lord
Amen

Pentecost – Day 7: Worship

Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.

This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.

The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.

DAY 7 – Worship

What a service this was, I was filled by the Lord many times in worship. Spent the evening between the floor, standing and on my knees. I was filled a first time while worshipping, my face and my hands felt very warm.

I was never accustomed to get filled by the Lord so easily and so many times. Before this year Pentecost service at our church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), I have asked the Lord to prepare me, as I wanted to experienced Him in His fulness. In the weeks coming to Pentecost, I receive many messages: bible scripture, church services… on the “Fight between flesh and spirit”.

Galatians 5:17

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Since then, I make sure to go on my knees before each and every services, to tell the Lord that I surrender myself: body, flesh, mind and spirit to Him. I have been more “physical” in my worship, moving, jumping, keeping arms in the air in surrender to the Lord. I am giving it all I have, because our Lord is good and He deserve the glory and the honor, He deserve the best from us. At some point the flesh, the body gets tired: shoulder pains while keeping arms in the air for long time, leg paining, throat getting soar, tired feeling… But I did not listen to the signs of my body, I ignored the pain and pushed on harder, it is at that point I get filled and my extremities filled numb (arms and legs) and I fall on the ground.

Our pastor stopped everything, and that said that as a collective we are not worshipping as we should, we are not putting our hearts to it, we are not giving it all. Pastor indicated that we are going to sing then worship again, hopefully with a better result. I was jumping of gladness, happiness in my worship, so excited to tell the Lord: He has been very good to me, to thank Him for my life. I obviously finished on the floor again. After some time, I regained my body, and stayed on my knees. Still filled by the Lord, I lifted my hands, and went into a more softer worship. I was still telling the Lord how great He is, how good He is to me… And I fell again on the floor.

I have learned one lesson from this worshipping experience: it does not matter what you say, how loud you say it, if you jump or you are still. You MUST JUST believe what you tell the Lord when you worship Him. Let the Holy spirit guide you in worship, believe in your heart what you telling the Lord, then He will definitely fill you.

One last time, pastor says we are going to feel the wind of God. I immediately could not stand on my legs and fell on the floor. While there I had that strange feeling to take deep breath, like if there was something attracting in the air.

In this service, I have spent more time lying on the floor than any other time. It was difficult for me to stand on my feet at the end of the service. What an amazing feeling.

Thank you Lord
Amen

Pentecost – DAY 6: Peace

Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.

This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.

The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.

DAY 6 – Peace

We started the service by a praise and worship session, and once more I was touched while worshipping. Amazing feeling, I love it. I was transported to my “Happy Place”, on top of my mountain, looking down on the valley.

Pastor started to sing, and the church community joined in singing:

Somebody is here and I know it is Jesus 
Somebody is here and I know it’s the Lord 
Somebody is here and I know it is Jesus 
Somebody is here and I know it’s the Lord 
He is mine, He is mine
I can feel Him in my heart, I can feel Him in 
my soul
He is mine, He is mine 
Jesus, my Lord is mine.

I could hear pastor telling the folks that they had to put more heart, they had to believe that the Lord was here. But they just sang louder, with no conviction…

So I was sitting on my rock, on top of the mountain in my “Happy Place”. When a voice came to me… “Does it sounds like I am with them ?” I startled and froze. My answer to the question was NO but I could not answer. The voice asked again: “Do you think they really believe that I am there with them. They say I am theirs, do they believe it ?”. I still could not answer. The voice went quiet, I used that opportunity to look behind me. It was the first time, I actually looked around me in my “Happy Place”. When I am transported there, I am attracted and focused on the serenity of the valley. I never felt the need to look around. But it is beautiful on my mountain top: trees, bushes, lots of flower. Everything is so colorful, it is exquisite and serene. Unfortunately I could not see anybody, could not see who was talking to me.

I spent some time there, in my “Happy Place”, finally the folks sang with their hearts, it sounded so different and better. Then I heard the voice again, it said: “that sounds better !”. I did not heard that voice again that evening. I finally rejoined my body, and went on my knee.

God, through pastor, indicated that He wants to give us His peace. We were all touched by the Lord. And once again, I felt on the floor. I was experiencing an amazing feeling, it was like I was so light that I could fly. I feels like I was empty, nothing to pull you down, no worries, no thoughts of family, work, finances……

John 14:27

27. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Jesus, before leaving earth told the disciples, that He will leave the Holy Spirit and His peace behind. And tonight God made us experience, what does it feel to have peace in our hearts.

Thank you Lord for your teachings.
Thank you Lord for your presence and your touch.
Thank you Lord for loving me.
Thank you Lord for the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Lord for your peace.

In Jesus’ name
Amen

Pentecost – DAY 2: Speak in tongues

Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.

This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.

The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.

DAY 2 – Speak in tongues

Still filled with the previous day Holy ghost power, I was touched during the worshipping session, and felt to the floor. It was a different feelings than previous touch from the Lord, as I was not transported anywhere, I could hear what was happening in the church around me. I however could not open my eyes, and my body was numbed and I could not move. After a while, I could finally move and went on my knees.

Pastor indicated that we will feel the Lord and He wants to give us the gift of speaking in tongues. I was now standing with my arm lifted up, in a surrender position, as I surrendered myself to the Lord, so He could perform His work, His miracles on me.

We were worshipping, pastor repeated many times, do not focus on what is happening, do not try, let the Holy Spirit take control of your tongue. Finally, my voice changed and I was uttering sounds, speaking words I never heard before. And I could continue speaking that foreign language for a long time. In between I managed to worship God, to give Him the Honor and the glory for His majestic work in my life.

We must remember, that the first time people spoke in tongues was on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the apostles:

Acts 2:1-4

1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Speaking in tongues is a gift of Jesus through the Holy Spirit. It is one of the many gifts given to believers to aid in the building up of the body of Christ, which is the Church. Paul states:

1 Corinthians 14:4

“He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.”

Speaking in tongues can help you express what is in your spirit and which you cannot express with words.

We believe that speaking in tongues is a direct means of communication with the Lord, when other people and the devil do not know the content of what is said, it is a personnel prayer or worshipping language.

Since that day, I make use of this gift of speaking in tongues, when worshipping the Lord, during my prayers.

I thank you Lord for finding me trustworthy to give me a language that only Heaven and me understand.

To God all the glory and Honor.

Amen

Pentecost – Day 1: JOY

Every year, in my Church (Atlantis Heart Ministries), we celebrate the Pentecost with a 10 days festival. Which include an evening service everyday.

This year, the celebration started on the Pentecost Thursday, the 18 May 2023, with the culmination on Sunday 28 May 2023.

The Pentecost celebration is always filled with the presence of the Lord and many miracles take place. I would like to share my personnel feelings, testimonies and messages from this celebration.

DAY 1 – JOY

We started the service by singing:

♫ The joy of the Lord is my strength (x4)

Then pastor asked us to think of JOY. Hearing this word, I was immediately transported to my “Happy Place”.

From previous encounter with the Lord, He most of the time take me to a specific place, where I feel joy, happiness, peace, freedom. My happy place is on a mountain top, facing a colorful valley, with trees, plants, flowers. A river is going through the valley, there is a smaller hill on the other side.

While in my happy place, pastor touched my arm, the Holy ghost power took over and transported me to an other place. I found myself in a middle of a field, with high grass, where I was running. When advancing in this field, butterflies on may different colors, and birds, of many different species and colors were taking off in front before me. I felt full of joy and happiness and was smiling for no other specific reason.

Coming back to the service, I found myself smiling and laughing at anything that would be said. Later in the service, while on my knees, pastor says the Holy Ghost power will come once again. My arms felt numb, as the holy ghost power was entering my body through my arms, and I rolled down on my side on the floor. While on the floor, with my eyes closed, I saw a great light, it was very bright, it was actually flames dancing before my eyes. However, I never felt warm from these flames.

For the rest of the service I was just feeling dizzy, like drunk with the power of the Holy Spirit. I was full of joy, happiness and peace in my heart.

Before closing, we sang:

♫ It’s the Holy ghost power
that is keeping me alive
Keeping me alive, keeping me alive
It’s the Holy ghost power
that is keeping me alive
Jesus is keeping me alive

The Holy ghost power is living inside of me, inside of you, inside of all of us. The Holy ghost power is Jesus’s power, The one Jesus used to perform all the miracles when walking on earth. So this tremendous power, He left with us when He departed for Heaven on the Pentecost day.

Thank you Lord for this amazing experience, to get filled with the joy and Happiness of the Lord, to see the flames from Heaven.

To God all the glory, for great things He has done in my life.

Amen

Hello world!

After some indecisive times on how to share God’s work in my life with the rest of the world, I finally jumped in and there I am with a blog.

I am Pascal, I was born in France, and the Lord called me to Atlantis, near Cape Town, in the Western province of South Africa.

I was born in a Roman Catholic family, was baptised at 8 months old, followed the catechesis as a children, but it stopped there. I am now a member of the Atlantis Heart Ministries, a Pentecostal church, centered on Jesus, and where the Holy Spirit is the program director of our services and meetings.

In this blog I will share God’s teachings, as I received them from church, I will share my testimonies of the goodness of God in my life. The aim of the blog is to inspire anyone to live a better life, to stay focused on the Lord and keep up the faith to be able to walk with Jesus on this earth. I do not pretend I know it all, and I will continue to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide me on what, when and how to share His word. When Moses told God that he did not know what to tell the Israelites to lead them out of slavery, God responded the following:

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

Exodus 4 : 12 (KJV)

May the Lord bless you and keep you, May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Amen
