Pentecost – Day 4: God’s re-centering

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 4 – God’s re-centering

During the praise and worship session, it was different, it felt heavy burdened… The Lord, our God, via Pastor stopped it.

As a church we receive what I would call a slap, a beating from God. God’s words were very harsh, and I must say difficult to swallow. God indicated that He was unhappy with our behavior at this service. He indicated that it seems we have “already” lost everything we received from Him since day 1 of this Pentecost festival. He detailed it and said that we have lost the joy, he gave us on day 1. Then we have lost the speaking in tongues to worship Him, He gave us a special language for this purpose and we don’t use it.

Even though it is difficult to hear, I am glad that God, our Father in Heaven loves us so much that he will redirect us as His children when we moving in the wrong direction.

Thank you Heavenly Father for loving me, and caring for me.

God is good.
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
