Pentecost – Day 3: Covering

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 3 – God’s cover

Once again I was touched by God and filled by the Holy Ghost power during worship. While I was out, I experienced something amazing. I was lying on the ground on my back, with my eyes closed. And all of a sudden I can see what is happening around me, I can see my brothers and sisters around me, the church building, the chairs… But my eyes were closed. What a strange and amazing feeling that was.

During the service, pastor conveyed the message on the Lord, when he was explained how the protection or covering works.

PSALM 91

I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

The Lord made it clear to us, that His cover/protection is for everybody. If you belive or not, you are under God’s covering. Obviously, your own decision will possibly leads to pains and trouble.

But he added, that because we belong to the “Atlantis Heart Ministries”, we are under the covering of Pastor Denise. This is another layer of covering. This covering applies only to those belonging to the ministry, if you decide to leave the ministry, you are moving out of this special covering. You pastor is your GO-TO person, for anything that you feel you need assistance, your pastor, through the Lord’s guidance will talk you through the process, pray for you.

To God all the glory and Honor.

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

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
