Meet Me in the Water going north!

We knew North Dakota was going to be a smaller number of folks but I had a feeling that it would not be small on impact. We had about as many volunteers as people so the folks didn't have a chance to not be touched if they showed up today.

A man and wife were first in line. They used to live in this small town years ago but after years of infertility that ultimately culminated in a still born birth they left the area and moved to Minnesota. A few months ago, they had been watching the YouTube clips of the revivals and decided, no matter where the next one was, they were coming. What do you know, the Lord had them journey back to the very town they thought defeated them, to bring healing and restoration ❤️😭

During one of the prayer times the Lord highlighted two ladies that I could tell were called to walk together. They were sitting together and as I reached out and grabbed their hands at the same time they both fell into such a travail that they couldn't help but start shouting as the Lord was birthing something special.

Well, you can't be in that power very long until you are saturated in it. As I stood up from kneeling, there was another lady who was walking up and I wasn't even able to start praying before she was overwhelmed by the spirit of the Lord and God took care of the rest💥

Later I found the travailing ladies 🤣 and found out the mother in law of one of them is a good friend of some folks who took me in when traveling 25 years ago! God is the best connector!

There were two different single dudes that I got to lead to the water to get baptized. The one came back later telling us how different he felt after getting out.❤️

An older lady who had spent her life bringing healing to those who had been hurt by others came to the water dry and empty, but she left full of the lightning of the Lord ready to go again! ⚡

It was a good day with many little blessings, friends getting baptized, and good news! One more full day till heading back to the family ❤️🩷🩷🩷💙.

Day 2

We finished out the weekend with over 600 folks baptized. It doesn't get old seeing people's lives changed and redeemed.

Today felt like I got ministered to more than I was able to pour out to others. There were so many encouraging things that happened.

One amazing one was this family I met that came down from Canada. I approached them and could tell instantly they were dear brothers and sisters.

They started asking about the ministry and I said the thing I'm most excited about right now is that I feel the Lord is leading to go to other nations. They quickly asked "where specifically?". I said I really believe South Africa is #1 on the list,(I've actually had it posted here on the site for the past few months) and that I know I'm going either with Kayla's team or some other way in the next year.

The man locked eyes with me "I am from South Africa" He said calmly, but with authority. He reached out His hand and started praying and prophesying over me and the trip I will be going on. It has been a minute since I've felt such a powerful prayer spoken over me. Wow! Get ready! ❤️‍🔥🇿🇦

We got to see many return from yesterday and some seeds that were planted the day before starting to take root. I can't help but think there were a lot of ministries that will look back on this weekend and remember it as a launching point. One man named Anthony stands out as someone to pray for. He was radically rescued by the Lord some time ago from the very depths of hell and has been starting to bring the gospel to other addicts and homeless. He was there all weekend just soaking it all in like a sponge. You could see his light burning brighter and brighter as the weekend progressed.

Heading back to Indy now to hop a plane for Southern California for some family, baptisms, then Jesus Gathering! Can't wait!👀💥
