Over powering message: Get ready to stand up!

Holy Spirit urges me
"Get ready to stand"
Today being "Whitsunday" one may be tempted to ask the question "Does the Spirit of Almighty God speak to us in 2019"?

We are talking of the Spirit of the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus referred to as our Advocate, our Comforter, our helper. John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

Charles Spurgeon once said, "Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without the wind, branches without sap, and like coals without fire, we are useless."

Adding to the series "Every day with Jesus" part 2, (prayerfully written in the public domain so as to awaken humanity to the Kingdom of the living God) here is but one of many incidences personally encountered, with my wife Celeste bearing witness on this occasion as it occurred.
Around 1990 we had been invited to Hillcrest Christian Fellowship by Judy Carney a nursing friend of Celeste's. Here is the short version of what transpired in 1994. We were sitting in our usual "anointed 🙂" left rear seating area, in the old mushroom farm building, listening to Peter Rasmussen preaching. While Peter is preaching l suddenly get heart palpitations and an overpowering message in my head.. not a voice, but a very very strong thought " GET READY TO STAND, PETER IS GOING TO CALL YOU" !! Peter will recall the kairos moment well l am sure. So now I am edgy so I whisper to my wife " l think Peter is going to make me stand" Pastor Peter Rassmussen continues with his message and the next minute just stops in his tracks and beams out loud over the PA system
"Gavin Stone where are you ?" He then said, " Stand up" I shot up, blushing pink like a Cherry blossom in full bloom.

To have experienced this blew my paradigm, it shattered me, it reinforced my solid belief in the fact that the God of the Bible, our closest friend, IS ALIVE AND REAL TODAY in our time. Peter then spoke words of encouragement over me regarding my teaching at George Campbell Technical High school in Durban. He encouraged me in front of around 500 people, to keep doing what I was doing, God is going to use it all for HIS GLORY. Peter then said l could sit down and he got back to his notes and continued his message. This was a most amazing Kairos moment for Celeste and I. When I look back at the approximate 7 years in the classroom, the fruit is very much evident. I had the sheer honor of sharing the classroom with future leaders, planet shakers, history makers, most of whom are my friends/extended family to this very day.

So my challenge to Lukewarm believers and unbelievers alike, God is real, SEEK HIM, Run to him, not from him. Read John 3:16... For God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY son, that whosoever believeth shall not perish, but will have everlasting life.. Enjoy today, 9 June 2019, DAY OF PENTECOST, ( Whitday) stay tuned... There is LOADS OF EVIDENCE to follow in the series "Every day with Jesus"

PANIC BUTTON PRESSED

 This happened to me on Sunday morning the 17 October 2021 at around 2am On Saturday the 16th October 2021, I awoke feeling not too great. Beautiful friends invited me to breakfast in Hillcrest and I literally ate as little as possible. Something was lurking around, I felt dreadful. Come lunchtime and another most incredible friend invites me to lunch  2am Sunday morning I am on my white throne and find myself actually passing out I had eaten something on Friday night which had progressively slowly taken me out I called for help from close neighbors to no avail  I was literally on my own, on my BIG WHITE TELEPHONE and passing out when suddenly the alarm panic button got pressed Nobody knows who pressed it, but it was at exactly the lifesaving crucial time I needed urgent help to drop my body temperature. Water-soaked towels were placed on my back and around my head.  How incredible is that!!   THE CHANCES OF THAT BUTTON BEING PRESSED AT THE EXACT TIME IS BE...

MURDERER ARRESTED "Turn Left"

This is what happened: I was on my way to work and as I got to the stop street at the bottom of our road I got this overpowering thought pattern "Turn Left" . I am gobsmacked ! It is the same overpowering thought pattern that I have experienced a few times before. I knew it was the Spirit of God, just not  this powerful. Stubbornly I was saying, no, I always turn right, it is the short route to work. The message in my head was so strong, I had to obey and follow through. So I turned left and wondered, "okay what’s going down today Jesus". As I drove along I see our local Security Company. They flagged me down. They  inform me of an attack on two young people in a home not far from where we were currently. Just after the parents had left the home the suspects had tried to  gain entry. They had been smashing the safety gates, trying to force the hinges out of the wall. The young people, aged around 18 and 15, brother and sister, were  screaming so much that a neig...

Blue Bicycle - word of knowledge

 Good morning 😀 On this blog l do my very best to keep up with the evidence of the Spirit of the Living God alive and well in our daily life. Here is another l clearly forgot to record. This scenario happened during my last teaching time at the public school l taught at for 8 years. A young lad from grade 8 asked me about the various gifts of the Spirit. I replied to him stating that there are 9 gifts of the Spirit.. He asked me sir what is the gift of a word of knowledge. I replied to him saying well my boy it's when God gives you information about something in someone else's life and when you speaker words that you have been given,  the person is shocked that you knew something about them that no one else did. What do you mean sir? To which I replied I saw you riding your blue Bicycle on the weekend and you were coming down a hill, a steep hill, and a bus came up behind you and nearly ran you over. You literally had to swerve out the way and you crushed onto the verge on th...
