SOMETHING AMAZING IS HAPPENING
THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE!
New York City, known throughout history as one of the greatest cities in the world. Known for its diversity of ethnicities and cultures, a city that reigns supreme as the food capital of the world. Two things that I’ve learned throughout my life when it pertains to food; is that food is a universal language that brings people together, food also has the power to disarm people. So many disputes, contracts and even partnerships are decided or settled over a meal. It does not surprise me that some of the greatest miracles in the Bible, especially the times where Jesus fed thousands from just a small portion. It’s time for NYC to truly taste and see how good Jesus truly is!
When Jesus told us that He was sending us back to New York City to do the greater works that He spoke of in the Bible, Jules and I said yes. We didn’t entertain doubt, fear, anxiety or stress, we were just excited to see how. We knew that when Jesus said it, that it was time to go. We knew that just as Jesus multiplied the food, that if we were willing to go with the little we had that He could multiply what we had and meet every need. We knew that by speaking those things that Jesus said to us that He would speak to others, that He would begin to move on the hearts of those that are as passionate to reach the lost. Jesus then gave me a revelation on how His hand would move and increase in power and provision. Jesus showed me that there’s no risk involved in anything He asks anyone to do, that obedience to Him would call for the harvest of souls throughout NYC to be taken, and others that are willing to do their part in helping us will reap of that incredible harvest!
This past month was absolutely amazing and totally God. Before we even left for New York City, Jesus provided us with a place to stay for the month. Jesus said to me months prior to us planning our visit, He said “I’m preparing a place for you in New York”. And so we went in faith and standing on His word to us. As soon as we arrived in New York we knew that Jesus was on the move from the very first meeting, Friday evening in Staten Island. The atmosphere was prime due to the amazing worship that kicked off the night, as I was calling out for those that were lost to come and receive Jesus, I could sense His overwhelming presence throughout the Church. Staying obedient to the move of the Spirit I began calling out to those that needed healing.Then the Lord had me call out an ingrown toenail, at that moment a lady began screaming, “that’s me, that’s me” she began to testify that her sister who was standing next to her had just taken her to the foot doctor earlier that day for an ingrown toenail that was infected. This lady was healed on the spot and fell out under the power of God without anyone even touching her. That quickly spread as a man came up to the stage moving his arm in circular motions repeatedly saying, “I can’t do this, I can’t do this” which I kept replying “but you’re doing that which you say you can’t do”, this man’s wife testified of her husband’s miraculous healing. Jesus was having His way, igniting hope and elevating an excitement about Him for all of Staten Island to see and witness!
The next four weeks I ministered in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, on Long Island and then in Lake George N.Y. Area. We saw many salvations, healings, deliverances and breakthroughs. During our month in New York I had the opportunity to meet with several Pastors, Church Leaders and Outreach Ministers, every meeting was the same, everyone strongly expressed that they are willing to do whatever it takes to Hit The Pavement to seek and save the lost. The five Boroughs of New York City and Long Island are primed and ready to Go Out and Reach the Greatest Harvest of Souls for Jesus. The dark cloud that has had its grips on New York for a very long time is lifting and Jesus is breathing a fresh breath into those that stood steadfast and did not waver from the Word of God!
WE’RE IN THE PLANNING STAGES OF A COUPLE OPEN AIR HITTING THE PAVEMENT OUTREACH EVENTS
This is just the beginning, we’re in the process of pulling permits for both Prospect Park and Sunset Park in Brooklyn for June 2022. Once we have the dates secured for both Parks we will inform everyone. We know that momentum is building, this will require a few end of Summer Outreach Events as well. These Soul Winning Outreaches are going to reach countless people in the hard pressed areas that we have targeted. The only name that will be Glorified before, during and after these events is Jesus. Several Churches that we have built relationships with have agreed to come and volunteer and help to follow up with everyone that receives Jesus at these events so that the local churches in their community can do their part, discipling and baptizing them. Because these outreaches are going to be in the heart of N.Y.C. There will be a lot of expenses to facilitate them. We do not have the national exposure as some ministries do, but with Jesus nothing is impossible. We know Jesus is moving on the hearts of those that have the means to help make each of these events a complete success.
Satan hates everything we all do when it comes to saving souls. Satan would love nothing more than for us to give up on these precious lives, but we can’t because we all remember where we were when Jesus saved us. This is why we only speak good things over New York City, it’s not that we ignore the rocketing crime rate, the violence and murders. We see the Gang members everywhere we turn, we see the young girls working the streets because they are being pimped out and scared for their lives. These are all God’s children, they need us to bring Jesus to them, right where they are.
