Short legs grow

This is what happened:
We went on a short term mission to Mozambique and WOW mind blowing stuff...honest..where do I start...OK one miracle @ a time
There was about 30 of us from various churches in the Durban area.We were based just North of Maputo and each night we headed out in small groups to various churches in the area. We ended up at a tiny church with about 150 people. It was late afternoon. The local people had given us handfulls of fire roasted Cashew nuts...my fav. Apparently the plantations were planted by the Portugese settles many years before. Anyway during a time of sharing our testimonies with the people I got this clear message in my head..."wash the peoples feet"...wow...hectic...out of character for me ...I don't do stuff like that. The message was clear clear in my heart.... so I asked for confirmation from other members of the group and they agreed. I called for the water etc, it was a huge task, but after while a young man arrived with a enamel bowl, soap and towel. We started washing the peoples feet and through the interpretor we made a call for the sick to make a prayer line for healing. Well I personally witnessed short legs grow at the name of Jesus. One by one we sat these old ladies down on a chair, with their backs firming up against the back support. When I picked the first ladies legs up and held them in my hands, I could see a definite 2 inches or so of shortness in the one leg. As we prayed together, and as I was holding her feet ...I closed my eyes...I was just being sincere. As I had my eyes closed...my friend Mark was hitting me on the shoulder.."Gav...Gav open your eyes...the leg is moving!!!"
Well when I did open my eyes...the heels were level...the leg had grown...Jesus had performed the miracle..
Well directly after that two more ladies were healed that early evening...ONLY THIS TIME....I kept my eyes wide opened and witnessed the supernatural healing power of God...I watched and felt the short leg push across my hand as God caused the healing!!! To add to these miracles God had done, the night before I had personlly held the video camera and filmed a man's leg as it grew !! GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER....I caught it on video. If you want to see the dvd contact me.
Many more miracles to share...keep tuned in to this blog.. :-) Bottom line...Give your life to Jesus...make sure you know where you will spend eternity...NO JOKE FRIENDS...the spiritual realm around us...unseen BUT ITS4REAL!!

2 DIAMONDS

This is what happened:
Had to share...reminded of Christ's love for his bride ...us...believers...
homecell last night we were sharing a little and the following 2 diamonds from 1st year Bible school came to mind

Jesus in Genesis...The word says Adam was not deceived...
Adam and Eve were 100% ...spiritual....non fallen state....walking with God in Eden
After the fall...after Eve had fallen into sin....it must have been very very obvious that Eve was no longer pure....no longer in 100% commune with God. Adam must have immediately seen his Bride was in a "fallen" state. Now keeping in mind what Jesus did for His Bride...us...the church...Jesus Died for us. He chose to die for his Bride
Adam symbolic of Jesus...the first Adam man...he chose to die...spiritually...because of his love for his Bride....he chose to partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Just the whole Jesus in Genesis teaching...so so beautiful

The second symbolic picture of Jesus in Genesis is seen when Jesus died on the cross....
Think carefully ...see the picture
God made Adam...and he saw that Adam was lonely...so...he put Adam into a deep sleep..(death)...and whilst in a deep sleep...he took a rib out of Adams side and formed his bride....
NOW HERE COME THE BEAUTY....Think of Jesus on the cross...he too was put into a deep sleep...death on the cross....and a spear was thrust into his side....water ran out....The rib taken out of the side of Adam whilst he was asleep was used for making his bride....just like the SECOND ADAM...JESUS......whilst dead on the cross....... out of his side .... His bride was made....
AMAZING SYMBOLISM....such love for us...wow

DREAM ABOUT HELL 27 May 1998

Originally typed on : 7 June 1998
Dreams I Had, and remembered

This dream went as follows:
I Believe that I found myself on the very edge of Hell itself. It was dark, there were numerous people moving around and many were lying down, moaning. The ones lying down seemed dead yet they were wryling in pain. The place was very dark, and portions of peoples faces could be seen. The people moving around seemed to be like Robots as they just carried out one particular task. They were taking these people who were lying on the ground and strapping them to a slate of some type and then letting them go down a slope nearby. This slope seemed to go off into a fiery glow. The odd glow was what shone from time to time and lit the area up around me. The people on the ground were my main concern. I did not recognise anybody thank God for that. They seemed to be screaming and trying to stop themselves from being strapped to the slates. They were in great pain as I remember some of them having open flesh wounds and skin burns. Others seemed to have worms under their skin and it seemed that the pain was unbearable but it could not be stopped because they were already dead! It was a heart wrenching sight I wanted to help but could not. It seemed as if they could not talk or hear me. I seemed to be staying here in this place far too long and out of desperation I tried talking to a body lying on the dusty floor next to me. I found myself shouting at this body. There was no response, the body seemed to be more of a corpse than anything else.
The more I tried to get an answer and ask how to get out the more I was ignored. No response , nobody cared about me, I could not bare it a moment longer. I found myself clinging to this corpse, I was shaking it and shouting for assistance. The eyes were closed but it was alive.
I came out of this terrible dream as I cried out with all my being "JESUS !! ". At that very instant I found myself awake in bed with my darling wife, standing next to me. As I lay there thinking back into the dream, tears rolled down my cheeks. I was shacking and honestly in state of ABSOLUTE SHOCK!  I told my wife that I had just had a wrestle with hell and she held my hand  and prayed with me.
If this was the entrance to Hell, For heavens sake people, make sure you are born again.
When your heart stops beating you step straight into the unseen world around us. Jesus either knows us because of the Holy Spirit in us or we miss it! Jesus said unless a person is born again they shall not see the Kingdom of God………
Whoever you are, make sure you are born-again by the Holy Spirit!!! Catch my urgency ???
Make sure you have the same Spirit living in you that raised Jesus from the dead. Jumping out of an Aeroplane without a parachute, is the same as dyeing without accepting Jesus into your heart.

R2800 or else

This is what happened:
A number of years ago when the interest rates went through the roof we nearly lost our home. By the satge of this miracle recorded here, we were informed by one of the large friendly banks that if we did not pay R2800 into the bond account within a day or two, we would lose our home!!
So my lady and I got on our knees and prayed..."Lord Help, we trust you alone Jesus, during this time. We need R2800 today"
Well no lighting bolts...no burning bushes...no voices...nothing!!
I sat down, opened the local Paper and after a few minutes I noticed an add. It said that they buy old vehicles for cash. I phoned the guy and he said he would be there in 30minutes!!
Here is the miracle....I had an old rust bucket , heap of rubbish bukkie that hardly started , and in fact was towed home a week or two before.
The guy arrived with the necessay for Sale papers...something the seller normally suppliers..he asked how much I wanted I said R3000. He said I will give you R2800 cash. We signed "foets toets" papers and ...believe it or not...we could not...He turned the key..it started 1st go and then he proceded to drive it away and we never heard from him again..
God had answered our prayer...we had R2800 CASH in our hands within 40minutes of having prayed for help!!!!
God is so awesome...interested in your everyday life

GOD SAID "MOVE" ...we were shattered..not easy

This is what happened: Well we had been in a LARGE church for around 15 yrs or so..lost count to tell the truth. We had been active in the Church, running a homecell...going on mission trips...attending every prayer meeting possible..etc etc. At the beginning of 2009, I felt strongly in my heart that God wanted us to move!! WOW..it shattered me.. I shared my heart with my wife and she immediately agreed as she felt the same. She had not shared it with me as yet.
So now where...we prayed and waited for our answer. Nothing for a good few days, when out of the blue, a friend Julian invited us to visit the Church he attends. So we went. In the car, just before going in, my wife and two daughters and myself prayed..we asked God.." Father if you want us to move then please confirm this. Do we move or do we stay?"
We went in, surrounded by lovely lovely people of God. We loved the Praise and worship, tears rolling down cheeks, with sincere hearts we sat down to hear the word. Well here is the MIRACLE.
Paster Johnathan Leach, whom we love to bits, says this. He said " There are folk here today who are expecting an answer from God, and I want to tell you, that today you will get you answer before you leave here today!"
We nearly fell off our pew! Although a general statement...it hit right home for us.So there we sat...expectant!!
Johnathan switches on his overhead BIG SCREEN and as he is about to put his first slide up, he says my message today is >>>MOVE<<< Can you believe that..WOW...Our answer to our prayer we prayed in the car...GIVEN CLEARLY...IN WRITING AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE MEETING...Mindblowing actually. His preach went on to clearly confirm what we felt on our heart. So now 6 months later we look back, and see the journey God took us on...and we know that we know that we know, that God was in the move all the way. We finnally see...We got the message 'MOVE' in Dec 2008 and HCF Leadership had the same message in terms of ...'Move Out'. We felt to move closer home and HCF planted into Westville. We know this is what the Spirit was showing us all along. We are settling in at HCF Westville.CRAZY ROLLER COASTER RIDEFOR US...but Praise God we heard and obeyed, even although it has cost us in terms of experiences. We believe God alowed us to experience what other local Churches are like, how they function, how they treat visitors. etc It has been interesting to say the very least. We LEARNT A LOT....we saw a lot...some strange and funny stuff along the way!!  Spiritual Leassons Learnt ... But now, praise God, we are BACK HOME where we belong.. Such love...such family..such vision..so awesome..Thank you Lord God Almighty. Our Prayer as a family, use us Lord Use us we pray...AMEN

"GO HOME NOW" @ TREE 63 CONCERT

This is what happened:
God is amazing. He is intimatley interested in every facet of your life.
Enjoy this scenario that happened to us..
We were amped up to attend the TREE 63 concert on the beach in Durban, way back around 2002. We all jumped into my jeep and made our way down. Parking was a problem, but after much hunting around, we found a place to park. We had a fair walk to the beach, slowly pushing our way through the maddening crowd and onto the beach, right by the Pier. As we got there, John Ellis, walked up, grabbed the microphone and said "WHEN YOU HEAR THE SIGNAL....IT WILL BE...TREE 63 EXACTLY" We were so pleased to be there...we loved these guys and the AWESOME music they make. Music that honours God
Somehow, despite the excitement of being there, I had a slight uneasy feeling in my heart. The next thing I get this overpowering message " GO HOME NOW!"
It was not a voice, but rather a thought pattern that overpowered my entire mind.
I immediately spun around and told my wife and friends..they thought I was looney Tunes...we had just arrived...we battled to get a parking...The concert had just started ...I mean really...r u crazy!!
Anyway we just obeyed...and fought our way back to the Jeep and drove home. There was not much communication on the way home...we were all thinking, why has God done this..Why has he sent us home, when the concert had just started!!

Well, as we entered our home, we found out why God said go home now. Thieves were in our house, and as we entered they litterally dived out the windows in the lower level bedroom windows. I broke out in Tongues, a spiritual language given by God...shouting out aloud in tongues as we moved into the lounge area. Craig, had a stick and he marched forward, like my armour bearer, ready to strike any human that may come at us. After a few minutes PROFORCE SECURITY arrived and checked our home out for potential thieves. They must have been desperate, as they had been disturbed whilst eating a tin of Dog tinned food!! We found the spoon still in the tin. We found the 2 L milk container leaking on our matress on our bed.
Here is the miracle...If we had not heard and listened at that specific moment...we would have lost EVERYTHING!! All our belongings, everything we own, was neatly packed in bags, wrapped in blankets ready to go. Meat from the deep freeze wrapped in with our daughters school books , clothes, medals, jewelry , shoes etc

They got away with nothing...PRAISE GOD...
MAY WE ALL BE IN THE CORRECT FRAME OF MIND TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE CLEARLY and do what He says
My prayer: Lord, may I always be in a position to hear your voice....discipline me to listen and do...AMEN

He said "Go the way you know"

This is what happened:
Long story short....whilst teaching I used to run a 10 seater microbus. There was a need for safer transport to and fro, so I stepped in with an oldish model Microbus. Well it was a little ...ummm...lacking in areas...and on a teachers salary, improvements took a little longer. One brake light not working, one headlight not operating...brakes a bit rough..juddery...hooter worked sometimes etc...tyres very very close to smooth...needed replacing asap...a typical Gov teachers car back in 1995 or so.
On one particular day...I had leave..but still took the 8 or 10 young people in that morning. I told them I would drive down and fetch them after school, so they must not worry.

Here is the miracle...at around 13h30 I took a slow drive to the school in Durban. I used the same old route, but nearing the end, I thought...Man I am so sick of using this route, I think I will go another way. I think at these robots coming up, I will go straight instead of turning left and going the way I had used every morning for years. AsI am approaching the robot, I get this seriously OVERPOWERING MESSAGE "Go the way you know " I mean this was no thought of mine...it was BANG ...deep spirit stuff...the words seemed to take over my entire being...."Go the way you know"
Well it was simple..I knew it was God, so I simply obeyed and turned left, and followed the same old route.
To my surprise as I came near to the stadium, I see this huge intense Road Traffic Police - road block. I mean they were checking every car that looked suspicious, the lights, the hooter, the tyres etc etc...mmmmmmmmm

If I did not listen to the message God gave me, and gone another way, I would not have seen that roadblock!! It means I would have driven straight into it on my way back.
Consequently I picked the young people up, and drove home using another route completley...ha ha ha....WOW too close for comfort...Thank goodness, Daddy could see ahead and he directed my path so as to save me BIG MONEY on a fine. The whole thing woke me up and within days I had the Microbus sorted out and completley roadworthy

God seriously did guide me that day! phew

OVERSLEPT

This is what happened:
One of the highlights of my life has been the time I spent teaching at a local High School. I taught from 1994 to around Mid 2002, loving every minute...well at time it seemed like hell, but God soon used those few HARD times to teach me and the young people a lesson or two..ha ha
Teaching is BRILLIANT, the dynamic in the classroom AWESOME.

I had a Grade 10 registration class. One young lad, Craig, lived not far from our home. So with time, after passing each other on the road and waving etc, he eventually ended up getting a lift with me. Craig contributed towards my fuel bill, so he was a huge blessing. As the years passed, Craig and I became good friends. Still to this day some 15years later, He and his lovely wife pop around and visit.

One morning, I over-slept!! Teachers don't make mistakes OK!!
Well this caused chaos...Craig was waiting down the road and there I was still snoring...potentially LATE for school!! Can you imagine..Why you Late BOY?...well My teacher overslept!! what a feeble excuse!!

Anyway, here is the miracle....while I was fast asleep..I start getting this vision of Craig standing on the side of the road. In my dream, I could clearly see Craig standing there as he had done every School morning for years....
I remember seeing him so clear in my dream...standing there, bag on his back, black blazer on...standing ...waiting...standing...just standing there, THEN SUDDENLY....WHAT ..I AM LATE....LATE ....WOW...CRAIG IS WAITING!!!

I flew out of bed...got dressed in minutes...did the necessaries and screamed off..
Flying out the door, I shouted back to my wife...I am so so so late...Craig is waiting..I saw him in a dream right now...that is how I woke up!!

Amazing stuff...God busy with us as his Children...awesome stuff

By the way...we just just made it to school on time

I ran into the assembly as guilty as sin...I was the cause of Craig being semi-late...wow BUT GOD saved the day...dreams and visions

Lost Keys

This is what happened:
After School one of the students asked if I could help him. He wanted me to fetch his motorbike at a friends place and drop it at his home. So Trevor travelled home with me in the car and we went to my place to fetch my Pickup so I could go fetch his bike. We were met by my beautiful wife and my eldest daughter at the door. I told them I was just quickly going to help Trevor fetch his bike. I looked around for the Pickup keys...nowhere to be seen. We all search high and low. We check my pockets, the clothing basket, the bedrooms, the lounge cushions etc...nowhere!!
So I had to tell Trevor that I was sorry but I could not assist because I could not find the keys
As we were walking out, so I could go drop Trevor with the car...I felt an overpowering thought..."You have not asked me where the keys are!! "
Well I was shocked...so I prayed out aloud for all to hear. Lord you know where the keys are, please show us.

I heard no voices...no lightening bolts

We got in the car and as we were about to drive off...my wife came running out...I found the keys!!!

Amazing..God directed her to the keys...under a dish towel in the Kitchen...minutes after us having asked

Miracle
