🔥 FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT
Let me say this to start:
Fire still falls. The Wind still blows. And the Harvest is READY.
I’m just a traveling missionary on the streets of America, where the fields are white and the Spirit is moving. Evangelism is my passion. Souls are my mission. My heart burns to reveal Jesus and glorify God—outside the four walls of the church. This Gospel is not just theory—it is power. And that power is meant for the streets.
I like to think of verses like —
Luke 14:22 and 23.
While on a mission to release that power into the dark and wild places of the city, I found myself standing in a parking lot. No stage. No mic. No flyers or giveaways. Just asphalt—and obedience. So we parked the vehicle, and I stepped out in faith. The Holy Spirit whispered: “Go this way.”
Now Jude 1:20 says to “build yourself up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” I’d been doing just that all morning. So when the Lord spoke, I was charged, sensitive, and ready. But here’s the thing—there were no people in that direction. Just stillness. But I went. Obedience is always key when on mission.
Obedience is everything.
As I approached a building, the presence of God increased on me. The atmosphere shifted—thick, weighty, electric. It was like the entire parking lot became holy ground.
Then I saw them—two strangers standing near a column. The Spirit said, “Lay hands on them. They need Jesus revealed to them in power.” So I approached.
I simply said, “Hi.”
They replied, “Man of God, please pray for us.”
Turns out—they didn’t know each other. But both had been walking when they felt an unexplainable urge to stop right there. As I arrived, they were literally talking about how they both felt they were supposed to wait in that exact spot.
Only God.
When I laid hands on them, the power of God fell like fire. There was crying. Laughing. Shaking. The Holy Ghost moved with fire and precision. Specific prayers. Prophetic insight. Healing. Deliverance. They were filled with joy, baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire, and equipped to carry what they received.
But it didn’t stop there.
Several onlookers began to gather—drawn by the tangible presence of God.
They watched in awe as the Spirit moved, and right there in the open air, others began to receive the revelation of Jesus Christ. Eyes were opened. Hearts were stirred. The fire of revival began to spread, one spark at a time.
This is what I live for.
This is what I burn for.
No buildings. No programs. Just God, people, and power.
🔥 JESUS IS ALIVE. THE FIRE STILL FALLS. THE WIND STILL BLOWS. AND THE HARVEST IS READY. 🔥
