Revival of the Bay of The Holy Spirit

Bay of the Holy Spirit™ Sept. 2009 URL: www.bayoftheholyspirit.com Overseer: Jerry J. Tomecek Email: bohs@bellsouth.net “Prophet in Overalls #22" PARADYN SHIFT September 22, 2010 is a special day on God’s calendar. Let me explain. Two weeks before 9/11 God gave me a cryptic message “ ~m119". No one could decipher this message until the planes crashed into the twin towers. Then someone called me and said “ You are a Jew,correct”. “Yes I am grafted in” was my response. He then said, “Read it as a Hebrew “ 9/11 lower Manhattan “ Then I ask God, “Why didn’t he let me know what it meant.” He said “the world wouldn’t believe it ! ”. Two years ago, after the Bay of Holy Spirit sign was dedicated, I got another message : “September 22". Again, no answer as to what it meant. I wait at sun up, on September 22 at the sign. Then someone said, “What is the Jewish significance of that date.” September 22, 2010 is a Sunday and is the Feast of Tabernacles. Again, I will be at the sign at sun rise.. Spiritual people believe Jesus will return on Suckkot. Agriculturally, Sukkot is a harvest festival and is sometimes referred to as Chag Ha-Asif Chag Ha-Asif (in Hebrew), the Festival of Ingathering. Are you ready? Repent and restore God to his right place in your life. << MORE >>

Trouble Does Not Mean Defeat

Have you ever wondered how we seem to stumble into trouble without even trying. Many people have told me that I seem to bounce back, no matter what happens. It takes longer sometimes than others. Pastor Joel Grantham's message, NEVER CONFUSE TROUBLE WITH DEFEAT gives a Biblical discourse on how Christians should be able to do this. << MORE >>

What if these are the Last Days?

I have been asked several times in the last couple of months, if I thought we were in the last days? Well the answer has to be of course, I do. There are two reasons, and possibly more.<< MORE >>

Owner's Clarification of His position on Certain Doctrines

Today I just want to share my heart, probably in a way I have never before.  I pray two or more things will be accomplished in this blog.  I pray God's Spirit will enable those that need to hear it, will.  Secondly, I pray that my words will be those that my hearers will be able to absorb.

I had intended to podcast this; however, I am still having software problems.  The problems are in my head, not my computer.  I am hoping to get some help soon with the software, not my head.

I have prepared the following to simply put into to perspective where I am in my life right now.  Who cares?  You might ask this legitimately.

I am doing this, because many of my readers do not know me, and they have read several Catholic articles on this blog.  They deserve to understand the reasons for this.  I invite you again to my testimony.  It too has been rewritten.  I hope it is a little more succinct and more explanatory.

Additionally, I am hoping to get help I hope to open my heart to a cross section of people that are in my life now and those that have passed through or I have passed through their lives.

Well here goes.  I am not going to quote a bunch of scriptures today.  I will be posting another set of sermons from Pastor Joel Grantham, FaithWord Church as soon as I can work out some of the aforementioned soft-ware problems.

We all have things on our hearts that cause us grief.  But we must remember that we are righteous, once we become born again.  We have the taint of original sin from the fall of Adam.  Have you ever had to teach a baby to be bad or selfish?  However, at the new birth we become a new creation.  The reason is that we have died to the world and to self.  We are now a citizen of heavenly realms.  We are now a child of God.  All are not God’s children in this sense.  But we that are a child of God, we are now the inheritors of God’s promises.  But the scriptures state that without knowledge my people perish.  Check Hosea 4:6, Is 56:10 and there are others. 

Well,  I have to apologize to all those that I have Pastored, all those that have crossed my path as I ministered.  I am told that I am not l responsible for my preaching and teaching, before I received the full knowledge of God’s gifts to his children. 

The question can honestly be asked now; do I think I have received the full breath of God’s magnificent gifts?  That is a logical, however, a probably sarcastic tinge to it.  Well the answer is not sarcastic.  NO!!!

But I know I have cheated many people of the truths I knew when I was younger, due to the fact, I was afraid of losing my Church.  I had a young family during most of my ministry. And I cheated them also.  We stayed in poverty, because I could not, from ignorance, operate under God’s Laws.  I stayed sick, because I did not operate under God’s Laws.  You know that there are a set of laws placed by God into the physical world.  You ask what laws?  Well, I do not believe you would want to step off a high-rise, thinking Gravity is not going to work this time.  We have learned that if we cooperate and move with the physical laws life is a lot better.  The same is true with God’s Spiritual Laws.  

My dealings with people in my past, was many times out of God’s Perfect Will for sure.  I seek forgiveness from these as I move forward.   This applies to some that I will not be able to see until we are either raptured or I do die and meet them at the gate of glory.  Others are still here, but getting to them for many reasons is difficult.  That is why I am doing this so that maybe God can expand this statement to them, with the Spirit carrying it, without it being perverted.

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life.  If you read my testimony at the website I gave you earlier, you will see many of them.  My personal life has been a wreck.  But God is slowly bringing this back in line.  I always thought I was doing right, and could not figure out how everything went haywire.  I used to say, that “Life is just a bowl of cherries, but how come I always get the pits.”

Not anymore, God is now in total control.  We are walking and talking together. My tongue (unknown) is getting exercised daily and sometimes more.  PRAISE GOD.

But now I cannot be silent anymore.  And I am learning more every day.  And it is my hope that I can begin to impart some of this now, either through my own testimony, or my teachings or the preaching and teaching of others on this blog. 

What is that teaching, which we are not already getting?  To answer that, I refer back to an expression that was popular in the late sixties and the seventies, Full Gospel.  Well, I believe that a better term should be Fullness of Faith and Completeness of the Word. 

Now what is that completeness?  It is three fold.  If you follow God’s promises, and the Spiritual Laws that are there, then when you speak health, sickness has to flee, because you have the authority, by God’s Grace and Gifts to do so.  When you speak life in faith, the dead can be raised.  When you speak God’s Word to your finances, and follow His rules, you will be in abundance.  I can go on ad infinitum.  But that is enough to give you, especially if you are in the Word, and can wait until I can get rid of some software glitches, you will hear and understand what I am saying a taste of what is coming.

 My testimony, which you can find at http://www.coffeewithjimholmes.net/Success_Stories.html, a   summary testimony as to how I got to this point in my life.  I pray as a third item that my life will continue to reflect the truths that I am now teaching.  God has blessed and kept me, since November of 1966, when I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  With that and the Spirit being in me since my Salvation guiding me, I should have a lot more knowledge.  However, my Southern Baptist theological education did not give the necessary knowledge, for me to operate in the Spirit.

Now, I did glean some knowledge along the way and God used me deliver healing for several people.  However, I could not heal two of my daughters, when they were sick unto death. In one case I called on a man, that I knew, believed from his soul.  The other situation several years later, I depended on doctors and science.  I was not using the knowledge in my heart and soul, but the knowledge in my head.  While I believed, it was as we tell people not to believe with head knowledge for Salvation.  They must believe with their heart, so that they Ginosko, Greek for knowing.  It literally means, I know that I know that I know.   That can only come from the Heart, because the mind or the flesh always has distrust for all things, which it cannot touch or see.  To believe the other gifts of God, it too must be believed from the very same spot.  If you believe this limited summary of what is to come on this blog, you can now operate in the Spirit.

Now the next question that may be in your thoughts; has he turned his back on the Catholic Church?  No they have turned their back on me.  And that is enough said about that.  I pray that I can keep my good friendships I have made in that body of believers.

I am now ready to teach and preach the truths that I am remembering and those that I continually learn from God’s rich and powerful Word. 

Please stand by for my future posts as I and others lay out God’s Perfect Will for our lives.

Operation Rescue

I mentioned in the previous Blog about Operation Rescue.  I believe it is so important that I wanted to put a separate blog on it.

You will find out all you about it at bit.ly/9rbq3T . Please check it out.  It is worth your while.

What Happened To D-Day?

One of our Board Members, IFM, Jim Stokes, questions about coverage of D-Day this year.  June 6, 1944  Which is one of the greatest and hardest fought battles of Allies of Freedom in History, not to take away from any other sacrifices made before or since that day.  However, through those battles on the beaches of Normandy, we started the greatest liberation or a continent in history.  But as the survivors are beginning to die off, we tend to forget, as Tom Brokaw called them the greatest generation.

In deference to Jim, where he says he heard no mention of the memorial.  I did hear a reference to it on Fox News, relating that there were some ceremonies here in the States.  It was on Fox News and only one mention.  It could have been mentioned several times, in the same spot.  But there was no story on it.  As you know I watch Fox News almost all day. 

Now read the short poignant reminder of our loss of Memory, by Jim Stokes Member of the Board of Inmate Family Ministry, of which I am the Senior Minister.

            

Yesterday was June 6th, anniversary of D-Day in Europe. A pivotal day for American, European, British, and Australian history.

The only notice of it was the "Peanuts" comic strip, which was a solemn reminder.

Nowhere else in the paper or news did I hear about it.

Did you?

The Last Days

I started a series on the Second Coming some weeks ago.  I have held off until I could put these on the blog.  I will follow up with summaries of where we are now, as far as physical signs (Geophysical)  and political signs.  
Pastor Joel Grantham of Faith Word Church, Mobile Alabama, phone #251-776-1171, is in the middle of a series on the Last Days.  This particular edition is the first in a probable 3 part series delivered at Faith Word Church on April 11, 2010.  There are new revelations in this message and the second one.  I am sure there will be more on the third one.  As he allows, I will post all of them.

The World, Economic Collapse, The Spirit of Anti-Christ, Tribulation, Armageddon - 2012 (Part 1)

Good Morning faithful and other readers. I have been off the Blog, getting moved and settled. Settled is a relative term. I should have learned how to do that with so many moves in my life, but except for the last 8 years or so, I really moved about every two years. House to House, town to town and Church to Church. Although, the challenge with this is that such moves are so frequent, that you never really get settled. I do not covet, those that have been able to stay in one or two houses in their ... << MORE >>
