Eye Witness Accounts Of Jesus Changing Lives

Surf Shop Testimony

I had to go to the shop very early this morning to check the roof because of all the rain. We have a leak and I have to check the bucket to make sure it’s catching the water. We have someone coming in to fix it but not till tomorrow. Since I was in early, I also prayed over and anointed the entire inside. I do this quite regularly sometimes several days a week. As most often happens, the Lord brings someone in for prayer when I’m there early before opening the surf shop side. The Barista Bar opens at 7am – Surf Shop at 8am. As soon as the Barista Bar opened, a lady (Laurel) came in for coffee. Holy Spirit immediately highlighted her as I was praying and anointing. At first I didn’t do anything and continued to do what I was doing, and as I did she got her coffee and left. However, a moment later she came back in to give someone her business card. I immediately knew it was the Lord because I silently said, ‘Lord, if she comes back, I know you brought her here.’ It was without a doubt a GODINCIDENCE!
I approached her and introduced myself and began telling her about the shop and how it was Holy ground and the Lord brought people here for prayer for many reasons. I shared deep Truth and scripture with her for about thirty minutes or so. She soaked in every word. I then shared that often I hear a word from the Lord as to why the Lord has brought that person in, but I didn’t know why He had brought her (Laurel) in. I said many come in for healing – spiritual, physical or emotional.
I then shared a testimony of a couple who came in awhile ago and I heard ‘sickness’, so I approached them and told them they weren’t there to shop, either one of them needed healing or someone they knew. When I said that, the man screamed and his knees buckled and the lady cried – their son had just been diagnosed with a terminal disease. I said that’s why you’re here, we need to decree and declare healing and the WORD will go out and not return void as we come together in faith and believe it’s done!
As I was sharing this testimony with Laurel, she began to tear up and I knew she knew why she was there. She told me she was in remission from cancer and was about to go to a Cancer Center in Texas to get a follow up report – BAM! We both knew it was confirmation without a doubt that’s why she was here. I said we need to pray. I sat Laurel on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, anointed her with oil and covered her with my Talit. I asked her if she went to church. She said she believed in Jesus but did not go to church or read the Bible.
I said well you just got a WHOLE LOT OF CHURCH AND TEACHING! I then went on to teach and explain about the baptisms of believing, water and Holy Spirit. I said I’ll not only declare healing over her body but ask the Lord to baptize her and fill her with His spirit (Holy Spirit). As I began to pray, I heard the word ‘Fear’ and knew she had a spirit of fear. So, not only was Laurel there to be healed, she was there to be delivered and receive the baptism of Holy Spirit!
All I can say is you just had to be there to see and experience all that happened. Laurel wept, and was so overwhelmed she basically went out and just sat there for awhile soaking in all that the Lord was doing. Keep in mind this was all done in a Surf Shop. Laurel would have never gone to a church. Afterwards, she asked if we had service here on Sundays, and I said no not really – it’s church everyday but we do have a lot of gatherings and we are about to go into season and do more. She said she would come back and talk more and I’ll be connecting her with others to help her with her walk with the Lord. Just another day at the shop living in the Kingdom and being the EKKLESIA.

Here’s a follow up ‘PRAISE REPORT’ from a Testimony I posted this on Saturday. 
(I reposted the Testimony at the end of this Paise report) I received this from Grady the following Monday. 
From Grady:
Hi everyone, I just want to take a moment and share my God-incident from this weekend. As many of you know I’ve been battling a broken ankle for the last 6 months or so. This weekend we went down to the beach and I obviously had Tj (his friend) test out my new skimboard. Well with a New skimboard you gotta have wax so I had to go get wax from Mr surfs. So I go and get some and talk to my good friends John (Owner) and Ford (staff) who own and run the shop. (Mind you John is the one who helped lead me to Christ and baptize me, and that the surf shop is Holy ground) Well I get the wax and leave and the day goes on. The next day I felt led to go back and get lunch there with my pops. I get there and look around as usual. I say hey to John and he asks if I had been skimming today and I said no because my ankle was broken, and was bothering me. So he tells me he would pray for healing over me. As he’s gathering the prayer oil and Talit the man playing the guitar started playing ‘dry bones’. The man said before he knew he was coming to the shop, God told him to play that song while he was in the shower this morning. John also said he was about to leave but God told him to stay, and right when he turned around to come back in the shop I walked in. He started praying, praying for me and anointing my leg with oil and my foot started twitching and moving. The Lord was healing it from the inside out and I could feel and see it. And then he prayed for the fire of the Holy Spirit to fill me and that I would receive a promotion in a spiritual sense, right then a warm calming mood/feeling came over me. My ankle and soul and everything now feels so much better and idk how to describe other than a God moment and the Holy Spirit healing me. The next day I met a bunch of my closest friends to go and skim. I skimmed ALL DAY with ZERO PAIN. The reason I share this is to show how God has worked in my life to show me how the impossible is possible. Just two weeks ago I was told my ankle would never heal the same and that I would struggle with running for the rest of my life. Matthew 19:26, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”
God bless! 🤙🏾💙
WEEKEND TESTIMONY:
Pic 1 (Max Sisk, Grady, and me / Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ 🌊)
Grady came into the shop with his grandfather. They’re from Georgia. Grady’s grandparents have a condo here in PCB. There’s an incredible story behind how Grady came to be baptized in the Holy Spirit at the shop. Actually, I was honored to baptize Grady and his two younger brothers in the Gulf – all that is another story.
As we all spoke, I found out Grady had injured his foot playing football awhile back. He kept playing sports, as most athletes do, ignoring it and dealt with the pain not knowing he’d fractured it. Over time it remained and then got worse when he tweaked it skimboarding. I immediately knew the Lord brought him in to be healed. During this time, I received a text from Max saying he’d like to come over to the shop and worship. I said, ‘Bring your guitar and head on over.’ Little did I know that Holy Spirit spoke to him and to open up worship with the song ‘Dry Bones’.
– the Lord set it all in order.
I sat Grady on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, we removed our shoes, I anointed him and his foot with oil and covered him with my Talit. As I got ready to pray for Yeshua to heal Grady’s foot, I heard Max begin to play the song with the words ‘Dry bones come to life!’ CRAZY. I asked Max, ‘Why are you playing that song?’ That’s when he told me that Holy Spirit spoke to him, in the shower btw, to come to the shop, worship and begin with that particular song. Max knew nothing about Grady or why I was about to pray for him for. As a matter of fact, he has never met Grady. I knew it was a ‘GODINCIDENCE’ and confirmation that Grady would be healed. As I prayed for Grady holding his foot, his foot supernaturally began to jerk and I heard it crack. I wasn’t moving it, only holding Grady’s foot and leg. I asked Grady why was he jerking his foot? He said I’m not! It was supernaturally moving. Then I heard the Lord say to prophesy for ‘promotion!’ As I did, laying hands on Grady, I spoke the words Holy Spirit gave me. Grady was completely overwhelmed as the power of the Lord poured into him. What happened is beyond expression. Like I said, Grady was completely overwhelmed and just sat there saying ‘WOW WOW!’

Surf Shop Testimony and MY personal Praise Report!

wow 😯 – Wow 😮 – WOW! 🤩
I’m TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY – how Yeshua is the God miracles. I have a COMPLETE tear of my right shoulder rotator’s cuff and the major head of my bicep (same arm) is completely ruptured (7” inch separation / detachment) from my shoulder. Explain to me how I have complete range of motion and almost full strength in my arm – ONLY Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua Hamashiach) Lord of lords, King of kings Jehovah-Rapha (the Lord who heals) my arm is functioning supernaturally naturally.
I paddled and surfed for almost two hours with only minimal soreness. Just saying, I’ve always had the soreness. Like I said I totally blown away.
God is Absolutely amazing and SO GOOD!
Picture from the surf session. Everyone was out having a blast and the vibe was awesome! I was paddling up to everyone in the line up sharing what the Lord had done for me!

Surf Shop Testimony

Once again it’s been FIRE 🔥 at the shop and I’ve been pouring out all day. The Testimonies are so much, there’s no way possible to write down all the things that the Lord is doing. Like I said – been poring out God’s LOVE all day.  I was humbled and honored to meet and pray with this group of God’s daughter’s. As we prayed the presence of Holy Spirit was powerful and a couple of the girls began to tear up! 
I’m still trying to wrap my head around how radically amazing our Lord orchestras the MOST EXTRAORDINARY circumstances / encounters.

Surf Shop Testimony

The Lord is bringing in more Kingdom connections daily and is moving mightily! Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We SO GREATLY appreciate all your prayers and support. These girls came to the shop and I let them pray for healing over a friend who came in for prayer because she was suffering with severe neck pain. It was their first time in doing so. I stood by and prayed in the spirit as they laid hands on her and prayed – BAM! Holy Spirit reduced her neck pain! It was so beautiful and the girls who prayed were blown away! They were so encouraged and their faith increased to a whole new level. Discipling the next generation to expand God’s Kingdom in the earth.

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Iris  – I recognized her but because I meet and pray with so many people, it’s difficult to recall the details. She came in this afternoon to tell me what had happened. She said a few months ago she came to the shop with a friend (Sam). It was after church and they wanted to go out to lunch and she sensed she needed to come to Finn’s. When she got here, she said she felt an impression to come into the Surf Shop. I was there and I approached her and sensed she needed prayer. She told me she had fluid in her heart and a spot on her lungs and didn’t want surgery. She had gone through quite a lot when the tornado came through PCB last January (2024). She had lost most everything. She said that I prayed with her for healing. I then remembered, and I remembered it was POWERFUL as the presence of Holy Spirit was heavy. She said that all the fluid in her heart was gone, as well as, the spot on her lungs – Yeshua (Jesus) healed her completely!
As for Sam, her friend, I and my employee ‘Robin’ prayed for him. She said he was in a really bad state. I also remembered it was powerful and he needed a lot of emotional healing. Sam was set free from the strongholds that were oppressing him. Iris told me that since that day we prayed with Sam, he left a completely different person in a positive way, and was set free from the person he was before! All praise and honor and glory to our Lord and Savior Yeshua Hamashiach!

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Sam (Samuel). I use to minister to him and his brother almost a decade ago.
I haven’t seen him in QUITE AWHILE!
Holy Spirit brought him and his brother up to my mind and heart. I don’t have any contact information and or knowledge of what ever happened to them – BUT GOD!
Two days after Holy Spirit brought him to my mind, my employee texts me and says there’s a kid who came by wanting to talk with you. He said you used to minister to him and he’d attend your SK8 nights at the shop years ago. He left his number and I believe he needs prayer.
I immediately knew without a doubt – it was God ordained and the Lord wanted me to do something. I prayed and asked Him and He let me know.
I contacted Sam, and we set a time to come meet. We sat and I listened to all that was going on with him and his family – a pretty tough life to say the least.
I sat and shared the deeper things of Yeshua (Jesus), scripture, and explained the baptisms of accepting Yeshua as Lord and Savior, the baptism of water and the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire. Sam also had severe back pain.
I got my employee ‘Robin’ and had Sam sit on the Surfboard Prayer Bench. I covered him with my Talit and anointed him with oil. We began to pray over Sam. I commanded the strongholds that were afflicting Sam, to be broken off (deliverance), his back to be healed and the Lord to baptize him in the Holy Spirit and fire. Yessiree – it was done! Sam teared up and sweat as the Lord healed, delivered and set Sam free and he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. He will never be the same. Sam will be bringing his girlfriend in to meet with me and I’ll be discipling them regularly. Just like the shirt says that I’m wearing : ‘GOD IS GOOD’
Just another great morning at the Surf Shop.

Surf Shop Testimony

Praise Reports – from my dear brother RonLeah Dyer. (read at the end)
I remember clearly what happened the morning Ron came into the shop with his family. When they told me about their daughter’s condition I clearly heard the Lord say for me to pray for their daughter the words ‘REVERSE OSMOSIS!’ It was so vivid!
I immediately laid my hands on her and declared the words He gave me to speak in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach! Here’s (in the post) Ron’s testimony.
From Ron:
God sends us to places not only for his commission, but to receive rewards for our obediences. A year ago we started becoming aware of sensory issues in our toddler Izzy. It was after her first rounds of vaccines. She would flap her hands, spin in circles and hard blink for example. Just very sensitive in behavior. Though many worldly voices spoke over our daughter, we kept faith in a God that can do all things. We had a Praying Church at Samburg Baptist and In our obedience to do the great commission in Panama City, We received a Huge Miracle! John at Mr. Surf’s Surf Shop received a Word to Pray over Elizabeth and Spoke the Word Reverse Osmosis! Since she has been Improving with Leaps and Bounds! Her outburst have almost Stopped completely, No More Circles or Hand Flapping and her vocabulary and Attention has improved Drastically! We also had been praying about a Product to Help called Zeolite, which was also confirmed in the Spirit with Kimberly  Quinn. Faith, and Obedience of Works is the Key to getting your Miracle! With man this isn’t possible but with God all things are Possible! Matthew19:26

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Mark and his wife. I met and prayed with Mark’s wife several weeks ago. I was sitting in the coffee shop when she came in with a friend. I was engaged in a conversation / meeting with a friend when she walked by me, and Holy Spirit immediately highlighted her and gave me an unction that she needed prayer. Basically, He (Holy Spirit) spoke and said that I needed to pray for her, but about what He didn’t reveal it. All I knew is that Holy Spirit wanted me to pray for her.
Unfortunately, I was engaged in a meeting at that time and I watched as she and her friend got an Acai bowl and went outside to sit and eat. As soon as I was done with my meeting, I got up and went to my truck because I had to be somewhere. I forgot all about Mark’s wife. When I pulled out of the driveway, I remembered and looked back. She was still sitting in the Courtyard outside with her friend, but because I was busy (B – being U – under S – satans Y – yoke) I just kept going. About a quarter of a mile down the road, Holy Spirit just about knocked me over saying, ‘What are you doing – GO PRAY for her now!’
I immediately turned around and headed back to the shop, however, it was too late. They had left. I openly spoke out, ‘Okay Lord, I’m sorry I missed the opportunity, but if she comes back, I will IMMEDIATELY approach her and tell her what happened. Yep, that’s what happened.
A few days later she was walking in with another friend as I was leaving the shop. This time I immediately walked straight up to her, introduced myself and boldly told her what had happened and that it was no coincidence she was there. I needed to pray for her! I missed it a few days ago when she had come in, and now that she was here, I needed to pray for her and she knew what it was about. She was not only shocked, she began to tear up. She told me she was there the first time meeting with her friend because her mom had just got into a really bad car accident and was in critical condition at the hospital, and that she was still in the hospital in bad condition. I immediately said let’s pray now! I told Fio the manager of the coffee shop to join me, and we prayed. It was powerful and the presence of Holy Spirit was strong. Both she and her friend were taken aback. I believe it was the first time they ever experienced His presence in such a way. I told them what was happening and that her mom would be fine. We all hugged and said our goodbyes.
The story continues –
This morning she walked in with her husband (Mark) and I asked him if she had told him what had happened. He said no. I then explained everything and began to share / teach them about how and what living in Spirit and Truth meant, and about ushering in the Kingdom of Heaven, and about the three baptisms and much more. I also shared several powerful testimonies with them. They soaked it all in like sponges. They disclosed that Mark had just began learning about Jesus Christ and started reading the Book of Matthew. He thanked me deeply for spending time sharing the Word. We exchanged numbers and I’ll be disciplining them. It’s so amazing as the Lord is bringing in people almost every day. I’m sensing He’s building something very special and unique here at the shop. I’m so humble, grateful and excited for all the Lord is doing.

Surf Shop Testimony

This is ‘Angela’ and ‘Erik’. I met them as I was coming out of Chili’s Restaurant in California. They had a table set up outside the front entrance and were raising money to purchase goods for kids in need. They both are believers in Christ and go to a church. I told them that I would donate to their organization, but I also wanted to share the Gospel of the Kingdom and about the three baptisms. They were unsuspecting and kinda confused to say the least. I began to go through scripture with both of them. They knew about the scriptures and had heard them but were never given a deeper teaching and understanding of what they said / meant. They were absolutely astounded as the knowledge of the Word began to take fruit. As I spoke, Holy Spirit gave me ‘words of knowledge’ for each of them. I told them what Holy Spirit said – Angela was a single mother and at times struggled with finances and Erik was a leader. I had never met them. Angela was a single mom of three kids and Erik was the leader in the organization they were working for – BAM, spot on!
Again they were totally blown away!
While all this was happening, Holy Spirit drew in another young man (19 y/o) who was just as amazed as Angela and Erik were.
After spending about an hour with them, I asked if I could pray with them and we would ask the Lord to baptize them in Holy Spirit and fire. They adamantly said, ‘YES!’
I anointed them with oil and laid hands on them and prayed.
What happened next was epic! As I prayed, people were coming in and out of the restaurant watching and listening to everything – something you rarely see in So. California, especially at a public restaurant.
The power of the Lord came down.
Angela said she saw an explosion of light surround her.
Erik just about fell out, as I was holding him up, he just wept. He looked at me and grabbed me and gave me a huge hug and thanked me. I said it’s just Jesus bro – now go y’all are empowered to advance His Kingdom and Light into those dark places where those kids are enslaved. I told them to be ready because everything was about to change for them, but they had to keep their lamps full of oil and on fire for Yeshua. We took this picture and said our goodbyes.
Man, I love this life!

Surf Shop Testimony

On a portion of my trip to Fort Collins Colorado to visit my mom, she wanted to take me out of the city to a famous Cowboy Restaurant (about a thirty minute drive) called ‘Vern’s’. The restaurant has been there for decades.  As expected, the Lord had set up several Divine Appointments, one of which was ‘Bill’ (see pic).
Bill is a regular at the restaurant and owns ten acres out near the restaurant. As my mom and I were ordering food, Bill walked in to the restaurant very slowly. He definitely stood out, particularly because he was visibly struggling and moving very slowly. He couldn’t use his left hand and arm and he had a very difficult time, to say the least, to sit at the table to eat. I knew nothing about Bill, but immediately I knew I had to pray with him. I told my mom what I was going to do, and walked over to Bill and introduced myself. He spoke very slowly and said thank you that would be nice. The restaurant was pretty full and I laid hands on Bill and began praying. The presence of Holy Spirit was undeniable. I believe just about everyone in the restaurant knew that there was a supernatural presence in the room. I just spoke the words Holy Spirit gave me and when I was done, Bill looked up at me and said, ‘Thank you, that was very nice. I needed that.’ I went back to our table where my mom and I were eating. After Bill finished eating, I watched as he got up out of his chair and he seemed notably stronger. He then approached my mom and I and said, ‘I just wanted you to know that I had a stroke awhile ago and the words you spoke over me were spot on. Everything you said was so true’.
I didn’t even remember what I said. It was a special moment. We took this picture then Bill went outside and drove away – YES DROVE – in his old pickup truck.

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Cheyenne. I met her at the airport in Atlanta and it was NO coincidence- it was certainly a GODINCIDENCE – Holy Spirit orchestrated it all. It all began at the PCB airport. I was going through TSA and they kinda rush you through. I most always carry my cross (from Israel) and anointing oil in my pocket. I know it’s not necessary to use them. I use them as a ‘prophetic act’ to honor Yeshua – it’s just how Papa God has me ministering. It also opens up opportunities to talk with people about things in the Bible (Old and New Testament) that they never heard of, and allows a deeper understanding of the Word. Back to my story –
As was rushing to take stuff out of my pocket, my small bottle of oil flew out and broke on the floor – oh no 🙈! I looked up and said these exact words, ‘Okay Lord, I know I don’t need the oil, I only need you, but I know you allowed it to happen for a reason.’
FAST FWD to Atlanta airport – I had a three hour layover because our plane was stuck on the runway and I, as well as 18 others, didn’t make the next flight. I decided to walk around the terminal and happened (Holy Spirit is orchestrating it all) by a small shop with oils and things for health. I thought maybe they sell a small bottle of Frankincense and Myrrh like the one that broke in PCB?
I walked up and met Cheyenne and told her what I needed. She said most likely they had something like it or very similar. Yep – we found a small bottle similar to the one I broke in PCB, and it was an immunity booster used for healing! WOW 😮! However, it gets much better than this: As Cheyenne and her coworker were at the register finishing up the sale, I shared why I was getting the oil. I also began sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom – Cheyenne was a believer but her coworker wasn’t. Then loud and clear, Holy Spirit spoke ‘This all happened from beginning to end so you could pray for Cheyenne – she needed prayer 🙏 Tell her everything, and that I (Holy Spirit) brought you here to pray with her and that’s why you’re here.
You know me, I ALWAYS obey Him when He speaks, so I spoke and shared everything with Cheyenne (and her coworker). Cheyenne immediately said, ‘THAT’ CRAZY! I BELIEVE IT!’
I said no it’s not crazy, it’s just how the Lord does things if you’re listening.
She definitely needed prayer for a very serious situation involving someone she loved dearly – Suicide. We prayed. She wept as I anointed her with the oil and we held hands and prayed. The power 🔥of the Lord filled the shop – you could not deny His presence. There was also another customer there and I could clearly see she and the coworker knew something supernaturally powerful was taking place.
The Lord orchestrated every single thing from PCB breaking the oil, to missing the flight and staying in Atlanta, to walking around the terminal and to going to that exact spot (shop) at that exact time when Cheyenne was working! I didn’t mention she didn’t work the day before because of a very serious situation – the one she needed prayer for!
I got to spend some time with her coworker and plant some seeds and water them. She’s searching and Holy Spirit spoke through me giving her some nuggets of Truth to chew on.
God is SO absolutely amazingly good. He blows me away every single day I’m here on earth to continue to do whatever He wills.

Surf Shop Testimony

Emilio and Yesimar. They are visiting PCB for the Holiday Season and the Lord had a special gift for them as He led them to the shop. I was sitting on the Surfboard Bench and sensed that (Holy Spirit unction) I needed to share the Gospel of the Kingdom and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with them. As Barbara Toth played worship music on the keyboard preparing the soil, I spent about forty minutes plus, sharing and teaching them Truth from scripture planting the seed. As I did, they were completely still and overwhelmed by the presence of Holy Spirit. I stood them in the middle of the shop, we removed our shoes, I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil asking the Lord to baptize them in Holy Spirit – BAM 🔥🔥🔥 Power came upon them and they began to weep – bringing in the harvest. Their lives will never be the same, and I told them to be ready because when they would leave, they would leave on a whole new and HIGHER level with the Lord.
What’s awesome is that the shop and coffee shop were packed with people watching and couldn’t deny the presence of the Lord as it all happened. The atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife. We hugged and I told them, ‘Now GO – take what you received here back to your family, friends and community!
This is what we do and who we are; an EKKLESIA, a Kingdom Business and Marketplace Ministry, first and foremost to advance God’s Kingdom here and abroad.

Surf Shop Testimony

Sarah (daughter) and Patty (mom) They came to the shop the other day. I immediately approached them just after praying with another Divine Appointment for healing – that testimony is on our livestream on Instagram.
I knew the Lord sent Sarah and Patty in for prayer. What I didn’t know is what Sarah told me – she said she brought her father in a year ago (Patty’s husband) because he was developing Alzheimer’s. She said that at that time, her mom ‘Patty’ was fighting for her life because she had been in a severe car accident and was in the hospital. Her mom had to have several surgeries. They came in the other day for us to pray for Sarah, who was in SEVERE pain throughout her body because of all the surgeries. Robin (our employee) and I, sat them both on the Surfboard Prayer, we removed our shoes, I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil and we prayed for healing. Again, power came 🔥 upon them both. Holy Spirit revealed to me that Sarah also needed prayer. Again it was an amazing moment and you just had to be there to experience what happened.
They came in today to shop and let me know that her (Patty’s) pain had significantly decreased and she was so much better – Glory Hallelujah – all praise and honor to Yeshua Hamashiach!
Just wanted to share these testimonies with y’all and encourage you too to GO! Be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ of Nazareth – we are called to be His ambassadors on earth until He calls us home or He returns. The time is near!

Surf Shop Testimony

Mom comes in with her three daughters and purchases three sweatshirts (see picture). I see them and asked them if they knew who the ‘Giant Slayer’ was in the Bible that their t-shirts were referring to. The oldest one said, with a great big smile, ‘JESUS!’ I wasn’t expecting that, but actually she was correct and I told her so. Jesus slayed the greatest giant of all – ‘the devil himself!’ I then told the girls about David in the Bible and how he slayed the giant ‘Goliath’. I said, ‘Hey we’ve got an illustrated kids Bible and it’s actually got the picture of the scene. With that said, they, and their mom all followed me to the bookshelf where we sell our books. I pulled out the Bible opening it up (it’s about 3”inches thick) and it opened up right to the page of that particular story! (see picture)
Only GOD! We were all blown away!
I even tried to do the same thing after they left but couldn’t repeat it. I believe it was the was the Lord just giving us all a ‘Wink’ letting us know how awesomely amazing He is and how much He loves us.

Surf Shop Testimony

I began the day, as I do each morning, spending deep deep intimate time with the Lord filling up with ‘Oil’ to prepare for the day’s activities. As I arrived early at the shop, these three young, fine men (surfers) were sitting in the coffee shop waiting for the Surf Shop to open so they could get some wax. It was definitely a Divine Appointment. I opened up early so they could come in and they asked to go upstairs to look at boards also. When they came down to get wax, you know me, I immediately began sharing the Gospel of the Kingdom with them and several testimonies. They were completely captured and mesmerized – so hungry! I shared deep Kingdom principles and about the Five-fold ministry and power of Holy Spirit. They soaked it all in like sponges. I told them about us now establishing a Surf Church and ministry – Surf’s Up Global – here and the vision the Lord had given my wife and I. I asked them if they’d be interested in joining us in this endeavor and that we could all meet regularly for discipleship, and more. They were SO EXCITED, and said yes. I got their numbers and we’ll be getting together and others as well. I’ve been discipling more and more each week. God is building His Remnant army for ‘Such a Time as this!

Surf Shop Testimony

Holy Spirit WITHOUT a doubt led this family here. The lady in the white sweatshirt came into the shop early morning and was walking around. I sensed she needed prayer, so I approached her and introduced myself, told her Holy Sprit had highlighted her and I knew she needed prayer for something going on with her in her life. She told me she felt led to come here and felt the Lord’s presence. As she did she began to tear up and I knew there was a lot going on. I sat her on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, we removed our shoes, I covered her with my Talit and anointed her with oil. Holy Spirit came upon her and lifted all the weight she was holding onto – anxiety & stress. She immediately said I’m going to get my sister. She has cancer and that’s why were here on vacation for a get away. The whole family came in and I prayed for each one of them at the Prayer Bench and healing for her sister. I was powerful! They were all overwhelmed and tears flowed as Holy Spirit did His work. We all hugged and took this picture.

Surf Shop Testimony

Once again – not a coincidence but a GOD incidence that the Lord brought this family in to eat and shop. I immediately sensed that the dad needed pray for healing. I was busy at the time they came in and they went outside to order their food. They sat outside and I had forgotten about them – BUT GOD would do what He had brought them in to do! I saw the family getting into their car and were getting ready to leave, so I had thought I had messed up and missed the Divine Appointment. HOWEVER, the daughter was in the restroom inside the shop and when she came out, I immediately approached her and told her that I believed the Lord had brought them in. particularly for her dad for healing. She began to cry and I said we can pray now but it would be better if y’all could come back in so I can pray with your father and your family. She immediately said NO I will get them and she literally ran out to make sure they came back in. To make a long story short, we all gathered and I sat them on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, we all removed our shoes and I anointed each of them with oil. I came to find out that the father’s nervous system was being attacked by an unknown cause and getting worse. We all prayed for healing and the Lord also gave me prophetic words to speak over them. The power of the Lord came upon us. the temperature went up as the Fire of Holy Spirit fell and they all wept and wept as Holy Spirit did what He needed to do. The shop filled up with customers as the presence of the Lord drew them in and people watch and listened from a distance. All I can say is you just had to be there to see and experience what occurred.

God is SO AMAZING – 🔥 🔥🔥 This is Destanie – Holy Spirit led her to the shop this morning because it was her appointed time!

She came to be baptized in water but did not know there was so much more than just surrendering to the Lord and being baptized in water. I took the time to teach / show her in scripture about the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire. Destanie soaked in the Word as her eyes teared up. The presence of Holy Spirit was SO powerful when I sat Destanie on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, covered her with my Talit, anointed her with oil and asked the Lord to baptize her in Holy Spirit – WOW just WOW! The Lord even revealed to me that she had gone through some fierce battles but stood strong because He was preparing her for her future – for ‘Such A Time as this!’ I began to prophesy the word’s the Lord gave me over her and into her spirit. She wept and wept as prayed over her, and the shop filled up with people as they watched in the distance. You could not deny the power and presence of the LORD.  Afterwards, we went across the street and Destanie was baptized in water. As I prayed for Destanie back in the Surf Shop, the Lord had me speak the words that He was about to pour out a ‘Rain of Abundance’ in her life. As soon as she went into the water it began to rain! And stopped as she got out. We were both totally blown away – Divine Confirmation. God is so GOOD! 

Surf Shop Testimony

Testimonies keep coming everyday – read on:
I was blessed 😇 to have a visit from some very dear friends F Joseph Kelman Robin Kelman from just East of Tallahassee. The recent hurricane (Helene) had a significant effect on their property, as well as, two other storms in the past. They also needed prayer for their daughter who’s in Germany and going to have surgery. (all three in pc)
As I stood them in the middle of our shop, we removed our shoes, I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil. We prayed and the power of God and presence of Holy Spirit was so intense that both the coffee shop and surf shop filled up with people (most always happens when He’s powerfully present) who were watching and listening and couldn’t deny it was the Lord! They both wept and His (the Lord’s) Word and promises were released into the heavens. As I was praying there was a woman (Hannah) standing in the shop watching in amazement in the distance. Immediately, Holy Spirit highlighted her and I knew without a doubt she needed prayer also.
She (Hannah) finished purchasing her items and went into the coffee shop side. As I said my goodbyes to Joesph and Robin, I saw Hannah getting ready to leave and I said, ‘Lord, I know you brought her here and if she comes into the surf shop side, I will approach her and tell her she’s here for prayer also (I didn’t have a clue as to why – YET!)
Sure enough, she came straight in and I stopped her immediately. I said, ‘You’re here for prayer 🙏 also – Holy Spirit let me know. She just stared at me and I knew I was right. Not only did she need prayer for a difficult situation she’s facing, which through prophetic words the Lord let her know everything would work out in her favor, she also needed emotional healing , AND she received the ‘Baptism of Holy Spirit’ which she didn’t know about. She was a Christian and goes to church, but did not know. I find this in case of many Christians who the Lord leads here. She was literally frozen still in the center of the shop when the Spirit of the Lord filled her. I thought she would fall out and stood close by as she just stood there not moving for quite some time – weeping and weeping. It was AWESOME!
Then directly afterwards, there were three women listening and watching – a
Grandma, mom and daughter (see pic)
They were my next Divine Appointment! I’m telling you it sometimes gets CRAZY around here when Holy Spirit is moving and the Kingdom comes in – appointment one after another!
Again I prayed and prophesied the words that the Lord was downloading through me. Here’s the amazing thing, when I prophesied over the daughter (Chloe) who btw just started High School, I spoke that she would have the voice of a lion, and she would be very bold in speaking.  Her mom and grandma were weeping. Chloe is a speaker and debater at her school.!  And, she’s was about to go into a major debate concerning matters of Truth – the following week! I had no clue – only God. They were so blown away that they said can we take a picture with you and I said certainly!

Surf Shop Testimony

This mom came in last year with her husband and I prayed for them. The husband serves in the military and they are stationed in Germany. They were visiting this PCB week and came back to the shop. They just had little ‘Magnolia’ and when they brought her to me she had a severe skin condition and was covered in a rash, particularly her face, and doctors didn’t know the cause of the condition. I asked if I could pray over Magnolia and they said YES! I laid hands on her and asked YASHUA HAMASHIACH to heal her. WOW – Yashua is a Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness that is who HE is! YASHUA completely healed her and the skin condition vanished!

Surf Shop Testimony

This family is  from Tennessee. The mom contacted me about a water baptism in the Gulf for her and her teenage daughter. We set it up, however, as I ALWAYS do I have them meet me at the shop to go over scripture and teach / explain what baptism is and that there are three parts (just as in God there are three – Father, Son, Holy Spirit). You first believe (1), then have a water baptism (2) and then receive the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire (3) – only the Lord can do this. Over time the Lord has blessed me with the ability to explain it in a simple way that even a caveman can understand it (remember the commercials 😂) After the teaching, I ask them if they would like to be baptized by Holy Spirit – I also explain why John says, ‘Holy Spirit 🌊 and fire🔥 and why the fire. It NEVER ceases to amaze me to see them light up to finally understand what they heard and or read about for many years. We together then ask Father to baptize them in Holy Spirit and every time it happens! We must go through boxes of tissues every week for the people to use who come here. In this case both mom and daughter wept and wept as Holy Spirit came upon them. Now here’s where it gets really good! Mom wanted her husband to come in and join us to listen in, however he didn’t. As we were all getting ready to leave the shop to go to the beach, the dad / husband came in. As you can see in the picture, he’s a very BIG and strong man. He noticed that his wife and daughter crying. I could tell he was a tad uncomfortable, particularly after seeing me praying over them. I approached him and told him what had happened. Then I began to teach and explain everything at what had just happened with his wife and daughter. He (the dad)  was blown away because he had been going to church and churches for a long time and never had it explained to him in such a way. Both he and Amanda his wife no longer attend church. However, their daughter does but the church she attends doesn’t teach or believe in it. The dad had some questions for me and I answered them all according to scripture. I even gave him examples pertaining to life experiences. I then asked if I could pray for him and he said yes and as his wife and daughter watched, Holy Spirit came upon him also. His eyes were red and watery. It was awesome. I could tell he knew something powerful just had happened, but I also sensed he still wanted to know more. We went to the beach and I baptized the mom and daughter. People on the beach were rejoicing, clapping and singing hallelujah! One lady came over asking if she could hug them and she was crying. The whole family gave me a big hug and thanked me. I’ll be sending them scriptures and continue to teach them by text. I’m praying they find a Biblically based church, particularly a Five-fold ministry church and referred them to watch online Word Alive Outreach International. the church my wife and I are in apostolic alignment with. 

Praise Report – in keeping contact with the family, the dad said he felt different and was it was like the Word was new as he read it. He asked me if what had happened to his wife and daughter had happened to him when I prayed over him, laid hands on him and ask the Lord to fill him with His presence. He knew something happened because he felt it ( I remember he wanted to cry but held it back because he was embarrassed) . I said Yes Sir! I

I continue to keep in touch and disciple through messages. I’m sure they will be returning next season. 

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Sunnie. She was sitting in the coffee shop and the Lord clearly highlighted her, so I knew I needed to talk with her. Yep! – she needed prayer for a very important situation she was waiting to hear about and go through another finalizing process to see if it would work out the way she so much desired, but was also fearful about. I listened to her intently then waited to hear from Holy Spirit to release what the Lord revealed. As I spoke, Sunnie began to tear up and I said let’s go pray. We stood in the middle of the shop and I put my Talit around her, anointing her with oil and we removed our shoes. Once again, the Presence of the Lord was so powerful 🔥and Sunnie wept and wept. The shop began to fill up once again as He drew people in to witness it all. They had to walk around us because we were smack dab in the middle of the shop. The Lord gave me the words she needed to know to give her absolute peace, confidence and security AND fear was gone! What was so cool is she and her husband are here celebrating her birthday. She was SO ecstatic and said I’ve got to go out and tell my husband!
Thank you so much – this has been the best part of my birthday trip! We hugged and I went outside to meet her husband.
I’m telling you folks – it’s never a dull moment around here.

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Alma who came to visit me. She told me that she watched me livestream on Instagram and had asked for prayer about a tumor in her side. She had some symptoms and went to the doctor to find out what the cause was. That’s when they discovered the tumor. She said that I prayed and commanded the tumor to leave and for her to be healed in the name of Yeshua Hamashiach – Jesus Christ! She asked if I remembered and I did! And, I also remember that I asked all who were watching to come into agreement and pray with me. She said after that she went to the doctor and they couldn’t find a tumor! However, Alma told me she began to have symptoms again and went back and was told by one doctor the tumor was there and by another that they couldn’t find it? The Lord clearly spoke to me about the situation. I told Alma that I had just heard from the Lord and we needed to pray immediately. When we did, she was sitting on our Surfboard Prayer Bench and I put my Talit over her and anointed her with oil. We had our shoes removed. I began to pray, as I believe I knew exactly what the Lord was telling me about the situation. Literally – the FIRE 🔥 of Holy Spirit came upon us. Alma sweat so much that my Talit was wet. I even got hot 🥵and began to pray in the spirit. The shop filled up with customers as they watched and couldn’t deny the presence of Holy Spirit! Alma said her body was on fire and even after we were through for another hour or so she said her body was still on fire. I had to go home and wash my Talit.

Praise Report – she contacted me later and informed me that the doctors could find no tumor!

Surf Shop Testimony

Former Pastor from Maryland he encountered Christ direction as he was led to the Surf Shop today and was running by he wanted prayer for his family. His name is Steve
So Steve was jogging by and saw the sign for prayer and caught Nolan, Alexei and I getting ready to get into the truck to leave, so we all went inside to pray for Steve’s need and oh so rich. Steve had Pastored in Maryland for 30 years and left the minister for a career in Cyber Security. But God! Glory Hallelujah!!! All praise and honor to our Lord, Savior and King Jesus!

Surf Shop Testimony

Kadence, River, and Brooke – mom another POWERFUL Divine Appointment as we prayed and the Lord gave me prophetic words to speak over Brooke’s daughters and the whole family.
Praise Report: They also met me a year ago and I prayed with them and their friend. Brooke told me the words that the Lord had me prophesy over them all came to pass, and even the words the Lord gave me about their friend. I’m so grateful when the Lord blesses me with confirmations to keep me ‘running the race’ and ‘fighting the good fight’.

Surf Shop Testimony

Pic #1 Shelby (mom) with her husband Scotty and kids Luca & Eden
Pic #2 Shelby with her two friends Hope and Allison taken early Spring when they were here for a Bachelorette Party for Hope (see Spring 2024 Testimonial below)
Shelby brought her husband and kids (the May family) in to meet me and see the Surf Shop yesterday morning. She said it was the very first stop they had to come to because she wanted them all to experience the shop and have them meet me. They’re here for several days on a getaway. When they arrived, I didn’t quite remember Shelby but she stood out for some reason. I was praying for someone else at the time (another Divine Appointment). However, when they came in after having coffee and smoothie bowls, they approached me and said how much they loved this place and the presence of the Lord was so powerful! It was their first stop, and that’s when Shelby told me I had prayed with her and her friends early Spring. I remembered!
I found the Testimony of that visit and have posted it below – it was awesome!
I prayed and prophesied over the family and anointed them in the middle of the shop – a very anointed and powerful time – as customers watched and listened.
After her husband Scotty read the Spring Testimony, he sent me this message:
‘WOW! This is so beautiful in so many ways. To hear about it from Shelby then to meet you, every ounce of this has been such a blessing. You are doing exactly what we are put on earth to do, many of us fail to scream the name of Jesus so loudly in quiet rooms. But you followed His voice, His calling. I know He is so proud of you and you will be crowned in heaven as He says “good job my faithful servant” thank you for blessing us, thank you for letting our Father speak through you. Thank you from our entire family, we love you. – from Shelby, Scotty, Luca, & Eden May ❤️’
I thank the Lord each day because I know it’s ALL JESUS, and I’m so humbled an honored to be His ambassador on earth. I never ever know what to expect each day but I’m so thankful when He sends me reminders to KEEP RUNNING MY RACE and KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!
Here’s the Spring Testimony – pic #2
This is (L to R) Allison, Hope and Shelby from Nashville who are here for a Bachelorette party – ‘Hope’ will be getting married. They came in for coffee and while waiting did some shopping in the Surf Shop. Shelby said they had to come here because we love Jesus. She saw our sign and as soon as she walked in, she said the atmosphere was THICK with His (Yeshua) presence. I immediately asked her is there anything I can pray for you for, and she said certainly! I also said I’d like to pray and bless ‘Hope’ as she was about to begin a new life with her future husband. Their friend ‘Allison’ hadn’t come in to the shop yet. I began to take each one individually and put my Talit around them, had them remove their shoes, anointed them with oil, laid hands on them and prayed and prophesied over each one. The power of Holy Ghost came upon them both and they were wrecked, particularly, Shelby- it was VERY powerful. Then Allison came in. I didn’t know how much she had seen. I said, I would pray with her also and her girlfriends were all about it. However, I recognized hesitation and slight resistance on Allison’s part. Holy Spirit revealed to me that she did not fully believe in the Lord and questioned if God was real because she had been exposed to and hardened by religion (btw I’m finding that many people are in this stae of mind) I immediately let her know what Holy Spirit revealed. She and her friends were taken aback as to how I knew this because I had never met any of them before. I then began, led completely by Holy Spirit, to share the gospel of salvation and the gospel of the Kingdom and deeper things in scripture with Allison that she never heard. Her friends stood nearby watching in wonder and waited to see how their friend would take it in. Allison began to tear up, and I said let’s pray – with our shoes removed, I covered her with the Talit, anointed her with oil, laying hands on her, I prayed. I asked the Lord to empower her from above fill her with his Spirit and hold her in His arms so she knew He was real, specifically chose her to be His, and saturate her with His love. Allison lost it! She wept and wept and wept! She encountered Christ and was completely transformed. Her girlfriends were crying also. It was an absolutely beautiful scene. Just look at Allison’s face in the picture! (blond hair and grey shirt) You can see the pure joy of the Lord all over her! God is SO absolutely amazing and good!

Surf Shop Testimony

Testimony: (picture)Two kids (Luke and Channing) came in to look around. As I usually do I approached them, introduced myself and asked where they were from, what they were doing (ie school, work etc.) We talked about life and I asked them what their passions were and how they were pursuing them. Then I went right to sharing Jesus with them and how the Lord desired to use them with the passion He put inside them – their destiny. I began to share the deeper truths of His word and how it all pertained to all our lives but too many well intentioned believers – I was one – believed in Jesus but didn’t know what or how to live out the abundant life Jesus spoke about to bring forth the Kingdom of Heaven and God’s will into every aspect of our lives on earth. It was possible now!
– Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done here on earth as it is in heaven –
I spent much time with them teaching scripture and sharing testimonies of how it was absolutely true, and in Christ we have all authority (exousia) to exercise power (dunamis) in many ways. They were mesmerized and soaked in every word. I shared with them about being baptized – the complete baptisms of believing and receiving, water and Holy Spirit and fire. They went to church but never heard, or maybe just bits and pieces, and were amazed. After spending some time with them, I said let’s pray. I got my dear sister in Christ and powerful woman of God ‘Maryah’ to pray and prophesy over them. What happened next was RAD!
We laid hands on them both and asked the Lord to fill them with the Holy Spirit. As we prayed and prophesied it got hot. Luke – the young man began to sweat. Then ‘Channing’ the young girl said I’m getting hot, then said I can’t hear, then said I can’t see – what’s happening?!
She said I feel like I’m going to pass out. Maryah and I told her not to worry it was Holy Spirit and I grabbed the white stool that was behind her and immediately sat her down. She then said WOW! WOW – what the heck! We explained what happened and then she leaned into Maryah, hugged her and began weeping and weeping. Luke on the other hand said, ‘That was crazy! I’m so hot. I’m sweating!’
Mission accomplished. Another young couple brought in to receive the baptism of Holy Spirit. They are coming back, and I told them to bring their friends, particularly, at Spring Break (they both go to FSU) because we’re having some big event/s for the students here visiting PCB.

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

I ran into Sam and Brittany THIS MORNING WHILE OUT ON THE BEACH DOING OUR DAILY surf report.. The Lord connected me with them yesterday, and Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ and I taught them how to surf. They rented boards and were back out in the water today surfing. I knew the Lord had more in store and wanted me to minister to them because HE revealed to me yesterday that He wanted me to teach them and walk them through the steps (all according to scripture) about what the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire was. They are Christians and go to church but knew nothing about it and also knew nothing about the ‘Gospel of the Kingdom’.
SO – we stood on the beach, and I taught them as people and surfers watched and walked around us.
(Church on the beach- our mission for Surf’s Up Global)
After I was finished, I asked them if I could pray with them and they said yes! I even had my anointing oil on me. Right there on the sugar white sand, amongst the wind 🌬️ and the waves 🌊 , I anointed them with oil, laid hands on them and asked the Lord to baptize them in Holy Spirit – BAM 💥 the power of God came upon them! It was FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️ You should have seen their expressions – they were completely overwhelmed!  It never gets old. We sat and talked more and I gave them more information of how to continue on in their walk. The Lord has me doing this with more and more people as He sends them our way. This is the EKKLESIA – the church outside the four walls of the building!

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

I believe we have moved into, and will continue to do so exponentially, at an ‘elevated time’ of sensing Holy Spirit’s ability to communicate and guide us powerfully in the what I call ‘Challenging day’s’ ahead. This will be necessary for many reasons.
I also believe this heightened ability will require complete surrender, unashamed and bold faith no matter what cost, circumstance or hindrance we come up against.
Holy Spirit will lead us cautiously and clearly in promptings, and decisions. However, there are requirements: faithfulness, absolute trust, obedience, consistency and perseverance.
Here’s one circumstance that occurred with my wife, ‘Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️’ : Yesterday, she had a strong unction to call a girl, ‘Julie ’ she had met in Fall of 2023. We both ministered to her and her friend (Maria) and prayed for them (See the amazing testimony below).
My wife mentioned it to me but didn’t act upon the unction to call. HOWEVER – she prayed for her which was no coincidence but a GODINCIDENCE!
Again this morning she had the same unction, but this time she called her to see how she was doing because she knew she was due to have a baby about mid September. However, she had the baby, AND, it was yesterday when Mommy Surf (Lib) 🏄‍♀️ had first felt the unction and prayed! Now do you see what I mean! When Lib called her today, Julie said ‘WOW!, I can’t believe you just called! It definitely was a GODINCIDENCE, and Julie asked us to pray because the baby had a small thing going on that they were needing prayer prayer for.
Here’s the Fall 2023 Testimony:
Fall 2023
So yesterday my wife (Mommy Surf ) and I (Daddy Surf ) came into the shop early to organize inventory.
I hardly ever come in with her early because I’m usually doing my ‘Quiet Time’ with the Lord. However, she asked if I could help get some of the inventory out because it would be a busy day – Lord had other plans.
As we worked, the surf shop was closed so nobody was there. However, the moment the coffee shop opened, two young ladies came in. I saw them, and just for a moment I sensed Holy Spirit had brought them in but I brushed it off and continued to work. The Surf Shop side – our door / entrance to the shop was closed. I went to the back of the shop to store a skimboard and accidentally (a GODINCIDENCE) left the doorway open to the surf shop. When I came back Fi (Coffee Shop manager) said two girls had just gone in to the surf shop. When I looked in, these two young ladies (Maria – in pink & Julie) were waiting and my wife said they needed prayer. So much happened and I’ll try to make this as short as possible.
Julie said they got up early to walk and felt led by Holy Spirit to walk by the shop. They saw our sign which says ‘COME IN 4 PRAYER’.
They needed prayers. Mommy Surf was going to leave but Holy Spirit very strongly impressed upon her heart to stay. We sat them both at the ‘Surfboard Prayer Bench’ where we all removed our sandals, I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil – all as a symbolic gesture to honor and point to our Lord and Savior Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ). The presence of Holy Spirit was so heavy the temperature began to rise! They both needed so much healing and deliverance from a lot of things that were weighing them down. They wept and wept and wept as Holy Spirit touched them both filling them and healing them. What’s remarkable is that when we were all praying, the words Holy Spirit had me speak over them both, all of a sudden came out overhead on a song playing on our sound system! Sometimes this happens as God is confirming what is being spoken / prophesied. They were both totally blown away and we all laughed with joy – it was so beautiful – CONFIRMATION!
When we were done, they both started to head out but my wife came up to me and said, ‘Holy Spirit just told me that Maria needs to surrender her life to Christ’. I thought that they both knew Jesus because Julie talked about how she had surrendered her life to Christ but had drifted from her walk and was feeling convicted. (That’s another part of this story), so I went over to Maria and asked her if she knew Jesus? She said no and didn’t know what that meant? I said do you want to surrender your life to Him – she immediately and ADAMANTLY said YES! YES! YES! Again, we all sat at the Prayer Bench and my wife was humbled and honored to lead Julie to Christ as surrendered her life completely to Him and was baptized in the Holy Spirit! It was AWESOME!
I explained everything to her slowly and showed her in scripture everything I spoke about. We also gave them both very nice study Bibles (part of our ministry) signing them and writing out an outline where to begin – very important.
I told Maria if she wanted to she could come back later and we would be honored to baptize her in the Gulf. Her eyes popped wide open and she blurted out, ‘I want to do it now!’ – so it was done! However, the story doesn’t end here. It was very early so nobody was on the beach, except there was an older gentleman, (we discovered later he was a prophet of the Lord) with a long white beard, sitting all by himself in a chair – keep in mind this is very early in the morning – watching us. He approached us afterwards and prayed and prophesied over Maria – so powerful. He told me that Holy Spirit spoke to him to go down to the beach and sit and said he was to stay there and that the Lord was going to send someone down for him to pray over! You can’t make this stuff up!

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

Folks just keep coming in either stopping in for a visit or being sent by others, or as in the case of ‘Dave’ (with me in the first pic) Holy Spirit leads them here without a doubt! Testimony: This is Dave who Holy Spirit brought to the shop yesterday morning. He took an Uber because he thought Finn’s was open and was going to get a meal. However they were closed, but we had opened up for a few hours to receive a shipment of goods. I was about to do a Livestream when he walked into the shop. I immediately knew he was on the streets, well sort of because he lives in his broken down van and can’t get a job because of his disabilities. I had to stop the livestream and attend to Dave because I knew he was a Divine Appointment. We talked about a lot of things and I wanted to hear his story. Dave’s definitely not on drugs or alcohol, he’s just in a hard situation. I encouraged him. I told him that just because he couldn’t get a job, there were people out there that could use a little work and willing to pay cash – btw – I had some work to do outside if he was willing to come back and work with Robin (our employee) cleaning up the property outside. He literally told me if I could really use him it would mean a lot just to work. I introduced him to Robin and Dave made a commitment to come in first thing the next morning. I helped him out so he could get a meal later on and left it at that.
Well first thing this morning Dave showed up to work and help Robin out. Here’s the amazing thing – Dave apologized because he had to wait for the bus to get here and was a little late. He worked well and he’ll come back again tomorrow because I have one more job for him. I’m also connecting him with a friend who knows people who can use a little work and help Dave out to help him get back on his feet. The reason I’m posting this is there are people out there who just want money for another drug or drink. Then there’s people out there like Dave who are in a situation that can’t be on a payroll but want to work. Yes, Dave does get a small disability check from the government. However, he also wants to be able to help out for a little more (his check is VERY SMALL) to get by with the hard times we are in. Take time to find out people’s story before putting a label on them. You never know when you have helped out an angel – they are very real because I’ve encountered a few – that’s another story.
Now here’s the AMAZING part of this story:
I told my wife about Dave. She said, ‘Wait a minute. Does he live in a broken down van behind a building!’ I said yes. She said several weeks ago when she was riding her bike she saw him and Holy Spirit told her to put a twenty dollar bill in her pocket, so that next time she rode her bike, if he (Dave) was still there, to give it to him. Sure enough he was there and she did. She never told Dave who she was. She stopped and said this is yours. Dave asked her why? She said because I want to bless you. This is several miles from our shop! Holy Spirit ended up bringing him in yesterday, so I could bless him. I did not know my wife had also! It’s truly amazing how our incredible God works.
Related Scriptures for this evening:
Matthew 25:35-37
‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
Matthew 10:29-31
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

As expected the Lord sent in several Divine Appointments. These are just a few of the people who Holy Spirit in for baptism of Holy Spirit, healing and to receive prophetic words. We never know what to expect, so we’re always ready to expect the unexpected and live naturally in the supernatural. Just know this – God is doing a NEW thing. Keep your eyes fixed on Yeshua. Don’t look to the left or to the right. He alone is the Author and Finisher of our faith. He goes before us, His glory is our rear guard and He hems us in on every side. We have NOTHING to fear! We fight from a place of ABSOLUTE victory and are absolutely free in Him!

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

We are a Kingdom Business and Marketplace ministers. We applied and received recognition from the IRS as a “CHURCH’  – Surf’s Up Global is the name of our church which is a church outside the four walls and we have NO paid staff. The moment we open our doors – it’s Church as the Lord brings in folks from all over and all kinds of life. We minister, pray, teach, baptize and do whatever He (Holy Spirit) leads us to do.  Yesterday the Lord sent in a young couple whose parents live here. They were visiting from Texas and the young man was buying one of our books called, ‘Acts 29 The Church has left the Building’ by Johnny Taylor who’s a dear friend and brother in Christ of ours. I approached him and began a conversation. I said, ‘You know there’s no Acts 29.’ He looked at me curiously and said really? I said yes we are still in the Book of Acts – ‘The Church Age’. That began our conversation as I spent over an hour discipling both he and his wife. What’s crazy is that I didn’t know another customer (she) was standing nearby listening. She purchased her things and left. HOWEVER, she came back in the shop after leaving and said, ‘I don’t mean to interrupt, but I couldn’t help but hear y’all and I just had to come back in. I want to tell you that this man is speaking TRUTH! Listen to what he says. Holy Spirit turned me around to come in and tell you that!’

I said ‘wow Thank you’. The two I was ministering to were also surprised. After we spoke, I asked if they wanted to receive the baptism and they said, YES!!! I took them to our Surfboard Prayer Bench and did what the Lord has me do. They both received the baptism of Holy Spirit, they both wept and wept. Afterwards they thanked me and we all hugged. They have been going to church for years and knew nothing about all of this. They said will CERTAINLY be visiting each time they come back to PCB which is often. The Lord is sending in more and more people like this, and many who also need healing and deliverance.

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

This is Brad & Loren from Savanah Georgia. They were here celebrating their 32 year anniversary. They were my Divine Appointment immediately after my wife🏄‍♀️ and I 🏄‍♂️ had a Surf Lesson (see pics: Roman & Lilly). I walked into the Coffee Shop and set up my Bible and books to do some reading. They watched me set up and Loren said, ‘That’s a good book you got there!’ I said I know and that’s how we met and began our conversation.
They are both strong believers and we talked all about Jesus. Then I began to share with them how the Lord was using the shop and us to minister, baptize and so much more serving Him every day we were open. I shared testimonies and prophetic things, all pertaining to scripture, which they hadn’t heard.
We must have talked for almost an hour and then we prayed – BAM – only God.
I began to speak scriptures and the words the Lord gave me over them. As I had my eyes closed I had a vision and told them what I saw:
A HUGE OAK TREE with large branches and smaller branches. It represented their family. They were the main part (trunk) their kids were the branches and their grandchildren were the smaller branches. However, in the vision the tree was full / plush with green leaves. I prophesied favor and blessings and the said, ‘It’ll be like a Goshen anointing – You’ll be in the land of Goshen!’ When all was said and done, Loren’s eyes were wide open and she said, ‘WOW – two things! We have a HUGE Oak Tree in our backyard. It’s absolutely beautiful! We don’t know how old it is, AND two, we live on ‘Goshen Road!’ Wow just wow – only God!
However, He (the Lord) wasn’t done!
I hadn’t noticed that Brad had a brace on his knee, so when I saw it I said we’re not finished. You’re here to be healed! So we all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench to pray but there was something else they needed prayer for – it was their son who just had gone through treatment for c… (don’t like to speak the word). I did what the Lord has me do at the bench and we prayed. It was powerful and like I’ve mentioned before the shop fills up with customers as Holy Spirit draws them in.
I shared scripture with them for their son, and Loren began to weep because it was meant to be shared and she knew it certainly pertained to the situation.
I prayed for healing for Brad’s knee. Yeshua FINISHED it all right there and then! What a powerful time – we had Raw and Real CHURCH in the Surf Shop!
We all hugged, exchanged information and took a picture.
Another absolutely beautifully blessed 😇 and amazing day in Panama City Beach and at the shop.

SURF SHOP TESTIMONY

This is Tiah Tyler who contacted us and wanted to be baptized in the Gulf. As what MOST ALWAYS occurs, it’s not just about the baptism. Many times I’ve seen people bring in family members and or friends and they end up being Divine Appointments for salvation, healing and or deliverance. As in this case ‘Tiah’ needed a fresh touch from Holy Spirit and healing. We met in the shop early this morning and as I always do, I prayed for her, our shoes removed, my Talit over her and anointed her with oil. The presence of the Lord was so strong. All I can say is you had to be there when Yeshua put His arms around Tiah and held her – POWERFUL! 🔥🔥🔥
The Lord knew she needed to come here to be baptized – there was more. She needed healing and deliverance. It was done in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiak
We went across the street where she dedicated her life to the Lord was baptized and now she begins a whole new beautiful and glorious journey with Him.
Our God is SO absolutely good and amazing!

Surf Shop Testimony

this is James (Jimmy) & Heather Heather Coley They’ve been coming to the shop for quite some time. They’re family has a house behind the shop on the lagoon. They were raised and baptized in the Mormon Church (a false doctrine) I didn’t know anything about their background. Every time they would come to the shop, we would talk and I would share deep things in scripture, much of which they didn’t know. They told me they even came in one day sometime ago while I was praying for a person, and they witnessed a manifestation of an unclean spirit. I was rebuking and casting it out in Yeshua’s Name. Heather said when she saw it, she felt an unction to come over and pray but didn’t because she didn’t know how I would receive that, so they watched momentarily from a distance and left. I told her that was Holy Spirit nudging her and she could’ve came over and stood and come into agreement as I was praying. The Lord was preparing her – later she would find out why.
Fast forward to this weekend –
James and Heather brought their son in and his newly wed wife who they had told me about in our early conversations while coming to the shop. They always wanted me to meet them – finally it happened last Sunday. We all spoke for some time and as I sensed to share with them some things in scripture. As I did , I told them I believe I was hearing a word from the Lord about the young couple. I smiled and said I know y’all, referring to James and Heather, will really like what I’m hearing and y’all (referring to the young couple) might be surprised, but I believe I’m hearing ‘Child / children’. What’s so amazing is that when Holy Spirit released that ‘word’, I later found out from Heather and James it broke a ‘spirit of fear’ off of their daughter in-law about having children! Wow just WOW – God works in such mysterious and miraculous ways!
We all prayed and it was a very powerful time.
Then this – I received a text message the next (Monday) evening from Heather asking if I could come in early Tuesday morning for baptism. She and her husband, James, wanted to receive the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire (I had explained it in detail to them recently) and wanted to rededicate their lives and be baptized in the Gulf (see pics). They were baptized in water in the Mormon Church – I said I understand, AND I would be honored. We all met first thing in the morning before the shop was open. We went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed our shoes and I anointed them with oil. My employee Robin Caton assisted me. We laid hands on them and asked the Lord to baptize them with the Holy Spirit and fire – BOOM 💥 – the Spirit and Power of God came upon them. Immediately, Heather began praying fluently in her spirit language as she wept and wept and kept praying in the spirit. James was a little more mellow but it came. The encounter totally transformed them. Right afterward we went across the street where I was humbled and honored to baptize them in water! What a morning it was and what an awesome way to begin the day!

Surf Shop Testimony

‘Clark and LaJuan’ came all the way from Waco Texas. Literally Clark said Holy Spirit turned their car South when they were in Tallahassee and led them here to the shop! I’m not at will to disclose why they came for prayer. However, it was without a doubt a ‘Divine Appointment’. I was at home and felt a strong unction from Holy Spirit that I needed to go to the shop because He would have an appointment for me. I arrived just at the time they walked in! To make a long story short, we all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench and I did what the Lord has me do. As we prayed the power of God came upon us so strong, LaJuan wept and wept, as well as Clark. Clark bent completely over almost to the ground breathing heavily as Holy Spirit healed him and he was solid sweat – it was an air conditioning building – he was the only one covered in sweat. Yeshua healed him and set him absolutely free all done in the Mighty Most Powerful and Precious Name of Yeshua! That was it! That was my only appointment for today. We took the picture and said our goodbyes.

Surf Shop Testimony

This young lady, she said she had to come back (she was here on vacation with a friend) and visit because of the presence Holy Spirit to have coffee one more time and shop. In our conversation, I came to find out she’s about to be married, so I said I’d love to pray with her and bless her future marriage. As we prayed, the Lord gave me a word that as she and her husband were joined as one, they would become (and their future children and children’s children) a ‘Bright Light’ like a city on a hill shining for the Lord! She smiled, and what was crazy, showed me the tattoo on her wrist about ‘Being the Light!’ and even more amazing turned the sweatshirt she was purchasing which said, ‘Be the Light!’ I didn’t even know it. God just does things like this throughout the day every day of the week that we’re open.

Surf Shop Testimony

(R-L Me, Andi, Sandra (her mom) and Andi’s daughter / 3 generations)
Andi came in to be baptized, and as what I commonly do is I invite the family to come in for prayer and to go over scripture about not just water baptism but also the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire and why the fire and what all of that means.
When I do this, most every time it’s much more than a baptism AND much more occurs as was in this case. I had just got through ministering to a family when Andi came in with her family. (it was like this all day long – Divine Appointment one after another from the moment I came in until leaving)
I immediately recognized / Holy Spirit revealed A LOT about her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend (Tyler) and also the niece. We all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, and I spoke hard but loving TRUTH. I was forward and open about what the Lord revealed which they were all in awe. I knew Andi’s daughter needed a fresh refilling / emotional healing. She teared up and agreed. I looked at Tyler and asked how his relationship was with Yeshua, but also told him I already knew he didn’t believe. I was correct. I shared with him that Holy Spirit revealed it to me the moment I saw him standing in the coffee shop – that in itself caught his attention! I told Tyler it was okay because Yeshua wanted us ’ice cold’ like he was or ‘on fire/hot’ like I was. He said (Yeshua) the ‘Lukewarm’ He would spew them out of His mouth! We all talked at length and I spent almost :45 minutes sharing scripture and things they heard about but didn’t understand. Sandra (grandma), Andi, (mom) and Andi’s daughter all sat on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, we removed our shoes, I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil and I began to pray and prophesy the words gave me to speak over each one. Tyler, the niece and her friend stood by and watched. I asked the Lord to baptize everyone there with the Holy Spirit, but I was l laying hands on the three on the bench. The power of the Lord came upon us. And as usually happens, people began to fill the shop, standing in the distance watching and listening. Nobody could deny the heavy heavy presence of the Lord! I could tell it even had an impact on Tyler and the niece who weren’t believers – yet!
Andi began weeping deeply while her daughter and mother teared up. It was amazing, beautiful and powerful. I know Andi will be praying in her spirit language, if not later today, very soon – the Lord revealed it to me. I talked with her about this, particularly because she counsels troubled teens. She told me that in just the short time she was there, she learned more and received more than all her years going to church. I asked Andi why she came to me to be baptized. She said that she had a friend who’s daughter came to the shop often, and I prayed for her a long time ago and that from that time forward she blossomed into an incredible daughter of God.
I give ALL THE CREDIT to my Lord, Savior and King Yeshua. He drew me out of the muck and mire. I was so lost and He completely transformed my life! It’s been a long haul and I’m still running this race but running after Him with ALL my heart, mind, soul and strength. All the work that is being done is because I died many many years ago and came to life in Him. He abides in me and I abide in Him.
We all went across to the Gulf where Andi was baptized in water 💦 to ‘seal the deal’. When she came up, Andi wept and wept and literally collapsed in my arms (pic #3) One of the most powerful baptisms I’ve done, and I’ve done quite many. The beach was fairly crowded and people were clapping and taking pictures. It was simply awesome!

Surf Shop Testimony

First Pic: This is Ricky and his wife. As you can tell they are dedicated ‘Bull Dog’ fans. The moment they stepped into the shop, I clearly knew Holy Spirit brought them in for prayer. They went to the counter and said to Camryn Flottmann , our employee. that they were there to receive prayer.
I was already standing behind them and told them that I already knew it the moment they walked in. Holy Spirit had already revealed it to me. As soon as I told them, Ricky’s wife began to cry and I mean CRY 😭! I’m not at will to disclose what was going on with them but I will share this: When I took them to the Surfboard Prayer Bench and do what the Lord has me normally do, it was POWERFUL 🔥🔥🔥! Again, the shop filled up with people, watching and encountering Him at work.
AND, not to my knowing, there was a couple (NEXT TESTIMONY) standing nearby watching and listening as the Lord had me speak comfort and release healing. When we were done, we all hugged, talked some college football, took pictures and said our goodbyes. – on to next Testimony.
Picture #2 (Pastors Autry & Angie from LAGRANGE GEORGIA who pastor FREEDOM HOUSE) They patiently waited until I was through praying and ministering to Ricky and his wife. They immediately approached me afterwards and asked if I would pray for them. They are spirit-filled, Fivefold ministry, and baptized in not only the Holy Spirit but fire 🔥 as well. For those of you who know what I’m talking about – you know! I asked them why they needed prayer? Literally, this is what Pastor Angie said – ‘When you were praying for that couple, there was a Huge Angel standing over you!’ I knew that you had to pray for us. Her comment caught me way off guard and I said, ‘You really saw that!?’ She said yes sir! With that said, I sat them on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed their shoes, covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil and prayed. WOW! The Lord had me release a strong word and prophesy over them both and what He was about to do! Angie was praying in the spirit and weeping deeply. Pastor Autry basically was out! We exchanged information, and what was crazy is that they knew and were connected to a lot people in our (Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ and I 🏄‍♂️) circle of spiritual family – a GODINCIDENCE!

Surf Shop Testimony

This couple came in (they just moved to the area) and the wife said that the moment she stepped in she felt the Lord’s presence. As I talked with her and her husband, her husband just began to cry and cry heavily!
I believe it was maybe the first time he encountered Holy Spirit in such a way. I did my best to comfort him and tell him what was happening and why. His wife on the other hand knew exactly why he was crying. To make a long story short, I was honored to pray with them. He thanked me and said he needed it. They said that they were DEFINITELY coming back. This is just one of hundreds of encounters that occur throughout the week, particularly during our busy season.

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Paul and his daughter and granddaughter (three generations) In a nutshell, here’s the story about Paul. Holy Spirit highlighted Paul as he was sitting in the coffee shop, so I took a mental note of that and held on to it as I was doing business around the shop. When I sat on the couch in the coffee shop to begin a study in the Word, I noticed Paul stand up and walk towards his granddaughter on the other side of the table and he had a severe limp. BAM! – I IMMEDIATELY KNEW then why Holy Spirit highlighted him! The Lord had brought him in for prayer. I’m always obedient and went directly over to Paul and introduced myself and asked what had happened to him. He told me he had a stroke. I then told him, we’ll guess what brother, I know without a doubt you’ll be fully recovered because before you stood up, Holy Spirit highlighted you and I knew you were brought in to be prayed for! And that this house – the shop – was a house of healing.
I told Paul all about what the Lord was doing here and what I believed and why. Paul just stood there soaking up every word, tears coming out his eyes. Then he looked at me and said, you’re absolutely right! I wasn’t supposed to come here, but felt led to come to this particular coffee shop have coffee and breakfast. We all, his daughter and granddaughter also, went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench and prayed. It was POWERFUL! Paul wept as Yeshua held him and did His work. Immediately afterwards, Paul stood up and gave me the biggest bear hug. Paul is quite a strong man, and said you don’t know how much I needed this! I said, well the Lord certainly did and that’s why He brought you in! Paul fully agreed and knew it was absolute truth. He shared that he’s in a small Men’s Group (mighty men of faith) that meets regularly and couldn’t wait to tell them what happened.
I’ll be seeing Paul again because his daughter and granddaughter live here (Paul’s from Texas). Although, the complete healing didn’t take place right at that moment (a miracle) I know, as well as Paul, that when he comes back, Paul will be much stronger and well on his way to complete healing if not healed completely already. We both were in agreement because it’s what the Word (Yeshua) had me speak!

Surf Shop Testimony

Kishma. She’s a strong woman of God. As I was at the counter gathering my things, she walked up to me and said, ‘You’re the owner! Correct?’. I said that my wife and I were blessed 😇 to be the ‘stewards’ and the Lord owned the business. She smiled and said, ‘You prayed with me a year ago and the Lord had me come in because it’s our last day here. I was going to get some coffee first, however, He told me (the Lord) to first talk with you because you were getting ready to leave! I said, ‘Wow, you’re right because I was just about to head out the door and head home. I’ve been praying for people all day and I’m about spent!’
She said this won’t take long, but I assured her not to worry because we both knew Holy Spirit brought her in at that exact moment. We talked about what was going on and as we did I was listening to what the Lord was saying. I heard Him give me a word about her and what He needed to do / what she needed. She hadn’t mentioned anything about it. Then she told me that she follows our social media and knows that I hear God’s voice. I told her that He’s always speaking to us and it’s really not a special thing – all we have to do is listen with our heart’s ears. Then I told her I already knew why she was here and began to disclose what the Lord was revealing about her, her life and situation – BINGO! – Spot On! I’m not going to say what it was all about because it’s private but here’s what happened: We both prayed in the middle of the shop while shoppers were coming in and walking around us watching and listening. BAM – the POWER and PRESENCE of the Spirit of the Lord came upon us. Every single person around us knew it was real and couldn’t deny it had to be of God. When all was said and done, Kishma said she felt very light, like she was on clouds. Holy Spirit did His work. We hugged, took a picture and said our goodbyes. She’ll come back next year again with her family. Btw – the Lord also gave me a word about her occupation / business. I can’t wait to hear about it!

Surf Shop Testimony

Hallelujah two more for the Kingdom of God! All of heaven is rejoicing! We give all praise, glory and honor to our Lord and Savior King Yashua!
This is Michael and Misty Irwin from Illinois here on vacation. I was humbled and honored to baptize them in the emerald blue green Gulf waters. Before I baptized them, we spoke at length in the Surf Shop and the Lord gave me some powerful prophetic words to speak over each of them. Misty got chill bumps as the words the Lord gave me were the same words she prays every morning. I’ve been spending much more time in the ‘Secret Place’, so I’ve laid low this past week.

Surf Shop Testimony

I had someone send a very good question, and I realized that he most likely wasn’t the only one who questioned what’s going on here at the shop, so I’ve posted this today to clarify the best I can to answer. A little long but worth it:
Message I received:
Hello – I am one of ur customers . I love your shop. And I love that you are spreading the Gospel there. I want u to know this isn’t an attempt to correct u just seriously intrigued and want to know a bit more?
I do struggle with the healings at your shop that are posted on FB.
I work in healthcare and have heard horror stories of people dying from medically curable diseases. These people were cured by a Preacher and eventually died because they cancelled treatment.
My question is can you do or have you done follow up interviews with the people healed in your shop. As in proof of cancer being healed or taken away. Again not trying to be negative. I definitely believe God heals people and sometimes uses men and women of faith to carry it out. But I also think He has uses science and medicine to help people. Thank you for ur time
My Response:
Thank you for your question. It’s a very good one. Btw – only Yeshua deserves ALL credit for the Testimonies I share.
The answer to your question is – yes and no.
I pray for (and not just myself but some others on our team) for literally hundreds of people throughout the year, and many times it’s not just for healing. I would say most of the people we pray for and have seen undeniable evidence of healings (spiritually, emotionally and physically) are attributed to the authority of the Yashua (Jesus Christ). Also understand not all that’s happened and or happening is posted. We can’t keep up with the numbers. However, I try to record and post as many as I can and have them in file to hopefully write a book which I’ll most likely call – ‘Testimonies from the Surf Shop’
Since I have a lot of testimonies documented, it’ll be easier to copy and paste when that time comes.
About the healings:
Like I said. I only post a fraction of what goes on throughout the week – six days a week sometimes eight hours a day. Yes, and not every person I / we pray for is healed, AND yes, sometimes they are absolutely healed with medical evidence, however, they don’t remain in the healing first experienced. I don’t question the Lord but I do ask Him and He still hasn’t given me a complete answer. He has though, revealed much to me throughout the years.
I do remain in contact with many of the people who were touched by the Lord and healed. Many are good friends and visit each year. Some like Hillary who was very sick and treated for years and years and was completely healed in an instant when we prayed.
Hillary shares her testimony at churches and with many people she meets wherever God puts her. Her mom ‘Lesia’ has become one of my Prayer Warriors who prays over our ministry everyday.
Jason who had terminally ill cancer, shares his testimony to many people. I’m actually invited his church and going there this Fall to speak and pray with people.
I could go on and on with the people who I keep in contact with.
There has been people where the healing just stopped the cancer from progressing – medical evidence – but continue with ongoing treatment and are now completely cancer free. Some people who were diagnosed with terminal cancer are still alive today and cancer free.
Again, like I said some aren’t healed at all and some don’t stay in the healing. I don’t question the Lord. I just do what He’s called me to do and this is the ‘Lane’ – the Surf Shop – He has my wife and I in.
We’ve also seen many set free from depression, anxiety and more.
AND, If you’ve ever been in the shop when a deliverance of an unclean spirit / demon is manifesting, you will definitely know it’s real as the words you’re reading in this message. Our customers witness it and without a doubt no it’s REAL! We don’t hide anything or sweep anything under the rug – Yeshua never did, neither did the apostles or the early church. They walked in power and authority as Yeshua commanded all of us to. (Read scriptures)
I NEVER encourage people to not follow up with medical treatment. Actually, if you’ve ever seen some of my live posts, I do mention that we need people in medical profession because there are times when medical treatment is necessary.
It’s also important to know that I / we here at the shop are not the only ones who has this happening. There are many other places and people.
Check out ‘Sean Feucht’ and what he and his team are doing all over America or Mario Marillo (just a few to mention) – so MUCH MORE and on a MUCH LARGER SCALE.
I share the testimonies to encourage people and give them hope. As in scripture it tells us to do, ‘Be Bold!’ ‘Be Courageous!’ Share the Gospel of the Kingdom – that’s what we see happening. I also believe that every time I share a testimony, we are beating the enemy (devil) down because the Bible says in Revelation 12:11 “And they have defeated him (the enemy / satan) by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.”
I DEFINITELY don’t understand everything – His ways are so much greater than mine – so I don’t question Him. I’m just doing what He has called me to do, believing, speaking and spreading His Word (Yashua) The greatest joy is seeing folks receiving the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire (Matthew 3:11) and then baptizing them in water which has been many, and some even receiving their ‘prayer language (Tounges – it’s absolutely REAL! )
Btw – I was healed myself many years ago. I had a completely torn rotator’s cuff. I had to have surgery.
I was called out at a men’s conference and was prayed over. I felt the power of God come upon me and was knocked out! When I got my composure, my shoulder was completely healed! I never needed surgery – X-ray showed it and doctors couldn’t explain it. There’s not one person that can tell me it didn’t happen and or wasn’t real – a Testament to healing power of Yeshua Hamashiach. That’s why I know it’s real. I am still good to this day.
There’s much more I could share but it would take too much time. If you ever want to sit and chat you know where you can find me. All I’m doing is trusting, obeying and being available to be used by my Lord however and whenever He decides.
Our Lord Yeshua, King of kings and Lord of lords is the MOST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Person. If only we could fully comprehend how much He loves us. I actually was thinking about this this morning. How can someone refuse Jesus – if they only knew. As I was in deep thought, I just wept and wept. I want to introduce Him to EVERYONE and we’re so humbled and honored to have a place where we can freely do so. Hope this helps with your ‘intrigue’ Drop in and we’ll have a coffee and chat more. Be blessed 😇 – John

Surf Shop Testimony

PRAISE REPORT: The twins and Ella in picture: I prayed over them the other day on the Surfboard Prayer Bench and they all received the baptism of Holy Spirit 🌬️and fire 🔥. The twins told me they felt like electricity was going through their bodies and were tingling all over. It was much more powerful with Ella and guess what? This morning she went out to the beach real early and said as she was praying and all of a sudden she began praying in her spirit language! (praying in Tounges) She was so excited and overwhelmed! She told me that she knew that the Lord had sent her here. She’s very involved in her youth program back home at her church. I said get ready girl – God’s about to use you and take you to a whole new level! 🔥

Surf Shop Testimony

This is Leslie and Boyd here on vacation and without a doubt Holy Spirit brought them in. Holy Spirit spoke loud and clear as I saw our employee, Robin talking and sharing things with Leslie. I immediately knew she needed prayer for healing (spiritually and emotionally). To make a long story short, lots of strongholds were broken off, her identity and confidence restored AND she received the baptism of Holy Spirit. She is a Christian and didn’t, as many do, know anything about it. After helping her to understand what it was and why it was so important and that He (Holy Spirit) would empower her to overcome her struggles. We prayed in the middle of the shop as the shop began to fill up with people, as most always happens, and the power of Holy Spirit came upon her. She looked up at me with her eyes wide open and tears coming out and said, ‘I felt like I was standing on the ocean and waves were moving all around me and under my feet.’ We talked some then she mentioned that Boyd had cancer and was about to begin receiving chemotherapy – BOOM💥 – now I knew Holy Spirit absolutely brought them both in for complete healing. I immediately approached Boyd who was on the far side of the shop standing by the Surfboard Prayer Bench. He had been watching Leslie and I from a distance as I was praying for her. I introduced myself and blatantly told him why I knew he was healed. We spoke quite awhile as I went through scripture and shared testimonies of what Yeshua was doing here. I could tell that he believed in every word and he was ready to be prayed for. I sat Boyd down on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, we both removed our sandals, I put my Talit around him and anointed him with oil. The shop was still full of customers as I began to pray and declare healing into his body in the Mighty Name of Yashua and commanded the cancer to leave and be cast out! Power 🔥🔥🔥 came down, the temperature around us increased and Boyd began weeping and weeping. AND as all this was happening, a song came on over us through the sound system and was saying, ’I am Jesus, Your Healer! The song kept playing the words over and over as I was commanding the cancer to leave and declaring healing into his body. It was radical, and Boyd was completely blown away. After all was said and done, Boyd just sat there and couldn’t move because he was so overwhelmed at what had just occurred. I told Boyd to just sit there and let Holy Spirit do His thing. What a Divine Encounter – We both know he was healed and I’ll be getting a Praise Report soon. We exchanged numbers. Glory Hallelujah, all praise, glory and honor to our King YASHUA!

Surf Shop Testimony

One of the greatest pleasures the Lord blesses me with is meeting young people and sharing the deeper things / truths in scripture and seeing them soak up the word and coming to a place where they’ve heard the scriptures but never put ‘the pieces of puzzle so to say / and or tied it together where it made completely sense – AND Btw fully comprehend what it means to be BAPTIZED – in Three.
1 – Call on the Name of Jesus Christ and believe. (A heart decision and repent knowing there is absolutely NO WAY we can save ourselves!) At that moment we’re set free and begin our journey with Him and we are saved.
2 – Water Baptism – an outward expression, signifying that we are dying to ourselves when submersed in water 💦 being raised out of the water as a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus.
3 – Baptism of Holy Spirit 🌬️and fire 🔥 (EMPOWERMENT) – at that time what’s supposed to happen, which often is overlooked and/or not understood, and SADLY at times, not taught or believed in.
***JUST READ SCRIPTURES AND DO A DEEP STUDY
I encounter literally hundreds of Christians, as I did with the two young students (Trinity and Gracie) going into college (pic 1) and the young girl (Ella) going into high school, who I was humbled and honored to be used as a vessel for the Lord to baptize them in the Holy Spirit and fire.
It’s a totally awesome scene to see their reactions when the power of Holy Spirit comes upon them. Most weep and weep but are completely ecstatic, full of joy thanking and thanking me over and over, Everyone of them afterwards always asks me for a hug. I tell them it’s just Jesus, and I’m just a vessel doing what He’s got me doing. They are all here on vacation this week and I know I’ll be seeing them again in the shop. A couple of them I believe may ask to be baptized in the Gulf (water baptism).
Pic 3 – I prayed with each member of these two families. The three young boys you see told me that when I prayed for them they felt a tingling sensation and heat go through their bodies! And yes, we all prayed on the Surfboard Prayer 🙏 Bench, with our shoes removed, covered with my Talit, and anointed with oil – not as a religious practice – only as a prophetic act to honor our Lord and Savior Yashua Hamashiach.
Very VERY POWERFUL Divine Appointments! 🔥🔥🔥

Surf Shop Testimony

‘The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, (us) not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.’
2 Peter 3:9
As it most always is when at work at the shop, the Lord has me there (our Lane) to do Kingdom work because we are basically an organic church / an Ekklisia where people from all around, other states and even nations are coming. As you know are being healed physically, spiritually and emotionally and also deliverance from unclean spirits, as well as, being baptized in water 💦 and the Holy Spirit. There’s so much happening that we sometimes are overwhelmed. I would love ❤️ to share everything that’s happening but it’s simply impossible. Yesterday (Sunday) was one example. Divine Appointment one after another began the moment I stepped in till leaving upon closing. I try to document the encounters, but I lost count at fifteen. However, I must tell you about this one – Dr. Ray who was here visiting with his wife and two children. TOTALLY HOLY SPIRIT LED!
I noticed the family sitting on the couch and just lightly sensed Holy Spirit brought them in for a reason. I didn’t do a thing – I simply waited. Like I mentioned before when you allow yourself to be completely in tune with Holy Spirit. He will do through you / us what the Father’s will is in every situation. After quite awhile – over an hour or so – Dr. Ray’s wife kept coming in and out of the surf shop area from the coffee shop. Most every time this occurs, I know for certain the Lord has brought them here for a Divine Appointment. As she stood looking at some items in the shop, I approached her, introduced myself, started up a casual conversation and told her that I believed she and her family were brought her by the Lord and was there anything I could pray for her about. She smiled and said, ‘Yes, I know. I sensed it and can feel the presence of the Lord in this place.’ She spoke with a foreign accent – she was from Poland. She said please pray 🙏 for my husband’s salvation. He doesn’t believe in the Lord. We talked some and I found out her husband was a physician who specialized in spinal surgery. I gave her a book by a friend of mine who’s a surgeon (Dr. Thayer) called ‘Saved’ and told her that a lot of medical professionals have read it and have come to be believers. It had some powerful testimonies backed by pictures of which I shared with her. I asked if she thought he would read it if I gave it to him. She said she doubted it, so we prayed. It was simple yet powerful, Holy Spirit was definitely there, she teared up, and I knew the WORD went forth. She went about shopping. I drifted over to the coffee shop where her husband (Dr. Ray) was sitting with his son. I introduced myself and we started up a nice conversation. We talked about his work and how I also was a medic in the military. I showed him my scar where I was shot. We talked for awhile, as I listened and waited on Holy Spirit to lead me into a conversation about the Lord. However, I just didn’t sense it at all so I left it at that.
Then this – only GOD!
As I walked back into the surf shop, his wife was checking out at the counter and I noticed she was purchasing the book, SAVED’. Her husband – Dr. Ray came up behind us and said, ‘What are you doing?’ She said, ‘Just getting a few things’. I noticed he looked at the book. All of a sudden Holy Spirit said, ‘Now!’ So I started up a conversation to thank them for coming in, and gave them some recommendations of where to go. Then I turned to Dr. Ray and said, ‘I don’t know where you stand in your faith, but can I pray for you and your work?’ He said yes! His wife stood in the distance watching and I know she was smiling. I just let Holy Spirit lead me in my words. Don’t know exactly what I said but I know it was what the Lord wanted him to hear and it was definitely moving and very powerful. When all was said and done, I could physically see that it moved and touched Dr. Ray. I don’t know the outcome but I truly believe he will soon believe and be ‘Saved’ and even read the book his wife purchased. We all said our goodbyes cordially and I saw the expression of thankfulness in his wife’s eyes and smile of what had just happened.
Everyday is full of awe and wonder, particularly, here at work. Seems it just continues to grow and grow.

WOW 😮. I’ve been in deep intercession with the Lord asking Him many things lately, particularly, where and what He is calling my wife into, particularly, moving forward in this new season. I have felt a shift, as I know many have, and we’re seeing many things / events occurring that we have never seen before and also seems to be increasing profoundly some in most shockingly ways.
As I came to the shop early this morning to pray, I was approached by a dear friend who said she had a gift she wanted to give me (picture 1 & 2) It was given to her by her father who passed away during COVID in 2020. Holy Spirit prompted her to give it to me – totally crazy! Her father was a strong man of God, who I was told connected to and influential among many leaders in the region. He got this eagle 🦅 in Israel many years ago when he was visiting with a prominent pastor on the Emerald Coast. It’s hand carved and made completely of olive wood. A friend came in today and saw it and said it’s worth QUITE A LOT because he does wood carvings himself and said the work is exquisite! When she told me what it was and pulled it from her car, I knew without a doubt, the Lord was confirming what He’s been speaking and revealing to me and much of it lines up to what has been happening behind the scenes in my life and prophetic words given to me throughout the years. All I can say is that I am still in complete AWE and God is totally absolutely amazing!

I met this lady ‘Myesha’ who has just moved here. Immediately, Holy Spirit highlighted her, so I approached her and we sat and chatted as she had a smoothie bowl. Definitely a Divine Appointment. I made a new friend and she’s a very strong Christian woman. We shared stories about each other. Then I felt an unction to pray 🙏 for her and her family. No coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE, Myshea said the words the Lord gave me to pray over her were confirmation, as she just purchased a necklace with the same scripture I was praying over her and her family and situation. She’ll be coming back regularly to visit and fellowship. God is Divinely lining up and connecting people right now. What a glorious time to be alive!

This is young Ezekiel who was visiting with his parents and my friend. We all were talking and about to pray when again, I felt a powerful unction to pray and prophesy over Ezekiel. The Lord had me release a powerful word over him and also come against a hindrance that was holding him back to move into his full potential. Wow just wow – the mom said how did you know? That was spot on! I said it was the Lord and told Ezekiel to be prepared because God was bringing him to a whole new level. The parents wanted to take this picture of us holding the eagle because of what it represents. Btw – Ezekiel is adopted, as well as I was – Confirmation!

Got a phone call from someone who asked if I was available for a baptism. I said certainly! This beautiful family came all the way from Virginia. Again, when I do water 💦 baptisms, I always sit down with the family and we go over scripture and also I make sure that they understand the FULL meaning of baptism and what the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire is. And, almost every time there is more to just the baptism, as was in this case. The Lord gave me a word for Reece, the man who came to be baptized, that he needed to hear. Reece cried and cried like a baby and thanked me. I said that the Lord not only brought him all the way from Virginia to a surf shop to just be baptized, but that he needed to hear that word because he was holding onto and struggling with not knowing (it’s a private matter) far too long. He and his wife held each other and cried as Holy Spirit comforted and healed Reece.
Yes, we were sitting on the Surfboard Prayer Bench. had our shoes removed, they were covered by my Talit and anointed with oil. It was absolutely beautiful! We walked across the street, I was joined by Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ and Reece was baptized. Yes, he was baptized in the Holy Spirit as well. What was so cool is so many people on the beach watched, some taking pictures, and a huge applause from the crowd after we finished.
This is the Kingdom life and we are an EKKLESIA here in PCB!

This one is RAD! These friends (L-R Anby, Stacie, Dottie, me, Liz, Chloe, Wyatt) came back again all the way from Port Saint Joe (two hours away). Also read Praise Report at end.
They brought their friend ‘Liz’ to meet me and pray. I knew it was a Divine Appointment because – confirmation – her name is the same as my wife: Mary Elizabeth. Praises –
1. Chloe’s pain is gone
2. Abby said when I prayed for healing for her foot (see the boot) she felt warmth / electricity in her foot! 2. As I prayed for Dottie, Holy Spirit revealed a lot to me. She needed some deep emotional healing. Dottie wept and wept as Jesus wrapped His arms around her as I prayed. It was intense but beautiful at the same time. And – Stacie (I’m sure she’s reading this) YES YES YES – I AM PRAYING 🙏 🙏 🙏 FOR YOU! After you left, the Lord told me to tell you that He’s got it! Not to worry. So that’s all I know and I’m sure you know. 😇
Praise Report – her foot was HEALED!
