Eye Witness Accounts Of Jesus Changing Lives

06/28/21

So many Divine Appointments – so many Divine Encounters! One right after another, as the Lord just keeps bringing in people from all over and off the streets to be healed spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Cancers ridden, injured limbs healed, and best of all many baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire receiving Life and praying in their spirit tounges for the first time. All in public where many believers and unbelievers witnessed it all. God is certainly moving in this little Surf Shop. All we do is wax up our boards (prepare His house) and let the Waves (His Holy Spirit) move and groove how He wills.
Come on in and join us = Get On Board with the Lord and enjoy the ride. Go with His flow. Holy Flow

Praying for a family.
Once again the Holy Ghost brought in folks from all around to be ministered to. Some needing healing physically, some emotionally and some just a fresh new wine poured out from above. Incredibly blessed and humbled to be used by God in such a beautiful way each day. We are EKKLESIA!

Another Brother brought into the Kingdom of God! I’ve known Zac and his family for quite a long time. Zac’s brother ‘Storm’ lost his life awhile ago in a jet ski / boating accident. I remember giving Storm a Bible and talking with him regularly about Jesus. When his mom came into the shop after the accident, she told me he always kept that Bible at his bedside. I have no doubt Storm is in paradise with Jesus. Well today, his brother Zac came into the shop holding Bible and needing to speak with me. To make a long story short, we prayed over Zac and he gave his life to the Lord and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and then we walked him across the street and was baptized in the Gulf. He’ll be coming back soon and we’re going to baptize his whole family! This is LIFE! We aren’t in the Surf Business. We’re using the Surf Business as HIS business and seeing the fruits of our labor. It’s not about selling stuff, it’s about bringing the lost into the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

This older gentleman came in feeling weak and moving slow. After we prayed for him, he felt lighter and younger. Then he started to JUMP AROUND! This is the power of the Gospel!

07/17/21

Today, two young men gave their lives to Jesus today! We saw Jesus heal several people and many more encounter Him!
We are called to live the Kingdom Life! Where love is demonstrated and Jesus Christ is King!

Testimony from a Surf Shop:
Meet Kayla & Ryan & little ‘Coleman Joseph’ they say is their miracle baby.
Last July 2020, Kayla and Ryan were led to the shop by the Lord. I met them and knew the Lord had brought them in. We started talking, and I discovered that they were deeply hurting because they wanted a child and Kayla had two miscarriages. I showed them a book that my friend wrote that might give her peace. I then said I believe that they would have a child and asked if I could pray with them. They said yes, and I took them over to our Prayer Cubby and sat them on the Surfboard Prayer Bench. As I most often do I anointed them with oil and put the Talit around them (Prayer Shawl) and began to pray. Holy Spirit fell on us and they began to weep. As the Lord led me, began to speak over them and said that they would receive a child before the end of the year. Also, I heard the Lord say she (Kayla) had a spirit of fear over her, so in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I commanded it to leave! Exactly at the moment the spirit was rebuked and lifted off Kayla, we all felt it AND out of all the songs that come on over our music system in the shop the song shouted ‘FEAR doesn’t have a chance when I’m standing in Your Love’ by Bethel! It was SO powerful!
They returned home and had a procedure to have a child but normally it could be up to a few years before it would work. She got pregnant two months later after we had prayed! Here’s their newborn son little ‘Coleman Joseph’ three months old and perfectly healthy baby boy.
God Is Absolutely Good! 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥

Testimony from the Surf Shop:
Meet (from L to R) Lacey, Denise, & Cassandra. The Lord led Denise to the shop months ago and had a POWERFUL encounter with Jesus. She was struggling with a couple things and something seemed to be missing in her life. She believed in Jesus but something was missing. I explained the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire in depth showing it in scripture and believed that the Lord brought here to the shop not only to be delivered from what she was struggling with but also to receive the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire. She returned with her friends to let me know that she’s praying in her spirit language (prays in tongues) and as been on FIRE for Jesus ever since. Her friend ‘Lacey’ when she heard about Cassandra’s testimony, she knew that she felt the Lord tell her to come here because she was feeling stagnant in her walk with the Lord. They all came in today and once again the Holy Spirit and FIRE came in with power and rocked the place while customers watched and couldn’t help but sense the power of HIS presence, and Lacey was ignited. All I can say is that you had to be here to see what happened.
This is Kingdom Business – church in action out in the open for all to see. I believe there were several customers in the shop and coffee shop not expecting to get an extra dose of expresso! 😎
God Is Absolutely Good! 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

This is ‘Joe’. I call him Joseph. Joseph has a hard and difficult story like many. The Lord led him to the Surf Shop early this morning as I was praying and anointing the grounds in preparation for this morning’s ‘Gathering at the Surf Shop’. I never know what the Lord has in store for me when I come in, and actually wherever I go. Scripture says,
A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9
Joseph lives in his truck and works jobs as they come. He says since being here in Panama City Beach, he’s been able to find odd jobs here and there. He came into the shop seeking to speak with the Pastor of the Surf Shop. I guess that would of been me ‘Daddy Surf’ 🏄‍♂️🌊 Although I had much to do to prepare for this morning’s gathering, I heard the Lord (received a Rhema word) speak and remind me of Luke 10:38-42 with emphasis on vs 41, 42
41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” To make a long story short all he needed was a cup of coffee, and a place he could have lunch if he didn’t get paid today for a job he was working. However, the Lord desired he hear the Word and I told him he had a name of great significance and spent time with him to share the story of Joseph in the Bible (Genesis 37 – 50) Joe was amazed and the Holy Spirit ministered to him in a mighty way. I may never see Joseph again, but I do know without a doubt we met for a specific reason and the Lord will continue to do things his life.
I will end with this: God is completely changing the church. The way most way Christians see it. Understand what He’s doing and saying in these last days and hours. Be prepared for Water 🌊 (Holy Spirit) & Fire 🔥 It’s about to erupt like an atomic explosion 💥. Stand strong for the SHAKING is near!

Kingdom Business at the Surf Shop:
Mom contacted me to be baptized with her little baby girl. She also brought her whole family – Grandpa, Grandma, husband and other daughter. I sat with them all and showing them in scripture and teaching them about the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire – (the Holy Spirit 🌊was in them) we prayed and the Holy Spirit 🔥 fell upon them as other customers watched in the distance. It was POWERFUL! Then we all headed out to the COURTYARD and I baptized mom and her little girl.
This is what we do. This is who we are.
Advancing God’s Kingdom here on the earth! 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

Testimony from the Surf Shop:
Daniel’s Story – meet Daniel. NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER – Daniel was led to the shop by the Lord! He actually came to the coffee shop to study with his laptop and books. As he waited for his coffee, he pondered over to the surf shop side, and much to his surprise, he saw our Surf Bench (we have two and it’s where we pray for folks who the Lord sends our way). Daniel had a dream about a surfboard bench, so he grabbed all his stuff and set up in our Prayer Cubby under the stairs, sitting on our surfboard bench and began to study. That’s where I discovered him when I came into the shop. Robin (our employee) went over to talk with him and ask what he was doing and that’s how we knew the Lord sent him here. Robin told me that he wasn’t a believer in Christ and was being fed a bunch of junk in college. I immediately went over, introduced myself and we began to talk and wanted to know about his dream. Y’all know me, I don’t hold no bars back (John the Baptist on the beach) and started speaking (prophesying) Truth, Life and destiny into him telling him all those so-called psychoanalysis / man made teachings couldn’t bring him to who he truly was in Christ. The Holy Spirit consumed me as the Lord spoke to Daniel through me. The words, all according to scripture, stunned Daniel to the point that he was basically frozen and tears welled up in his eyes. To make a long story short, it was about :30 minutes or longer and then I asked if I could pray with him. I told him it was NO COINCIDENCE that it was a GODINCIDENCE that he had a dream about a surfboard bench and was sitting on the one in our shop. The Lord had brought him here because HE loved him and today was the day of salvation for him! He was tearing up the whole time as other customers watched (it’s how the Holy Spirit works – HE draws folks in and the see HIS work and encounter HIS presence most every time HE moves mightily. It’s such a beautiful and amazing thing!) I went and got a Bible for Daniel, however, he just held it and stared at it. Then he asked if I could pray for his anger. I asked why he was angry, and he said that every time he would open up a Bible and try to read it, he would get angry and rip out the pages! Yep, I knew right away what had to be done. I called another employee (Warrior in Christ – Lucas), told him everything that was going on and we got Daniel settled down to pray for him (deliverance and salvation). We asked if he wanted the anger (a dark spirit) to leave and give his life to the Lord and Daniel’s response was ‘Hell yeah!’ Both Lucas and I laughed at his response. There was a lady shopping with her daughter nearby when it all went down, and boy did it go down! The spirit of anger was cast out and immediately afterwards Lucas led him in the prayer for salvation – Hallelujah give praise to our God Almighty Yeshua! The lady who was watching, grabbed her daughter and hightailed it outta there when she saw what had happened – she knew it was the REAL DEAL! Another one brought into the Kingdom of God!

Testimony from the Surf Shop:
This is ‘Habib’ & ‘Angelina’ .
Speaking with them is my Good Brother and Fellow Warrior in Christ Joshua Rice and in background is our employee Katie Taylor
The Lord led Habib and Angelina to the shop. I encountered them as they stood in front of the keyboards we’ve got set up in the middle of our shop for Spontaneous Worship. I asked them if they were artists (musicians) and they said that they were. Habib plays instrumental music (he writes his own music) and Angelina writes and sings her own music. Both are very gifted.
You know me – I began to speak into their lives as the Lord led and told them that the Lord had brought them in for a reason. To make a long story short, they were leaving California, like so many other folks, and coming to Florida to start anew, and I prophesied what the Lord was giving me about their new life and what the Lord was about to do in their lives. They believed it was true and that it was what was in their hearts. However, there was an issue that had to be dealt with and that’s why the Lord had brought them in. Angelina was a believer but had some things the Lord wanted to deliver her from and do.
Habib wasn’t a believer but was searching for Truth. He had many questions, so I explained, in detail and all according to scripture, the questions he had and it all made perfect sense because it was all Perfect Truth – JESUS.
Jesus healed Angelina emotionally and Habib came to know Jesus. Both received the baptism of Fire 🔥 and began speaking in the spirit. They’ll be coming back to the shop for prophetic worship!

The Lord never ceases to amaze me, and I’m so humbled and honored to do this work HE has assigned me to do. It certainly NEVER gets old!
This is Andrew & Claire visiting from Virginia. The Lord directed their steps into the shop at exactly (as it always seems to be) the same time I just happened to drop in for a minute. Right away I felt a strong impulse from the Holy Spirit and knew they were here to be prayed for. I immediately went across the store and confronted them and introduced myself and told them exactly that! That the Lord had brought them in and that this was HIS house and Holy ground. Claire began to cry as His presence was so powerful I knew something was about to happen. To make a long story short, I led them both to our prayer bench, got my Talit and anointing oil to prepare to do His work. They were Catholic, so everything I spoke about, I showed them and referred it all to scripture as I explained what the prophetic was and the Sword (Word) of the Spirit (Prophetic).
I also shared what the Lord was saying about them (Words of knowledge) and they were astounded that everything the Lord was speaking through me was spot on, particularly, because I never met them before. Claire was there to be healed not just physically but also emotionally because she had been through so much. Her entire femur in her leg had to be replaced because of a tumor they had found. She had been through quite a lot to say the least. Her husband, Andrew, on the other hand also needed to be healed emotionally, particularly, delivered from fear, anxiety and depression. Jesus healed them both – it was powerful! Also, they both received baptism of Fire 🔥 (I read and explained it to them in scripture in detail)
Andrew couldn’t stop thanking me, but I told him this is what I live for! I still am so overwhelmed every time it happens and so grateful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I love Him! I love Him! I love HIM indeed! Hope y’all enjoy this story and are inspired to go be the hands and feet of Jesus. Living the Kingdom life. 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥 

October 2021

Another absolutely wonderful day that the Lord hath made! So many Divine Appointments and it’s all just as new as the first time it all began. God is so absolutely good. This is Carson & Lilly . The Lord led them here (they even said it was so – that their footsteps were directed by Him) to the shop this morning. As soon as I saw them , I felt the Holy Spirit move. I watched and waited and continued to work until I heard the Lord say, ‘Go tell them I have a word for them’. They had gone over to the coffee ☕️ shop side and were waiting in line, so I approached them, introduced myself, and told them exactly what the Lord had told me. They believed me. I then told Lilly what the Lord was telling me about her and she was astounded because it’s what she did and was spot on. I knew the Lord had more for them but HE hadn’t let me know what it was just at that moment, so I told them that I would like to pray with them when they were done eating. They said certainly and were very delighted! Make a long story short, I got my Talit and anointing oil, sat them both on our surfboard prayer bench and began to pray and prophesy what the Lord was saying and what and how he was about to do with them both – powerful to say the least! Also, I explained to them and showed them in scripture about the baptism of the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥!
We prayed and they were wrecked! Weeping as Fire 🔥 fell, I even felt the temperature around us rise – it was amazing! They both were believers and Lilly had been baptized in water but Carson hadn’t. We filled our tub outside and baptized him while folks who were there to eat lunch watched in amazement. God connected us for a specific reason which will occur in the near future. What’s also cool, and a GODINCIDENCE, is they had gone to Church International one time and loved it! We support the Robin Youngblood Bullock Bullocks. Keep on keeping on for HIS Kingdom- Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

October 2021

Good Monday morning Y’all! I’ll get up a beach report shortly. Until then, here’s a short testimony. This is Art & Tina. They are dear friends that I met when they started to come to our small ‘Gathering at the Surf Shop’. They are on their way back home in Georgia after spending a few months here in PCB, however, they will return Spring 2022. Tina is spirit-filled and the Lord has given her many dreams and visions. She carries a strong spirit of peace and you sense the anointing on her when she’s with you and shared the things that the Lord shows and speaks to her and her many testimonies. She has been bringing her husband here in hopes that he would be baptized in the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥.
Well yesterday, Sunday morning, they showed up to attend our Gathering but didn’t know we had canceled it because we were attending my friend’s meeting in Grandridge. They were the only ones who came. Now as it always is – never a coincidence only GODINCIDENCE , I just happened to come into the shop for a minute to square it away for our staff for the day. We sat, talked a few about many matters concerning the Lord and Art said he desired the baptism of Fire 🔥 but didn’t understand what it was exactly. To make a long story short, I shared – all according to scripture – the word in a way the Holy Spirit has gifted me with and it made perfect sense. He understood it! So with that said, I said since we’re here let’s go over to the Surf Bench and pray and ask Father God to baptize you in the Fire 🔥. He wanted to so we went to shop side (it was closed so we had it all to ourselves) got my Talit and anointing oil and we asked Papa God to baptize Art with the Holy Spirit 🌊and Fire 🔥. It was SO BEAUTIFUL to see this couple tucked up underneath the Talit and when the Fire 🔥 came upon Art, well let’s just say it was simply beautiful. His wife cried with joy because she had been praying for this moment for a long time.
By the way Art said his legs felt like led, and he could barely walk 😊. Life is SO beautiful with Jesus, Jesus nothing but JESESU!  🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥 Daddy Surf

January 2022

Good Sunday morning Y’all – it’s another Absolutely Beautiful Day that the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice in it! Wow – Wow – WOW!
Yesterday was simply amazing to say the least. Had such a powerful encounter with Holy Spirit during ‘Gathering at the Surf Shop’, particularly, when we took Communion. His presence remained well after we finished and had to open our doors for business. Why?! HE prepared the shop for some powerful Divine Appointments. What’s so beautiful is HE draws people in and the shop and barista bar filled up. #1 The picture you see here is Jessica. She was led to the shop to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire. We met at the front door and immediately I knew the Lord had sent her here. She also had a lot of things she was dealing with and needed Jesus to set her free which she was, and also her body needed healing. Jesus completely healed her body and all pain and depression was stripped off! She left a whole new daughter restored and delivered and baptized in Holy Spirit and Fire! What’s the really amazing thing is I have never met her and we’re connected to people all the way up north in Dalton Georgia – coincidence, I don’t think so – GODINCIDENCE for sure!
#2 A group of folks traveling in the USA dropped in for coffee – not! The Holy Spirit led them here. Travis (husband from China) now living in America with his wife from Russia (they met in China where his wife was working) and their very good friend ‘Angela’ who lives in Brooklyn New York.
Jerrod Schonfeld who is part of the Mr. Surf’s Ministry Team was sitting at a table with them in the coffee shop. Little did I know he was sharing the gospel with them – they were not believers. He spent a good while with them and they all politely sat there and listened. Jerrod invited them to give their lives to Jesus, but they nicely declined. The whole time this was happening, Holy Spirit kept highlighting them to me, particularly, Travis. After they left, Jerrod told me what was going on. I saw them all still outside in the Courtyard – they couldn’t leave. Why? Because Holy Spirit wasn’t done yet. Holy Spirit said, ‘John go talk to them!’ I said about what? Jerrod already shared the gospel. Holy Spirit said just go, I’ll do the rest. Go and talk with the Chinese guy. So I asked Jerrod what was the guys name and he said Travis. I obeyed and went outside and called out to Travis. They all turned surprised. I just was blank forward and said hey guys, the Holy Spirit has asked me to come speak with y’all, particularly to you Travis. They were kinda shocked to say the least. I briefly explained who I was and I was just doing what the Lord asked. I told them I knew they didn’t believe but that was okay. All I know is he wanted me to come talk with y’all and now I’m waiting to see what He wants to say, especially for some reason to you Travis. If you could see the look on their faces. They looked at me like who is this guy and what the heck!
Travis’s wife said well why Travis and I said I don’t know. Then Holy Spirit said tell Travis he works with computers. Now get this, I know nothing about these people except their names. They hadn’t even told me about where they were from or where they were going. I knew nothing! I wanted to say what Holy Spirit told me but in my mind I was arguing with Him. What if I’m wrong Lord? I’ll look like an idiot. Then Holy Spirit said ‘INTELLIGENCE’ tell him I’ve given him that gift and he’s to use it for me. And when he does. I’m going to blow him away with what I will do with his life!
They just all sat there looking at me because they could tell I was talking to the Lord. I just looked up and told Travis exactly what the Lord told me. You could see immediately in his eyes he was taken back and then he just smiled. His wife and Angela on the other hand were quite shocked. I said that’s the word He gave me for you. I then asked Travis what he did and well to no surprise, he worked in the software industry with computers and his wife said, as well as Angela, that he was very intelligent. Then Holy Spirit just downloaded on me and for quite awhile we talked and they all asked questions. They wanted to know this Holy Spirit who I explained was part of the Triune God;
Father, Jesus (Son) & Holy Spirit
Angela really started asking questions. It was so beautiful and so appointed. I absolutely love doing His work. We all said our goodbyes and I know for certain the Lord opened a door that morning and their journey with Him was about to get radical – I told them so and they were so open and excited!
#3 Last encounter was with a soldier (an Army Diver) who was sitting in the coffee shop. I myself was a Dive Med Tech in the Navy so it opened up our conversation and led to talking about the Lord. He wasn’t a believer. However, because the Word relates closely with warfare, the Lord has given me the gift to speak to military people because I correlate the Word with how it pertains to the military and warfare. To make a long story short, we sat, talked, spoke about his family and who he (his name is Tom) is in Christ. He had been to churches but never heard the Word explained this way. I also told Tom about our (the Soldier’s Psalm – Psalm 91) and how powerful it was and that it was part of my daily declarations and prayers. We have a small book ‘Military Edition Psalm 91′ that we give out when Holy Spirit leads us to. I gave him the book and we prayed. After the prayer, he looked up at me and I could see in his eyes he knew Holy Spirit was there. He said that’s powerful and thanked me and off he went.
God is SO absolutely good! Nothing can compare to doing His work here on this earth. I will end with this – when I spoke yesterday morning at our Gathering, the Fire of the Holy Spirit fell on me and had me release a word for those sitting there. They all knew it was from the Lord. I believe it’s a Word that must go out, especially, in the churches for God’s people. It’ll tick many off, but I’m not here to build up crowds or a following. I’m called to ‘SOUND THE ALARM’ and let those willing to listen understand what’s going on and what’s coming. For me to live is Christ and to die is gain. I’m just doing what the Lord asks me to do. Hope y’all enjoyed the testimonies and they encourage you. Love y’all and appreciate y’all’s prayers and support. Y’all have an absolutely beautiful day and be blessed – Daddy Surf

January 2022

So I’m outside cleaning up the yard, and this young man ‘Joseph’ shows up because he has an appointment with my wife to go over Solar Panels. My wife wasn’t feeling well and had to postpone the appointment, however, it was with Jesus Christ that Joseph had an appointment. I just began to talk with Joseph about what he wanted out of life? where he saw his future? Then Holy Spirit just downloaded on me and I began to talk about him (Joseph) and tell him all about things that he was facing and going through. Joseph just stood there frozen because I had never met him or talked with him before. I began to tell him about a Father who loved him and would never leave him and the Holy Spirit told me he knew Joseph had a rough life and I even told him things that had happened in his early family life. Holy Spirit spoke to me loud and clear and the more I spoke what He was telling me to say, the more Joseph was completely shocked. I never knew or met Joseph in my life, but the Lord allowed me to download all the information about him, so without a doubt, Joseph knew it was absolutely real.
To make a long story short, I shared sound Truth – not watered down, tickled up or seeker friendly words – I gave Joseph meat! It’s what he was hungry for. He said that he had people try to push Christianity on him and I said brother nobody can push anything on you. The Lord just wants you to know he created you because he loves you, he did everything for you and it cost you nothing but just say yes Lord I believe! Turn from your ways to His and enter into the Kingdom life. I said let’s pray. As we prayed, Jesus held Joseph and Joseph encountered the Lord for the first time. It so beautiful and was that simple. Joseph just stood there frozen, eyes a little damp from tears and a hunger to begin to walk with Jesus. He will be coming by the shop in a few days and we’ll pray again and go over something’s in the Bible and also let him ask more questions. I’m sure he’ll have many.
Matthew 9:35-38
And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
My name is JOHN – Tony died a long time ago. Just as Abram’ name was changed to Abraham??, Jacob’s to Israel, Saul’s to Paul.
The Lord met me in my Secret Place and said three words: SOUND THE ALARM
From there He led me to a Spirit filled church where an elder came up to me and said, ‘The Lord told me to give you these words: “IT’S NOT TOO LATE ” and “PUT IT ON A SHELF “
From their the Lord led my wife and I to north Alabama to an Apostolic House
A prophet prayed for me, and as he did, the Lord gave him a vision of me. I was very small STANDING AT / in front of a HUGE DOOR. He said that was all.
My wife and I developed a strong relationship with the Pastor, his wife and several people at that house. I believe the Pastor (who has a powerful anointing) imparted what the Lord had given him to me. The Lord also began to connect us with other powerfully anointed men and women of God – some Generals. The connections keep coming and I am beginning to see the Lord building something, which I believe is for ‘Such a time as this!’ The Lord is giving me dreams nightly most of which I record. Divine Appointments followed by apostolic power are occurring daily, many of which I don’t share.
In short I believe we are here – the beginning of the ‘Days of Noah’ – why because a dream the Lord gave me recently referred to scripture: Hebrews 11:7
For anyone who reads this now you know.
I am SOUNDING THE ALARM
IT’S NOT TOO LATE – get in the Ark now! (Hebrews 11:7)
The time is short and running out (shelf life) – PUT IT ON A SHELF
Get in the Ark now (Salvation through Jesus alone) IT’S NOT TOO LATE
You have this moment and possibly the rest of today. Tomorrow may never come.
Call on His name – believe in your heart that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life.
He became sin for us to set us free to live eternally with Him now and forever more!
Love y’all and so much appreciate y’all’s prayers and support. See y’all at the shop or maybe on the road somewhere.
Have an absolutely beautiful day – JOHN

Spring Break 2022

This morning during my quiet time with the Lord, I began to plan out my day. As usual, I hold my plans loosely, because I know the Holy Spirit will lead me (Pv. 16:9), so I always expect the unexpected. I very lightly heard the Lord say, He wanted me to do a Live Beach Report, but down at the County Pier. I normally do the morning beach report from just down the street from our house, rarely do I do it from the pier. Deep down inside, I knew the Lord had an appointment – didn’t have a clue but just knew something would happen.
Upon leaving the house I first headed to the shop, and as soon as I walked in, the Lord had an appointment with a lady sho needed encouragement and some weight broken off her shoulders. We prayed. Jesus refreshed and healed her from the stress and oppression that was attacking her. She wept and felt great after the encounter. I got up and was going to head to the St. Park (where I usually go) to do a Live Beach Report. As I got in my truck, once again, I heard the Lord say very lightly, I told you to go to the pier. I knew for certain He had something He needed to do and I was just the vessel. If you watch my Live you’ll see me talk about it. I even point out the individual I believe was the appointment – he was! His name is ‘Ian’. Ian is the one next to me (John -Daddy Surf & Lucas)
I’ll try to make this short: Ian was parked in front of me. I was asking Holy Spirit if he was my appointment – no answer – so I waited. Ian backed up and parked across from me remaining there with some friends in another car next to his. His friends left and once again I asked Holy Spirit if he was my appointment. Holy Spirit then told me to go over introduce myself and tell him that he was hurt by the church and that wasn’t Me (Jesus) tell him I (Jesus) didn’t do it, and I wanted him (Ian) to come back to me. I did exactly what Holy Spirit said. Ian was shocked! I continued to speak truth to him and share deep (all scriptural) things. Ian had heard some of what I shared, but mostly from a religious and legalistic spirit. During our conversation I mentioned he (Ian) had a passion in computers, particularly, designing games. Keep in mind, I never met Ian up until now. Ian was completely overwhelmed wanting to know how I knew all this because every word was true! I told Ian, Holy Spirit began this encounter early this morning and He led me here so I could give you His words.
Make a long story short: Ian walked away from Jesus because of a religious spirit but Jesus never walked away from him. It was time for Ian to have an encounter with Jesus and be baptized in the Holy Spirit. He was and was completely overwhelmed. BTW – he drove all the way over from the pier to the shop to finish what the Lord started. I didn’t know if he would show up but he came in right behind me. His remarks to us before we prayed for him were
‘Heck Yeah! I want this Encounter – Jesus!
This is just the beginning – it’s going to be EPIC!

Spring Break 2022

As it always happens when I step into the shop to do some work, the Lord has His work set up as was in the case of this beautiful family here on Spring Break vacation from Nashville. It began just as a simple conversation which led to the Holy Spirit revealing why they had come in to eat. They were here to eat breakfast, however, the Lord had them here to eat bread from heaven.
To make a long story short, the Lord had me speak prophesy into their lives. I covered them with the Talit, anointed them with oil all while the store was packed with people seeing, listening and encountering His presence as He moved over and among us. Both moms, particularly the one with the cap, wept. The mom with the cap said her body had not stopped tingling since we prayed! The little girl (Rachel) was drawn into the midst of us while we prayed. At the counter, she looked up and casually said – like it was nothing special,
‘You know the Holy Spirit is here. He’s Jesus.’
Then she casually walked away.
(Mat. 18:2-3) And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Please keep us in your prayers as we are led to do His work. Spring Break breakthrough is this coming week, and know that the God will move mightily. #beaches #blessed #thankful #florida #beach #surfshop #jesus #beautiful #HolySpirit

Spring Break 2022

Luke 1:39-45
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and ublessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”
Note: John (the Baptist) was the first to recognize the long awaited Messiah ‘Jesus Christ’ while in the womb!
So this just happened in the Surf Shop:
This is Jessica & Joseph (Joe) The Lord led them here this morning. The moment they came in, they said they felt the presence of the Lord. I was engaged in a conversation with a friend and the Lord highlighted Jessica to me while she was shopping. I didn’t know why. After speaking with my friend, I realized Jessica had left – or I thought so. I looked around the coffee shop and outside but didn’t see her. As I went back into the shop, she and her husband were checking out. I said, much to their surprise, ‘Oh there you are! I was looking for you!’ She and her husband were taken back at first until I explained who I was and everything to them. I didn’t realize Jessica was pregnant with their first child, a girl, ‘Westlyn’. They are here in PCB for their Babymoon. I knew immediately they were here, including little Westlyn, to be prayed for. They are Christians but didn’t know fully about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire which is written throughout scripture. We talked about it in length and we all sat together for prayer. I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil and the Lord began to speak through me as I prophesied over them and little Westlyn in Jessica’s womb. As I did, Jessica wept and the baby ‘Westlyn’ was leaping inside her womb. It was amazing! Jessica said it was crazy because she felt little Westlyn dancing inside her womb! All this occurred as the presence of Holy Spirit overwhelmed all of us! There were a lot of people in the shop all watching as this all happened.
I love this life! Living and walking with Jesus every moment of every day!
Hope y’all enjoyed this testimony.
God is Absolutely Good!

Testimonial from a Patron

Testimony from the Surf Shop: Got this message from Matthew who came into the shop one day. The Lord sent him in!
– Hi John, I met you in the beginning of January after my family and I were guided by God to your shop. I wanted to thank you again for praying over us.
That day changed a lot for us.
My wife, Amy, had been thinking to herself that she wanted to get a bible but she said to herself that she wanted something specific in what it looked like. It blew her mind that not only did you give her a bible, it happened to have exactly the look she wanted.
You prayed over me and my upper back pain. It didn’t immediately disappear but I felt chills and tingling in that area. Over the next few days the pain left and hasn’t returned.
We returned the next week and I bought a skim board and shirt. You werent there but I snapped a picture to send you.
Four years ago, God came to me and told me to buy a sailboat which was what brought us to Florida. We finally found one in Mexico and are living on it now.
Thanks again for everything you do to spread the Word of God.
Matthew Kennedy

Spring Time Testimonies

This family contacted me because their daughter wanted to be baptized in the Gulf. We were recommended and I made arrangements for them to come to the shop because before a baptism, I always want them to understand what the complete meaning of baptism is.
As the whole family listened, at the end of our conversation, the father heard and understood so much more than what he learned about in church.
He said I want it also (baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire) – so we gathered together and Yessiree – it was done in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
Grandma (the Father’s mother) was praying for this moment. And yes afterwards we walked them across the street to be baptized in the Gulf. It’s no coincidence that the Lord has placed our Surf Shop directly across from a Public Beach! God is SO Absolutely Good!

Spring Time Testimonies

Testimonies from the Surf Shop Mr. Surfs Surf Shop – The Lord never ceases to amaze me each day I step into the shop to work for the day. I’m fortunate to have a incredible staff that can attend to the business side while the Lord has me attend to His side. He sends dozens of people a day to hear His word, receive prayer, healing and lots of them receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥. We hand out Bibles, books & devotionals, feed folks physically and spiritually and many get baptized in our little tub outside in the ‘Courtyard’ next to the shop. An ‘EKKLESIA’ a church without walls six days a week – Monday is our Sabbath, so we’re CLOSED every Monday.
My wife and I never could have imagined that the Lord would bless us with such an amazing ministry !
Pic #1 – I was standing at the counter when this group of young ladies approached me, and one asked if I remembered her and her family. Of course I didn’t because I meet so many people, and she said that I had prayed for her dad last year and that he was very sick and getting worse and not able to work. They were going through a very hard time and I approached them and said the Lord had sent them into the shop.
Make a long story short, she said her dad was healed and was back to work full time with no problems – HALLELUJAH Thank you Jesus! We all talked at length about a lot of God things and one of them was tearing up heavily – I knew the Holy Spirit was moving, so I said we all need to pray. The one who was tearing up said she wanted to hear from the Lord. I believe there were a couple who hadn’t received the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire, so I also mentioned and explained it verifying it to them in scripture. Yes, sure enough Holy Spirit consumed us as we prayed and all of them were crying like babies! The shop was full of people watching and encountering His presence whether they knew it or not. That’s why it’s so cool!
Pic #2 The two young men and two girls also were there and received the same. What was a GODINCIDENCE is that my dear Sister and Warrior in Christ ‘Joy Bassett’ who has a strong prophetic anointing just happened to walk in while all this was going on, so I grabbed her to pray with all of us and she delivered a Word to each of them from the Lord while tears were falling as they all encountered Jesus’s presence. One of the two young girls said she was there last year with her family and I prayed for all of them also.
I’m thinking of changing the name of the shop? Instead of Mr. Surf’s Surf Shop maybe we should call it:
Mr. Surf’s House of Prayer – Home of God’s Eternal Wave of Glory! 🌊🔥😎

Spring Time Testimonies

Get ready people! The Tsunami 🌊 that’s about to slam the coastline and push in across America will usher in a new thing.
Many will not ride the Wave that the Lord brings in. The Seeker Friendly and Religious ways will no longer work.
The bricks will come down and either erupt into a brand new light of God’s glory exploding with signs, miracles, and wonders or have a form of godliness lacking the power there of.
Even the people will look different. The unexpected will be fiery followers of King Jesus. Going where no one has gone before. Pioneering a new thing and new way for God’s Kingdom here now and the one to come. It will be the least who become the greatest and the greatest who will become the least.
This is Gilbert and his sister Elisha. The Lord sent them my way as Robin and I were praying, anointing and blowing our shofars at Rick Seltzer Park and the beach. Gilbert could barely walk because his foot had been crushed and he was in severe pain. I immediately knew he was a Divine Appointment, and the Holy Spirit led me to him. I not only prayed for his foot, but also prayed into his spirit to ease the pain and suffering that was weighing him down. While I was praying, his sister came up behind me and put her hand on my shoulder. Gilbert cried like a baby as Holy Spirit wrecked us all. People were walking by and watching in amazement as we prayed. Gilbert was healed both physically and emotionally and his spirit was lifted to a new high. We all rejoiced!
They’ll be coming Friday night to our‘Gathering at the Surf Shop’ in the COURTYARD at Mr. Surf’s. Come join us at 6:30pm. Come expecting the unexpected and if you have a need, the Lord will provide it according to His will.

Spring Testimonies

What does it look is it like when you’re living life in alignment with the One who created you – spirit to Spirit. Led by Holy Spirit each and every moment of every day.
(beach pics from early morning hours)
I began my day by checking the surf and doing the Daily Surf Report and Word for today. I set my Talit up, anointed with oil, and blew the shofar. Shortly thereafter, I went surfing with my wife and prayed in the spirit the entire time I surfed.
Upon arriving in the shop I immediately noticed a girl standing out at the counter. The Lord highlighted her, can’t explain it, it’s just how it is when in complete alignment / in tune with the Spirit of the Lord. I spoke with her and her mother and brother as the Holy Spirit led. Every thing I spoke about them was true. I had never met them. The young kids were completely blown away and the mother wept like a little child. They knew nothing of the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire, although they all were in church and were Christians.
I prophesied over the daughter and son, commanded the fear to leave the mom all in the name of Jesus Christ, and asked the Lord to empower them with His Holy Spirit and Fire! He did and it was radical! This all occurred in the center of the surf shop while a slew of customers in the shop and coffee shop observed every bit of it and knew it was real.

Springtime Testimonies

My neighbors Kyle & his girlfriend Emee and their dog ‘Apollo’.
It was a Sunday early morning and I was praying and looking out my window. I saw Kyle and Emee outside by the stop sign, and I felt the unction of Holy Spirit to go talk with them. I went outside and approached them and asked how they were doing. They said they were doing okay, and we talked about life in general. I asked each of them how they were doing with their relationship with Jesus. Kyle said good then kinda looked at Emee. Emme said she didn’t believe and didn’t have a relationship. It was because the church she was exposed to gave her religion not Jesus, so she had gone astray. Sadly it’s the same way with many still to this day – that’s a whole other subject.
I said that’s okay girl, God’s been following you all along and has never and never will give up on you! She just looked at me, then smiled because she knew that I was being real with her.
I shared some deep Truth with her and Kyle. They both listened intently. Emee said that she had never heard of much of what I was telling her and gave clairity to a lot of unanswered questions. She was searching for truth.
Come to find out the reason they were at our house was they were looking for ‘Apollo’. He had gotten out and they hadn’t seen him in all day. They were worried and scared because he was there baby, and we live near some very busy roads. I had been briefly explaining / teaching them about the Kingdom/ living life in the fullness of Christ, so I took immediate action of the situation. I said let’s pray. Not only ask the Lord that they find Apollo, but that the Lord knows our hearts and always answers when we ask according to His will. I said the Lord knows how much you love Apollo and how He desires to reveal how real He is and how much He loves you. Much more than you do your little Apollo. So let’s even get specific with our prayer and ask Him to bring Apollo home within thirty minutes. We’ll, He did – ten minutes short – twenty minutes later, Apollo showed up at their house!
They were flabbergasted! Totally blown away! It gets better than that.
As we were outside last Friday evening at ‘Gathering at the Surf Shop’ the presence of the Lord was so powerful! We saw healings, strongholds broken off and a baptism. And this happened:
Kyle & Emee just happened to be riding by the shop to go get dinner at Wendy’s down the street. Coincidence – NOT – GODINCIDENCE – ABSOLUTELY YES!
I saw them and ran out to the parking lot to call them over. I said come on in and check it out. They really didn’t want to. Then I looked them right in the eyes and said remember ‘Apollo?!’
They said yes, and that they were telling everyone what had happened. Well I said then come now! Come to the Altar! Render your hearts, kneel at the Altar and set your request before the Lord.
He will come and He will touch you, deliver you, and answer the call in your heart. They both got off their bikes and came to the Altar to pray and set their requests before the Lord. Particularly, ‘Emee’ a prodigal daughter came back to her Father. I had my dear and close friends Pastors Josh Boyett & Cody Crider Boyett come pray with them. It was so beautiful and my heart was leaping with joy. They hugged the Pastors and me before they left. We’ll be discipling them regularly. Particularly since they live three houses down from Lib and I.
BTW – we have an Altar like no other.
It’s a Surfboard Bench! Pretty cool 😎

Spring 2022

Testimonies from the Surf Mr. Surfs Surf Shop Shop: As it happens most often when I come to the shop, the Lord has a Divine Appointment/s set in place upon my arrival. I was riding my bike praying over and around the property. As I pulled up to the backside of the shop, the Lord impressed upon my heart and spoke, ‘I’ve got someone in the shop. This was very late afternoon near closing time and we hadn’t had a customer in a couple hours. When I was out front there was nobody there, but now when I came around from the back, a car was in the parking lot. Before entering into the shop, I asked the Lord why He had sent him. All I heard was the word, ‘Healing’.
I walked in and this guy ‘Patrick’ was at the register checking out. I went straight up to him and introduced myself. He said we’d met before. I asked why he was here and he said he was visiting his father. I said how is your father’s health?Patrick said fine. I said how’s your health? He said off and on then pulled up his sleeves (he was wearing a long sleeve shirt). He had black tapped bands running down both arms to his wrists. He said he was born with a disease that attacks his ligaments and tendons. He has a hard time with handling things, particularly his camera – it’s what he loves to do and I believe does for a living. I told him that the Lord spoke to me and said someone was inside to be healed. I told him that he wouldn’t have to worry about it any longer because the Lord had brought him in to be healed. Patrick just smiled then said, ‘I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!’ Make a long story short, as I most always do, I sat him on our Surfboard Prayer Bench, had him take his shoes off and anointed his hands and feet with oil, and put the Talit around him. I asked Jesus to heal Patrick. It was done! Jesus healed him. Patrick came out to our skim competition the next day to take pictures. Notice something? NO STRAP BANDS ON HIS ARMS! He got to share his testimony with hundreds of people on the beach at the event. He also mentioned to my wife that when I prayed over him the day before it was different. He felt power go through his body. I guess I prayed for him a year ago but not for healing. God Is Absolutely Good (GIAG) Hope y’all enjoyed this testimony – it’s Truth!
Y’all have an absolutely beautiful day.

Spring 2022

This girl came up to me as I was walking out the shop. She said, ‘HEY,JOHN!, I was hoping I would see you. She has been here all week and missed me each time she came in. I didn’t recognize her because she has all her hair back and looks SO much healthier and different. She came to the shop last year to pray with me. She had cancer and it wasn’t good. Actually, she was told she didn’t have much time to live. Here she stands as evidence Jesus Christ the King of kings and Lord of lords has the final Word – because He is the Word! She’s completely healed!
Glory Hallelujah give praise to our Lord!

Spring 2022

This beautiful family from Nashville aren’t new to the shop. I’ve prayed with them before. However, come to find out this time the mom was sick, so I said let’s all go pray. It was all led by Holy Spirit. I began to give them deep prophetic teaching before praying. Told them about the revelation of taking ‘Communion’ which was given to us on Passover by Johnny Taylor which he brought in from the Holy City of Jerusalem. They were absolutely amazed at the revelation of what the Lord was speaking to them. I then asked if they knew the Baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire and if they prayed in the spirit (spoke in unknown Tounges as at Pentecost) they said no. After explaining it all, they had complete understanding and wanted to receive it. So we prayed together, I laid hands on them and asked the Lord for them to receive it – the Fire 🔥 came! They all said that the Prayer Bench they were sitting on felt like it was on Fire 🔥! I know for fact – mom is healed in the Mighty Name of Jesus and they’ll be praying in the spirit before the week is over! So be it Amen!

Spring 2022

This couple here for Bike week, were led to the Surf Shop. They watched me as I was praying over a family at the Surfboard Prayer Bench with my Talit and anointing oil. The Lord kept them in the shop! How do we know this because as they were checking out, our internet went down so they hung out, and when I was finished praying and speaking with the family I had been with, I went over and talked with them. Two Christians on Fire 🔥 for Jesus. However, come to find out they needed prayer and to receive a word from the Lord. Was it coincidence – NOT – it was a GODINCIDENCE! We sat at the Prayer Bench, Talit and anointing oil and all; Set their requests before the Lord; the power of the Lord came upon us and as I prayed out scriptures it was EXACTLY what they were desiring to hear from the Lord over the situations!
What’s so beautiful is that as this happens most often, the shop begins to fill up with people and they observe all that’s going on and encounter the power of His presence, some not even knowing what it is. This is what I live for. This is what He has me doing. God Is Absolutely Good! (GIAG)

Spring 2022

This family contacted me because their daughter wanted to be baptized in the Gulf. We were recommended and I made arrangements for them to come to the shop because before a baptism, I always want them to understand what the complete meaning of baptism is.

He said I want it also (baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire) – so we gathered together and Yessiree – it was done in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
Grandma (the Father’s mother) was praying for this moment. And yes afterwards we walked them across the street to be baptized in the Gulf. It’s no coincidence that the Lord has placed our Surf Shop directly across from a Public Beach! God is SO Absolutely Good!

Spring 2022

Another absolutely beautiful day that the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice in it! This is Kim and Guy. The Lord sent them to Destin to establish an Ekklsia business establishment. We talked at length (over an hour) and the Lord had me share deep prophetic teaching, and how to set their business up as an Ekklesia. They knew of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥by reading the Bible, but unfortunately, the church they attended never taught (an explanation of) about the significance of what and why it’s an integral part of baptism. During our conversation, the Lord also revealed ‘healing’ – one of them was there to be healed. In short, we prayed, they received the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire, and Guy who has a disease that attacks his lymph nodes, was healed. CHECKMATE! Jesus Christ of Nazareth ALWAYS wins! So many more Divine Encounters throughout the day.

Spring 2022

This is Pam. The Lord brought her to the Surf Shop and as she was shopping, see saw me praying and speaking with another couple in the store. She approached me and asked if I was the owner and if I also knew her friends from Dalton Georgia, Johnny & Leslie Taylor. I said yes and we talked about everything happening here and abroad. She asked if I could pray for her. As what I normally do. I sat her on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, covered her with the Talit and anointed her hands and feet with oil. We asked Jesus to heal her brother along with some other requests. Holy Spirit’s presence was overwhelming! We took this picture, hugged and said our goodbyes.
I received this message from Pam this afternoon:
Hey John, thanks for the prayer yesterday which was Wednesday. I called my sister because we did not have time to stop and see her and my brother Joe because we were running so late and she said no problem I told her that we had prayed and she said that Joe was miraculously healed and I just thought you would like to know that!
The Lord NEVER CEASES to blow me away each and every day. Oh how I LOVE JESUS! My King, my Lord and my Savior. Hope He’s yours also!

Spring 2022

So ‘Daniel’ and ‘Trevor’ with SOLID Surfboard Co. out of Southern California stopped the shop to show us some of their boards. Little did they know that the Lord had set the up for a Divine Appointment and an encounter with the Holy Spirit. I got to share my testimony with them, told them how we really weren’t just a Surf Shop , but an EKKLESIA for God’s Kingdom here on earth. I got to teach some deep truth with both of them. I invited them to come sit on our Surfboard Prayer Bench. Covered them with the Talit, anointed them with oil and prophesied with the words the Lord gave me. The Holy Spirit fell on them, and as always happens, it’s the most beautifully exciting thing to observe when they encountered His presence. I guess I can say: They’re both on Board with the Lord and ready to Ride the Tide of the Holy Flow with Jesus. When Daniel left, he contacted me later. What was so cool is that he didn’t thank me for the business (purchasing and buying their boards) , he graciously thanked me for sharing the Truth and praying for them! They’ll be coming back in about six week with more boards, so I’m sure I’ll here how the Lord has been working in their lives.
Please keep me in your prayers. I really do greatly appreciate, and need them.

Spring 2022

Yesterday I met these two beautiful people (Ken and Karen) here on vacation from Gainesville Georgia. I’ll be heading to Gainesville most likely this Fall to do an outreach at a Skate Park. I’ve been wanting to head that way for awhile. It was no coincidence we met. It was a Divine Appointment! We chatted for some time. The Lord had me share some deep prophetic teaching with them. We prayed for healing and the Lord had me release prophetic words over them.
As soon as I got home this came across my messenger:
‘Thank you so much for praying over Ken and me today. This has changed our lives and is exactly what I’ve prayed for. Your ministry is reaching so many and is a blessing. Please let me know how I can help you with the GainesvilleGA skatepark ministry. God Bless!’
God is SO ABSOLUTELY GOOD AND AMAZING!

Spring 2022

So this guy ‘John Faircloth’ was led to the shop by the Lord. He even said he didn’t know why but had to come in to see me (Daddy Surf). I didn’t remember him, but he knew me and told me he used to buy surfboards from me when he was a kid (he’s 28yrs). I could tell that he had had a rough life and was basically on the street. We talked about how he had got there and about making bad choices led him to jail, the street and so on. He told me that God was mad at him and had kicked him out of heaven. Can you believe that!? I told him – plain and simple it was a lie. That God never stopped loving him and I shared Truth. We talked at length and I asked him if he was ready to make Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior 💯 % = ALL IN COMPLETELY! He said yes. We sat him on the Surfboard Prayer Bench. His feet were sore from walking on the streets, so I had him take his shoes off and I washed his feet – although it was Jesus in me doing it. I covered him with the Talit, anointed him with oil and John gave his heart wholeheartedly to the Lord. It was POWERFUL! The Lord had me speak (prophesied) over him to be ready and stay intentional with his walk and that the Lord would begin to move mightily in his life. Immediately, the Lord did. A customer at the register noticed him and I praying. This customer handed me a $50 bill and asked me to give it to John! The Lord was already moving! We took him out to the ‘Courtyard’ and John was baptized in water. We got him a meal and gave him a Bible and my employee Robin took him to the ARK where they help people who are trying to get their lives back on track.

Spring 2022

Just when I thought my day was ending, the Lord sent me these two (Gunner & Gabrielle) kids – POWERFUL TESTIMONY!
To make a long story short after spending about :30+ ministering and teaching them deep Truth in scripture and EXPOSING AND DEMOLISHING all the lies of the religious and legalistic teachings of an institution that the Lord is about to SHAKE to it’s foundation they both encountered Holy Spirit for the first time. Gabrielle walked away from church and turned her back on God because of what had happened to her in the church she went to – it would shock you and I got so mad that I had to apologize to the Lord because I almost spoke out a bad word. Gunner just went to go but knew there was something more, and stopped going. I know the churches they went to.
They both said they learned more in thirty minutes than they had all their lives in church. They both will be coming to the shop to be discipled. I am so overwhelmed at what the Lord is doing in and through me that there are times I just weep.
So many hurt, lost and sick!
The harvest is ripe and the Lord is seeking out workers for the ‘Great Awakening! 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

Spring 2022

Testimony: BROKEN CHAIN/S
Only God! This is ‘Mark’. Mark walked into the shop just as we were opening and I was leaving – Coincidence: not GODINCIDENCE: For sure! He walked up to me and asked if I had a hammer because his chain broke on his bicycle. I didn’t have one, but Robin (an employee) did. Then Mark looked at us and said, ‘I need prayer’.
He said, ‘God must be trying to tell him something because this was the second day his ‘chain broke’ (get it – Broken Chains) in front of our sign and he looked up and it says ‘Drop in for Prayer’.
This time he crashed hard. Mark has had a hard life. In fact he should be dead. Just a couple days ago he found his friend dead in his house. He had overdosed. Mark knew about Jesus but didn’t know Him personally. I spent some time explaining a lot of things about the Lord. He listened intently. I then asked if he wanted to surrender to the Lord wholeheartedly 100%! And what it actually meant (no lukewarm or seeker friendly religion) He wanted to.
I led Mark in prayer and asked the Lord to baptize Mark in the Holy Spirit, which He did. Mark wept and afterwards said he felt much lighter (the REAL CHAINS WERE BROKEN!) We then walked Mark outside and I baptized him in water in the Courtyard while customers watched as they ate breakfast. People were amazed as they watched. Here’s the crazy part, I noticed Mark had some serious scars on his stomach and asked if had been knifed. He said no but almost died because he had a hernia and ignored getting treatment and then his appendix exploded and he had a massive hernia which pushed a large portion of his stomach into his testicles. He was at sea working and he should have died. However, the doctors only temporarily fixed him up, and Mark said he needed more surgery because he was getting worse again. He’s out of work and on the street and doesn’t have the money, so I put my hands on his stomach and prayed and asked Jesus for healing. What’s crazy is, I could’ve sworn I felt heat in my hand!
Robin fixed his bike with a ‘CHAIN BREAKER – see pic)
God blows my mind every day all day with Divine Encounters like this and it never ever gets old!
God is So Absolutely Good! – Shalom
🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

Spring 2022

Testimony:
So I’m in a rush to get to the grocery store for my wife (Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️) because she was cooking dinner and needed an item. She said to stop by the beach and check out the surf 🌊 to see if it was building. As I got to the beach, I realized I had wanted to set out my Talit and blow the shofar over the Gulf / waves 🌊 and Panama City Beach earlier but hadn’t done so yet. The Lord has assigned me as one of the Watchman over PCB and the beach, so I regularly practice this while declaring the Word of God over the beach and city. Upon arriving I saw there was a couple standing up on the Lookout walkway where I go to check the beach. I walked up onto the Lookout area and set it up while playing my prophetic music. This couple watched me kinda wondering what I was doing. I asked them if they didn’t mind what I was about to do and explained it to them. They smiled and said they knew what a Talit was and while we talked, I heard the Lord say this was supposed to happen because the man was sick and needed to be healed.
I told them it wasn’t a coincidence that it was a GODINCIDENCE that I was there and asked if the man was sick. He said yes. He had cancer. I then told him the Lord brought me there to heal him. They said they believed it. I covered them with a Talit and anointed them both with oil, and we prayed – it was powerful 🌊🔥 Holy Spirit and Fire! I truly believe, as well as them both that Jesus Christ healed him from cancer. They were here on vacation and said that this was the highlight of the vacation. I believe the Lord sent him to PCB to be healed! Glory Hallelujah our God is Absolutely Good!

Spring 2022

So this just happened:
This is Kim a regular customer and good friend. She is a Messianic Jew. She just had one of her hips replaced and is scheduled to have the other one done in a few weeks. She couldn’t stand or walk without her cane. Just recently at Physical Therapy, the lady who was working on her pulled her leg out which was not supposed to happen and made Kim’s condition worse. She was in severe pain and could barely walk upon arriving to the shop. Make a long story short, I sat Kim down on our Surfboard Prayer bench, covered her with my Talit and anointed her with oil. We prayed and Jesus COMPLETELY HEALED both of her hips! No pain, no cane,and she left walking out with both hips healed. Glory Hallelujah – we give all the praise and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Spring 2022

So this is how it is when you wait upon the Lord and only move at HIS Word and in accordance with HIS will:
I (Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️) knew that today is a critical point in place and time for this season and in the coming forth of what is unfolding / the Door/s being opened.
Today is Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4)
I inquired to the Lord that I wouldn’t make any plans today, and I was leaving it up to Him where and when He desired me to be. I didn’t know if I was supposed to be at church or a church, on the beach or what. All I knew is that I was going to have breakfast with some dear friends who are in town, and we were going to celebrate our ( my wife and I) 33 year Anniversary – WRONG!
‘We make plans, but it’s the Lord who directs our paths, so we are to hold on to our plans loosely’ (Proverbs 16:10)
The Lord changed it all up to accommodate HIS Kingdom work to be fulfilled this Pentecost Sunday.
My employee called in sick leaving the shop short handed, so I had to come in, but knew immediately it was GODINCIDENCE to have me here!
Upon arriving, I setup my music outside and prayed and anointed the property and building. As soon as I finished, the Lord sent the first Divine Appointment.
We’re not supposed to open for another hour and a half and a couple came in to shop. I let them in early, then boldly told them the Lord sent them in to answer a prayer – either they or someone they knew needed healing. The man began to weep and almost passed out! He couldn’t believe it – he knew the Lord was speaking to him. It was concerning his son. I can’t disclose the details because it’s confidential, but to make a long story short, the Word went out over his son – I, as well as they, believe he was healed and not only that both of them were baptized in the Holy Spirit 🌊and Fire! 🔥
Shortly after this, the Lord sent another group of young ladies to receive deep prophetic teaching and to be baptized in Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥!
It’s just begun – we’re SO BUSY and the Spirit of the Lord is moving mightily in this place. It’s absolutely amazing to see what HE is doing. Please keep us in your prayers. Y’all have an absolutely beautiful and amazing Pentecost Sunday. – Mommy 🏄‍♀️ and Daddy 🏄‍♂️ Surf 🌊

Summer 2022

Another very busy day of Kingdom business here at the shop. My name is John A. Johnson (aka Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ 🌊)
No coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE – that the Lord sent the Johnson family here to receive healing, prophesy, and Baptism of the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥 ! We all gathered at the Surfboard Prayer bench and I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil.
SO POWERFUL! They all wept as Holy Spirit did HIS work and HE gave me powerful words to prophesie over each one of them individually and then as a whole as family. It was absolutely amazing!
Shortly thereafter, another young man walked in (the Lord brought him in) who works on the beach. I was in infantry with the U.S. Marine Corps, as well as he was! Another GODINCIDENCE!
I sat him on the Prayer Bench, we prayed together, and he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! Again it was POWERFUL 🔥🔥🔥 I’ll be going to his beach to baptize him in water.
It’s a never ending flow of HIS Spirit as we ‘Ride the Tide’ of Revival one and or more people at a time – all day and everyday that we are open!
Once again I want to thank y’all for your prayers and support. It means SO MUCH to Lib and I and we love y’all dearly. Jesus is King and HE loves you!
Have an absolutely beautiful day.
I think I’ll take a short nap 😴

Summer 2022

Once again at the Surf Shop, it was nonstop from the moment we opened until closing the Spirit of the Lord moved mightily – Divine Appointment one after another. Deep teaching, prayer, baptism in Holy Spirit and Fire, and much prophesy foretold. These young daughters of King Jesus were literally ‘ROCKED!’ as they encountered Holy Spirit and came to a complete understanding of what the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire was. We had fellowship and prayed, and the Lord released powerful impartation and prophesy over their lives. It was an absolutely beautiful time. Keep these young ladies in your prayers – God has huge plans for their future!

Summer 2022

Another absolutely RADICAL DAY at the Surf Shop! The Lord literally turned this man’s truck (Mark) – around and he had to come into the Surf Shop. He came in because it was his time to encounter Jesus Christ and be filled with the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥 and he was completely healed! Notice both his arms are straight out- he couldn’t do that before because of the injuries and pain in his shoulders – he out in front of all our customers – the shop was full of people. It was POWERFUL!
Had a similar Divine Appointment yesterday evening also right before closing. A man – Adam said he and his family were down the street at Schooner’s on the beach. Adam said the Lord told him to go to the shop – right now! He was there right at the time I came in – GODINCIDENCE.
He, his wife, grandma and one of his sons were baptized in the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥 Adam and his wife began to speak in Tounges and they were totally overwhelmed by the presence of the Lord. They had a family of four and the Lord had me prophesie over them and anoint their young daughter – God will use her as His Daughter of Worship – she plays piano!
It’s NONSTOP everyday, all day and seems to be increasing! 🔥🔥🔥
God Is Absolutely Good!
It’s been a busy day and I’m pooped so I’m heading to bed early 😴
Y’all have an absolutely beautiful night and we’ll see you tomorrow.
Expecting another radical day. 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

Summer 2022

Good early Wednesday morning Y’all –
Looking like another beautiful day in PCB. I’ll come on later with the Beach 🏖 Report, but we’re not expecting any real surf 🏄‍♀️ 🏄‍♂️ activity for awhile except small wind waves 🌊 for skim and maybe for kids learning.
I’ve posted a couple pictures of our Surfboard Prayer Bench. We also use the bench as an ‘Alter’ on our Friday evening ‘Gathering at the Surf Shop’ we host each week at 6:30pm. All are welcome and we meet for fellowship, worship, prayer and Word. This Friday I have asked ‘Robin Canton’ to talk about a subject that the Lord has placed heavily on my heart. I truly believe we’re very near to a critical point in our nation and world, particularly, with the dreams the Lord has been giving me regularly- I record and date each one, and my wife is having them also (last night’s was a DOOZIE!).
Back to the ‘Surfboard Prayer Bench’ –
I, as well as others, have literally prayed with and for I’d say thousands of folks on this bench. It’s totally amazing when I think about it and all the Divine Encounters / Appointments that have taken place and the testimonies that have followed. It’s like we’ve been riding this board on the ‘Waves of Glory’ and riding the tide of heaven going with HIS Flow 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🌊🔥 It seems like the swell is getting larger and more consistent!
Now if you’re a surfer like Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ (Lib) and I (Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️) or ever rode a wave, you’d understand what it’s like. So many things, particularly when the swell is huge and epic – frightening & exhilarating at the same time. It’s so infectious that you crave another wave/ ride to come your way.
So today Lord, I pray send the ‘Waves’ that we may see You’re Glory come in like a ‘TSUNAMI’!
We love y’all and always are here to pray and fellowship with you. See you soon at the Surf Shop.

Summer 2022

MUCH HAPPENING! The prophesies are coming to fruition! Intensifying and escalating so much so that it’s exactly like it’s been foretold, the ‘TSUNAMI’ has arrived!
The dreams are back and my wife is also having them. Plus, we’ve been contacted by prophets and worshipers coming to the shop. I believe the Lord desires to release a Word tomorrow evening. I’m praying into it, because it’s been burning in my heart.
The Divine Appointments / Encounters are powerful and daily. (see posted Testimonies) Please keep my wife and I and all the Lord is doing in your prayers. We love y’all and greatly appreciate y’all’s prayers and support.
I’ll get a Beach Report up shortly – Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ and I (Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️) are heading out for an early morning paddle surf 🌊.
Prayer early early this morning;
Lord, I need your help and complete guidance to prepare all of me and my house for the ‘WEIGHT OF YOUR GLORY!’ I don’t know exactly how or what that looks like, but I desire more than anything to do my best to stay out of Your way. Lord, take me like clay, for You are my Potter, and form me in the vessel You desire to prepare me and use me in what You are doing and what You are preparing to do. I will remain pliable in Your Mighty Hands oh God as you kneed and smooth out the areas of roughnesses and perfect the areas that are smooth. My heart is yearning for more of You Jesus as the Father deeper and takes me higher into all of You Jesus and I exhume Your most beautiful reflection and fragrance in the world around me. Father – Yes I know that I am far from perfection, for I have not fully attained that which You called me, however, You see me perfect because of the sacrifice of Your One and Only Son Jesus Christ my King, my Lord and my Savior. As today is a new day, I know Your mercies are new every morning and I come humbly before Your great throne of mercy to receive grace in time of need. Father Lord, Jesus, today I will love you with ALL my heart, ALL my soul, ALL my mind, and ALL my strength. And, I will love others as You love me and I love myself.
Father God, Lord Jesus today I lay down my life as an alter of sacrifice to be used by you. I submit to You , oh God, and absolutely know the enemy MUST flee for it is written and sealed by the Authority and Precious Blood of Christ Your Son Jesus the Lamb who was slain. It is FINISHED!
So today I take up and bear Your armor, the full armor of God and suit up with the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, and shod my feet with the Gospel of Peace. Above all I take up the Shield of Faith wherewith I shall quench every fiery arrow of the wicked one, and I don my head with the Helmet of Salvation, keeping every thought captivated to and renewing my mind with the things of Christ, casting out all imagination. And I pick up the Sword of the Spirit. I yield the Sword (Word) of the Spirit (Prophetic) and break through every principality, power, spirit of darkness and spirit of wickedness in the heavenlies. For I know the Kingdom of heaven sufferers violence and the violent ones take it by force. I declare that I am a violent one! So today I will break through into heaven and release it here on earth, for Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done here on earth as it in heaven.
I declare I am strong! I am strong in the Lord Jesus Christ!
I declare Psalm 91 over my wife and I and all you have spoke over our lives this day. I declare VICTORY today in Christ Jesus!
Jesus use me today as You will.
I am Yours COMPLETELY!
So be it Amen!

Summer 2022

WOW 😮 – we prayed for fast healing and recovery for True’s leg on Friday. He sent in his picture this morning and I received his message yesterday. Jesus Christ healed his leg in two days!
God is SO absolutely good!
Here’s True’s note:
Thank you for the prayers last week. (I believe it was Friday) Here is a quick picture of before and after praying. Swelling went down by 1/2 and walking without cane now. Thank you Jesus

Summer 2022

The Lord brought this young man and his parents to Mr. Surfs Surf Shop to shop, purchase a new skimboard, but most of all to have a brief time of fellowship and prayer. While at the register, I noticed his mom speaking with Robin (our employee) and overheard her saying she couldn’t stop crying – it was the presence of the Holy Spirit. I just smiled. I approached them as they were leaving and asked if they would like to pray. We did and it was powerful! The Lord had me speak an unusual Word but very good word over them as a family. I said, ‘Wow, that was different never had the Lord have me release a Word like that before! God’s got this family in the GRIP of his hands. She (the mom)sent us a message: Thank you for your support Jaleigh Taylor! 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🌊
Mommy and Daddy Surf
🌴Do yourself a favor next time you’re in Panama City Beach and get your beach gear at Mr. Surfs Surf Shop! We’ve got ourselves a happy boy about to go skimboard in the rain!🤣
Came for gear, left with a good dose of The Word and prayer❤️
Jesus lovin’ beach people are our kind of people🙌🏼

Summer 2022

GOD IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
The first three pictures you see are of ‘Celeste’ – she and her family came in early this morning to the shop to attend our Special Sunday (Fourth of July Celebration) meeting to encounter Jesus Christ. The minute I saw Celeste enter the shop I knew why they were here, and why the Holy Spirit had me come in very early to pray and prepare for our special meeting. Celeste had on a body brace because she has scoliosis. The Lord not only brought her here to be healed, but to also teach, and pray over
the family to receive the Baptism of Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥 – which was fulfilled – all at the Prayer Bench. They were Christians but were never taught the full knowledge and understanding of what it is – Religion and Legalism plus what is called Cessationalism. It’s so sad but true.
To make a long story short – they all were baptized in the Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥 and MOST RADICAL of all – you see Celeste surfing with NO body brace. She was doing back flips off the board!!!
I’m still totally blown away – Jesus completely healed her. Hallelujah – we give all the praise and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It’s an absolutely beautiful warm sunny 🌞 day with clouds ⛅️ and small but fun surf. Water 💦 is clear emerald blue green and warm with Yellow flags.
Y’all have an absolutely wonderful Fourth of July Celebration 🇺🇸🎇
We’re Closed tomorrow. We love y’all and greatly appreciate y’all’s prayers and support. Jesus Christ is King and He loves you!

Summer 2022

Testimonies from the Surf Shop:
The Spirit of the Lord continues to move mightily here at the shop each day. I never know what to expect. All I know is that I come home each day so amazed and in wonder at how the Lord allows, and desires, all of us, to be used to touch and bless people we encounter with the resources and gifts He blesses us with until He calls us home or until He returns.
Picture –  The Cowgirl Surfers
These young ladies came to the coffee shop and surf shop with their moms to celebrate a birthday. They are from Dallas. At the unction of the Holy Spirit I introduced myself and ministered to them. The Holy Spirit gave me words directly related to the situation of one of the moms and she began to cry and knew it was the Lord speaking to her. It was a situation about her son, and she was there to be comforted and receive emotional healing. Both moms were brought in to be prayed over for emotional healing – a very powerful time on the Prayer Bench. I blessed them with surfboards for the day, so the girls could go surfing on the Birthday celebration. God is Absolutely Good (GIAG) 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️🌊
 

Summer 2022

 ‘Natalie’ and her brother ‘Armando’ Rivera from Orlando. The Lord brought them in to be prayed over and receive a Prophetic word – each. Natalie just started crying and said she didn’t know why. I knew it was Holy Spirit and let Him lead me in the prayers and words. It was another very powerful encounter. Natalie then looked at her brother and said, ‘Why are you crying?’
It was truly a beautiful encounter with Jesus. They both have very special callings on their lives.
There’s so much more that happens each day all day when we are open.
We had a young girl who is here for a Christian Camp and she injured her foot and was in pain. C she came up to me and said that the moment she stepped into the shop, her the pain left her foot!
It’s never a dull moment. Hope y’all have an absolutely beautiful weekend!
I’m heading out of town for a couple days because the Lord is sending me out on an assignment. Please keep me in your prayers. I love y’all and greatly appreciate y’all’s prayers and support!
Be safe and be blessed 😇
Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 over and out!

Summer 2022

These three young kids were a Divine Appointment set up at an EXACT location and an EXACT time – No coincidence, a GODINCIDENCE
I was supposed to be on the road to Vernon to work on our property very early because I wanted to work before the heat / temp got to high as I’m clearing land / bushwhacking the property by hand.
HOWEVER, at the unction of Holy Spirit I felt led to go to the County Pier to pray over and declare and decree the Word over PCB. Upon arriving and setting up, I observed these kids pull up and immediately knew the Lord had sent them there for prayer. They just arrived in PCB and couldn’t check into their room until later in the day. They walked directly towards me.
To make a long story short – I ministered to them, we prayed, and Holy Spirit gave me words of knowledge related directly to their situation/s and struggles leading into speaking into their lives with words of hope, edification, and particularly in one case, for healing. The young lady who needed deep emotional healing wept as I prayed for her. She was there to be set free from depression and anxiety. It was a very powerful encounter, and you had to be there to experience it. Jesus Christ set her free! God NEVER CEASES to completely blow me away!

Summer 2022

This couple came to the shop for prayer. They are faithfully stepping into positions of Pastor’s at a church that they were attending and the Pastor has retired and given the church over to them. Come to find out that one of them has a severe illness. We all prayed on the Surfboard Prayer Bench. They, as well as I, know the Pastor was completely healed. It was so powerful that we all began to sweat – the temperature around us got so hot – in an air conditioned building! Even our staff member said she felt it at the counter which is across the room. Also, when Holy Spirit moves like that the shop fills up with customers, as it did in this case, and they watch in wonder knowing something was happening. Some smile and know exactly what’s going on while others just have that look like it’s something they’ve never seen and or experienced! This is Marketplace Ministry – an Ekklesia – a Kingdom Business. Never a dull moment every day we’re open for HIS business.
Hope these testimonies lifted your spirit!
Y’all have an absolutely beautiful and blessed evening. I’m pooped and it’s going to be a very active week – I just know it for certain.

Summer 2022

The minute I stepped into the shop, the Lord had me declare, pray and prophesy over this beautiful family. Both parents are recovering addicts. Dad was there to receive the Baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire  – evidence is received prayer language. Mom had just recently received it. However, she had severe pain and immobility in her neck because she had broken it. Jesus Christ healed her completely – no pain & complete mobility restored! Hallelujah – thank you Jesus!
Hope y’all are inspired and encouraged by these testimonies. Remember it’s by the Blood ?? of the Lamb and Word of our Testimonies that the enemy is defeated. GO KICK THE DEVIL’S TEETH OUT!

Summer 2022

I was humbled and honored to pray and speak prophesy over and with this family. The Lord gave me a word of knowledge for one of the ladies stepson. And HE (the Lord) had me speak prophetic words over each one and every word HE gave me was spot on for every one of them. This is why it’s so important that we live / walk in Spirit and Truth during these trying times. When we do, the Holy Spirit can move freely as HE wills and the result is the evidence of the signs, miracles and wonders that occurred when Jesus walked among the people on earth. We are HIS vessels and HE desires vessels who are unashamed and willing to be used.
Hope y’all are inspired and encouraged by these testimonies. Remember it’s by the Blood 🩸 of the Lamb and Word of our Testimonies that the enemy is defeated. GO KICK THE DEVIL’S TEETH OUT!

Testimony

As I share this ‘Testimony’,
Luke 10:1-23 (Jesus sends out the 70) comes to mind with emphasis on verses 17-20:
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, BUT REJOICE THAT YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.”
Yes, it certainly is awesome being used to advance God’s Kingdom here on earth and see powerful signs, miracles and wonders, HOWEVER, it’s as Jesus Christ said,
‘REJOICE THAT ARE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN!’
Testimony:
God certainly ordains every hour and day of our lives when we just say, Yes Lord, use me!”
This is ‘Kenneth’ – the Lord set him in the exact location and at the exact time that I walked by as he sat on bench outside a restaurant that I wasn’t supposed to be at. However, because I was meeting another person- a God assignment – to pray for, I chose this particular place because it was an easy and well known landmark. (GODINCIDENCE)
As I walked to my truck to get my Talit and oil to pray for the man I was meeting, I passed Kenneth. He looked at me and asked if I was a holy man or a pastor. He said he was sitting there praying to the Lord to send him someone to give him spiritual advice, and he wanted to ask some questions and rededicate his life to Jesus because he had gone adrift. He said he felt Holy Spirit and sensed I was a pastor when I passed by. I said I was just a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ trying my best to do whatever and whenever the Lord led me. I told him it was no coincidence he was there, and I would return after I was through with another appointment. It’s crazy how this all goes down. It seems to be increasing and underneath I believe I know why.
To make a long story short, he asked me questions and we prayed. I covered Kenneth with the Talit and anointed him with oil. I asked the Lord to be baptize him in Holy Spirit and Fire. He basically went out for a few minutes, and then began to pray in Tounges for the first time! Come to find out he was prophesied over a long while ago and was told he had an apostolic calling on his life. He said back in the day, he’d go into projects and the Lord would use him to heal people. That the religious church would speak against him saying he was a false prophet – comes with the territory – I told him to get used to it and don’t let it stop him from doing the Lord’s work. Kenneth began to run into problems in life and ended up homeless. Well it all changed this day! Kenneth rededicated his life to Christ, definitely received the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire – evidenced by him speaking in Tounges. And I informed him to be prepared because the Lord was setting him up for what’s coming upon America. This never gets old. There’s a lot more to this story / testimony but this was meat of it. Again, all this is good – HOWEVER – it’s as Jesus Christ said in Luke 10:20 ‘REJOICE THAT ARE NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN!’
Think about it ‘HEAVEN’ with Jesus Christ! I often think about it and the absolute wonder of what it will be like FOR ETERNITY! It’s what keeps me going until He calls me home or comes back –
‘Keep on fighting the good fight’ and ‘Run your race well’. Jesus Christ is about to return. He let me know loud and clear in a very solid dream yesterday night. And HE said, ‘It’s much sooner than most realize!’
I truly believe it. 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

Word

“He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:8

Prophetic Word

(Post early October 2022 at daylight)
“I got up at dark very early morning hours and walked down to the lake to watch the sunrise. I was alone with the Lord.
I had my oil, shofar and Talit and played my prophetic music and prayed along the way. Holy Spirit was so strongly present. When I got to the lake and set up to watch the sun up, I turned on the music to the ‘Sound of the shofar’. As I did, immediately a large ‘flock of vultures’ (birds of prey) flew directly above me from where they nest at night in the forest. They flew out from the dark night towards the rising sun.
I knew the Lord was showing me something.
Revelation 19:17-21
The Beast and His Armies Defeated
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, 18 that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.”
19 And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
The ‘SHAKING’
Remnant arise! Glory Hallelujah! All praise and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Prophetic Word

Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ and I (Daddy Surf) are out in the country just north of the beaches spending quiet quality time together with the Lord and some friends. I love it out here because it’s so peaceful with nobody around, and as I went out on an early and long prayer walk, I played prophetic worship music enjoying God’s beautiful creation all around. As is usual, it’s out here I’m able to tap in and listen to what He (the Lord) may have to say to me. As I took this picture walking down a lonely backroad, this scripture came up in my spirit:
Isaiah 45:1-8
Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—
To subdue nations before him
And loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:
‘I will go before you
And make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.
I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.
For Jacob My servant’s sake,
And Israel My elect,
I have even called you by your name;
I have named you, though you have not known Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
I form the light and create darkness,
I make peace and create calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.’
“Rain down, you heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the Lord, have created it.

Testimony - Not Today Satan!

 ‘NOT Today satan – or any day at that! Only God could do something like this – plain and simple. This is Calvin. I have no doubt whatsoever that the Lord brought him into the shop this afternoon. Calvin is extremely gifted at natural landscaping / farming. We had him do our house about a year ago.
We’ll, first thing this morning as I was doing my devotion with the Lord and looking things up on my iPhone, Calvin’s post came across my scroll and I read where he mentioned he had just been diagnosed with a medical ailment and I immediately heard the Lord tell me what it was. Now here’s the crazy thing, I haven’t seen or heard from Calvin in almost a year, and as a matter of fact, I thought he had moved away. When I saw his post, I said Lord Jesus if you could only bring him into the shop, I know you would heal. Two things – one, I thought he had just posted it today but it was yesterday, so it’s no coincidence it came up first thing this morning on my scroll. Second, I was out of the shop all day today doing surf lessons and just happened to drop in to put our surfboards back AND at that exact moment Calvin stepped into the shop!
The minute I saw him, I knew the Lord brought Calvin in to be healed! What happened next, well you just had to be there to really experience it!
I immediately ran up to Calvin and told him he wasn’t there to get coffee – I said- Jesus led his steps into the shop to be healed, and I said, I not only knew we needed to pray but he was healed.
I grabbed my Talit and oil, took him to our Surfboard Prayer Bench, got Robin and Dorsie- two other employees and we all prayed. It was SO POWERFUL that the whole shop began to fill up with customers. That’s what happens when it goes down like this. Holy Spirit draws in more people and they watch in wonderment and also encounter His (Holy Spirit’s) presence as He does His work. Calvin was totally wrecked, tears dripping from his eyes and snot from his nose. Holy Spirit let me know that Calvin was dealing with lot more things and had me speak words of healing and edification into his body, soul and spirit.
Everyday I just keep getting more blown away by Him as I walk this most incredibly beautiful walk with Jesus Christ our King of kings and Lord of lords – Almighty Most High!
We magnify His Most Holy Name and give Him all the glory and honor – Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah AMEN🙏.

Met a lady at the register and we started talking about the Lord. As I more shared with her what I believed the Lord was doing, particularly in this day and season, she began to tear up. I knew she needed prayer and asked for her husband to come join us. We sat on the Surfboard Prayer Bench with Talit and anointing oil. Come to find out (GODINCIDENCE) she has my mother’s name (Janet) and her husband has my name (John) I just spoke the words Holy Spirit gave me to prophesy into their lives. They said they were drawn to the shop and it was exactly what they needed. Thank you Jesus – we give You all the honor and glory.

Testimony: I ministered to this young man many years ago when he was in High School. He got injured playing sports and got put on pain meds. Used them in a bad way, went down a dark path, and ended up in prison. Had an awakening moment when he spent time with his grandpa on his deathbed. The Lord led him straight to the Surf Shop (his car ran out of gas right at the shop – not a coincidence- a GODINCIDENCE!
He walked in wanted me to baptize. I sat him down and gave him the deep truth about the baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire and water baptism. Put him on the ‘Prayer Bench’ covered him with the Talit and anointed him with oil on Saturday.
He certainly got it! Holy Spirit and Fire!
I baptized him yesterday in the Gulf and his dad was there. He’d been waiting for this moment for a long hard time!
Know this – FREE in 2023!
Many prodigals are coming home!
Many captives will be set free!
The lost found, the sick healed and demons cast out!
Don’t miss what God is doing and it’s about to explode!
The devil don’t have a chance!
He’s DEFEATED!
Y’all have an absolutely beautifully blessed and wonderful night!
More Testimonies to come!
We love y’all and so much appreciate y’all’s prayers and support!
Jesus Christ is King and He loves you!

This Divine Appointment occurred last night at sunset, and this morning I found that the man (Paul)- no coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE, knew who I was. He tagged me to his encounter:- This is what he sent.
Divine Encounter: from Paul
(picture: Paul, Debbie & Destiny)
‘God showed up and showed out to bless us with an Amazing sunset followed by a true God Encounter. There was a gentleman down the pier from me blowing a shofar as the sun disappeared over the horizon. We began to talk and I realized he’s John Anthony Johnson the owner of Mr Surf’s surf shop. After talking with us he prayed over me and the Holy Spirit was strong with us at that moment. I thank God for being with us on our last afternoon in PCB.’
I will be posting their POWERFUL testimony about their ‘miracle baby granddaughter – Destiny) in the picture later on today. However, I felt impressed by Holy Spirit to post this word this morning:
I truly believe we have just entered into (2023) a very strategic and delicate time.
‘God’s elect’ is mentioned in scripture 17 times (Is. 42:1 & 45:4 & 65:9 & 65:2;
Mk 24:24 & 31; Mk 13:22 & 27; Lk 18:7; Rm 8:33; Col. 3:12; 1 Tim. 1:21; and more.
I believe it’s imperative we, as ‘God’s elect’ are so ‘ON POINT’ / ‘INTENTIONAL’ in our walk with Jesus Christ, that Holy Spirit will lead us each day hour by hour to encounter people and be used in the most absolutely powerfully amazingly beautiful ways!
I wasn’t going to go to the pier last night to blow my shofar and pray. My plan was just to ride down the street on my bike and take a picture of the sunset. However, at the last moment and nudge of Holy Spirit, I felt I had to go to the St. Park, with the shofar, Talit and anointing oil to pray for our nation and that there would be someone needing prayer. And so it was – the Testimony you see above from Paul, in addition, there was another young lady who also needed prayer and wept when I prayed with her.
Here’s something for y’all – last night I asked the Lord for a dream to help me and reveal more of what He desires. AND sure enough! – He gave me two powerful dreams, one of which I believe He was protecting me and warning me, and the second I believe He revealed what He desires me to do this Spring 2023.
The reason I’m putting all this forward is because I truly believe that all this can only happen if we are extremely serious with our walk with Him and in our faith. It’s a time that WE CANNOT CUT ANY CORNERS! This can only be accomplished by complete surrender, commitment, discipline, perseverance in spending time with Him in prayer and worship, His Word, and communion with our fellow brothers and sisters.
This is the time – this is the moment!
Let’s do this! We are the EKKLESIA!
Advancing His Kingdom (the Kingdom of God) on earth. Hallelujah Praise Jesus Christ, King of kings & Lord of lords.
It is Finished! Now take the Keys, put on His full armor, pick up your cross and run the race He has set before you!
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God.
Y’all have an absolutely beautiful day and I’ll get the Surf Report up shortly.

Testimony: This is Joe (Joseph)and his wife Cheryl. Joe used to be in the military. Upon getting out, he and his wife moved to PCB from Washington. Cheryl discovered our Facebook and has been following us and mentioned it to Joe. He felt impressed to come to the shop for prayer. They came by FAITH this afternoon – Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords healed Joe, AND they both received the baptism of Holy Spirit 🌊and Fire🔥AND Joe got baptized in water💦 . Here’s what went down in short: For many years, Joe suffered from severe PTSD, body pain to the extreme, particularly to his back and neck. Upon arriving he couldn’t walk well at all (note cane) and could not stand up straight. Holy Spirit led me exactly what to do and say, and within a twenty minute plus lesson in the Word / scripture (the Lord has gifted me with words / teaching) they said they learned more than years of attending church. What’s even more amazing, is that they came in yesterday, and I was out of town and Robin (staff employee) had a vision of me praying for Joe and standing with him smiling – see picture. Robin also saw Hunter (Fellow Brother in Christ) in the vision AND Hunter came in to the shop as we were praying for Joe and Cheryl! He said the Lord led him there at that moment! As we prayed for Joe for complete healing and both he and his wife for the baptism of Holy Spirit 🌊and Fire🔥, the room temperature increased significantly and Joe was completely covered in sweat. The air conditioner was on in the shop! It was SO POWERFUL – only being there could you really get a grip on what the Lord did. Joe wept like a little boy thanking Jesus over and over as HE held Joe and let him know how much HE loved him. The Lord also gave me a Word for them – oh yeah and it was AWESOME!
To top it off, we’ve been desiring / asking the Lord for a worshipper and Cheryl plays violin! The Lord connected them with us, and they’ll be coming regularly to our shop and being involved with all the things God is doing here.
No more cane – No more Pain!
It’s all about Jesus!
It’s been totally OFF THE RICHTER SCALE with what the Lord has been revealing and speaking to me these last couple weeks leading into 2023.
All I can say is BE READY folks –
God is moving MIGHTILY and it’s only going to get so much better!
I’m so pumped, I can hardly sit still.
Y’all have an absolutely beautifully blessed 😇 night – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 over and out!

Testimony from the Surf Shop:
Holy Spirit impressed upon to go to the shop early to pray and anoint the shop and property. The coffee shop had just opened (7am), and as I walked in there was a couple there to get coffee. The Lord highlighted them as I walked by, but I didn’t sense anything else. I went into the Surf Shop side which was Closed and dark because we didn’t open till 9am. As I prepared to pray, a lady (one of the couple) had slipped into the shop unnoticed, although it was clear we hadn’t opened yet. I went over and said excuse me mam, but we’re not open yet and she said sorry I’ll leave. I replied, no you don’t understand, the Lord brought you here. I’m not supposed to be here and neither are you and this is His House (I pointed up) and He brings people here every day to be ministered to. The moment I saw you and your husband, Holy Spirit highlighted y’all now you’re here in front of me and we need to find out what y’all need prayer for. Her eyes began to water up and she said this is crazy, I believe you because of what happened last night. I said, okay now we’re getting somewhere – let’s ask Holy Spirit. She said her and her husband felt led at the spir of the moment to go to PCB, got a hotel yesterday, and last night as they ate dinner they met missionaries and spent all night hanging out with them and had the best time. She also said that they felt they had to come to this coffee shop. As I listened, I realized something and said, WAIT A MINUTE! Are the missionaries going to England? She said YES! eyes wide open – I said, ’Are their names Shane and McKenzie?!’ Now she was really surprised, as well as I, and said, ‘YES!’ I then said that’s absolutely amazing because those missionaries came to our shop the day before and asked me to pray for them! Now how is that possible – only God!
Absolute – GODINCIDENCE!
So, now we needed to find out why the Lord brought her and her husband in.
To make a long story short, this is what Holy Spirit did through the entire encounter / time.
Cody N Britney Grube joined me:
We both prophesied over them and, actually, Holy Spirit gave us both words of knowledge for each of them and their family members. The couple was completely blown away by the accuracy of the information. Holy Spirit also gave me instructions for the girl on how to set up a ministry for her daughter and her friends – she teared up the whole time as it resonated with her spirit.
Cody was able to help her husband with some dreams he was having and what to do – spot on and actually in scripture!
We ministered to them for over an hour. And to top it off – they sat on the Prayer Bench, anointing oil and Talit, and I asked the Lord to baptize them in Holy Spirit 🌊 and Fire 🔥and WOW did it happen – it got so hot!
They didn’t know about it but when it was all said and done – it was DONE!
Hallelujah – Hallelujah – Halleluja!
Praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It never gets old.
Below is a picture of the missionaries Shane and McKenzie
Please keep them in your prayers, as they’ll be going into a very challenging area of 89% Muslim population with hardly any presence of Christianity.
Hunter and I got to pray with them, and my wife and I sowed into their mission work. When I did, Holy Spirit immediately spoke to me and said HE (the Lord) was stretching out our canopy and expanding the territory to plant tent pegs abroad in other nations from the shop without us even leaving – so cool 😎 The Lord also said others would come.
Be ready people – GOD IS MOVING MIGHTILY!
Y’all have an absolutely night and we’ll be seeing y’all soon.

Testimony from the Surf Shop:
I absolutely LOVE what Jesus Christ does and how He orchestrates life to be beautiful and exciting. He never ever ceases to amaze me, and with each act of His Mighty Hand, He takes me higher and deeper in love with him and strengthens my faith with each Divine Appointment He sends my way.
Pictured below is Ellie (daughter) and Angie (mom) in town visiting for the weekend. Upon coming into the shop, Holy Spirit immediately highlighted ‘Ellie’ and I knew the Lord brought her in, but He hadn’t given me a word as to why. I’m learning to slow down, press in and hear His voice each time I sense He (Holy Spirit) is wanting to use me in a situation. I do this whether I’m in the shop or out and about. Remember ‘Salvation’ is absolutely free, and it costs us nothing – it cost Him (Jesus) everything. However after that begins things such as complete trust, surrender, commitment, discipline in time, fellowship and worship with Him (Christ our King) each day. And as we do, we’re sanctified day by day, becoming closer in Him and maturing into Him (His image). As we do, all begins to unfold and everything He created us for is played out in our life day by day thus creating a (God’s) beautiful song and picture on earth.
As this process takes place, and it’s a process that never ends, Holy Spirit leads us according to the will of our Papa God – that’s who I call Him.
Back to ‘Ellie’ – as she and her mom were about to leave, I asked if there was anything I could pray for them about. I hadn’t said a word about Holy Spirit highlighting Ellie. The mom said not really, but Ellie said she needed prayer for school. I immediately heard Holy Spirit speak – STRESS / WORRY / ANXIETY! I then told them I knew she ‘Ellie’ was there for a reason because the moment I saw her, Holy Spirit put a spotlight on her! I told Ellie your stressed out and full of worry and it’s weighing you down.
NOTE: This is not only detrimental for your health but keeps you moving forward in life and can affect family, school, work , etc.
We all went to the ‘Surfboard Prayer Bench’ with Talit, anointing oil and all we sat and prayed. Holy Spirit did His thing bringing and restoring peace and joy in Ellie’s inner woman (spirit) removing the chains of stress, anxiety, depression and worry. She wept like a baby and mom was tearing up also. HOWEVER – here’s the awesome thing about all this:
As Holy Spirit gave me the words to pray, out of ALL THE SONGS that come out over our PA system in the shop,
Housefires ‘I’ll give thanks’ came on – singing, ‘God’s not worried, so why do you worry?’ at that exact moment!!!
ABSOLUTELY A GODINCIDENCE!
I SO love when He does stuff like that.
I’ll continue to post these TRUE ‘Testimonies from the Surf Shop’ not only do they bring to memory His goodness and faithfulness in my life, but I have many people tell me how much they enjoy them and encourage them and to keep posting them – so I do!
Y’all have an absolutely beautifully blessed 😇 day.
My wife (Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ 🌊 & Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ 🌊) and I love ❤️ y’all and so much appreciate y’all’s prayers and support! Until next time, we’ll see you on the beach 🏝 and in the water 🌊 – Daddy Surf over and out!

2023

This evening’s sunset as I set up an Alter to praise and worship the Lord. I prophesied and set declarations and decrees for the church and our nation and nations of the world and blew the shofar.
The Lord has been downloading and revealing some incredible stuff, particularly, these past few days. AND, He has sent some very heavy and significant Divine Appointments / Encounters impacting and moving me mightily forward into this magnificent journey He has me (and my wife) on into 2023!
I’m SO excited and ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM SO MUCH! My King, my Lord and Savior. I encourage y’all to keep on keeping on no matter what things look like or how impossible it seems.
Ephesians 3:14-20
‘For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Holy Spirit WOULD NOT let go of me, and although we’re supposed to be CLOSED today because it’s our Sabbath, Holy Spirit spoke loud and clear to open a couple hours. I knew HE would send someone in but didn’t know why?
To shorten the story, a friend Claudia P. Spinks – Ramirez was leaving just as I pulled up – GODINCIDENCE and confirmation. She brought her sister in to meet me. She is from Chile 🇨🇱 and speaks very little English. Holy Spirit revealed she was there to be baptized in Holy Spirit and fire. I knew she was boxed up in religion. She had been baptized in water.
I taught, Claudia translated. Her sister knew nothing about the Holy Spirit.
I clearly showed her in scripture what, why and how God would bapitze her in His Spirit (Holy Spirit) if she desired it. Her eyes teared up as I spoke, so I knew she was ready to receive. I also explained about receiving her prayer language but had no idea what the Lord would do.
We all sat on the Surfboard Prayer bench (our Altar) I wrapped her in the Talit and anointed her with oil, and together asked Holy Spirit to fill her. She said, ‘Mis manos estan caliente!’ Translation: ‘My hands are hot!’ Then she began to weep and weep and began to pray in toungues! She was completely overwhelmed to say the least.
I couldn’t help but cry myself as I felt so humbled and honored to be used by the Lord in such a way. Mission accomplished – I knew exactly why Holy Spirit had me open the shop. I closed after they left.
Y’all have a wonderful day and we’ll see you tomorrow. – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ over and out!

2023

I met two young college students and asked if they were with a youth group. Then I asked them if I could pray with them. We all went to the Prayer Bench, Talit and anointing oil. It was powerful, but the crazy thing is:
1. Someone had told them before they ever came to the shop that they would walk into a store and someone would approach them and ask them if they were with a youth group, and that the person would pray with them!
2. When Holy Spirit gave me the words and scriptures to speak, they were the scriptures that they had read / studied earlier in the morning!
And, come to find out, they’re about to go their first mission trip to a foreign country.
It was a Divine Appointment and God confirmed it all.
Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday a key First Fruits and God ordained holiday. I will be pressing in early early early morning in devotion and prayer and prepare for what I’m anticipating to be an absolutely radical day at the shop! Beaches are packed and we’ll have people from all over come in.
If you would like prayer – I will be there most of tomorrow till late afternoon. We open at 8am.
Y’all have a wonderful night and be blessed 😇 – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ over and out!

Testimony:
FACT: God (the Father), Jesus Christ His One and Only Son and Holy Spirit (our Counselor/ Comforter) He is Three in One are REAL!
Holy Spirit empowers us to do, not only the works Christ did, but even greater works! (John 14:12)
FACT: When we commit to do the work / ministry God has called us to do, there are times when you will what I say is ‘tick’ the enemy and or forces of darkness off, and they will try to intimidate you mostly by using tactics of ‘fear’ as was in this case.
These two girls were here on a Christian ‘Ladies Retreat’ and were brought to the shop for prayer.
Both had strongholds that needed to be broken off and they both needed healing emotionally and physically.
We all sat at the Surfboard Prayer Bench and I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil, as I most often do. HOWEVER, I only do this to honor Jesus Christ and lift Him up as a memorable – it is not a necessary practice. And yes, it was very powerful as Holy Spirit did His work and healing came upon them both. One in particular had a very powerful stronghold and when it was lifted / broken off we immediately felt it – powerful! Here’s what happened afterwards:
The enemy was ‘ticked’ off! And when the woman entered the bathroom, the soap dispenser was torn off the wall (see picture) and thrown to the ground. It scared the woman, but I reminded her it was only intimidation. An example: If I pick this cup of water and toss it over there would that scare you? – Certainly not. It often works that way with the enemy. He’s a defeated foe and can only try to intimidate us. We must stand in the confidence knowing, without a doubt, that Jesus Christ gave us back the authority (see scriptures below) over satan and all his forces of darkness. They still have power, however, Jesus Christ stripped them of their authority and we have AUTHORITY over ALL the power of the enemy and by no means nothing can harm us! (Luke 10:19)
As soon as the shop was closed later that day, I stayed behind to what I call ‘Clean the house’. I prayed heavily over the entire shop and anointed it with oil as we often do. You’ll often see a few of us (our Team) walking around praying, anointing and blowing the shofar on a regular basis. I truly believe this keeps the ‘house / shop clean’ and an open well of ‘Living Water 💦’ flowing. Y’all have an absolutely beautiful and amazing day. We’ll get the Surf Report up shortly. – Daddy Surf over and out!
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
BUT GOD says to us (those who not just believe but also live in obedience)
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power (that word is actually authority – original text) to tread on serpents and scorpions, (all the forces of evil / darkness) and over all the power of the enemy (satan):and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
John 10:10 The thief (satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus Christ) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

‘The Bride and the Bridegroom’
There are times when the Lord shows me things in the ‘natural’ which correlate in the ‘supernatural’ as what occurred last week when I took a day to go to a special place (Watercolor) just West of PCB. It’s quiet and has absolutely amazing and beautiful landscapes. I like to spend quiet time with the Lord, listening to prophetic music and reading scriptures. I found a place all to myself, nestled in, turned on the music and listened to a message by ‘Radient Israel’ and was reading the scripture below.
Matthew 25:1-13 The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.
What happened as I sat there was absolutely NOT a coincidence but a GODINCIDENCE without a doubt!
A man (in pic – Bridegroom) showed up in a suit, and a woman was with him carrying a camera. Here I am reading and listening to the message and observing this event happening right before me – out of all the locations and at that exact time – I knew the Lord was revealing / speaking to me.
However, what I noticed was that I didn’t see a Bride anywhere in sight. I watched as the woman/ photographer took pictures then all of a sudden about a half block away the Bride appeared in a white gown adorned to meet her Bridegroom!
He, the Bridegroom had his back to her as she approached from behind.
As I sat and watched all this happening, I inquired of the Lord why and what was He revealing / speaking to me. Then I realized something powerful. We the church (Bride) are awaiting for the arrival of the Bridegroom (Jesus Christ). However, that’s not what was taking place AND at every wedding the Bridegroom always awaits for his Bride. WOW ?? what a revelation!
I heard the Lord say, ‘John, I (Jesus Christ – the Bridegroom) await for My Bridegroom- the Church) to come out and come forward. It’s time to AWAKEN!
This is the time of AWAKENING!
Now if that doesn’t rattle your bones, I don’t know what will.

I met Rachelle and JL as soon as I walked into the shop this morning – no coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE! After speaking with them for awhile, I felt impressed by Holy Sprit to pray with them to receive Holy Spirit and fire – the evidence speaking in tounges. I sat them on the Prayer Bench, covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil. I explained everything directly according to scripture. JL said WOW it all made perfect sense. To make a long story short, we prayed, the power of God’s Holy Spirit and fire fell n us all and it got HOT! People were watching while shopping in the store and could not deny the power moving upon us and it filled the atmosphere. Rachelle immediately began to pray in her spirit language. JL was hot. Here’s the  response I received from Rachelle: 

“POWERFUL. That’s the only word that can sum up this morning’s encounter with the Lord through John at Mr. Surf’s.
We have been wanting to go here for a long time as we’ve heard testimonies and stories of the awesome things happening through the Holy Spirit in this place! Today was the day we were meant to walk inside.

Because of the Explore PCB Game during Jeep Jam, we needed to go to Finns to get the points in the game. So we decided morning coffee would be a great time to go as they had just closed 11 minutes prior to us getting there yesterday. We walked in and John was the first person we saw. Several hours later, we left filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit, prayed over, declared over, and received more confirmation with divine meetings and connections.

Today, I received my prayer language which I have been yearning for for some time now. The enemy tried to convince me I wasn’t worthy of a prayer language. But my God met me on that prayer bench as I pictured Him embracing me and me falling at His feet. There He filled me with fire and so much spiritual energy that my body was shaking, tears were flowing, and I was sweating from every pore as my lips moved and a word that I myself do not know what it means left my mouth again and again. When it was all over, I felt so full yet so consumed at the same time. Surrender is such a beautiful feeling.

As God continues to surround us with more divine connections, our ministry grows, our faith grows, our power & authority grows…and we are ready! Ready to serve the Lord, learn more about Him, lean more into Him, and do more through Him. To Him goes ALL the glory yesterday, today, and forever. 🙌

These two ladies contacted me because they wanted to be baptized in the Gulf waters. I told them, as I always tell everyone who wants to be baptized, to come to the shop early and bring everyone in who will be there because I like to talk with everyone. Almost every single time this occurs –  As I explain that’s it’s much more about just receiving the baptism of water unto repentance that ‘John the Baptist’ spoke of, he talks of the One who would come even greater the he and would baptize in the Holy Spirit and fire, usually the entire family come to a new revelation and understanding and they ALL receive the baptism of Holy Spirit. Some even break out speaking in tounges and other just weep and weep. We go literally go through boxes of tissues a month – no joke! And yes, other than the two ladies getting baptized in the Gulf, they all received the baptism of Holy Spirit! Halleluiah – we give God all the glory and honor.

‘Not today satan!’
This is ‘Paul’. Holy Spirit led him here to be delivered from taunting and demonic spirits. Paul admitted he had walked away from the Lord, opened portals of darkness and listened to the lies of the enemy, thus began a life the enemy would like every one of us to live; Chasing the pleasures of the world, satisfying our fleshly desires and relinquishing the authority Jesus Christ redeemed back to all of those who truly believe AND CHOOSE by free will to serve and follow Him – Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords. The ONLY Way, Truth and Life AND nobody can come to the Father except through Christ!
Paul was sitting at the edge of our property with a load of items he had gathered off the beach to sell to people passing by. He was homeless, jobless hungry, and admitted he had been doing drugs. I was driving by and a young man behind me had stopped his car to give Paul some food. I called Paul over and told him that the police would not allow him to set up but I would gladly help him out. The kid behind me was about to leave when I told him that more than physical bread, Paul needed spiritual bread, and I was going to pray with him. The kid followed me over to Paul. I spoke with Paul sharing the Gospel and explaining that Jesus Christ had the authority to set him free from all the strongholds that were holding him bondage, but only he could ask Him (Jesus) to be delivered and if so, that he would have to serve and follow Him the rest of his life. As Paul wept, he said he felt chills all over his body and his hairs were standing on end. I said it was Holy Spirit. Paul rededicated his life to the Lord right there on the street as cars were going around us, some even slowing down to watch. Here’s the wild part, before this happened, I asked Paul if he desired to be delivered because I knew what would go down. I also told the kid who was with me that I wanted him to see how real this was because I knew the church he goes to doesn’t function in the
Five-fold ministry, and most likely never encountered what was about to go down. And – it went down!
In the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach and by the Power of His Blood, I began to command the spirit and or spirits to leave. I believe it was the first time that the kid saw this, (he got out of there fast right afterwards) and at times there were cars slowing down observing everything going on. The reason I post this is because I know for certain as we progress into the prophetic timeline and new generation, these things will be seen more and more not just on the streets but everywhere!
God is raising up a ‘Remnant’ of warriors, fearless and bold, standing and fighting in Truth and Love, but holding no bars back.
We are to be His ambassadors on the earth advancing His kingdom (Kingdom of Light) against the kingdom of darkness.
And particularly important, to be completely submitted and obedient to Christ’s commission: (Mat. 28:18-20)
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
As I brought Paul into the shop, I told him what to expect. I said it was imperative that he get connected to like-minded brothers and sisters to continue to receive discipleship which was imperative to remain free. I gave him some contact information and helped him out with the situation he was in. He said that he was going to come back, which I am sure he will within the next few days.

Spring Break 2023

Thank you Josh-Megan Lunsford for your testimony – much love and much needed – Daddy Surf
Testimony:
About this moment When Josh and I started talking about a possible vacation for a few days, Panama City Beach was not on our radar. We considered several places in South Carolina and maybe even somewhere more local, but God had a different plan. When nothing else worked out, we remembered that our friends from church have a place in Panama City and that’s where Mr. Surfs Surf Shop was located. I had nothing but not so healthy spring break memories until this time, but had heard of John and his shop and always wanted to see it for ourselves. So we messaged our friends about their place and the dates we were looking for were available. Even though it didn’t make a lot of make sense, it felt right so we said yes. Several obstacles came up the week or two before we left and some that caused us to debate canceling our trip. But as we were praying and asking God what He wanted for us and what we needed to lay down, I kept hearing “Florida, Florida” so clearly as the thing we needed to keep and not move away from. So despite the many reasons to stay home, we went. Oh my!! On Sunday, we stepped into John’s shop for a quick visit to see what everyone had told us about. Little did we know that he was there and had just finished ministering to someone before coming over to greet us. Within seconds, we were talking Kindgom things and he offered to pray over us. He took us to the surfboard prayer bench and prepped us with oil and a prayer shawl. He sat before us to inquire of The Lord and spoke a very simple word of knowledge: “This is just the beginning (for you two).” Tears burst out uncontrollably! John didn’t know that we had just talked about this exact word on our way to Florida. We were driving through a town and could feel a shift in the spirit and Josh heard clearly – “This is a new beginning!” Several people had also spoken over us in the past half year that whatever God was doing in our lives, this was just the beginning. What’s so special about John’s word was that he didn’t know us at all. And he had no idea the enemy had whispered a thousand times over that our best days were behind us and our health/bodies were not getting any better. I have laid in fear and disappointment night after night feeling like I was closer to the end than any sort of beginning. And that the things we did and saw in the last 11 years were about all we would see. But God!! John went on to say a few more beautiful and confirming things over us and we can’t thank him enough for how submitted he is to the Holy Spirit and to the Kingdom work The Lord has called he and his wife to. I have no doubt a lot of the spiritual uptick we are seeing in the world today (revivals, movements, outpourings, etc.) are an overflow from things that were birthed in his shop. If you are ever in PCB, you have to stop by and see all the Lord is doing. May He continue to be magnified on the earth through his devoted followers!!

Spring 2023

I’ve been in awe this past week, as I’ve seen and been so humbly used by the Lord in the most amazing ways. It would take at least a week to write all the testimonials that have occurred. For now, I’ll share the one of the picture of the four girls standing with me in the Courtyard:
A week ago, a group of girls on college Spring Break came to the shop – there were actually a total of seven- three had already left thus only four in the picture.
Day one – last Sunday I met them, asked where they were from, did they just get into town (yes) and thanked them for coming to eat at Finn’s. Little did I know that Holy Spirit had a tremendous plan set up for every single one of them!
After eating their breakfast, four girls wandered over to the shop and again we chatted. This time Holy Spirit spoke to minister to them which I did. He (Holy Spirit) gave me ‘words of knowledge’ about each one – ie what they did, what they’re talents were, what was going on in their lives, and even information about their futures (prophecy). They were totally blown away because I had never met them and everything Holy Spirit told me to say was spot on! Btw – I was totally blown away also as I always am!
We prayed together in the middle of the Surf Shop and the power of God fell on us.
I believe for certain it was the first time that the girls encountered the Lord in such a way by their reactions. They all said that they were surely coming back, and coming back every day which they just about did the rest of the week! I watched them leave and tell their other friends about what had just happened. Again little did I know what God was up to.
Next morning I awoke and was getting ready to head out to the shop, and I saw a group of kids on Spring Break renting a house across the street from ours. I grabbed a business card and walked over to invite them and tell them about Finn’s Barista Bar. As I approached them they said, ‘Hey John it’s us! You prayed over us yesterday and we were just getting ready to head over to have açaí bowls. No coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE – because the story gets WAY BETTER!
The girls continued to come in each day and I would greet them. However, I sensed that the Lord had put them directly across the street from our house. I mentioned that to them and they all agreed it wasn’t a coincidence. We talked about that – no such thing as Coincidences only GODINCIDENCES, and it opened the door to minister to them each day. On the third day as I was doing my quiet time devotion with the Lord, the Lord spoke saying, ‘John, they know about Me, they have been taught religion not relationship, however they don’t know Me. I (God) desire to baptize them in my Spirit (Baptism of Holy Spirit and fire ) I want you to disciple them and teach them about the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire and ask them if they want to receive it. Well me, I was hesitant at first and the next day I saw a few of them we just talked, but deep inside Holy Spirit was really knocking on me because I didn’t follow through.
The next morning again in my quiet time, the Lord spoke and said the same thing only this time it was much stronger! He also gave me specific instructions about one girl and another to directly tell them how they were brought up and what they were struggling with. When I would do that the whole group would know that it was the Lord because I didn’t know anything about these girls.
I knew they were leaving soon, so I didn’t know if I’d get a chance to see them all together one last time.
BUT GOD!
As I left the house and walked into the shop, there they all were – I knew what I had to do. They were all sitting at a table and I asked if I could sit and chat. They said yes and were excited, like they were expecting something. I asked if they had some time because the Lord had asked me to share some things with them. They said yes. I immediately pointed out the two girls who the Lord had told me about and let them know what HE said. All the girls were blown away and one in particular began to cry. I spent about over an hour time with them sharing scripture, showing exactly where, what and why the God was Three in One (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) Fire – Water – Wind We all went deep into the Word, some had questions, they all were like dry sponges soaking up every word. It was absolutely beautiful.
I told them that the Lord had been on me the last couple days and said that one if not all of them would receive His baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire. Which btw – it was the first time it was revealed / taught to them.
When I was done I said that I had to go work, but at anytime they wanted I would pray for each of them. And one by one they began to come over to the Surf Shop side and I prayed with them on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, Talit and oil.
One a Hebrew/ Jewish girl gave her life to Jesus Christ and received the baptism of Holy Spirit.
Four more received the baptism of Holy Spirit
Two desired to receive their prayer language (Pray in Tounges) and boy was it POWERFUL!
All I can say is Wow just WOW!
GOD is the Most Amazing Father!
I absolutely love my Papa God – that’s what I call Him.
Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords. The end times are here people. Look around – we’re in it!
Are you ready for our King?!
He loves you and desires a personal relationship. It cost you nothing but cost Him everything to open the door that no man can open and no man can close. Get in NOW before it’s too late. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and Life!

Spring Break 2022

I was contemplating on if I should post this testimony or not. However, this morning as I was about to leave it alone, I just felt deep down inside it had to be posted not just to encourage people but also as a WARNING. There are many scriptures which forewarn us of ‘false teachers’, ‘false prophets’ and referred to as ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’. I met a family in the shop who, unfortunately, been strapped to and carried the weight of a ‘lie’.
I believe this is a very powerful lying spirit and is a strong spirit directly linked to the father of lies / satan. Words had been spoken over them by one or maybe even more of such the above and the entire family was being tormented by it!
BUT GOD!
First this scripture: Joel 2:28
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and YOUR DAUGHTERS (emphasis for testimony) shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions”
Testimony: I was upstairs assisting a customer about purchasing a surfboard, and we were talking about the Lord and Kingdom business. A family was looking around also and with them was their little girl, maybe around eight years old. As I began to leave to go back downstairs, the little girl (the one in the tie-dye shirt) approached me and said these exact words, ‘Excuse me sir, I feel an anointing on you. Are you a pastor or something? The Holy Spirit is on you.’
To say I was totally shocked 😮 is an understatement. I’m thinking ‘God, what is this! A little girl out of nowhere comes up to me, as serious as she can be and says this. I said, ‘No not really in a sense that most people would think of a pastor but I guess you could say that.’ She just smiled and then began to tear up, and I could see and sense this little girl had a special and powerful anointing upon her. Her parents came upstairs and we began to talk. I introduced myself and told them that their daughter was, I believed, very prophetic. They said they knew because of how close to God she was. It opened the door wide for me to disciple them explaining the deeper meaning / teaching of the prophetic referring it all to scripture. It was certainly Holy Spirit speaking through me, and the entire family listened intently, and teared up as they soaked in every word.
I explained the Five-Fold Ministry and why it was so important. After a good while I said that I must pray with them downstairs at the ‘Prayer Bench’. They were delighted, however, the mother had me stay for a minute to explain some things that had happened and was going on with the family, particularly her husband and little girl – Whoa – not good!
I knew it was WAR TIME and assured her that God would take care of it all TODAY! It was not a coincidence that they had come in. It was certainly a GODINCIDENCE that Holy Spirit led them here.
When I came downstairs, Jenn, our employee, knew I was serious and asked what she could do. All I told her was to be ready because the Lord was about to do something big. I prepared the atmosphere by shutting down our music and turning on prophetic music I listen to when I’m soaking / praying heavily in the spirit, something I never do. I actually turned it up and could immediately sense and see the shift in the atmosphere by the way folks who were in the shop reacted. As I most always do, I sat the family on the bench, Talit and anointing oil, plus we all removed our shoes. I began to not just pray but COMMAND in and with the Authority of Christ against the stronghold/s which were coming against this beautiful family.
Here’s what happened:
The Power of God came upon us, the temperature rose to such a level we ALL began to sweat, everyone in the shop couldn’t deny something was happening, the shop as most always does when this happens, began to fill up with customers (Holy Spirit draws them in) they come around where we’re at looking like they’re shopping but observing very curiously to what’s going on. The entire family wept and wept and wept as Holy Spirit healed and did His work, and gave me words of prophecy over each one of them.
In all honesty, I can slightly recall that it’s been only a few times that I’ve sweated like I did because of the increased heat around us – totally mind boggling.
I believe it was the ‘righteous anger’ rising up inside of me (Christ living in me) coming against that ‘father of lies – satan’ that was tormenting this family. It welled up inside of me, plain and simple, it just came out.
The family was set completely FREE’
‘He who the Son sets free is free indeed!’ John 8:36
I’m hoping many who read this will become aware of the ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ that are out there.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 Thess. 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
John 5:39 “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” (The words of Jesus Christ)
Y’all have an absolutely beautiful day and amazing week. I’ll get pictures and Surf Report up shortly.
Daddy Surf over and out!

2023 Summer

Do you see it?! I’ve been seeing this setting of the heavens quite frequently lately. It’s as if the Lord is revealing a release of His glory into the the earth.
Lately I’ve been praying in the spirit for prolonged periods and taking Communion regularly. I believe there’s definitely something shifting, aligning and setting in place – don’t know what it exactly is or what it means but I surely believe it’s a time to be very alert. The Divine Appointments / Encounters I’m experiencing daily have definitely increased and have been very powerful.
I took this picture earlier this morning when out and about on business.
Stay posted to some announcements and Gatherings forthcoming at the shop.
Y’all have a beautifully blessed 😇 night.
– Daddy Surf over and out!🏄‍♂️

June 6th 2023

Yesterday was our (my wife and I 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🌊) Anniversary. It was also the historical day ‘D-DAY’.
Quote: “They fought together as brothers in arms; they died together and now they sleep side by side. To them we have a solemn obligation.” – Chester Nimitz
It’s time we ‘The People’ who ‘In God We Trust’ be BOLD and COURAGEOUS take back our households, neighborhoods communities, cities, states and nation in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords and Ruler of the heavens and earth. Our nation was founded under God. plain and simple that’s Truth. If people don’t believe in Jesus Christ it’s not our responsibility or position to enforce our faith on them.
It’s our commission to love God, serve Him and love others AND share our testimony.
HOWEVER, never back down from the Truth (Jesus the Word which was spoken before it was written – Scripture)
Testimony:
It was no coincidence but a GODINCIDENCE that at the end of our day, Mommy Surf and I stopped by the shop after our Anniversary dinner out to check up on a few things. I was out front watering the plants, talking with the Lord and thanking Him for all he’s been doing in our lives and where He has brought me. I particularly thanked Him for blessing our business and allowing us to steward such a place where He brings in so many hurting, sick and lost people to be healed, encouraged and or to encounter Him.
As I did this, a man who was walking his dog down Thomas Drive came across our driveway way towards me. I knew immediately Holy Spirit led him here.
I didn’t know why at first so I listened and watched intently to see what Holy Spirit would do to let me know. The man asked if he could have some water for his dog and if I could spray his dog down because they had walked quite far. I did but as the man thanked me and was telling me about his vacation, I just BOLDLY and COURAGEOUSLY said, ‘Sir, this is Holy ground and Holy Spirit brings people here everyday. Holy Spirit brought you because – one, I’m not supposed to be here, and two – I knew it the moment I saw you approaching. However, I haven’t heard a word yet why? Then I bluntly said, ‘You’re struggling with something or searching aren’t you!’ All of a sudden he just broke down and started crying! He informed my wife and I his marriage was on the verge of collapse, he was full of rage and anger, he had seen and done things that were evil and so on and so on. Then – more confirmation/ GODINCIDENCE – come to find out he used to be in the military and was attached to Special Forces, as was I when I served in the military. He did four tours during Afghanistan War. He shared with us the horrors of some of the things he did and saw and how he now suffers from it. I spoke (prophesied the Word) into his life and brought him into the shop where my wife and I set him on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, covered him with the Talit and anointed him with oil and we all prayed together. It was POWERFUL! A moment set up by God FOR SURE!
Holy Spirit gave him some rest from the storm and battles raging inside of him, however, I know he wasn’t completely set free and will need on going help from like-minded brothers and sisters, support and so forth. Please keep him in your prayers – his name is ‘Fransisco’.
There are SO MANY of our service men and women (military and non military) struggling all around us. Let us all take time to thank them, listen to them, maybe offer them a meal or cup of coffee and just sit and pray with them. Many like ‘Fransisco’ don’t believe God can love them because of what they did. I’m not going to reveal what Fransisco shared with us about some of the things he did, however I’ll just say it was not good but that’s war – not a good thing but unfortunately, sometimes it’s a necessary thing in life as stated below:
‘The American citizen soldiers knew the difference between right and wrong. And they didn’t want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed. So they fought and won. And all of us, living and yet to be born, must be profoundly grateful.’ Stephen Ambrose
Stand Strong – Arise Remnant – Be bold, Courageous and STAND STRONG!

Summer 2023

As I was out early this morning, I looked up and saw the moon 🌝 peering through the whispering clouds skimming across the skyline – so peaceful and so surreal. I was in deep awe and pondering why He (the Lord) had sent this family in all the way from Tennessee just to deliver a prophetic word from Him (the Lord).
I know it sounds incredible to believe but it’s the absolute truth! They are Hispanic and only the two young daughters speak good English.
I received a text from my employee that a family was there to see me and asked when I would be coming in. It wasn’t a coincidence (a GODINCIDENCE) that I had not decided to go to Vernon and put it off for the next day, AND I was at home getting ready to go to the shop. Also, deep inside I felt I was supposed to be here today, after the DIVINE ENCOUNTER – I knew why!
I went to the shop and the mother (Fatima) approached me. She spoke very little English. I greeted her and asked why she was here and did she and or her family need prayer? She looked at me and as serious as could be in broken English said, ‘The Lord has sent me here from Tennessee to give you a message and that I was to pray for her and her family’.
I said is that the only reason you came to Panama City Beach, she said, ‘yes’. I said why are all of you dressed in white? Are y’all going to get pictures? She said, ‘No, they had dressed for this occasion’. I was totally blown away. Then she started to tell me what the Lord told her to say to me.
All my employees and the people (a lot) in the shop were watching us and when Fatima spoke what the Lord said to tell me, I about fell completely out! I cried and cried! I had never met this woman and everything she said was what was on and has been on my heart for quite awhile. I knew it was God! Her husband is a pastor and she said let me get him and we need to pray over you. I’m not going to disclose what the words were because sometimes we must keep things to ourselves and God. However, I will say it was one of the MOST POWERFUL Divine Encounters ever for me. It was God that sent her and He who spoke through her and an answer to my prayers. AND the encounter wasn’t over!
(Pic:Fatima and her husband on my right, on my left – grandmother, Fatima’s daughter and husband – with their daughters – Fatima’s granddaughters )
The father and granddaughter- holding the baby) worshipped in Hispanic on our keyboard in the shop. Immediately Holy Spirit began to draw people in as they just started walking through the door in the shop and coffee shop!
IT WAS SO POWERFUL!
I couldn’t stop weeping, people were crying, those who were not as spirit-filled even sensed the power of His presence in the atmosphere – it was absolutely beautiful and bewildering at the same time. Then the Spirit of the Lord spoke through the pastor and he released a prophetic word over my me, my wife and I and the Surf Shop while the younger daughter translated it to me. Again I was wrecked and just kept weeping and weeping. It was so powerful. I’m still in awe what took place and the words the Lord said to me through him and his wife.
Then Fatima asked me to pray over her and the entire family. We all removed our shoes, and I anointed them with oil, we circled and I began to pray. The Spirit of the Lord fell on me and the Lord gave me a prophetic word to speak over them. Fatima and her husband and the grandmother wept. I’m telling you folks that you just had to be there to witness and see and experience yourselves what happened. Like I said earlier, I don’t think I’ve ever had something this heavy or radical happen before.
I will surely say this:
Be ready – Be Ready – BE READY!
Everything is about to shift and change. We’re so close to an eruption of God’s glory like never seen before in the history of the earth. Many of you (and I know personally of people who are close to Lib and I) are going through some very very traumatic and difficult times. Help is on the way and His Name is Jesus!
I love y’all and so greatly appreciate all your support and prayers.

Summer 2023

Testimonial: Our Mission as spiritual and prophetic watchmen and women over our city we performed a prophetic act unto the Lord. A small group of us met up at the Surf Shop early Wednesday morning. We circled to pray, declare and decree God’s word in unity with the what Dutch Sheets in Give Him :15 speaks about in his recent posts on YouTube, and is being done for our nation.
The whole mission was so prophetic and led by Holy Spirit it was amazing! Upon arrival at the shop I had no set plans on how our mission would unfold. In the shortest way possible here’s how Holy Spirit set it all up:
A. As I set everyone in a circle in the middle of the shop, I positioned / assigned Andrew (a General of God and Kingdom connector) to the North Gate, suddenly realized He’s from the North, not a coincidence! Then I gave a him a word that he would be instrumental in spearheading what the Lord was about to do here in PCB. I had no idea that he just received a prophetic word from someone else that God was going to use him to spearhead a move of God!
😎 Then my wife (Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️) realized she was assigned the South Gate. She’s from the South!
C) Cynthia, Andrew’s wife, was assigned the East gate – WOW – she’s been to the East gate in Jerusalem twice! All this was set up without even realizing it until it happened.
D)Jenn (our employee) was assigned the West Gate. I had NO IDEA she grew up in a city and it was known as either East or West side. She grew up on the West side!
F) Then I had Robin read Ez. 37 which he had already heard the Lord say for him to read before he even got to the shop!
G) Then we went outside the shop to get in the van to set out, however, Holy Spirit brought in a Divine Appointment (see picture) as a man approached who needed prayer. His wife just recently passed away from cancer. A GODINCIDENCE – he said he had a son who was a pastor and his name was Andrew. Andrew was standing there to pray for him and Andrew is a pastor! You can’t make this stuff up – period!
After praying for the man, we all loaded up in the van and set out on our mission.
First was the South Gate (The Pass at St. Andrew’s St. Park)
We set our stone and anchor, blew the shofars, and prophesied to the South wind (provision) Psalm 78:26-29
H) Then headed to the East Gate (Hathaway Bridge) when we got there, we proceeded to do the same but prophesied to the East wind (Judgement and Destruction)
Ex. 10:12 – 13 & Ex. 14:21
This is really God! It was here we realized that the Panama City Port is which is the location where ships from all over the world come in bringing in containers full of drugs and human trafficking! AND, here we are prophesying to the East wind to bring Judgement and Destruction upon the evil taking place! WOW just WOW! Certainly not a coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE! Also Andrew noted that it will be the East Gate that Jesus Christ enters through when returning to the Holy city.
We proceeded to the North Gate (Back Bay Bridge) to blow our shofars, and set the anchor and stone and prophesied to the North Wind (God’s Rain and Glory)
Songs of Solomon 4:12; Ez. 1:4; Ps. 75:6-7; Pv. 25:23
I) Then as we set out to our final Gate, the enemy tried to stop us! Traffic was at a standstill for miles. It’s early morning on Back Beach road past Hwy 79 and traffic is at a standstill – never is it like this. We immediately knew it was the enemy trying to keep us from accomplishing our mission – NO WAY HOSEA! We all just laughed and kept our calm and knew what we had to do which we finally did of course and ended up setting a stone and anchor at the PCB City Hall, sounding our shofars. The secretary absolutely LOVED IT when we told her what we were doing. We had to tell her because we were digging up a hole in the front in their landscaped area and didn’t want to get arrested!
Mission accomplished!
We’ll continue to follow up periodically to make other rounds in the future. Here’s some pictures from our venture – enjoy!

Summer 2023

So this just happened:
I’m standing in the shop and, Daniel, a taxi driver at the airport, comes up to me and says, ‘Holy Spirit sent me here, and I brought you this lady to pray for’. – exactly like that. I never know what to expect!
I introduce myself with ‘Ivanna’ the lady in the middle and we talk briefly. At this point I don’t know exactly why Holy Spirit had Daniel bring her here. She also agrees with Daniel. So, Ivana and I head to the Prayer Bench. I cover her with the Talit and anoint her with oil, and we pray.
Presence of Holy Spirit falls on us and I begin to prophesy over Ivanna. When all is said and done, she says, ‘I’m dizzy and the words that the Lord had me prophesy, are confirmation because not too long ago almost the exact same thing was prophesied by another person – BOOM!
She’ll be coming this evening at our ‘Gathering’. The Lord has been moving MIGHTILY, particularly these past few days and has already been lining things up for this evening. We’ll try to go livestream on Facebook around 6:30pm
We may cut out early like we did last Friday for privacy of those attending, particularly, when it comes to deliverance.
Y’all have an amazing day. – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ over and out!

Summer 2023

Good Thursday morning Y’all – I hope you have been having an absolutely amazing week thus far and have been staying cool in all the heat. As we head into the Fourth of July 🇺🇸 weekend just wanted to let everyone know that we are here to pray with you and celebrate Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and King here at Mr. Surf’s. As some as you may already know, we WELCOME in spontaneous worship at anytime while we’re open for business. We’re also available for baptisms, however, I like to meet with the family beforehand to go through scripture and pray. I’ll be renewing a couple’s vows this weekend also on the beach – a first for me 😎 (Daddy Surf) As always we greatly appreciate your prayers and support! It’s looking like continued hot weather and not much surf 🏄‍♀️ 🏄‍♂️🌊 this week.
People frequently ask if we have Sunday morning service here at the Surf Shop. The answer is: We have a ‘Gathering’ on Friday evenings at 6:30pm which usually lasts until 8pm to sometimes a little longer. We have Fellowship – Worship – Prayer – Healing – Deliverance – Prophecy- Salvation and it’s very casual and somewhat different to common structured church meetings. Not in any way meaning it’s a better way, it’s just how we flow. We never know what to expect, but Holy Spirit always tends to blow us away as we allow Him to freely move among us.
We’ll sometimes have guests in town to either be a part of worship and or teach, but again most as often happens, it’s a last minute thing as it just goes down.
I wanted to share this ‘Testimony’ with you about the picture.
Yesterday, was quite active as Holy Spirit brought me several Divine Appointments all of which left me in AWE of how the Lord lets me be His hands and feet. Our God is SO Absolutely Good it blows me away!
This lady (note her leg) was shopping and limping, and I could tell she was in much pain. I approached her and asked her what was going on with her leg? She said she had been in a motorcycle accident and it twisted her leg all the way around. She lost her foot and has had multiple surgeries and has to have more. She explained the surgery that she had just gone through and that there was extreme pain coming up from her foot through her leg. I asked if I could pray with her and she smiled and said yes. I took her to the Surfboard Prayer Bench and got my Talit and anointing oil and explained how and why I believed the Lord desires me to pray with people. She listened very intently, learning new things about Jesus Christ and things that she read but now had more meaning of, and I could tell it instilled her faith to a higher degree! And, what’s most always amazing is how Holy Spirit draws in more people to the shop while doing this and you can see them listening in and watching in the distance all around us. I covered her with the Talit, we removed our shoes, and I anointed her with oil and asked her husband and son (they had wandered over) to come into agreement as I prayed. Yes, it was powerful as the presence of Holy Spirit came upon us and she wept like a little child. We asked Jesus Christ to heal her and for the pain to leave her body speaking healing scriptures into and over her and also prayed for her and her family. AND, yes the pain was gone!
I’m totally in AWE every time it happens. Y’all have an absolutely beautifully blessed 😇 day and come see us. We love ❤️ y’all! I’ll get a Beach Report up in a couple hours – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ 🌊

Summer 2023

– yesterday was pretty intense.
The Lord is taking me to new and higher levels in the prophetic.
Yesterday He (Holy Spirit) directed me to go declare ground for the Kingdom, pray, anoint and sound the shofar and release a word very early morning. It was at a restaurant / bar on Panama City Beach, and the area which I would refer as the ‘heart of the dragon’ – also known to many, particularly, the PCB police force as the ‘Red Triangle’ Little did I know that the owners of the place and a local pastor called to PCB from Alabama were planting a church there and it was the first day!
I have some missionary friends in town and knew that they were doing a worship meeting but had no idea it was a church plant.
As I was in devotion, prayer and Communion much earlier in the morning, Holy Spirit was stirring my heart to ‘GO!’ However, it was not specific as to where I was to go – what church / where and why? When I kept pressing in, I heard Holy Spirit speak, ‘Go to Fred’s’. I contacted my missionary friends early on and told them what I believed I was supposed to do and asked them to pray and see if they could sense anything also. Both confirmed what I heard.
What happened that morning was COMPLETELY GOD! Nobody on this earth can convince me otherwise – period! It was one of my most prophetic missions / endeavors that Holy Spirit set me out to accomplish.
I’m not at bay to fully disclose why and or all that occurred because it’s not the appropriate time.
I can say this – we struck the enemy in the heart with a Sword 🗡️ and it certainly stirred not only him up, but his entire camp that’s gripped this area for quite awhile. For those of you know the longtime history of Spring Break in PCB, you know how dark it was.
HOWEVER, I truly believe what the enemy intended for evil, God will use for good. (Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.)
The enemy and his camp were stirred up fiercely and came against me hard yesterday after what went down. My bust – I should have been on full alert. However, I’m SO BLESSED and have so many who love and support us, and I put out an SOS for prayer. Hundreds went to war on our behalf and with the help of the Lord Almighty another battle was won.
We ALWAYS win!
Victory is ours in Christ Jesus!
It’s no coincidence that I had a few friends (strong brothers and sisters in Christ) contact me to tell me that they were stirred up in the spirit to pray for me. God is SO Absolutely Good!
🏄‍♂️🌊 Y’all be blessed 😇

Summer 2023

Good early early morning everyone,
Hope y’all are having an absolutely amazing week thus far. So much has been going on in our lives (Mommy 🏄‍♀️ and Daddy 🏄‍♂️ Surf and we’re so humbly blessed and grateful 😇 to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Holy Spirit leads our every step every day.
I’m still in AWE as to what occurred yesterday in the shop Mr. Surfs Surf Shop and seeking the Lord as to what is it He distinctly desires for us to be and stay in His perfect will for our lives in this time and place.
As I was out early this morning, I looked up and saw the moon 🌝 peering through the whispering clouds skimming across the skyline – so peaceful and so surreal. I was in deep awe and pondering why He (the Lord) had sent this family in all the way from Tennessee just to deliver a prophetic word from Him (the Lord).

I went to the shop and the mother (Fatima) approached me. She spoke very little English. I greeted her and asked why she was here and did she and or her family need prayer? She looked at me and as serious as could be in broken English said, ‘The Lord has sent me here from Tennessee to give you a message and that I was to pray for her and her family’.
I said is that the only reason you came to Panama City Beach, she said, ‘yes’. I said why are all of you dressed in white? Are y’all going to get pictures? She said, ‘No, they had dressed for this occasion’. I was totally blown away. Then she started to tell me what the Lord told her to say to me.
All my employees and the people (a lot) in the shop were watching us and when Fatima spoke what the Lord said to tell me, I about fell completely out! I cried and cried! I had never met this woman and everything she said was what was on and has been on my heart for quite awhile. I knew it was God! Her husband is a pastor and she said let me get him and we need to pray over you. I’m not going to disclose what the words were because sometimes we must keep things to ourselves and God. However, I will say it was one of the MOST POWERFUL Divine Encounters ever for me. It was God that sent her and He who spoke through her and an answer to my prayers. AND the encounter wasn’t over!
(Pic:Fatima and her husband on my right, on my left – grandmother, Fatima’s daughter and husband – with their daughters – Fatima’s granddaughters )
The father and granddaughter- holding the baby) worshipped in Hispanic on our keyboard in the shop. Immediately Holy Spirit began to draw people in as they just started walking through the door in the shop and coffee shop!
IT WAS SO POWERFUL!
I couldn’t stop weeping, people were crying, those who were not as spirit-filled even sensed the power of His presence in the atmosphere – it was absolutely beautiful and bewildering at the same time. Then the Spirit of the Lord spoke through the pastor and he released a prophetic word over my me, my wife and I and the Surf Shop while the younger daughter translated it to me. Again I was wrecked and just kept weeping and weeping. It was so powerful. I’m still in awe what took place and the words the Lord said to me through him and his wife.
Then Fatima asked me to pray over her and the entire family. We all removed our shoes, and I anointed them with oil, we circled and I began to pray. The Spirit of the Lord fell on me and the Lord gave me a prophetic word to speak over them. Fatima and her husband and the grandmother wept. I’m telling you folks that you just had to be there to witness and see and experience yourselves what happened. Like I said earlier, I don’t think I’ve ever had something this heavy or radical happen before.
I will surely say this:
Be ready – Be Ready – BE READY!
Everything is about to shift and change. We’re so close to an eruption of God’s glory like never seen before in the history of the earth. Many of you (and I know personally of people who are close to Lib and I) are going through some very very traumatic and difficult times. Help is on the way and His Name is Jesus!
I love y’all and so greatly appreciate all your support and prayers.
I won’t be in the shop until later this afternoon. My wife wants to go see and feed some horses out in the country just north of us, plus I’ve got some mowing to do. Y’all have an absolutely blessed day!
Don’t forget to mark your calendars –
This Saturday June 10th around brunch guest, ‘Nick Stuart’ amazing and talented musician – Gospel and Country will perform.
Then ‘ The Gathering’ June 17th at 6:30pm an evening of Salvation, Deliverance, Healing and Prophesy
– Daddy Surf over and out! 🏄‍♂️

Summer 2023

Yesterday was our (my wife and I 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🌊) Anniversary. It was also the historical day ‘D-DAY’.
Quote: “They fought together as brothers in arms; they died together and now they sleep side by side. To them we have a solemn obligation.” – Chester Nimitz
It’s time we ‘The People’ who ‘In God We Trust’ be BOLD and COURAGEOUS take back our households, neighborhoods communities, cities, states and nation in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords and Ruler of the heavens and earth. Our nation was founded under God. plain and simple that’s Truth. If people don’t believe in Jesus Christ it’s not our responsibility or position to enforce our faith on them.
It’s our commission to love God, serve Him and love others AND share our testimony.
HOWEVER, never back down from the Truth (Jesus the Word which was spoken before it was written – Scripture)
Testimony:
It was no coincidence but a GODINCIDENCE that at the end of our day, Mommy Surf and I stopped by the shop after our Anniversary dinner out to check up on a few things. I was out front watering the plants, talking with the Lord and thanking Him for all he’s been doing in our lives and where He has brought me. I particularly thanked Him for blessing our business and allowing us to steward such a place where He brings in so many hurting, sick and lost people to be healed, encouraged and or to encounter Him.
As I did this, a man who was walking his dog down Thomas Drive came across our driveway way towards me. I knew immediately Holy Spirit led him here.
I didn’t know why at first so I listened and watched intently to see what Holy Spirit would do to let me know. The man asked if he could have some water for his dog and if I could spray his dog down because they had walked quite far. I did but as the man thanked me and was telling me about his vacation, I just BOLDLY and COURAGEOUSLY said, ‘Sir, this is Holy ground and Holy Spirit brings people here everyday. Holy Spirit brought you because – one, I’m not supposed to be here, and two – I knew it the moment I saw you approaching. However, I haven’t heard a word yet why? Then I bluntly said, ‘You’re struggling with something or searching aren’t you!’ All of a sudden he just broke down and started crying! He informed my wife and I his marriage was on the verge of collapse, he was full of rage and anger, he had seen and done things that were evil and so on and so on. Then – more confirmation/ GODINCIDENCE – come to find out he used to be in the military and was attached to Special Forces, as was I when I served in the military. He did four tours during Afghanistan War. He shared with us the horrors of some of the things he did and saw and how he now suffers from it. I spoke (prophesied the Word) into his life and brought him into the shop where my wife and I set him on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, covered him with the Talit and anointed him with oil and we all prayed together. It was POWERFUL! A moment set up by God FOR SURE!
Holy Spirit gave him some rest from the storm and battles raging inside of him, however, I know he wasn’t completely set free and will need on going help from like-minded brothers and sisters, support and so forth. Please keep him in your prayers – his name is ‘Fransisco’.
There are SO MANY of our service men and women (military and non military) struggling all around us. Let us all take time to thank them, listen to them, maybe offer them a meal or cup of coffee and just sit and pray with them. Many like ‘Fransisco’ don’t believe God can love them because of what they did. I’m not going to reveal what Fransisco shared with us about some of the things he did, however I’ll just say it was not good but that’s war – not a good thing but unfortunately, sometimes it’s a necessary thing in life as stated below:
‘The American citizen soldiers knew the difference between right and wrong. And they didn’t want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed. So they fought and won. And all of us, living and yet to be born, must be profoundly grateful.’ Stephen Ambrose
Stand Strong – Arise Remnant – Be bold, Courageous and STAND STRONG!

Summer 2023

Do you see it?! I’ve been seeing this setting of the heavens quite frequently lately. It’s as if the Lord is revealing a release of His glory into the the earth.
Lately I’ve been praying in the spirit for prolonged periods and taking Communion regularly. I believe there’s definitely something shifting, aligning and setting in place – don’t know what it exactly is or what it means but I surely believe it’s a time to be very alert. The Divine Appointments / Encounters I’m experiencing daily have definitely increased and have been very powerful.
I took this picture earlier this morning when out and about on business. Y’all have an absolutely fabulous and beautifully blessed day! 

July 2023

Holy Spirit brought this family to the shop – GODINCIDENCE absolutely for certain! I wasn’t even supposed to be there as I was heading out of town to go pick up the Rv for some friends (Luke Partridge and Jake Partridge and their mom Amy Dickerson Partridge) who wil be here tonight for worship at 6:30pm.
I dropped in the shop for just a second to grab some ice and let the staff know I’d be back that afternoon. As I did, Holy Spirit highlighted the younger lady (daughter-in-law) who was at our t-shirt rack, and I noticed she had our ‘The Last Bonfire’ t-shirt in her hand. As I was leaving, the family was at the counter checking out with a couple of the t-shirts, so although I was in a hurry, I stopped to share the story behind the t-shirt. As I did, I sensed a very light nudge from Holy Spirit to pray for them. However, I didn’t obey and as I walked away felt a little guilty because I was in a hurry (Lib was waiting for me).
I turned and walked away. As I was about to walk out the door, I literally about felt the hand of the Lord grab my shoulder and stop me and heard Him say, ‘GO PRAY WITH THEM! THEY NEED PRAYER!!!’
What’s interesting is that one of the requests I’ve been setting before my Papa God each day is ‘please don’t let ANY opportunities pass me up where You want to use me’ and it’s definitely been occurring – as was this case.
So, I turned around and approached the family and asked if they needed prayer.
They said no not really that everything was fine with them and life was good.
I simply looked at them, kinda shocking them, and said, ‘NO IT ISN’T! Holy Spirit just stopped me and turned me around to pray for you so something is up, AND btw when I was talking with you earlier He wanted me to pray with you but I didn’t obey Him so He stopped me at the door and turned me around. At first they all just stood there staring at me and almost said the same thing they had before, however, the mother began to tear up and the father looked at me and said that she was dealing with a lot of health issues. They all looked pretty upset. I said, That’s it then – YOU ARE HEALED! You’re not here to eat or shop. The Lord brought you here to heal you. He stopped me, turned me around so let’s go and pray – You’re HEALED in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
They followed me to the ‘Surfboard Prayer Bench’, I got my Talit and anointing oil and we all removed our shoes. Both women were crying. His (the Lord’s) presence was SO apparent and thick you could cut through it with a butter knife! The shop began to fill up with people as Holy Spirit drew people in – crazy when this happens. Then the mother looked at me and said her daughter-in-law needed prayer also because she had had two miscarriages.
I looked right into the girl’s eyes and said – NO MORE! I know exactly what to a pray and ask the Lord! The daughter-in-law was weeping! I’m telling what happened next was AWESOME! Power fell on us and it got very hot 🥵 ! I began to sweat as well as the family and the father said his hands were hot and sweaty. I said it’s the presence of God’s glory and He’s healing both of you! All the people who had filled the shop by this time were watching and could not deny that the Lord was present! Even Dorsie Mullen our employee said she felt heat at the counter! I was trembling and couldn’t help myself speaking lightly in the spirit as I walked away. Mission accomplished! I listened, obeyed and Jesus Christ did all the rest. We all hugged took this picture and I’m awaiting the report – It’s Done! Glory Hallelujah, we give all praise and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ!

July 2023

I was under a pavilion at the St. Park with an Altar set up, doing my morning Surf Report and Livestream message when Holy Spirit brought me this couple ‘Michael and Tiffany’. Out of all the pavilions (a lot) they and their families came to the one I was at. Apparently it was reserved for their wedding. However, is it interesting that all the other pavilions around me were empty – a GODINCIDENCE! As I ended with my livestream, I asked them if I could pray with them and bless them. I had my Talit and oil and would like to do something special. Tiffany began to cry. They said they would love it. Tiffany knew what the Talit was because I believe either her father or grandfather had one. Here’s the crazy – in a good way- thing, Michael did not like church. He had been exposed to the institutionalized RELIGIOUS church (Pharisees and Sadducees) that Jesus Christ loved but sternly stood and warned against. They crucified Him! As Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak and prophesy over them, particularly Michael, I could see, and also Tiffany, it really impacted him in a special way. It was so cool 😎 to be used by the Lord in such a way! We took this picture and I told them to go to the Surf Shop and we would bless their day and families with some paddle boards. They were excited!
God is so absolutely amazing and never ceases to blow my mind each day. Mommy Surf and I are so richly blessed to be able to bless others with all He has given us.

August 5th, 2023

This is Church without walls
This is Marketplace Ministry
This is the EKKLESIA
To say today before we opened our doors until closing was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME would be an understatement.
Testimony after testimony of powerful Divine Appointment after another.
I will try to post a few over the next few days but I’m SO pooped and SO ready to take a rest.
I want to give a HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to Aaron Michaels and Megan Hobbs for making this day so special. Please support their ministry and music by requesting your local Christian radio stations to play his two top songs ‘Trust’ & ‘Faith Over Fear’. They are on the top music charts in Tulsa Oklahoma.
I want to thank everyone who came out for fellowship and worship – totally amazing time. The whole time we were inside the shop, Holy Spirit moved mightily as a storm raged outside the entire time! It was very unusual but prophetic. Y’all have an absolutely beautiful night and we’ll let you know when our next Special Event is coming up.

Summer 2023

Holy Spirit led two men to exactly where I had set up my morning Altar unto the Lord to Declare & Decree and Pray and sound the shofar! How I know it was absolutely a GODINCIDENCE not a coincidence is that all morning I was contemplating on either going to the county or city pier down at Pier Park. HOWEVER, for some reason I ended up at the St. Park. As I was praying early morning (only ones there that early) these two men walked up to look at the beach. They said they would only be a minute and apologized for interrupting me but I said it was okay and actually knew Holy Spirit brought them here. I was still and waited for Holy Spirit to move. The Chad (the one I’m praying for) said, ‘Excuse me but if you don’t ask mind me asking, what are you doing?’ It opened up sharing the deeper things of God and scripture with the two of them, almost all of which they had heard a little but hadn’t understood the depth of it all. I then began to prophesy over Chad and his friend (Trey) got chill bumps as Chad began to tear up and Holy Spirit embraced us all. Chad used to be in a worship band and had drifted away from his walk and calling / destiny. He has had a pretty rough road since then – but God! Today was his day to renew his commitment and come into agreement with the call on his life as I covered him with the Talit, anointed him with oil (our sandals removed) and the Lord had me release a powerful word over him. I’ve been keeping in touch with both of them as they live just north of PCB.

Summer 2023

The picture of lady with the gray dress had many health issues caused by a couple car accidents. She had complete nerve damage to her left leg, dragged her foot, no feeling in it and severe pain to her hip, plus several other injuries and issues to her body. We prayed and Jesus Christ of Nazareth completely healed her!

Summer 2023

 Husband and wife came in the shop to meet me. The wife wanted to pray with me for healing her ear because she didn’t know what was causing her to lose hearing and the physicians didn’t know the cause. So we went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench removed our sandals and I covered them both with the  Talit and anointed them with oil. It was so powerful that (see pic) the wife was out for awhile. And YES – Jesus Christ healed her. It’s just as amazing each time we see the power of Holy Spirit move – NEVER GETS OLD! Halleluiah all praise, honor and glory to our King Jesus!  

Summer 2023

This is quite long but SO WELL worth the read – Enjoy my friends 😎 Testimonial:
Painting the Borders of our City Mission PART 1:
As spiritual and prophetic watchmen and women over our city we performed a prophetic act unto the Lord. Here’s the story behind it – Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ (Lib) has been pressing in to clearly hear what the Lord is saying to us. She called me ad was very excited because as she was riding her bike in the early morning hour, she heard the Lord speak to her spirit and say that we were to ‘Paint the Borders of our city (Panama City Beach). We watch Dutch Sheets ‘Give Him :15) every morning, and Dutch was talking about the borders of our states and nation also about ‘Commanding the Foreward’ However, he had not yet begun to receive messages from people all over our nation taking up the call to arms and begin painting the borders in so many amazing ways. My wife said that she believed if we would begin with our city and posted it abroad, it would encourage others to do so in their cities.
So, several weeks ago I posted out on our social media what the Lord had spoken to my wife and set forth a date and time to meet up at our Surf Shop not knowing who or how many would show up. I also watched a powerful word by my spiritual father and mentor ‘Pastor Kent Mattox at WAIO about prophesying to the winds North, South East and West in favor over the four gates / entry points to our city. This is all Biblical as we can see in Job 2:19 where a ‘wind’ came in and struck the four corners of house killing his family. We can speak to the four living beings and call in winds on our behalf and favor just as witches / warlocks do to come in against God’s children. This is real, and as you read on you will see how this played out as we went on our mission.
A small group of us met up at the Surf Shop early Wednesday morning. We circled to pray, declare and decree God’s word in unity with the what Dutch Sheets in Give Him :15 speaks about in his posts for our city, state and nation. (Commanding the Foreward and speaking the words of Robert Hunt at Cape Henry over our nation and more) We also had with us stones and nails and anointed them which we would bury at each gate and end at the City Hall. The whole mission was so prophetic and led by Holy Spirit! We just allowed Him to lead us in everything we did. We had no set plans on how our mission would unfold. In the shortest way possible here’s a brief explanation how Holy Spirit set it up:
As we set everyone in a circle in the middle of the shop, I positioned / assigned everyone at a gate to the city. My dear friend Andrew was assigned the North Gate, suddenly we realized He’s from the North, not a coincidence! Then the Lord had me give him a word that he would be instrumental in spearheading what the Lord was about to do here in PCB. I had no idea that he just received a prophetic word from someone else that God was going to use him to spearhead a move of God!
Then my wife (Mommy Surf) realized she was standing and assigned the South Gate. She’s from the South!
Cynthia, (Andrew’s wife), was assigned the East gate – WOW – she’s been to the East gate in Jerusalem twice! All this was set up without even realizing it until it happened.
Jenn (our employee) was assigned the West Gate. I had NO IDEA she grew up in a city and it was known as either East or West side. She grew up on the West side!
I had Robin (another employee and fellow watchman) read Ez. 37 which he had already heard the Lord say for him to read before he even got to the shop!
We all went outside the shop to get in the van to set out, however, Holy Spirit brought in a Divine Appointment – as a man approached us who needed prayer. His wife just recently passed away from cancer. A GODINCIDENCE – he said he had a son who was a pastor and his name was Andrew. Andrew was standing there to pray for him and Andrew is a pastor! You can’t make this stuff up! I believe it was the Lord confirming all that we were doing.
After praying for the man, we all loaded up in the van and set out on our mission.
First was the South Gate (The Pass at St. Andrew’s St. Park)
We set our stone and anchor, blew the shofars, and prophesied to the South wind (provision) see Psalm 78:26-29
We then headed to the East Gate (Hathaway Bridge) and when we got there, we proceeded to do the same but prophesied to the East wind (Judgment and Destruction)
See Ex. 10:12 – 13 & Ex. 14:21
This is really God! It was here we realized that the Panama City Port is at this location (only five major ports in Florida this being one) which is the location where ships from all over the world come in bringing in containers full of drugs and human trafficking (fact!) AND, here we are prophesying to the East wind to bring ‘Judgment and Destruction’ upon the evil taking place! WOW just WOW! Certainly not a coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE! Also Andrew noted that it will be the East Gate that Jesus Christ enters through when returning to the Holy city.
We proceeded to the North Gate (Back Bay Bridge) to blow our shofars, and set the anchor and stone and prophesied to the North Wind (God’s Rain and Glory)
See Songs of Solomon 4:12; Ez. 1:4; Ps. 75:6-7; Pv. 25:23
Then as we set out to our final Gate, the enemy tried to stop us! Traffic was at a standstill for miles. It’s early morning on Back Beach road past Hwy 79 and traffic is at a standstill – never is it like this. We immediately knew it was the enemy trying to keep us from accomplishing our mission – NO WAY HOSEA! We went to the West gate – Restoration and Deliverance see scripture Joel 2:21-27 (28 & 30) then ended up setting a stone and anchor at our final destination the PCB City Hall, planting the stones and stakes and sounding our shofars. The secretary absolutely LOVED IT when we told her what we were doing. We had to tell her because we were digging up a hole in the front in their landscaped area and didn’t want to get arrested!
Mission Part 1 accomplished!
Painting the Borders Mission Part 2:
Several weeks later as I (Daddy Surf) continued to listen to Dutch Sheets each morning and heard about all the amazing testimonies, the Lord spoke and said I want you to ‘Paint the Shoreline of your City’. Panama City Beach has the largest stretch of coastline (more than 26 miles) on the Gulf of Florida. I informed my wife what I heard the Lord say, however I thought we were to walk from one end to the other, stopping and staring at points and once again, declaring, decreeing and setting markers in the sand similar to what we did at the four gates and City Hall. ‘We make plans but the Lord direct our steps’ and the next morning as we were to begin the mission, I heard the Lord say, I want you to Paddle Board the entire beach not walk. Everyone was driving or walking their boarders but you two are ‘Keeper’s of the Wave’ 🏄‍♀️🏄‍♂️🌊(we have had that word prophesied over us several times) and it makes sense because we are known as ‘Mommy 🏄‍♀️ and Daddy 🏄‍♂️’ and we own a Surf Shop. So I made plans to do so, but what’s even more amazing is that as I listened to Dutch Sheets he mentioned the story of two of our dear friends ‘Johnny Taylor and Leslie who had gone up the entire coastline of their state. I immediately knew for certain it was confirmation that my wife and I were to do our shoreline! Wow just WOW! So begins our Mission Part 2. Now here’s what’s really cool – we got to the beach at our first starting point, however, I left the nails and stones at the house. I searched the car for something to use then I saw a Surfer’s Key we use for our boards. The Lord said use that it was meant to happen Isaiah 22:22 And I will place on his shoulders the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut and none shall open. And since we are ‘Keepers of the Wave’ what better way than to use a Surfer’s Key! We anointed the key and buried it. A Godincidence for sure! A few other incredible things occurred. As we set out on our first leg of our paddle, a manatee came right up to my wife and put his nose on her board then began to follow us along as we went. Interestingly a manatee has many spiritual symbolisms that align with Holy Spirit – friendly (love) joy (happy easy going) gentle, kind, peaceful, good just another confirmation of what we were doing was hearing and obeying the voice of Holy Spirit.

Summer 2023

 A lady (Kim – on my right) came in for me to pray with her. She also had a friend with her, but I didn’t know that Holy Spirit brought her also as you will see.
As we sat at the Surfboard Prayer Bench, I got my Talit and anointing oil, we began to talk about what she wanted to bring before the Lord. Here’s the crazy thing, she mentioned that I had prayed with some of her other family members before and then she mentioned Oxford Alabama. I said that’s crazy because my wife and I are aligned with a church / Apostolic hub in Oxford called WAIO. She said she knew it well because that’s where her grandparents used to go when they were alive. I told her that Pastor Kent Mattox is my spiritual mentor and father. All of a sudden she got chills – no coincidence, a GODINCIDENCE – Pastor Kent was at the beside of her grandmother and prayed with her when she passed away. We began to pray and as we did, the power of God came upon us as Holy Spirit moved. Suddenly after a couple minutes Kim’s friend wept out loud and began to tremble as Holy Spirit healed her and set her free from whatever was weighing her down. It was powerful and beautiful at the same time, and completely caught me off guard. When all was said and done, she felt so much better and asked if she could hug me. We hugged, took this picture and said our goodbyes

Summer 2023

So humbled and honored to baptize the Lassandro family from Illinois (Nick, Ereka, and their daughter ‘Sophia’ and son ‘Gabriel’) As always, I have the family come in beforehand to meet up in the shop, and we go over what it is when we are not just baptized in water, but the baptism of Holy Spirit and why John the Baptist said, ‘I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.’
And what that means. Unfortunately, I meet many who tell me that they were baptized when they were a child and no nothing about ‘baptism of Holy Spirit and Fire’. I set them on our Surfboard Prayer bench, cover them with the Talit, have them remove their shoes and anoint them with oil. Every time I do this the Lord always has more, as was this case, in He had me prophecy the words He gave me over the daughter Sophia – a Debra anointing and son Gabriel a spokesman / messenger for the Lord. Both the mother and father agreed what was said totally fit their personalities.
What a way to end this absolutely beautiful day and a day full of powerful Divine Appointments!

Summer 2023

These ladies of King Jesus came in to shop. They were here for a Girls getaway and all went to a church I well know. We started conversations about their Pastor – a very Godly man, and I told them I had read one of his books which really helped me in completely trusting God and His Kingdom / Ekklesia. As we spoke I asked if we could all pray. They said certainly and we formed a circle in the middle of the shop and began to pray. The power and presence of Holy Spirit fell on us and I began to prophesy over each one as the Lord gave me the words to speak. You could have filled a bucket with the tears as they wept and wept and Holy Spirit edified and healed each one, especially emotionally.. We all went outside afterwards and took this picture. Life is SO ABSOLUTELY radically amazing when living for Jesus! 

Summer 2023

I never ever underestimate the POWER OF GOD and every time I see Him show up and blow up bringing in His glory 🔥, it’s totally awe inspiring and fills my cup to keep running this race ‘No bars held – FULL SPEED AHEAD!’
Such a powerful moment when these four ladies came to the shop to request that we pray with them for a situation in a completely different region. We all gathered together and FIRE 🔥 literally was all around us. I could not believe how hot it got – so crazy! The Word went out and I am absolutely positive I will hear a good report this morning. They are still here staying at the condos across the street. Wow just WOW! 
UPDATE:
They came into the shop the next day to tell us that they Lord had answered the word sent out THAT EVENING! Halleluiah – Thank you King Jesus! 

Summer 2023

This family came to the shop for a Baptism. I led them to our Prayer Bench and shared scripture about the Baptism of Holy Spirit and fire – clearly so they would understand before heading to the beach. We removed our hoes and I covered them with Talt and anointed them with oil as a prophetic act unto the Lord. 
A GODINCIDENCE – their last name was ‘Johnson’ mine is Johnson, confirmation that everything was Divinely lined up! You cannot make this stuff up!  As we prayed, Holy Spirit 🌊and fire 🔥 fell upon us. Dad was so overwhelmed not only was he crying, but snot was running out of his nose and I had to grab the tissues. I thought Jaydyn, their daughter, had a cold because she was sniffling but I realized she was crying as Holy Spirit filled her. I gave them all tissues. It was SO  powerful! The Lord had me release a powerful prophetic word over Jayden, who God will use amongst her generation as a mighty warrioress to bring many lost and hurting into the kingdom and setting many free from demonic oppression! Much of the word that the Lord had me speak was scriptures and what’s ‘strange’ is the way it came out and was put in sequence- it rhymed!
We all headed across the street to the beach for the baptism. As we did I discipled / gave Jayden a brief but deep teaching on the inheritance she now had in Christ and how God would use her to come against and overcome the powers of darkness that we see are increasing here on earth. She and her parents listened intently. Here’s another ‘strange’ thing, as I was teaching there was an older couple sitting in the pavilion where we were walking through to the beach. They were sitting there to talk to people about God. However, their teaching is ‘FALSE’! They were Jehovah Witnesses. Isn’t it interesting as soon as we passed by I watched them in the distance get up and watch us and they immediately left! The Light (Spirit of Truth) always over powers darkness (spirit of lies). I knew immediately He who is in us drove away he who is in the world and or not of Christ Jesus. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah amen! We completed the baptism, took pictures and said our goodbyes but they are coming back tomorrow for ‘Taco Tuesday’

Summer 2023

Today was INTENSE to say the least – from first thing this morning till evening.
Spiritual warfare has ramped up, and we (Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ and I – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️) would so greatly appreciate all the prayers that you can send our way and also over the shop. AND – we ALL NEED TO BE PRAYING OVER and DECLARING God’s Word against this potential situation of a Tropical Wave moving slowly North into lower part of the Gulf. – We thank you so very much! 🙏
I was out of town most of the day but upon returning, Holy Spirit brought in this family from Georgia. Four needing healing and three baptized. The father didn’t come in to be baptized. I explained the water baptism but also baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire all according to scripture. Spent much time with the whole family. I knew Holy Spirit brought in the father to be baptized in water and receive the Holy Spirit. He did! So much happened here I can’t write it all down and some is private. Just know it was SO POWERFUL and God moved mightily!🔥🔥🔥 Jesus Christ is Lord and King. He is the ONLY Way, Truth and Life. Nobody can come to the Father except through Him!

Melissa and her friend came in to shop. Melissa approached me and said she came to the shop about three years ago and couldn’t walk without pain. Actually, she said she had so much pain in her ankles it was very difficult to walk at all.
I meet and pray for so many people that I didn’t remember her. She said she was at the counter and I approached her and told her I needed to pray for her. She said I sat her on the Surfboard Prayer Bench and when we prayed together the power of the Lord fell on her and when she stood up her pain was completely gone. She said she never forgot it and actually it brought her to a new level in her walk with the Lord. As we were talking I felt Holy Spirit give me a word for her friend Annette. As I did, Annette began to weep strongly, so much so, that I also began to weep because I felt whatever was weighing on her. As Holy Spirit’s presence overwhelmed us both words of knowledge and prophecy just kept pouring out from the Lord. I had no idea that what the Lord had me say was about her sons and children’s children! This all occurred in the middle of the shop as people were drawn in shopping and watching and listening to everything that went on. It always seems to happen like that. We all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench to pray and again the power of God fell on us. I got very warm and Annette burst out praying in Tounges. It was so awesome! I know I’ll be seeing them again!

Summer 2023

As most often happens, when I step into the shop unexpectedly, the unexpected happens. – Testimony:
This is ‘Tamika’ and ‘Donna’. I went down to the shop to drop off a board and grab the mail. The shop was closed. I saw a car pull up and these two girls got out and approached the door. Deep within me I sensed Holy Spirit brought them, however, I didn’t obey Holy Spirit’s unction at first because it had been a long day and I was tired. Well, it wasn’t to be so!
I opened the door and told them that we were closed for the day. They said that they had come to rent some kayaks for a couple hours and asked where they could go. To make a long story short, I recommended the St. Park because it was already late afternoon / evening. They thanked me and left. I locked up and began to walk away and Holy Spirit just about yelled at me ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!’ I brought them here and I need to do a work in them. Literally, I ran back outside and as they were turning around in their car and just about to pull off onto Thomas Drive, I ran up to the window and knocked surprising them. They rolled down the window and I said, ‘I can’t let y’all leave. The Lord brought you here! One of you or maybe both of you needs prayer. I don’t know why or what’s going on but you do.’ They both were stunned to say the least. However, they looked at each other, and with that certain look and I knew it was true. Donna began to tear up. I said we need to go back in to the shop and pray. It’s Holy ground and the Lord has a work to do in you and that’s why He brought you here! They both not only agreed, but were so adamant that they turned around abruptly and immediately! We all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed our shoes, and I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil explaining everything to them as I did. The presence of Holy Spirit was so powerful, you could cut the atmosphere with a knife! As I prayed and prophesied over them both they wept and wept and wept as Holy Spirit’s healing power came upon them, particularly Donna, setting them free from fear, depression, anxiety and much more. I could literally sense the chains being broken off her one by one as she wept and wept. The Lord had me speak specific words for things that she had held onto that caused much pain, hurt, and rejection. It was absolutely beautiful and powerful at the same time. She said afterwards that she felt so much lighter and free! The Lord had me prophesy over them both and speak into their destiny. Not only were they set free, they received baptism of Holy Spirit, something they knew nothing about. They both thanked me and asked if they could give me a hug. We hugged and took this photo. Just look at the joy in their faces! God never ceases to amaze me and it’s only by His grace am I so humbled and honored to have these Divine encounters everyday. I love love love doing this work with the Lord.
Philippians 1:21 (AMP)
For to me, to live is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity].

Summer 2023

The picture of mom (Lanna) and daughter (Sam) are special. I’ve known them for about a year and we were connected through my friends the ‘Bullocks’ in Warrior Alabama. They are both anointed and have strong callings on their lives. I’m so humbled and honored to have them as Prayer Warriors who cover us and our business / ministry with prayer. They came to visit for Labor Day weekend. Not only did the Lord have a word for both of them, but Lanna received healing in her body. The radical thing is this: I felt impressed by Holy Spirit to stand and pray and release a declaration and decree over ‘Sam’ who’s a sought out volleyball player about to go into college. God will use her in sports as a mighty ambassador and spiritual leader. The Lord set a new ranking upon her as He gave me the words to prophecy. What’s crazy is that she didn’t say anything to her mom or me, but she knew she had to come to the shop this weekend and that I would pray over her just as how it happened! She had the vision of everything that went down the day before! God is absolutely amazing! Please be praying for them as the Lord is leading them both on new paths, and Sam is desiring to follow the Lord as to what college to go to. She wants to be sure it’s the Lord’s choice not hers. I believe she’ll have no problem because this girl is on FIRE! for Jesus! Immediately afterwards –
A man came in asking for prayer. I had no idea what was about to happen. As I prayed, the man’s hands began to twist up – that’s when I knew! He needed deliverance from a demonic spirit. As we prayed, his body twisted up and he fell forward to the ground. He began to cough up and we began to command the spirit or spirits to come out in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ set him free – it was awesome. What was so special was I grabbed ‘Sam’ who I had just prayed for and prophesied over how  the Lord was raising her in ranks to come pray with us not knowing what was about to happen. AND there were A LOT of people in the shop watching all of it –  Ekklesia in action! Thank you King Jesus!

Summer 2023

Wow! just WOW Jesus! What a beautifully Holy Spirit day with POWERFUL Divine Encounters all day!
From the very moment I got through with my Livestream first thing this morning, my first appointment was to minister to two teenagers, one in particular, who needed deliverance and an encounter with Holy Spirit because of her situation (it was bad). She was losing faith that there was a God. After all was said and done – IT WAS DONE! Glory Hallelujah! Much more to this but I’ll just leave it at that.
Had several more Appointments for deliverance, healing and restoration and prophesy.
Then three baptisms only expecting one!
Testimony: The Cordova family (see pic) who are new residents here, were sitting on the beach watching as I baptized ‘Dee Anne’ first pic. Mom approached me and said, ‘Are you John from Mr. Surf’s?’ I said yes, and she and her husband ‘Cris’ told me that they were wanting to come meet me. Cris even said it was Divine Intervention because he didn’t really want to go to the beach but went. They said their son ‘Ethen’ had just accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and neither of their sons (twins) Ethen and Aiden hadn’t been baptized in water and they wanted them to be baptized in the Gulf. We’ll here we were and again – IT WAS DONE in the Mighty Most Precious Name of Yeshua Hamashiach – glory Hallelujah!
What’s even more amazing is that when I prayed for the parents, I prophesied over them and the mom said that they were lined up with the scriptures she was reading while at the beach! What a glorious day! Thank you Jesus YOU are so absolutely amazing!

Summer 2023

‘Calvin’ who I met at the beach while doing this morning’s beach report. He greeted me and said he liked my necklace. I asked if he was hungry and would like some breakfast. He was delighted and said yes. Took him across street to Finn’s and got him a breakfast bowl. He said he hadn’t eaten like that in a long time. As we talked, I came to find out he was working construction and fell from scaffolding and crushed his hip. His hip had been replaced with metal and it was causing him severe pain (he was limping really bad) and said his leg was getting smaller and weaker and he could no longer ride his bike. I asked Calvin if I could pray for healing and told him I knew for certain Jesus Christ would heal him.
I grabbed Hunter, a fellow brother I do ministry with (he’s in our inner circle) and we prayed for Calvin’s hip and leg and asked Jesus Christ to heal him and take his pain away. As we did, Calvin shook a couple times like something hit his body. After it was all said and done, Calvin said he felt Hunter’s hand holding his leg while I had my hands on his head and back while praying, and then he felt Hunter’s hand no more. It was different – it was JESUS! Jesus Christ took the pain away and he stood straight up! Hallelujah – we give all praise and glory to our King!

Summer 2023

Rachel and her aunt who came in to shop. Holy Spirit highlighted Rachel and I knew to pray for her. We talked a good bit and the power of Holy Spirit fell and began speak through me as I prophesied over Rachel, and I spoke the words He gave me telling her what and how God was going to move in her life in using her as a leader to help young people of her generation and deliver them from many things keeping them bondage. It was SO powerful! Many customers were watching and listening and couldn’t deny the presence of Holy Spirit in the shop. Both girls wept and wept as Holy Spirit fell on them – so amazing and beautiful. I’m blown away every single time it happens!

Summer 2023

Danielle brought her daughter (Kaitlin) to the shop and asked if I could pray healing for her toothache. However, I knew immediately it was so much more than just a tooth! She was there to be healed physically, emotionally and spiritually. We all went to the Altar – our ‘Surfboard Prayer Bench’ where I spent awhile sharing scriptures about the water baptism and the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16). I go to the Old Testament, as well as, the New Testament explaining clearly – Fire – Water – Wind and how it’s revealed in the Word. Kaitlin sat listening deeply as she had no knowledge of any of it but now it made sense and began to connect all the dots of questions she had deep within her. We prayed for healing and I released the words Holy Spirit had me speak. She was healed and left having a deeper understanding of who she was in Christ. So amazing, beautiful and always overwhelming! However, deep inside I sensed she needed a community of like-minded friends to meet break bread, fellowship with and continue on in discipleship – SO VERY VERY IMPORTANT! Please be praying for Kaitlyn, as well as her mom, ‘Danielle’, who also needs prayers for her and her boyfriend ‘Johnny’ who is in jail and has given his life to the Lord and they both have repented, and are so ready to begin their new life and journey together with Jesus Christ, our Savior and King of kings, Lord of lords. Thank you 🙏

Summer 2023

SO GODINCIDENCE!
Holy Spirit brought Danny and Tamara to the shop without a doubt as I was immediately drawn to them. I watched and waited for a Rhema Word from the Lord because Holy Spirit was impressing me that He had brought them in, but I didn’t hear a word. They walked around for a bit then walked out. I asked Holy Spirit to bring them back in to the shop and if so, I would just boldly approach them and let them know that He had brought them in. About two minutes later, He did – it was the wife ‘Tamara’. So, I just walked straight up to her and began telling what the Lord revealed and said either one of you is sick and or you’re in a transitional time in your life. As we talked, Tamara began to tear up and I knew – Divine Appointment for sure! I told her to go get her husband and that we needed to pray – both of them. Come to find out, they’re here for a ‘Feast of Tabernacles’ at a resort down the street. Out of all the coffee shops, including the one inside the resort, Holy Spirit led them here – this is Holy ground, a Light House on PCB and every day we’re open the Lord draws in people from all over. Unlike the standard churches which have service mostly only one or two days a week, we’re open every day except for Mondays which is our Sabbath. We are a church without walls – an Ekklesia – full on Kingdom business reaching many who would never ever walk into a church.
Here’s the confirmations that put a stamp on – the Lord brought them in, actually, for a couple reasons.
One – I’m 63 y/o and graduated in 1978 in Southern California. One of my best friends was ‘Mike Jons. Those were my wild days. We actually were roommates when I first moved out from my parents house, and partied like crazy. Not something to brag about, but it was part of revealing how God’s grace and mercy is on our lives is so so magnificent! I asked where Tamara and her husband were from – Prescott Arizona. I said, oh I have a friend who now lives there, you wouldn’t by chance happen to know him? Tamara’s eyes popped wide open and she said, oh my goodness, he worked for us when we owned our business! You cannot make this stuff up!
Two – Then on top of this, they asked me for my name again and wow – just WOW! I said ‘John Johnson’ and again their eyes popped wide open. They said that they had a man who lived at their house in the basement area and his name – you guessed it, well almost, is ‘John Johnston!’ Close enough – no coincidence! I knew now for certain we needed to pray. We went straight to the Altar, our Surfboard Prayer Bench and removed our sandals, I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil and listened for a Rhema Word. Powerful – I felt the heat of God’s pure righteous fire fall, and as I began to release the words he gave me both of them wept. The shop filled up with people as Holy Spirit draws them in. Everyone present cannot deny something certainly supernatural is occurring. Even out of the corner of my eyes, I could see some people gathering around us watching and listening. They were not with them (Danny and Tamara). And yes, Danny and Tamara were in a HUGE transition in their lives, as they had just sold their business and retired but knew that the Lord had something set for them to move forward with but didn’t know what exactly it was. I just prophesied the words He gave me and can’t recall what was spoken. I only know it was very powerful. Also, unexpectedly, which He does quite often, He had me speak healing into Danny although he looked perfectly healthy and said he had great health. Just obeying Holy Spirit. However, Danny wept as I prayed and afterwards gave me a huge hug! We all exchanged information and I believe that I will be going to Arizona soon to visit them, and my old roommate who I haven’t seen in more than 40 years! God is SO absolutely good and totally amazing!

Fall 2023

I was at the register when this young lady came up to check out. I began a conversation with her about Jesus and as I spoke she began to tear up. I said I know why you’re crying, it’s Holy Spirit. I said I don’t know what’s weighing you down but Jesus is here and He’s healing you. Her tears began to pour out more and more, so I took her hands and anointed them and her forehead with oil and began to prophesy the Word over her. She just wept and wept. When it was all said and done, I said there now it’s gone, you’re free. She looked at me and smiled and said thank you. I’ve been missing His presence for awhile now. I really needed this. She then told me that she was working with YWAM (Youth with a Mission) in Hawaii and moved back to Indianapolis and the hustle and bustle and grind of living life in the city had drained her from His (Christ’s) fullness. She said she hadn’t felt like this since she was in Hawaii working with YWAM. I told her that her lamp was refreshed and full of oil, now go take it back to the city and keep it filled. We hugged, took this picture. She’ll be coming back, and I’m sure that Mommy Surf and I will be going to visit her and her friends in Indianapolis because she is going to work with a Kingdom Business and Ministry Hub that serves their area.

Fall 2023

Just at about the time we said goodbye, this young couple (boyfriend and girlfriend – both wrestled in school and that’s how they met each other) came in and we talked about Jesus. I shared some deep prophetic truths with them. We spent at least :45 minutes or so. Then the young girl said that I had prayed with her and her friends and her brother on the Surfboard Prayer Bench with the Talit and anointed them oil last year. She said she got baptized in the Holy Spirit and that she prays in Tounges – it happens when she’s in church! I could tell her boyfriend didn’t really know what that all meant, so again we sat and I went through scripture showing him what it meant and why it was so powerful. He said, “Wow!’ because it made sense and now understood it – the pieces of the puzzle put together. Then his girlfriend said her brother was better. She said he had severe depression when I prayed for Him and Jesus set him free. He was doing great and had an incredible job making really good money. I didn’t even remember all this but I am SO GRATEFUL the Lord sends me reminders like this to keep me going. It gets tough at times and there are times that I wonder, ‘Lord am I really doing what I’m supposed to do and am I truly making a difference?’ He sends me small encounters like this to remind me and to keep running the race and fighting the good fight for His glory and His Kingdom.

Fall 2023

We have a Surfboard Bench  ‘Altar’ unto the Lord that my wife and I have set up in our Surf Shop.  We have literally prayed for thousands of people on this Surfboard Prayer Bench for  more than a decade. We’ve seen AND continue to see the Almighty Power of God displayed in many ways while customers, many unchurched, watch in amazement and know without a doubt it’s real. Healings and Deliverance, Baptism in Holy Spirit and fire (receiving their prayer language speaking in toungues, and more) Yesterday was a day full on with powerful Divine Appointments as I prayed for people nonstop while in the shop. In one instance, as I ministered to a young couple (the wife was pregnant with their first child) the Lord had me release a strong prophetic word over the baby. As I did the presence of Holy Spirit was so powerful, the shop filled up with customers. The young mother was weeping. There was another young couple watching and began weeping. They waited and asked if I could pray for them. They had a child. Again as I prayed with them, Holy Spirit delivered them from fear, anxiety and depression – powerful – and they both looked so much better. They hugged me and said that they felt all this weight lifted from them and felt free! Many people say that they are led here, as was the case, later on that afternoon with another Holy Spirit encounter. This goes on and on each day we’re open, except Mondays when we’re closed for our Sabbath. All I can say is I never know what to expect except the unexpected. And, I don’t hold onto any plans for each day because I know for certain it’s the Lord directing my steps and I let Holy Spirit lead as He wills.

Thank you Angela Murphy – it’s messages like yours that keep my wife and I running our race FULL ON!

From Angela;

“I’ve sat on that altar, was anointed and prayed over by Daddy Surf and another pastor that just happened to be in the shop that day.

I was also baptized by Daddy Surf right there on the Gulf.

An experience I’ll NEVER forget!!!!

What John is doing at his shop right there on the Gulf in PCB is nothing less than magical.

He’s definitely doing the Lords work!

If in PCB, stop in his shop and feel the love of the Lord working through him.”

I remember when my mentor and spiritual father ‘Pastor Kent Mattox’ told me that the Surfboard Prayer Bench was a ‘Touching Point’. I hadn’t heard of that, and he showed me in scripture references and explained them to me. The Lord had spoken to me about a dear friend (Scott Stansfield) who went to Pastor Kent’s church in Oxford Alabama (Word Alive International Outreach) The Lord spoke to me and said to travel there with the bench and to pray for Scott exactly how I pray for people here in the shop every day. It was absolutely amazing and supernatural what happened all that day (a Sunday) and I must have prayed for fifty or so people.

What I’m saying it’s not the bench – it’s Jesus Christ and nobody or nothing else to be credited. However, the Lord uses it and us as a vehicle to do His work AND we make sure He (Jesus Christ) receives all the glory.

I’ve seen skin diseases clear up right in front of my eyes, a foot grow back, swelling limbs return to normal, severe pain leave bodies, so many baptisms in the Holy Spirit and fire with people receiving their prayer languages, demons cast out and so much more. What makes this so unique is it’s done right smack dab in the middle of business hours while customers see it and know it’s real. It’s called ‘Marketplace Ministry’ in fullness and by the grace of God my wife and I are so humbled and honored to steward it.

We are in a transition right now and need Divine guidance from the Lord and Him alone because we want to be certain it’s His perfect will for us. With that said, I ask all of you who we love and know so dearly to please pray for us as we write the vision for 5784 and beyond. Thank y’all so very much!

Testimony – Titled ‘You Can’t Hide ANYTHING from the Lord !’

This is Maria (mom) & Anna (daughter ) from Tennessee. Not a doubt that Holy Spirit led them here. They even admitted it and acknowledged what happened, that they felt they had to come to the Surf Shop. And was it a coincidence that I just happened to be standing near the register when they were checking out? Certainly not – a GODINCIDENCE !

I introduced myself and said hello. Holy Spirit let me know without a doubt they needed prayer, so I simply asked them if they needed prayer for anything. They both smiled and said thank you but no. I just bluntly said, ‘No, you’re not telling me the truth! You can’t hide anything from the Lord!’ The moment I said it – WATERFALL! They both began crying , I mean CRYING! I said follow me and led them to our Surfboard Prayer bench where we removed our shoes – they were hesitant because they had just finished running but did. I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil. As Holy Spirit led me in my words, the healing came to whatever was weighing them down . Actually, he showed me much of their pain, particularly, in Anna the daughter. Together they must have used a half a box of tissues. And YES the Lord healed whatever was on them and released them from the weight – complete freedom in Christ Jesus! You can still see that their eyes are still red and swollen from all the crying – Glory Hallelujah to our King! He is SO faithful and delivers every single day ! Please keep them in your prayers as they go back home.

Powerful Testimony:  We have a small place just north in Vernon less than an hour away from the shop. It’s our ‘Quiet Place’ where Mommy Surf and I like to go to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the beach. However, yesterday evening, Mommy Surf spontaneously said, ‘Hey, let’s go up to Bonifay – 12 miles north of Vernon – and check out the Rodeo (NW Florida Rodeo Championships) We have never been to one before so we didn’t know what to expect. WOW it was an eye opener! There were literally thousands of people there. And what’s more amazing is how the Lord revealed to me the huge and somewhat different (from the beach) harvest of folks who were in need of Jesus Christ in SO many ways. The Lord kept showing me in the spirit person upon person needing salvation, and SO many people needing deliverance and healing physically, emotionally and spiritually. It was a significant time for me and then this: The Lord put me right next to a young man in a walker. He came up with his kids and brother. They were from Defuniak Springs. He looked like he was in severe pain and I mean severe! I went over to him and asked if he was okay. He said that they had to park a long ways away so he had to walk a long distance. He had a major hip replacement. I could see that there was much more going on with his health. He was in pretty bad condition. I immediately asked if I could pray with him and ask Jesus to remove his pain. He looked at me for a moment then said yes thank you. He said that he believed in Jesus and that the Bible says that we could be healed when we pray. I told him that I believed in everything scripture said and that what ‘is written’ in the Bible is that Jesus bore our sins, has set us free, and it was by His stripes that we ARE HEALED! Not ‘could be’ – It’s absolute Truth! I looked him straight in the eyes and adamantly said, Do you believe! – Jesus asked ‘Do you believe!’ So I’m speaking in the name of Jesus Christ – ‘DO YOU BELIEVE!’  He was kinda taken back but it totally changed his demeanor and said, ‘YES!’ I said I have some oil with me and we’re going to hold hands and I’m going to put my hands on the back of your neck and command your pain to leave in His Name Jesus Christ and it will leave. I had noticed people all around me were watching but didn’t know if they could hear all we were saying. I began to pray, anointing him with oil from his head to his legs. I knew immediately that the power of Holy Spirit came upon him because of his posture as he sat in his walker. He went limp. He looked at me with glassy eyes stood up and said wow I actually feel better. Wow my pain is gone! Hallelujah – thank you to our Lord and Savior and King Jesus Christ! He thanked me for taking the time to pray for him. I said it’s what I do and then told him who we (Mommy and Daddy Surf) were. His eyes popped wide open and he said that’s crazy, I used to surf all the time when I was younger and I bought surfboards from Mr Surf’s! I miss it! He and his brother surfed like crazy when they were younger. We talked for quite awhile while Lib and his kids and brother watched the rodeo. He’s got three beautiful and amazing kids and is bringing them up by himself. I not only actually prayed over him but also prophesied and told him that the Lord was so pleased with him because he was doing such a great work with his family, I had no idea he had kids. I’m telling you his kids were very well mannered – GOOD kids. Actually, when he introduced them to Lib and I, they all hugged us and his little one thanked me for praying for her daddy. I invited him and his kids to come to our shop. I wanted treat them to breakfast/ lunch then let them use some surfboards while they are at the beach. They all got excited! His brother took this picture. We all said our goodbyes and I know for certain we’ll be seeing them again soon! What an amazing night! Our God is so faithful and GOOD!

Fall 2023

So yesterday my wife (Mommy Surf ) and I (Daddy Surf ) came into the shop very early to organize inventory. I NEVER come in with her early, but she asked if I could help get some of the inventory out because it would be a busy day. I usually go right into my ‘Quiet Time’ with the Lord with a cup of coffee and Bible and notebook. However, this morning the Lord had other plans. As we worked, nobody was there yet, 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 brushed it off as we continued to work on 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 gate open. When I came back in Fi (Coffee Shop manager) said someone had gone in to the 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 they felt led (it was 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, we all removed our sandals, we covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil. The presence of Holy Spirit was so heavy and the temperature went up! They both needed so much healing and wept and wept and wept as Holy Spirit touched them both filling their empty and dry out cups. What’s even more remarkable is 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! They were both absolutely amazed and started laughing – 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 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 Julie surrendered her life to the Lord and was baptized in the Holy Spirit! I explained everything to her and showed her in scripture everything I explained. We also gave them very nice 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. There was an older gentleman, (a prophet of the Lord) with a long white beard btw, sitting all by himself on the beach 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 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!

Fall 2023

I dropped in the shop to drop off something and scoot home. However, as I turned to leave a man walked in (Coach Kendrick – see pic) from Atlanta. He came right up to me and asked, ‘Are you John?!’ very adamant like he was on a mission. I immediately knew ‘Okay Lord, what now?’. I said, ‘yes sir that be me, what has the Lord sent you here for? Kendrick then said I was sent here by ‘Duck Dynasty’, a man at a restaurant in the bathroom who told me to come here and talk to you. We had kindred spirits and I knew for certain when he told me to come here you would have something for me. ‘
– I’m not kidding you folks this is actually stuff that goes on –
I looked at him then realized it was ‘Joe’ a prophet that he was talking about who was on the beach when my wife and I baptized a young lady ‘Maria’. To make a long story short because A LOT happened here, we spent over an hour talking. I shared deep Truth and words Holy Spirit gave me to speak to him. I also sat him on our Surfboard Prayer Bench, covered him with the Talit, anointed him with oil and we prayed. As Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak, it was no coincidence that as I did the song that came out over our PA system lined up with what the Lord had me speak! Coach Kendrick couldn’t believe it. The power of God came upon us both and Kendrick went limp and fell out on the bench. I had to let him sit there for awhile while Holy Spirit did what needed to be done. I

Fall 2023

This is Jim and Sandy from Tennessee. They just happened to come in the shop as I popped in to get something – NOT! Actually, Jim literally said that the Lord had him turn his car around to come to the shop – Holy Spirit for sure!

I met Jim at the register as I walked in and I don’t know exactly how we got into a conversation about Jesus – Holy Spirit did- but I discovered his twin brother has cancer. I immediately knew that the Lord had brought him in not only to pray, but for an impartation as well. His wife (Sandy) said that they knew what I did because they had been in the shop several times before (they visit PCB often) and had watched me praying with people at the Surfboard Prayer bench, with my Talit before. I began to go directly to the deeper things in scripture, particularly, what Jesus Christ did when ALL were healed who came to him. As I spoke both Jim and Sandy began to tear up as Holy Spirit came upon them, so I immediately took them to the Prayer Bench, covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil. Both were weeping and weeping as we brought all their requests to the Altar, and Holy Spirit guided my words – so beautiful and powerful. Again, Jim said without a doubt the Lord had him turn his car around and come to the shop because it was just what they needed and the Lord knew it!

Winter 2023

I rode my bike to the beach the other evening to take some pictures of the absolutely amazing sunset. As I rode my bike, I just about stopped at the Beach access point I had planned to go to. However, the Lord had other plans, and for some odd reason I kept on going and went to another one further down the road. When it’s ‘Odd’ it’s ‘God’ which certainly was in this case.
I had my Talit, anointing oil, shofar and my mini blaster to play my prophetic music. I got to the access and set up an altar unto the Lord to pray and end the day by blowing the shofar. As I prayed and at the same time listening to my music, the sun began to sink into the distant horizon of the Gulf. I lifted the shofar and sounded trumpet! All I can say is it was supernaturally magical. When finished, I heard someone crying 😭 behind me. I turned around and this lady came right up to me and hugged me weeping, and weeping as she thanked me for answering her prayers! I was stunned 😳 I didn’t know what to do. She then told me she had asked the Lord to give her a sign that he was listening to her prayers and I showed up. I knew immediately why the Lord had me come to this one particular location. HOWEVER, it gets much more crazy than this. Two people the Lord had me pray over in the shop earlier that morning (Woody and Robin) came running over yelling my name, ‘JOHN! JOHN!’ it’s us! It’s us!
Robin said she felt compelled to go down to the beach from the condo where they were staying and didn’t know why. When they heard the shofar they knew it was me! You cannot make this stuff up – totally GOD!
To make a long story short. I ministered to the lady, covered her with my Talit and anointed her with oil. Holy Spirit did whatever He had to do and I prophesied the words He gave me as she needed emotional healing and a strengthening of her spirit. Woody and Robin stood watching us and praising how good our God is! The entire scene was absolutely beautiful, amazing, overwhelming and so much more as so was the colors of the sky around us.

Winter 2023

The picture you see is just one appointment. Mom (Adrienne) brought in her daughter ‘Alyssa’ for me to pray with because of some things weighing her down. Interestingly, I was going through a similar thing so it wasn’t a coincidence she had brought her in. Mom had her other two daughters with her, ‘Gabrielle and Cassie’ so we all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed our shoes, and I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil – a first for them all. We prayed, and as I did, the Lord gave me specific words for each one of them. Alyssa was set free from the oppressiveness that was weighing on her. It was powerful, and mom said every word that was spoken was spot on and some of the words that she’s been praying about over her daughters! We must have spent an hour+ discussing deep things of God and scriptures. What was encouraging is that Alyssa told me there is something special about this place. She said she and her friends were always drawn here. Particularly, when she was in high school having a difficult time in her life. I didn’t even know they had been coming here. God is SO absolutely amazing!
Well I’m going into my prayers momentarily then headed out to the beach for possibly an early morning surf before going to work.

Winter 2023

This is the couple (dad and mom) called the shop Monday saying that they were driving more than seven hours away to come to the shop, meet and pray with me. I was like WHAT! Seven hours plus! Why me and why here? Holy Spirit revealed they knew about Jesus . but had no revelation of what baptism of Holy Spirit and fire (see scripture) was. I spent almost two hours going through scripture – over the phone with the. They got it! So I said do you want to receive this baptism. We can ask the Lord right now if you truly desire it He will do it – period! They said with an adamant response – YES! YES! YES! So I called to my employee Dorsie and we both prayed with them and asked the Lord to baptize them with the Holy Ghost. The presence of Holy Spirit was so powerful (and filled their car) that they both wept and were so overwhelmed they had to immediately pull off the road!
They were still adamant about coming to the shop, and when their daughter heard they were coming to the Surf Shop, she said I’m going with y’all! They came today (three days later and yes seven plus hours away) and we spent most the day in fellowship and sharing things about how the Lord was orchestrating so much in our lives.
We baptized them in our baptismal outside in our COURTYARD.  Afterwards, we went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench where we all removed our shoes, and I anointed them with oil and covered them with the Talit all as a prophetic act to honor Christ. The mom desired to receive her prayer language and the daughter needed healing. To make a long story short, Robin (my employee) and I prayed over them. The Lord had me speak prophecy over each one, and healing for the daughter. The power and presence of Holy Spirit came upon us all. They wept, the daughter basically fell out and mom wept while praying in tounges! What’s also absolutely amazing is the entire shop was shaken and the people in the shop couldn’t deny His presence! Justin Moses, a regular here at the shop, was across the room from where we were and said it was so powerful he felt the ground shake!
All I will say is these words CANNOT BEGIN to describe how powerful it was. You simply had to be there – period.
Every time these Divine encounters occurs, which is quite often, it still totally and absolutely blows me away! I truly believe this is just the beginning of an incredible increase which is forthcoming.
My wife and I are SO completely in and committed to whatever He (the Lord) has in store. Come see us this weekend. We close early Christmas Eve.
Merry Merry CHRISTmas 🎄
Jesus Christ is the reason for the season!

Winter 2023

I prayed and was honored and blessed to pray the Aaronic Blessing over two young couples that just came together in engagement to be married. The one picture you see of the young couple under the Talit, were completely overwhelmed by Holy Spirit and wept as I prayed over them. The shop was full of customers all day, and they were in complete awe as what they witnessed the Lord doing and couldn’t deny it was of God – the Ekklesia with no restrictions whatsoever. What a CHRISTmas Eve day it was! At the end of the day, I was exhausted. I try to keep up with the testimonials but they just happen one after another. One day I’ll get a book going and out for all to read. Until then I’m going to end with the words from the song, ‘O Holy Night’ for such an appropriate time as this:
“O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
‘Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle, we stand.
,So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the Wise Men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our Friend.
He knows our need— to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend!
Truly, He taught us to love one another;
His law is love, and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother,
And in His name, all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim!”

Winter 2023

I’m sure everyone is winding down with all the things pertaining to Christmas, now our hearts ❤️ and minds turn toward the coming New Year 2024. Accordingly, we’re already in the New Year 5784 which many are saying is the ‘Year of the Open Door’ meaning closing those doors of the past and moving through to a greater hope in all God has ordained for our lives into the next year and beyond.
It is very important that we heed God’s word which we’re blessed to freely have in our possession – the Bible. However, it’s also up to each one of us, individually, whether we want to pick it up, open the pages, read and ask the Lord for deeper revelation and what He is saying to us as we read it. Yes, it’s important we have mentors, pastors and teachers, but I believe it’s of utmost importance that we each sit quietly alone, and particularly, with the one/s who are closest to us and pray and read together with our Father – I call Him ‘Papa God’.
I believe this coming year is going to be very challenging to say the least, as well as, many others are also saying. I also believe being Biblically founded will build a solid foundation for securing us as we’ll begin to see things we’ve never seen before AND keep ‘FEAR’ at bay.
There’s only One thing that can root out and protect you and I from the increasing and oncoming darkness that is coming forth (it’s in scripture) – His name is Jesus Christ, the Light who came forth and darkness couldn’t overcome It (Him) and never will. Do you have His Light shining bright in your life? If not pick up a Bible and begin in John 1, John 2 and John 3 then read The Gospel of John – a good place to start. Before reading, ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes and ears and read the words ‘aloud’ as you read. I’ll be getting a Beach 🏝️ Report up shortly. Until then here’s a Testimony from the Surf Shop:
This dad and daughter came in to do some last minute Christmas shopping. As they were checking out we all said ‘Merry Christmas’, however the dad added, ’And may you be blessed 😇 and keep on doing what the Lord has you doing here. May you have a wonderful new year because I know I will have a much better one than I did this year! – and he said very adamant! I said, ‘Whoa, what’s up, what do you mean by that? Then he disclosed his story of how he almost died. He was in the hospital and they about killed him.
He has a very rare debilitating nerve disease (he said it but too difficult to pronounce) that is attacking his body. They misdiagnosed him and the treatment almost killed him among other things.
The disease slowly paralyzes the body from the legs up even affecting the lungs making it difficult to breathe. I immediately and FIRMLY said – ‘You are not here by coincidence! The Lord has brought you here to be healed!!!
I then adamantly began to state the case of why I knew so and began to share everything I have seen Jesus Christ do and what He says (the Living Word of God) about healing. The man didn’t argue. He didn’t shy away. He just smiled! The daughter was taken aback by it all. I said that there’s a certain way I like to pray with folks when they come in. It’s just how the Lord has me – Daddy Surf – do it and I do it all as a prophetic act to honor Him, ‘Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.’ So I took him AND his daughter to our Surfboard Prayer Bench, we removed our shoes, I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil. The dad knew everything about what I was doing. He had attended ‘Oral Roberts College’. I don’t know if y’all know who Oral Roberts was, but he was a mighty mighty man of God!
As we talked momentarily, I explained to his daughter about the Talit and oil and so forth. As I began to speak over her, she lost it! She just broke down in tears and couldn’t stop crying. I told her it was Holy Spirit and that the Lord was holding her and breaking down whatever was weighing her down and so forth. The air temperature around us went up and it got very warm, as it does quite often when the power of God falls. People began to come into the shop, as most often occurs, and they encounter and witness the power of the Living Word at work with no restrictions whatsoever. The father on the other hand was sweating and teared up as the Lord healed him. How do I know? The pain in his body left completely! I’m telling you folks – THIS IS SO REAL! Jesus Christ is who He says He is and He’s still on earth walking and living in those who truly believe and step out in complete boldness of faith! Knowing and believing that what the Word says is what it is – Absolute Truth! Here’s the amazing thing – the father came back to the shop afterwards to thank me and said, ‘God has given you a special gift- keep using it, it will only intensify.’ I said thank you. He then told me that it was the Lord who brought him in because he wasn’t supposed to be there with his daughter. He decided to go to the coffee shop at the last moment. He said that his daughter and her husband came in frequently and had told him how special this place was. He also said that they were stuck in religion and he was praying that they would encounter the Holy Spirit because their church didn’t emphasize the baptism of Holy Spirit 🌊and fire 🔥. He said that after they left, his daughter talked to him and asked him what had happened because she was still trying to take it all in. He was now able to explain it to her! He had been praying for this moment. The daughter and her husband live right down the street from the shop. The father is from up north visiting this week for the holidays.
They are all coming back, and I will certainly see the daughter and her husband at our ‘Gatherings’ which will start back up again in 2024.

Winter 2023

What an incredibly powerful time it’s been the last few days! The Divine encounters accompanied by supernatural natural events can ONLY BE attributed to what it says in scripture about not only will we (His obedient and faithful followers) see and do the things He did, but we’ll do greater things!
John 14:12-14
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
In the midst of crowds of people watching in wonder and amazement:
– a woman who went on a mission trip to Honduras to minister to young women in human trafficking and was exposed to heavy witchcraft, came back extremely oppressed. Holy Spirit brought her to the shop to be delivered. The moment I saw her at the register, I immediately sensed something was wrong with her, so I approached her and told her so. I never met this woman, and I knew nothing about her or the trip. She was with her friend and they let me know what was going on. To make a long story short. We all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, where we all removed our shoes, I covered both of them with my Talit and anointed them with oil. As I prayed over them, particularly, the one who was oppressed, the unclean spirit began to manifest and eventually was cast out in the name of Jesus Christ all while the store was filled with customers who stood by totally astonished witnessing it all go down – no bars held, no restrictions. The Ekklesia in action!
– In another encounter a man who was in ‘SEVERE’ pain from a progressive onset of MS was immediately healed from his pain after I anointed him with oil and commanded the sickness to begin to dissipate and the pain to leave his body in the name of Jesus Christ. Again people stood around watching and listening as the power of God came upon us. Not one person could deny the presence of Holy Spirit, even if they didn’t understand what / who it was filled the atmosphere – it was absolutely real!
I could go on and on with encounter one after another. It never slows down and never gets old.
My wife and I were humbled and honored to baptize a young man who I had ministered to more than a year ago and recently made the decision to surrender his life to Christ COMPLETELY and be baptized. He wanted us to be the ones to baptize him in water 💦 AND yes, I went through scripture and explained the baptism of Holy Spirit 🌊 and fire 🔥 (it’s all throughout scripture). He fully understood it and he received the baptism also. What’s interesting is I have more people coming in, most likely next week (2024), to be baptized in water and with the Holy Spirit and fire and also desiring discipleship. We will begin our meetings once again sometime next month. We took a Sabbatical for a couple months. The Lord has let us know it’s time to start up once again because things are going to begin to escalate.
Please keep us in your prayers as we are on the frontline and it gets tough at times. We truly and greatly appreciate your prayers!

The picture of the young kids standing with me were shopping, and our employee Jen asked me to go talk with them and tell them the story behind our ‘Last Bonfire’ T-shirt as they were looking at buying it.
To make a long story short, they’re visiting PCB from a very small town in Tennessee and go to a church that’s basically boxed up in religion. The church doesn’t let the Holy Spirit free like, so many churches do, – ‘dry bones’ restricting the power of God to move freely among the people. I must have spent two hours + with them talking about the Lord, sharing testimonies, scripture and teaching them about the prophetic. They would ask questions, and I’d correlate everything with scripture in Old and New Testament. They said they never really had the Old Testament shared with them and when I showed them that the Old Testament concealed the New Testament and the New Testament revealed the Old Testament and showed them how they were actually parallel and complemented each other, they were totally blown away. They’re here for the week and asked if they could come back and learn more. I said, ‘Certainly YES!’ They were like sponges soaking it all in. We all ended up going to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, where we removed our shoes, I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil and we prayed. The power of Holy Spirit came upon them and they were overwhelmed as the Lord embraced them and took them all to a whole new level of faith and their walk with Jesus! This never gets old and I’ll be seeing them tomorrow and throughout next week.

This is the Rubolin Joe Rubolin Christine Rubolin Cassandra Rubolin family from Alabama. Joe and his wife are Pastors and they are prophetic, as well as their daughter. Joe came in at the will of Holy Spirit to be healed. When he approached me, he couldn’t open his mouth due to ‘lock jaw’ caused from cancer and damage caused to the treatments. He spoke but it was very difficult to understand him. The moment he told me of his condition, I was overwhelmed by Holy Spirit and couldn’t help speaking in Tounges. This most often occurs when I know for certain I have to pray for that person and the Lord is about to do a mighty / supernatural thing.
I immediately told him, his wife and daughter that I wanted to take them all straight to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, where I covered them with the Talit and anointed them all with oil and we all removed our shoes. I do all of this as a prophetic act to honor the Lord. The moment we all sat down, I knew something powerful was about to happen because my body was trembling and I immediately heard a word from the Lord about their daughter and shared it with them. Then as I began to pray, it got hot! Temperature went up as the power of God came upon us AND I noticed the shop began, as usually happens, to fill up with people and some were drawn to where we were praying to witness the healing! Yes, healing as Jesus Christ broke the stronghold that had locked Joe’s jaw – it was radical! Joe began weeping and praying in Tounges then thanking Jesus over and over so much clearer than when he first arrived. Not only was I totally blown away but everyone around us who witnessed it was also. Dorsie, our employee, was rejoicing. Mom and daughter were crying – it was so absolutely beautiful and amazing all at the same time as we all rejoiced. Pastor Joe just kept thanking and praising Jesus!
I’m telling you folks – this is the CHURCH / EKKLESIA IN FULL ACTION NO RESTRICTIONS WHATSOEVER!
Glory Hallelujah we give every bit of praise and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! There are many times I find myself on my knees weeping and weeping when I’m alone with the Lord as I look back on all He’s doing and allows me to be a part of. It’s the most humbling thing one can know. He desires to use each and everyone one of us to be His hands and feet on the earth and to carry out all that Jesus Christ has asked us to until we’re called home to heaven or He returns.
By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. (1 John 4:13)

2023

A long post so read through if you feel led to – Thank you 🙏
Good New Year’s Eve everyone!
Just a few more hours away from moving out of 2023 and into 2024 according to the Gregorian calendar (we’re already in 5784 as per the Hebraic calendar)
As most always happens, I was planning to do a Livestream earlier today and sharing what I sensed the Lord was speaking and revealing to me for 2024 which many are saying is the ‘Year of the Open Door.’ However, once again it got very busy with God activities all day long at the shop, so I never got a chance and I’ll be heading to bed here shortly – I AM POOPED!
I began pressing into what the Lord might be revealing to me very early this morning. Here’s some notes and words I wrote as I was still, and pondered on what Holy Spirit was speaking:
– Wisdom
– Revelation
– Discernment
Continue / remain steadfast in humility and a repentant heart
Stay in the Sabbath (God’s rest) that’s where there’s power
Then I heard the words ‘True and Spotless’
Jesus Christ is Truth and He was the Spotless Lamb who was slain for our sins. I heard the Father say because of that He sees me ‘spotless’ and I began to weep deeply thinking about how a God could love me so much!
I read my Devotion for today, opened my Bible to the scripture it was referencing and wrote:
Key Points to Prophesy for 2024
A time to fully mature in righteousness as individuals, families, communities and as a nation. To truly be just and upright founded in God’s word. A time to allow the God of peace who raised our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, make us complete in EVERY good work to do His will and what is pleasing to Him through Christ Jesus.
I then watched WAIO Word Alive International Outreach and the message resonated strongly in my spirit as I heard Pastor Kent Kent Mattox (we consider him to be our spiritual father) say ‘Today is 123123 (12/31/23)’
#1 = unity #2 =faithful witness , set apart #3 = completion.
123 together = PROGRESSION
This is a year we will progress into our destiny according to God’s timing for our lives. Also a word from Jeff Digby a friend and brother in Christ also at WAIO said this year we are to keep in step with the Lord and dance leaving today (123123) and into next year as we do when we step and dance – 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 etc etc etc and so on.
As I left the house and headed to the shop, I met our friends Cody N Britney Grube who are visiting and the Lord had me release this prophetic word with only a few people there:
2024 The DOOR will open and usher in — The New Glory. He is doing a New Thing in the earth Tonight at midnight it will happen! (I clapped my hands loudly and there was a POP!) It will usher in!
Note: Cohen only twelve was sitting in front of me when I clapped AND he immediately said (he’s anointed and out of the mouths of babes) Mr. John do you know what I saw when you clapped your hands? I saw ‘FIREWORKS’ now that folks is a Word! I continued on with the prophetic word I heard from the Lord – The New Glory will explode like FIREWORKS ushering in a move of God on the earth like we’ve never seen before.
It will be awesome! However, when God moves the enemy will counter. A two-fold effect will occur:
AWAKEN – Awake
AWOKEN – Woke
This will cause a ‘Great Shaking’ that so many are talking about.
Some to Awake and some to Woke
We already see this taking place but it will intensify and intensify fast and furious as we progress into and through this next year. We will see the line clearly divided.
Brittany (Cohen’s mom) was standing there listening to all of this then immediately heard the scripture:
Isaiah (59:19 In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the Lord.)
That’s all what I sensed the Lord was showing me – for now at least. I know one thing for sure is that I’ll be spending much more time in my ‘Secret Place’ and out in the country ( wilderness) where it’s so much more peaceful.
Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️and I (Daddy 🏄‍♂️) we love ❤️ y’all and wish y’all a beautifully blessed 😇 and Divinely prosperous New Year in 2024. Be safe this evening. We SO GREATLY appreciate your prayers.

This is an excellent word and SPOT ON from Nate Johnston. To be honest, it’s just how God has wired some of us. We carry a ‘Ferocity of Fire 🔥’ and are very frustrated with what Nate says about ‘Tamed Religion’. It’s plain and simple truth! To the majority of people in church we are too ‘radical’ ‘too intense’ and to many of our fellow brothers and sisters we seem,,as Nate says, ‘undignified’. However, I believe the time of the ‘clash of kingdoms’ (dark and light) is now upon the earth. Yes it’s been here and it has been building up. However, I believe that as we move into this year, particularly being an election year, it will escalate and we’ll see many sudden events occurring at a progressive pace. Those who know what I’m saying – know.
Below is a word I impressed to post with this evening’s sunset 🌅 pictures at the beach. You can do what you want with it. It’s what the Lord was speaking to me.
Y’all have a wonderful night and be blessed 😇 – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️
The word:
As I went to do my livestream yesterday morning, I heard the Lord say, ‘Lion, Ox, Man and Eagle.’ That’s all I heard, but it was very clear. I pondered on it and asked Him what it meant. I believe the Lord was saying, “John don’t worry what man may think or say – just be! Just as ‘I Am’, you be” – meaning be who He designed me to be / has wired me. I believe He was saying it’s time to step up and move forth as the ‘Lion, Ox, Man, and Eagle’. That’s it – that’s all I believe I heard. Then this morning I got up very early and again, pondered on all this as I began my ‘Quiet Time with the Lord’. I began digging into scripture. As I did here’s what I wrote:
The LION, OX, MAN & EAGLE
The creatures (or sometimes referred as – four faces or God) represent four aspects of Christ Jesus as the Lion, the Ox, the Man, and the Eagle. In all four of these aspects Christ Jesus is supreme Lord.
As the lion, the Lord Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. . . .
As the ‘Lion of Judah,’ Jesus is portrayed as a powerful and authoritative figure, a fearless warrior against evil, and a protective savior for His people. Moreover, the ‘Lion of Judah’ symbolizes Jesus’ royal lineage.
Joel 3:16 The Lord will roar like a lion from Jerusalem; his loud voice will thunder from that city, and the sky and the earth will shake.
– I believe the Lord is saying to me, ‘John, you are to ‘ROAR’ like a lion! Speak My word loudly and boldly with My authority and power. “Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29
As the Ox, Christ is represented as the servant of God, and the servant of men. . . . Mark describes Christ in this respect. “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” (Mark 10:45). And in Isaiah 42:1 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.
– I believe the Lord is saying to me, ‘John, I have put My Spirit on you. You are to serve mankind. I will be sending you to this nation and nations. Be ready! I have been preparing you for such a time as this. For I will bring justice through My words which you will speak.
As the man, the Lord Jesus is a lover, a friend, a companion, an associate, and a leader. . . . Christ is described so in many aspects throughout scripture.
John 15:15 “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”
John 15:13-14 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.”
James 2:23 “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
– I know the Lord is saying to me that He is my Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Friend, AND because of this I fear no evil. I will and can do whatever He asks and go wherever He wills because He leads me. His glory is my rear guard and He hems me in on every side. The Lord reminds me in Proverbs 18:24 “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
And as the eagle, the Lord Jesus is God Himself, He is Deity, eternal, all-seeing, and all-powerful, . . . His deity is fully described in the Gospel of John and throughout scripture:
Psalm 11:4 “The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.”
Proverbs 15:23 “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good”
John 1:12-13 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Isaiah 55:11 “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
– I know the Lord is the Living Word within me. I believe He is saying, ‘John, what you declare and decree according to My Word is and shall be! Now go forth through the Open Door of 2024 and ROAR. It’s a time to war! War with every word and promise that I have spoken and written for you and your wife and for what I have etched on your hearts. For now is the time. Now is the season. Enter in for more in 2024!
These four aspects (Lion, Ox, Man, Eagle) of the Saviour are revealed again in Ezekiel 10:14 and in Revelation 4:6-7

Winter 2023

What an incredibly powerful time it’s been the last few days! The Divine encounters accompanied by supernatural natural events can ONLY BE attributed to what it says in scripture about not only will we (His obedient and faithful followers) see and do the things He did, but we’ll do greater things!
John 14:12-14
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
In the midst of crowds of people watching in wonder and amazement:
– a woman who went on a mission trip to Honduras to minister to young women in human trafficking and was exposed to heavy witchcraft, came back extremely oppressed. Holy Spirit brought her to the shop to be delivered. The moment I saw her at the register, I immediately sensed something was wrong with her, so I approached her and told her so. I never met this woman, and I knew nothing about her or the trip. She was with her friend and they let me know what was going on. To make a long story short. We all went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, where we all removed our shoes, I covered both of them with my Talit and anointed them with oil. As I prayed over them, particularly, the one who was oppressed, the unclean spirit began to manifest and eventually was cast out in the name of Jesus Christ all while the store was filled with customers who stood by totally astonished witnessing it all go down – no bars held, no restrictions. The Ekklesia in action!
– In another encounter a man who was in ‘SEVERE’ pain from a progressive onset of MS was immediately healed from his pain after I anointed him with oil and commanded the sickness to begin to dissipate and the pain to leave his body in the name of Jesus Christ. Again people stood around watching and listening as the power of God came upon us. Not one person could deny the presence of Holy Spirit, even if they didn’t understand what / who it was filled the atmosphere – it was absolutely real!
I could go on and on with encounter one after another. It never slows down and never gets old.
My wife and I were humbled and honored to baptize a young man who I had ministered to more than a year ago and recently made the decision to surrender his life to Christ COMPLETELY and be baptized. He wanted us to be the ones to baptize him in water 💦 AND yes, I went through scripture and explained the baptism of Holy Spirit 🌊 and fire 🔥 (it’s all throughout scripture). He fully understood it and he received the baptism also. What’s interesting is I have more people coming in, most likely next week (2024), to be baptized in water and with the Holy Spirit and fire and also desiring discipleship. We will begin our meetings once again sometime next month. We took a Sabbatical for a couple months. The Lord has let us know it’s time to start up once again because things are going to begin to escalate.
Please keep us in your prayers as we are on the frontline and it gets tough at times. We truly and greatly appreciate your prayers!
The Lord is really moving but also know this – the enemy will move also. I believe it’ll be a two-fold effect: a Great Awakening accompanied by a Great Shaking.
To all who are reading this:
BE PREPARED because it’s just beginning. Pics are from this evening on the beach and today’s baptism.
Y’all be blessed 😇 and have a wonderful night. – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ over and out!

Winter 2023

This is the Rubolin family from Alabama. Joe and his wife are Pastors and they are prophetic, as well as their daughter. Joe came in at the will of Holy Spirit to be healed. When he approached me, he couldn’t open his mouth due to ‘lock jaw’ caused from cancer and damage caused to the treatments. He spoke but it was very difficult to understand him. The moment he told me of his condition, I was overwhelmed by Holy Spirit and couldn’t help speaking in Tounges. This most often occurs when I know for certain I have to pray for that person and the Lord is about to do a mighty / supernatural thing.
I immediately told him, his wife and daughter that I wanted to take them all straight to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, where I covered them with the Talit and anointed them all with oil and we all removed our shoes. I do all of this as a prophetic act to honor the Lord. The moment we all sat down, I knew something powerful was about to happen because my body was trembling and I immediately heard a word from the Lord about their daughter and shared it with them. Then as I began to pray, it got hot! Temperature went up as the power of God came upon us AND I noticed the shop began, as usually happens, to fill up with people and some were drawn to where we were praying to witness the healing! Yes, healing as Jesus Christ broke the stronghold that had locked Joe’s jaw – it was radical! Joe began weeping and praying in Tounges then thanking Jesus over and over so much clearer than when he first arrived. Not only was I totally blown away but everyone around us who witnessed it was also. Dorsie, our employee, was rejoicing. Mom and daughter were crying – it was so absolutely beautiful and amazing all at the same time as we all rejoiced. Pastor Joe just kept thanking and praising Jesus!
I’m telling you folks – this is the CHURCH / EKKLESIA IN FULL ACTION NO RESTRICTIONS WHATSOEVER!
Glory Hallelujah we give every bit of praise and honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! There are many times I find myself on my knees weeping and weeping when I’m alone with the Lord as I look back on all He’s doing and allows me to be a part of. It’s the most humbling thing one can know. He desires to use each and everyone one of us to be His hands and feet on the earth and to carry out all that Jesus Christ has asked us to until we’re called home to heaven or He returns.
By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. (1 John 4:13)

Winter 2023

The picture of the young kids standing with me were shopping, and our employee Jen asked me to go talk with them and tell them the story behind our ‘Last Bonfire’ T-shirt as they were looking at buying it.
To make a long story short, they’re visiting PCB from a very small town in Tennessee and go to a church that’s basically boxed up in religion. The church doesn’t let the Holy Spirit free like, so many churches do, – ‘dry bones’ restricting the power of God to move freely among the people. I must have spent two hours + with them talking about the Lord, sharing testimonies, scripture and teaching them about the prophetic. They would ask questions, and I’d correlate everything with scripture in Old and New Testament. They said they never really had the Old Testament shared with them and when I showed them that the Old Testament concealed the New Testament and the New Testament revealed the Old Testament and showed them how they were actually parallel and complemented each other, they were totally blown away. They’re here for the week and asked if they could come back and learn more. I said, ‘Certainly YES!’ They were like sponges soaking it all in. We all ended up going to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, where we removed our shoes, I covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil and we prayed. The power of Holy Spirit came upon them and they were overwhelmed as the Lord embraced them and took them all to a whole new level of faith and their walk with Jesus! This never gets old and I’ll be seeing them tomorrow and throughout next week.

New Year's Eve 2023

A long post so read through if you feel led to – Thank you 🙏
Good New Year’s Eve everyone!
Just a few more hours away from moving out of 2023 and into 2024 according to the Gregorian calendar (we’re already in 5784 as per the Hebraic calendar)
As most always happens, I was planning to do a Livestream earlier today and sharing what I sensed the Lord was speaking and revealing to me for 2024 which many are saying is the ‘Year of the Open Door.’ However, once again it got very busy with God activities all day long at the shop, so I never got a chance and I’ll be heading to bed here shortly – I AM POOPED!
I began pressing into what the Lord might be revealing to me very early this morning. Here’s some notes and words I wrote as I was still, and pondered on what Holy Spirit was speaking:
– Wisdom
– Revelation
– Discernment
Continue / remain steadfast in humility and a repentant heart
Stay in the Sabbath (God’s rest) that’s where there’s power
Then I heard the words ‘True and Spotless’
Jesus Christ is Truth and He was the Spotless Lamb who was slain for our sins. I heard the Father say because of that He sees me ‘spotless’ and I began to weep deeply thinking about how a God could love me so much!
I read my Devotion for today, opened my Bible to the scripture it was referencing and wrote:
Key Points to Prophesy for 2024
A time to fully mature in righteousness as individuals, families, communities and as a nation. To truly be just and upright founded in God’s word. A time to allow the God of peace who raised our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, make us complete in EVERY good work to do His will and what is pleasing to Him through Christ Jesus.
I then watched WAIO (Word Alive International Outreach) and the message resonated strongly in my spirit as I heard Pastor Kent (we consider him to be our spiritual father) say ‘Today is 123123 (12/31/23)’
#1 = unity #2 =faithful witness , set apart #3 = completion.
123 together = PROGRESSION
This is a year we will progress into our destiny according to God’s timing for our lives. Also a word from Jeff Digby a friend and brother in Christ also at WAIO said this year we are to keep in step with the Lord and dance leaving today (123123) and into next year as we do when we step and dance – 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 and 1 2 3 etc etc etc and so on.
As I left the house and headed to the shop, I met our friends Cody & Brittany Grube who are visiting and the Lord had me release this prophetic word with only a few people there:
2024 The DOOR will open and usher in — The New Glory. He is doing a New Thing in the earth Tonight at midnight it will happen! (I clapped my hands loudly and there was a POP!) It will usher in!
Note: Cohen only twelve was sitting in front of me when I clapped AND he immediately said (he’s anointed and out of the mouths of babes) Mr. John do you know what I saw when you clapped your hands? I saw ‘FIREWORKS’ now that folks is a Word! I continued on with the prophetic word I heard from the Lord – The New Glory will explode like FIREWORKS ushering in a move of God on the earth like we’ve never seen before.
It will be awesome! However, when God moves the enemy will counter. A two-fold effect will occur:
AWAKEN – Awake
AWOKEN – Woke
This will cause a ‘Great Shaking’ that so many are talking about.
Some to Awake and some to Woke
We already see this taking place but it will intensify and intensify fast and furious as we progress into and through this next year. We will see the line clearly divided.
Brittany (Cohen’s mom) was standing there listening to all of this then immediately heard the scripture:
Isaiah (59:19 In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord; in the east, they will glorify him. For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the Lord.)
That’s all what I sensed the Lord was showing me – for now at least. I know one thing for sure is that I’ll be spending much more time in my ‘Secret Place’ and out in the country ( wilderness) where it’s so much more peaceful.

Winter 2024

As I was sitting tonight casually talking with the Lord, I opened my Devotional to read hoping and asking the Lord to please help me with where He desires me to fit in during this season. I don’t know about you but I feel I’m at a place of Crossroads.
The scripture for the devotional was Jeremiah 6:16! Totally not a coincidence but a GODINCIDENCE!
“This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. . . . “
I sat back, looked up and asked what path? I went back to read the devotional again in more depth, and unknowingly, the page had turned and read a different scripture that answered my question!
Only God!!! This was the answer:
1 Thessalonians 4:9-12
9 Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
I felt a peace as I knew He said, ‘John, just keep on doing what you’re doing however ‘love your brothers and sisters more and more’.
He (the Lord) blows my mind more and more every day! Good night 😴 y’all. I’m pooped and headed to bed. Hope this brought a smile 😊 to your face. – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ over and out!

Winter 2023

Good evening Everyone, hope all is well with y’all and that you’re having a wonderfully blessed 😇 weekend. So much going on at Mr. Surfs Surf Shop
First off, we had surf all day and although weather and water are somewhat chilly 🥶 lots of surfers and skimmers out on the beach. No surfable waves tomorrow but I believe there’ll be small skim. On another note – wow, Wow 😯 WOW 😮! What a radical couple days it has been. So, if you want to read on, read on as I share some powerful Testimonies from the Surf Shop. However, there’s so many piling up, I’ll try to post as many as I can but it may take some time. This is a few but be a bit long, but a well worth read:
Pic 1 & 2 is our dear friends Ray and Alexa Carsella from Miami Florida. I’ve known them for several years. They are here to help folks affected by the Tornado – spirit filled Christians and prophetic. Alexa brought Ray in to encounter Holy Spirit for the first time and to be baptized at the shop several years ago. He was our FIRST baptism out in the Courtyard and still reads daily from the Bible I gave him that day!
Now on to the Testimonies –
1. As I walked into the shop, I recognized a mom and her daughters who were with their grandmother. I had prayed over the mom and daughters in the past but couldn’t quite remember when. However, along with recognizing them, Holy Spirit immediately impressed they needed prayer for something, but I didn’t hear a clear word from the Lord about what it was. As I was talking with Alexa and Ray, I stopped for a minute and walked over to greet them as they were sitting eating and drinking coffee. We all said hello, then I told them Holy Spirit impressed me I needed to pray for them for something. They immediately knew what it was – Healing for grandma (a skin disease) and family prayer because a granddaughter was getting married. We all went over to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed our shoes, and I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil all as a prophetic act to honor the Lord ( just how Papa God has me pray most of the time although I don’t have to). However, it was more than that – it opened the opportunity to share the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire in fullness according to scripture (Matthew 3:11) To make a long story short what the Lord brought them in for was done! They both thanked me so much for taking the time and it brought them both to a whole new level in their faith and understanding the Word.
2. As I returned to meet with my friends Alexa and Ray, we watched some folks come in. They were Elders of Jehovah Witness. I immediately recognized them because I knew who they were and had seen them elsewhere before. Now Alexa and Ray are spirit filled and prophetic, and I said, ‘Watch closely – Holy Spirit has brought them in to minister to them. I don’t have to do a thing. We just smiled and watched and could see they knew something was different in the atmosphere as they walked around. They sat and drank coffee while Holy Spirit did whatever He was doing (ministering to them). I see this happen quite often with many people who come here. It’s the most beautifully wonderful thing to observe. This place is truly Holy ground and territory.
3. After talking with my friends, I walked over to the surf shop side and three girls from FSU who are here with their sorority sisters (business majors) came in. I greeted them and asked them what their majors were. I asked them if they knew what ‘Ekklisia’ meant and one immediately said ‘Church!’ I said yes you’re partially correct but let me tell you the deeper meaning of when it was first mentioned by Jesus in scripture and what He was saying. They were like sponges and soaked it all in as Holy Spirit spoke through me. One of them began to tear up and I knew Holy Spirit was touching her. I immediately addressed it and said what’s weighing on you. She began to tear up even more and said school and life. I let Holy Spirit give me the words to speak and I said let’s pray for the Lord to lift the weight, break off the burden and give you victory. Her friends were there watching. As I held her hand to pray, the song changed over our sound system and a new song began with the words coming out about ‘breaking off the weight, lifting our burdens and setting us free and about giving us victory! WOW 😮! I said, DO YOU HEAR THAT! DO YOU HEAR THOSE WORDS! That’s God! He’s speaking directly to you through that song! How can that be a Coincidence – it’s GODINCIDENCE! All of us were blown away! The girls all started laughing and rejoicing as we listened to the song. I didn’t need to pray at all. The Lord used the song to sing over her and IMMEDIATELY as she listened, believed what had happened could only be God – she felt instantly free and at peace. God is SO absolutely amazing and good!
I have several more testimonials I’ll share later. This is getting long and I’m tired from pouring out all day. I’m sensing tomorrow is going to be another very busy day for Kingdom Business at the Surf Shop.
Y’all have a wonderful night and be blessed 😇 – I am pooped 🥱Daddy Surf over and out!

Winter 2024

Friday night I went to a special meeting to a small country town just north across the border in Alabama.
Our (Lib and I) spiritual father / mentor and consider our pastor – Kent Mattox at Word Alive International Outreach sent a text asking me if I could attend as representatives of that region (combined counties) met for Rosh Chodesh Shevat and ‘All in Alabama’ – a mission to create Gospel-centered change starting in Alabama and extending to the nations. Since it borders Florida, and we (my wife and I / Mr. Surf’s) our an apostolic outpost, they were going to include Florida and asked me to go so I could represent our state. I got my two brother Warriors in Christ Robin Caton and Mark) to come and we knew it was going to be a special time. We prayed in the spirit almost all the way there – a ninety minute drive away.
Although the venue was small (a small church) and a small group of people from each county, – it was Fire 🔥 🔥🔥! and the meeting was Off Richter Scale Holy Ghost!
Plain and simple – No words can explain. Near the end of the meeting I heard a word from the Lord ‘REVIVAL!’ coming to the little church. Then I felt so overwhelmed by Holy Spirit to go anoint and pray 🙏 over the pastor. I didn’t know how or when to step forward and let the pastor and leaders know what the Holy Spirit revealed, however just then, the guest leader spoke stepped forward and spoke about seeing people coming there from other churches when they got out. It opened the door for me to speak what the Lord showed me, and I immediately went to the front and spoke out what the Lord was revealing to me. I said I had to pray over the pastor ‘Lisa Jenkins’. Lisa Jenkins
I got Robin and we covered her with the Talit, anointed her with oil, and I prayed and prophesied what I was hearing from the Lord. Whoa 😮 – the power of the Lord came down on us and I got HOT 🥵! I began to sweat and the Pastor began to fall to the ground on her face! The Lord had me announce ‘ Get Ready! because the little church would not handle all the people coming. I immediately said ‘Pullbarn!’ Although I wanted to say ‘ Tent!’ Pullbarn is what came out! I said, ‘You’ll need to build a Pullbarn if not two or more!’ When all was said and done I went to the back of the room. I I stood there, a man approached me, tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘You don’t know me but I own a construction company (he’s their sound man and member of the church) but we just built a Pullbarn out in the back!!! I was totally blown away, as well as, the small gathering of people who were there. Don’t you just LOVE ❤️ how God moves!
Get ready people – this is only beginning. Can’t wait to see what Papa God has in store for His sons and daughters.

Winter 2024

Good evening Y’all – hope everyone is having an absolutely amazing Martin Luther King holiday weekend.
We’re CLOSED tomorrow as it is our Sabbath Day. Today was absolutely beautiful and much warmer with plenty sunshine and mild temperatures in low 60s. Just some small waves 🌊 for skimming. Y’all be prepared because forecast shows some very COLD 🥶 weather conditions this week and into the weekend. My wife headed up to our property just north of the beach to prep everything for the hard freeze forecast. We also did the same at the shop and home here on the beach. Pics are from earlier today.
God is really moving mightily and here’s a few more Testimonies from the Surf Shop, as well as, one from the past of a couple who contacted me today giving me an update and sending pictures of their ‘Miracle Baby’ – kinda long but enjoy and be inspired by how good our God is!
#1 A young couple were sitting in the Coffee Shop and Holy Spirit highlighted them to me, but I didn’t hear a word (a Rhema word) so I sat on it and told the Lord if they needed prayer, to send them into the shop and have them walk around. Well now, that’s just what He did. I watched as they walked around and around, went upstairs and then came down and walked towards the front door. I thought they were about to leave, however, they just stopped and stood there. That’s when I knew for certain, they can’t leave. It’s how Holy Spirit works and I know for certain they need prayer for something even if I haven’t heard a word from the Lord. I approached them, I politely introduced myself then straight up told them why they were there – to be prayed for something because the Lord let me know. At first they were taken aback but when I explained everything they knew I was speaking truth. Actually, the young man knew me and had heard about the surf shop. His dad’s picture was on our wall because he bought several surfboards from Mr. Surf’s when he was a kid. To make a long story short, they were newly engaged, and the Lord revealed that He wanted me to pray over them and bless them which I did on the Surfboard Prayer Bench, covering them with the Talit and anointing them with oil. They were definitely touched by Holy Spirit. They don’t go to church often because of school and work. What’s also amazing is I heard Holy Spirit say, ‘children’ when I was praying. I told them what I was hearing from the Lord and then I saw lots of children, a large beautiful family with wonderful Thanksgivings and Christmas’s and so much more in their lives. There eyes got wide and they both had HUGE smiles. They informed me that they were just talking about that together when they were upstairs! It’s what they wanted – God knew their hearts and was confirming it. God is SO absolutely amazing!
#2 A dad came in with his son and his son’s girlfriend. The dad was buying his son a surfboard, and he had a cane. I could see he was definitely in severe pain and had limited mobility. As they were standing at the register, I was drawn to his son and began to minister to him and his girlfriend. She believes Jesus, however, I could tell the son was on the fence. We talked some until I knew to stop. He listened some then lost interest – that was about to change. I then turned to the dad to find out all that was going on with him – LOTS! I won’t go into detail, but I knew I had to pray with him. He had severe pain and limited mobility. He was a strong believer. I also learned he had worked in some places where there was much darkness, so as I prayed for the pain to subside and increase in strength to his body, I commanded anything that was contrary to the Word and or the Kingdom of Light to be bound up and cast out in Jesus Christ Mighty Name and the power of His Blood! Particularly, anything in the past which may have attached to him in the dark places he had worked. I just kept praying and praying while his son and the girlfriend watched, as well as, other customers coming into the shop. It was definitely powerful and nobody could deny the presence of Holy Spirit. We were standing in the middle of the shop. Guess what!? Yep, his pain definitely subsided, he became so much more mobile it was epic! His son saw it, as well as, his girlfriend and everyone in the shop. The man gave me the biggest Bear Hug and even turned around when leaving the shop to hug and thank me again – it was ALL Jesus! He wasn’t completely healed, although I told him to hold on to the word and prayer spoken over him and that I believed he would feel a difference as the days progressed. He believed!
I also know it had a significant impact on his son’s faith.
Now last Testimony:
I received a message from Ryan today –
Hey John it’s Ryan, Kala , and Cole Connor from Nashville Tennessee wanted to check on you sir. I know the storm hit hard there – our thoughts and prayers are with you my friend. Our little miracle ‘Cole’ is getting big
Their pictures are in the post and here’s the the story /
Testimony from a Surf Shop:
Meet Kayla & Ryan & little ‘Coleman Joseph’ they say is their miracle baby.
Last July 2020, Kayla and Ryan were led to the shop by the Lord. I met them and knew the Lord had brought them in. We started talking, and I discovered that they were deeply hurting because they wanted a child and Kayla had two miscarriages. I showed them a book that my friend wrote that might give her peace. I then said I believe that they would have a child and asked if I could pray with them. They said yes, and I took them over to our Prayer Cubby and sat them on the Surfboard Prayer Bench. As I most often do I anointed them with oil and put the Talit around them (Prayer Shawl) and began to pray. Holy Spirit fell on us and they began to weep. As the Lord led me, I began to speak over them and said that they would receive a child before the end of the year. I heard that she would have a baby boy.?Then all of a sudden I heard ‘FEAR!’ I said you’re afraid! You have a spirit of fear over you! I knew it was hindering her from having a child, so in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I commanded it to leave! I rebuked the spirit, it lifted off Kayla, we all felt it – it was powerful and Kayla began weeping. Then right at that exact moment out of all the songs that come on over our music system in the shop the song that came on shouted ‘FEAR doesn’t have a chance when I’m standing in Your Love’ by Bethel! It was SO powerful! And we all rejoiced and thanked Jesus! They returned home and had a procedure to have a child but normally it could be up to a few years before it would work. She got pregnant two months (in September – I said it would be before the end of the year). Here’s their newborn son little ‘Coleman Joseph’ three months old born born late Spring/ early Summer – a perfectly healthy baby boy. God Is Absolutely Good!

Winter 2024

Good early early morning Y’all, pictures are from yesterday evening’s sunset 🌅, and if you look hard enough there’s a dolphin surfacing in one picture. It was so quiet and peaceful – absolutely breathtaking. Looking like we’ll have a bit of warmer weather today. I’ll be heading up to Vernon with Mommy Surf🏄‍♀️ and Robin to do some work on our property. However, before I do so, I’ll head to the beach and do an early morning Beach Report and set up an Altar unto the Lord and continue with Declarations, Decrees and Prayers for Protection over our Waterways as per the assignment put out by Dutch Sheets and our (Mr. Surf’s) apostolic cover WAIO. I’ll be in the shop tomorrow and the weekend. Until then, I’d like to share an awesome Testimony:
Several days ago I received a message from a lady who watches us on Facebook and she requested that we pray 🙏 for her. (See first note below #1)
She was in severe pain, couldn’t sleep well, and could only get around with a walker, and it seemed her condition was getting worse. I told her that I would put her on my prayer list. However, Holy Spirit impressed me to have her send me her number, and I was to call her and put her and her husband on speaker phone and pray over her. She did just that, but again Holy Spirit impressed me to call them from the shop and pray 🙏 because it’s an open straightaway / portal to heaven. So I contacted her to find a time and went to the shop. What happened next – ONLY GOD! As I got her and her husband on the phone, I also got our employee Dorsie Mullen and said that as I prayed scripture over her and what I was hearing from the Lord, Dorsie was there with me and she would be praying in the spirit. I also had the husband get some olive oil and place it on their hands and anoint his wife by placing it on her forehead. As I began to pray, I prayed with AUTHORITY – everyone in the coffee shop next door could hear me. I prayed specific scripture related to how Jesus bore our sins and it’s by His stripes we ARE HEALED! Not going to be healed. I began to command her body to come into alignment and pain to leave and counted back from 10 to one. As I did water 💦 came forth out of my eyes, Dorsie was tearing up and the woman who we were praying for began to weep so LOUD! It was like she was in a deep weeping. Because we were on speaker phone, and I was speaking with authority / forcefully, people were watching us and listening from the coffee shop and heard the lady also. Then her husband yelled – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Mission accomplished – I said it was ALL Jesus and to give Him all the glory. As I looked over to the coffee shop side, I could see the amazement in some people’s eyes and there were a couple that just smiled because they knew what had just happened. Below (note #2) is the message I received yesterday.
Pain almost completely gone – it will be within this week (the Lord let me know), no walker, and sleeping with no problem.
Our God is SO absolutely amazing and good. See y’all shortly at the beach Livestream. Join me and assist me in Prayer 🙏 for our city, state, nation, nations and Israel.
(#1 note) Daddy Surf,
I’d like to request prayer please. My right knee began hurting mid November and I chose to
Ignore it which was a huge mistake because by
limping I’ve caused my lower back and hip to go out and am in severe pain. I cannot get an appointment with my spine specialist until the 30th. Also my husband and and I are being sued by an unscrupulous
restoration company for the third time after two Judges have found in our favor. The stress has been tremendous. Thank you for your faithfulness.
(#2 note – yesterday) I am MUCH better. Slept almost through the night. Pain level is minimal this morning and am able to walk without the walker. Praise God!!! Am still holding on to his promise.

Winter 2024

Good evening everyone. So as I was out in the country up at our property clearing land, my eyes and ears to my heart were open as the Lord revealed things to me in the peaceful wilderness. Lib and I are blessed 😇 to have a place far detached from the hustle and bustle and grind down in PCB and it’s only less than an hour North. It’s God’s country out there and you hear His voice so much clearer.
Today as I was working the property and burning, it’s interesting how the pile of large trees, wood and such needed to be continually fueled to set ablaze at what is the ‘Heart’ of the pile. And, to get the fire to a whole other level, I also hit it with the blower fueling it with air.
It’s an interesting parallel to our walk with the Lord. If we desire to remain ablaze and on fire 🔥 for Jesus Christ, it takes continuous fueling in scripture, prayer, devotion, worship, and fellowship with like-minded believers to keep our heart on FIRE! Just going to church one to three times a week won’t cut it it.
This reminds me of the scripture in Revelation –
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16
Although it was cold outside, I got the fire so hot that I could barely get near it.
I guess I’ll apologize now because most always I’m so Hot 🔥 folks don’t understand me. It’s just how the Lord has wired me. However, I’ve found that it
definitely puts the enemy and all of hell to flight 😎! Good night and God bless. Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️🌊💪⚔️🔥🔥🔥

Testimony from this morning:
The picture you see is when I baptized ‘Mark’ back in Spring 2022 – you can go through our Testimonies from the Surf Shop Blog page and read the testimony – very powerful! Early this morning as I pulled up to the shop to gather with just a few and core group of friends for Communion and an important Prayer Session, there was a man (I didn’t recognize him) sitting at a table outside all bundled up and freezing in the 27dg weather. I stopped my truck, yelled at him to go into the coffee shop and I’d get him a hot cup of coffee. Come to find out it was Mark! I greeted him and as I got him coffee and some food, asked what he’d been up to? He said he’d been back in jail / prison but was out and was back on the streets. He lost the place down the street where he was living. It was destroyed by the tornado – a lot of homeless people / people having a tough time stay there (see picture). Mark began to cry when he talked with me because he felt ashamed. I adamantly told him to not be ashamed, I understood and I loved him and so did God. Mark is saved (pictured his baptism) but still stuck in the desert. Since we were all meeting up for Communion and prayer, it was no coincidence God brought him here today – a GODINCIDENCE for sure. We were able to pray with and over Mark, and he was delivered from somethings that he picked up since I last saw him – let’s just say – it was radical! Mark felt freedom come and Holy Spirit ministerd to him.
I’m so blown away at how my Lord sets each day up in such a way that He keeps taking me higher and higher and deeper and deeper into who He is and how I get to co-labor with Him in my journey alongside Him here on earth until He calls me home or returns. It’s how He desires it to be with each one of us in our own special way (destiny). What’s so cool about this whole situation is, all we did was love Mark like Jesus would do and it made a world of difference to Mark. AND, you’ll never guess what my morning devotional was about? Yep – Love ❤️ The title verse:
‘We love because He first loved us’.
1 John 4:19 – totally God!
Have an absolutely wonderful night and be blessed 😇 – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️
Word for the Day from our spiritual father and pastor:
‘“Jesus said that His Ekklesia would stand amidst the people of the world, leveraging a greater influence of the Kingdom than the enemy could exert through the people he blinds to do his own bidding (See 2 Cor. 4:4) And, when Jesus introduced the Ekklesia, His intention all along was to co-opt an existing secular concept and impregnate it with His Kingdom DNA…so that God’s Kingdom would manifest”. (The Transformation Workbook, p. 106,116)
May each one of our hearts be ignited today in a greater way for the purposes of God and may our minds be renewed in such a way that we consistently walk in the true EMPOWERMENT of Christ, bringing forth God’s Kingdom, on earth as it is in Heaven!
Faithfully, Kent & Beverly Mattox
“Empowered in Christ: Radiating His Presence and Anointing”
Verse: 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 (NIV) “Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.”
Focus: Meditate on the transformative power of being anointed in Christ and being empowered to carry His presence into the world, drawing wisdom from 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.
Reflection/Application:
1. Divine Anointing: As believers, we are anointed by God for a purpose. This divine anointing sets us apart, marking us as vessels for His work in the world. What unique thing has God designed for you to specialize and excel in? Where do you see His anointing flowing the most in your life?
2. Sealed with Ownership: God’s seal of ownership (Holy Spirit) signifies that we belong to Him. Understanding our identity in Christ and aligning our lives with God’s design will bring us into a place of empowerment where we can live with great confidence and assurance regarding our sonship, calling, and anointing in Christ.
3. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit: God’s Spirit within us is a powerful deposit, guaranteeing God’s promises. God’s Spirit upon us guarantees the world will be transformed. His divine presence empowers us to navigate life’s challenges, share God’s love, and be Christ’s ambassadors on Earth.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for anointing us for Christ’s purposes. May we embrace our identity in Him, recognizing the seal of ownership You have placed upon us. Continue to EMPOWER us through Your Spirit to radiate Christ’s love and light in the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Winter 2024

Enjoy the pictures of this evening’s sunset. The surf 🌊 was really coming in strong, so it will definitely be up in the morning but wind 🌬️ will be more onshore.
Thoughts and Word for tonight:
This early morning as I was doing my Quiet Time and Devotion with the Lord, I pressed in deep to try and hear what He is saying for this time and season. I believe we’ll be seeing and experiencing, as well as many others, something significant – exactly what I don’t know but have a hunch. Often when I press in like I did this morning, the Lord usually puts something forth, as He did this morning in my morning reading. I felt impressed to share it – He spoke to me through His Word – scripture:
Micah 4:1-5
The Mountain of the Lord
In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.
Many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.
Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken.
All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
As I read the scripture, verse 1 (In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it) resonated strongly in my spirit. I immediately thought ‘Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord?’ I then looked it up / searched for it in scripture and it led me to Psalm 24:
‘The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.
Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?
The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty – he is the King of glory.’
Whoa 😮 I hadn’t a clue it was Psalm 24 which parallels 2024 – this year!
This is DEEP, so for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, understand what the Lord is revealing here (dig deep and ask Holy Spirit) A very important message and strategy to navigate what’s coming. He answered my prayer!
God is absolutely amazing and So good.

Winter 2024

Today was an absolutely beautiful sunny 🌞 but somewhat chilly with air temperatures in upper 50s. Very small waves 🌊, water somewhat murky in 50s, and single Red Flag 🚩 (pic #1)
The remaining pictures are of our ‘The Mission’ Holy Spirit led us to follow through with to Seal the Perimeter of our city (PCB) to speak Declarations, Decrees, and Prayers of Divine Protection, Deliverance, and Destruction of ALL evil and ANYTHING contrary to the Word and Kingdom of God! We included the Waterways according to the word given by Dutch Sheets .
As a prophetic act, we gathered five smooth stones, salt, I took my staff, Talits, anointing oil, and Shofars, and anointed the tires of my truck with the oil and drove the entire circumference of PCB to each ‘Gate’ – see pics:
South Gate – Pass; East Gate – Hathaway Bridge; North Gate – Back Bay Brige; West Gate – Inlet Beach Bridge and finished at the PCB City Hall. We threw the stones, put salt in, and struck the the water at each gate prophesying the Declarations,Decrees and Prayers and sounding our shofars. All as a prophetic act to honor the Lord.
We had an extra blessing as we ran into my friend and strong fellow Christian brother Todd who owns Wildlife30A a unique and awesome faith based program for kids. Some of the kids knew me and it was incredible to see them so knowledgeable about the Bible. We all gathered for a pic. What an amazing day – it was a five hour adventure but we’ll worth it – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Y’all have a wonderful night and be blessed 😇 – see you at the Surf Shop. – Daddy Surf over and out!

Winter 2024

Attention a Call out to ALL Watchmen and Watch-women:
A Sense of Urgency
By Dutch Sheets Give Him :15 1/30/24
Tomorrow (January 31, 2024) is a very important day, one I believe will be used to heal and save our nation. I would love for you to participate. Before I give the details, let me tell you why it is so important.
The Scriptures teach that “righteousness exalts a nation, and the nation is blessed whose God is the Lord” (Proverbs 14:34, Psalm 33:12). Secularists and humanists would have us believe America can be great without God, that our greatness is due to our own abilities, determination, and natural resources. This is foolish pride and deception. Abraham Lincoln clearly understood this when he wrote his March 1863 Proclamation of Prayer:
“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand that preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.”(1)
These sobering words are as relevant today as they were 150 years ago, perhaps more so. America has again lost her way.
Centuries ago, the prophet Jeremiah lamented the fallen condition of Israel. Like America today, they had turned away from the Lord and been overtaken by immorality, compromise, and idolatry. God raised up the prophet, Jeremiah, to confront them, and in the sixth chapter of the book bearing his name, Jeremiah said:
“Everyone’s after the dishonest dollar, little people and big people alike. Prophets and priests and everyone in between twist words and doctor truth. My people are broken—shattered!—and they put on Band-Aids, Saying, ‘It’s not so bad. You’ll be just fine.’ But things are not ‘just fine’! Do you suppose they are embarrassed over this outrage? No, they have no shame. They don’t even know how to blush.”
(Jeremiah 6:13-15 The Message)
I ask you, could not these words be written of America today? Israel did not heed the words of the prophet and repent. So, God issued another message through Jeremiah: “Go stand at the crossroads and look around. Ask for directions to the old road, the tried-and-true road. Then take it” (Jeremiah 6:16, The Message). The Lord was offering them a recovery. Israel ultimately rejected Jeremiah‘s warnings, however, and went into a prolonged season of great judgment.
Just as Israel in Jeremiah’s day, America has lost her way. Having deviated from “the old road,” we are wandering aimlessly in the wilderness of godless humanism and moral relativism. Many of our national leaders are drunk with power and dizzied with deception. They mock God, reject His ways, promote evil, and want a different America than was envisioned by our Founders. Many are working diligently to transform us into a godless nation.
Far too many spiritual leaders have also lost “the old road.” Like a GPS that cannot connect to a satellite, they are now without heaven’s direction. Sold a package of unbiblical ideals, many run toward misdefined goals and are fueled by untamed egos, making the rapid growth of their churches and the size of their congregations the standard for success. They’ve forgotten Christ’s mission statement: preaching the good news to the poor, releasing captives, opening blind eyes, setting free the oppressed, casting out demons, healing the sick, and discipling nations (Luke 4:18; Mark 16:16-18; Matthew 28:19). They do not preach the Cross or welcome the power of Holy Spirit, preferring instead, the “new” road of entertainment, feel-good messages, and the avoidance of moral and cultural issues.
Where has the new road led us? Our schools have no prayer, Scripture reading, or moral standards. Without the stabilizing anchor of truth, our kids wander aimlessly through the maze of moral relativism. Life has been cheapened, morality is mocked, and violence is rampant. Schools allow perverts to groom our children, our education system is a joke, and most of our media are liars. Illegal drugs kill hundreds of thousands, terrorists and traffickers are allowed into our nation at will, and our President and his Head of Homeland Security oppose stopping this. The leader of the free world can’t string two sentences together, and many of our leaders are liars and fools.
Our journey down the path of unbiblical, amoral, and antichrist philosophies has produced these shocking but predictable results. When the slow death began, we had no answers. We had lost our mooring, our moral compass, and our foundation had crumbled. Consequently, we began sinking fast and are now stuck in the mire of a foundationless culture and the quicksand of humanistic, “no absolutes” thinking. Having abandoned the old road, we lost our way and are “flatlining” fast. Please believe me when I say that apart from God‘s supernatural intervention, there is no way out.
How do we find our way back to the old road? It begins with humility and repentance, which brings me to the reason for this post. Wednesday (tomorrow) is A Day of National Repentance, planned and coordinated by Jim Garlow, Founder and CEO of Well Versed, and Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. Last year’s event was the first year of this Day of Repentance and was blessed by the Lord’s presence and favor.
The purpose of the day is carefully guarded: there are no speakers or messages, no introductions or applause, and each prayer of repentance is limited to less than a minute. Last year‘s gathering was attended by many leaders, including a couple of dozen members of Congress. Tony Perkins said of last year‘s day of repentance: “It was one of the most powerful events in DC I’ve been involved in, in 20 years.”
Jim Garlow said, “God showed up.” What more could be said to gauge the success of any gathering? Speaking of those who want to participate, either in person or by Livestream, Garlow said, “Those who have a sense of urgency given to them by the Spirit of God…those who realize exactly where we are as a nation – how far we have fallen, how close we are to going over the cliff to our destruction – these are the people who will be interested in this time of repentance.”
I will be there offering my short but heartfelt prayer of repentance for our nation. Though no seats are left, I encourage you to join us online. To do so, text the word “prayer” to 67742 or go to ,PrayDC.org. The activities will begin tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7:30 AM Eastern Time and finish around 1:30PM.
Pray with me:
Father, America has lost her way. We left the “old road” of truth, and chose a new path for our journey as a nation. We are now so hopelessly lost that there is no way back without Your help. We repent for the pride and fleshly desires that motivated this wrong turn. As President Lincoln said, “We have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we [became] too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.”(2)
Forgive and heal us, we pray. Whatever is required to awaken this nation, please do it. Then send a sweeping revival, an unprecedented outpouring of Your Spirit, one that overwhelms darkness, opens blind eyes by the millions, and turns our nation back to You. You have offered to do this, but we know Your promises are conditional. So we now offer the biblical response required of us: we repent, ask for cleansing, and appeal for the awakening, doing so in the Almighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Our decree:
We decree that the mercies of the Lord are new EVERY morning and that they NEVER come to an end. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Testimony from the Surf Shop:
Today as I was at the shop, I somewhat recognized a lady with a friend. They were in fellowship and talking about the Lord. They overheard my Livestream as I was praying and speaking about the Lord also as I was doing a Livestream on Instagram. Then the lady said, ‘I know you! You’re the one who prayed for my brother two years ago across the street at Rick Seltzer Park on the beach!’ (See picture – taken two years ago) I haven’t seen her or her brother since. She said her brother lives in Kansas City and that he never forgot that encounter. It totally changed his life.
I remember praying for him and his foot. He could barely walk because of a car accident. I recorded the Divine Encounter on our Blog page on our website.
She said her brother’s foot is still completely healed, and although he still has a rough life at times, Jesus Christ is in his life. I am so overwhelmed and amazed by My King Jesus and SO grateful He sends me confirmations like this one to keep me going. As many of you well know, the road is tough at times, however we must stand and fight to the end!
Here’s the story I wrote in Spring 2002:
Get ready people! The Tsunami 🌊 that’s about to slam the coastline and push in across America will usher in a new thing.
Many will not ride the Wave that the Lord brings in. The Seeker Friendly and Religious ways will no longer work.
The bricks will come down and either erupt into a brand new light of God’s glory exploding with signs, miracles, and wonders or have a form of godliness lacking the power there of.
Even the people will look different. The unexpected will be fiery followers of King Jesus. Going where no one has gone before. Pioneering a new thing and new way for God’s Kingdom here now and the one to come. It will be the least who become the greatest and the greatest who will become the least.
This is Gilbert and his sister Elisha. The Lord sent them my way as Robin and I were praying, anointing and blowing our shofars at Rick Seltzer Park and the beach. Gilbert could barely walk because his foot had been crushed and he was in severe pain. I immediately knew he was a Divine Appointment, and the Holy Spirit led me to him. I not only prayed for his foot, but also prayed into his spirit to ease the pain and suffering that was weighing him down. While I was praying, his sister came up behind me and put her hand on my shoulder. Gilbert cried like a baby as Holy Spirit wrecked us all. People were walking by and watching in amazement as we prayed. Gilbert was healed both physically and emotionally and his spirit was lifted to a new high. We all rejoiced!

Winter 2024

Testimony: As I was getting ready to head out to Vernon this morning, I met this couple (Scott & Jenna) here on vacation from Canada. They have a Kingdom business (Special Event Party Rentals) They pray over and anoint all their rentals, particularly the tents – so awesome!
As we were talking, Jenna, told me the Lord sent them here to the Surf Shop. She needed prayer and inquired the Lord on what church they needed to go to. She said our Facebook page came up, and kept coming up. She told the Lord, ‘That’s a Surf Shop not a church.’ She said He responded it’s the church in PCB you need to go to, so they ended up here. We talked and I was the one to pray for her. Confirmation: I wasn’t supposed to be there, I just stopped in for a minute – the Lord knew! We sat at the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed our shoes, I covered them with my Talit and anointed them with oil. Holy Spirit did what He had to – it was powerful 🔥. I’ll be seeing them again. They are here for a few more weeks. Y’all have a wonderful night and be blessed 😇 Please keep us in your prayers 🙏 – ALWAYS needed and SO much appreciated. We love ❤️ y’all – Daddy Surf 🏄‍♂️ over and out!

Winter 2024

Waves 🌊 of Thunder ⚡️& Glory 🔥 poured down and filled the Surf Shop this morning as my wife and I met with a group of women (mostly all Kingdom Business owners) to fellowship and pray. However, it all began when a mother brought in her young daughter to be prayed over. She told me that the Lord told her to go to the Surf Shop and have us pray 🙏 over her. She was baptized in the Holy Spirit! As I was finishing up praying with the mother and daughter, the group of ladies came in and God moved mightily! You had to be there to really know what it was like. Healings and prophetic words. Plus, it was no coincidence – a GODINCIDENCE that a very dear and powerful sister warrior in Christ came in just at the right time to assist us in praying. I know it was God because I haven’t seen her in quite awhile – I believe more than a year ago! Mommy Surf 🏄‍♀️ connected with some new friends who also are surfers 🏄🏄‍♀️ We all plan to get together regularly. God is making Kingdom connections!

Winter 2024

I stopped in the shop on the way back and the Lord had several Divine Appointments waiting for me. The pictures are of Joshua, Nikki and their two daughters Kylie and Maddie. They came to the shop a year ago ( pics are before and after) and I prayed for them and Joshua’s hip at that time. They had to come back and brought their adopted / spiritual parents (Dwight and Lynnae) who I prayed with and blessed 😇
I had them sit at our Surfboard Prayer Bench (Alter) we removed our shoes, covered them with the Talit and anointed them with oil. The power of the Lord came upon us. IT WAS AWESOME! Then I prayed over, blessed and did an impartation on the daughters who are in public High School. I believe Maddie has started a Student Bible Study group. Holy Spirit moved so mightily. You had to be there to really experience what happened.
There’s a move of God that cannot be stopped! He is raising up sons and daughters who will walk in power and authority – a new generation of soldiers who will take back what the locust has devoured. JOIN THE RANKS AND BE READY! Glory Hallelujah- all praise and honor to our Lord and Savior King Jesus.
‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.’
Acts 2:17

Winter 2024

The pic of this couple is ‘Peter and Tiffany’ visiting Visit Panama City Beach VISIT FLORIDA for vacation. They used to live here but now live in Wisconsin. Holy Spirit brought them directly to me for a powerful Divine Appointment. I was actually involved with another Divine Appointment and praying for another lady at the Surfboard Prayer Bench when they came in. It’s NONSTOP the moment we open for business and I come in, so much so, that we’ve hired enough staff this season so my wife and I can specifically be in the shop for the folks the Lord is bringing in. People are coming in for Healing physically, emotionally and spiritually and many being baptized in the Holy Spirit 🌊 and fire 🔥 (Mat. 3:11 & Luke 3:16) What’s crazy is many attend churches like ‘Peter and Tiffany’.
I spent some time teaching / discipling them and going through scripture. I taught them about the prophetic and Kingdom authority. They were totally blown away. I knew Holy Spirit brought them in because as I approached Tiffany and told her so and asked what I could pray for her for, she said she had been in several times and saw me praying with people and just before she came in asked God if I would be able to pray with her – BOOM! – I supernaturally led by Holy Spirit came over to her naturally and asked her if she desired pray – totally a GODINCIDENCE.
I took both of them to the prayer bench, we removed our shoes, I covered them with my Talit, anointed them with oil and began to pray 🙏. The power of God came upon us and they both wept. Tiffany said now I know why you have these boxes of tissues here. The Lord gave me a word for them both, particularly, Peter, and they said that someone else had said the same thing. They desire to open a Kingdom business, which I absolutely believe will happen. I have their email and will keep in touch. This is the EKKLESIA in action and how we as sons and daughters of God should all be living. It’s expanding and I believe expanding rapidly. Don’t miss what God is doing in this hour and season. It’s just going to get better. The enemy is TICKED OFF but he has been defeated. It is Finished! Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah – glory to our King, Lord and Savior Yeshua Hamashiach.

Winter 2024

The Glory of the Lord filled the shop most all morning as people just kept coming in from all areas and phases of life. Most of the time, I just sat back smiling and watching Holy Spirit minister to people, some not even knowing who, why or what they were encountering. At times it was so obvious there was no possible way you could deny it. I myself ministered and prayed with several folks including this young lady who the Lord brought to the shop – here’s why I know and her story:
Felicia is in the military and in a position to have an impact on many lives. She actually is the first woman assigned to where they have stationed her. She was in the coffee shop and asked if I could pray 🙏 with her. I said, ‘Certainly! That’s why we are here.’ She eventually told me she felt led to come here, and almost didn’t come but felt so impelled to come.
I explained that’s what’s called an ‘unction’ (the Spirit of the Lord moving us and leading us). I explained there’s no such thing as coincidence – all things are Godincidences- because He is Sovereign.
She definitely was brought here by the Lord. As I normally do, we went to the Surfboard Prayer Bench, removed our shoes, I covered her with the Talit and anointed her with oil. We talked, I ministered and discipled her because she doesn’t go to church and went over the deeper things in scripture about the baptisms and why and what each one were as a whole, Kingdom authority, the prophetic and so forth – in all, I spent over an hour+ with her. We prayed, the power of God came upon us and He gave me the words to speak over her – WOW! What an assignment the Lord has for this young lady! I gave her my wife’s number so we can keep in touch and she will be coming back. This is just one of a few Divine Encounters that happened today and continue to happen every day we are open for business. This is Marketplace Ministry / Kingdom Business – the Ekklesia in action.

Spring Break 2024

Update on a Testimony I posted a couple weeks ago: Replay of the Testimony – From my right to left – Pastor Jeremy, Jason and Jason’s brother MJ.
Directly after I had a Divine Appointment, not mentioned, Pastor Jeremy came right up to me and said, ‘We are a ‘Divine Appointment! We just drove over six hours / 664 miles to come here to the Surf Shop.’ He then told me he had just preached Sunday about us here at Mr. Surf’s and all and what the Lord is doing. The Pastor specifically brought ‘Jason’ because he has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. The pastor also told me Jason’s children have a powerful call on their lives and that’s why he believed Jason was being attacked by the enemy. However, Jason would not let anyone pray for him but when he listened to Pastor’s sermon on Sunday, he said, ‘Take me to the Surf Shop!’ They didn’t come yesterday because we’re closed on Mondays. What happened next can only be GOD – period! I took them all to the Surfboard Prayer Bench where I had Jason remove his shoes, covered him with my Talit and anointed him with oil. I had a strong sense something radical was about to happen, and I gave Pastor Jeremy a bag just in case the cancer would come out (it did!) I got Robin to assist me in praying and told pastor and Jason’s brother to come into agreement. I shared some scriptures with Jason so he understood what the Word- absolute Truth – says. I then commanded the cancer to leave his body to get out in the Mighty Name of Yeshua. As I did, people began to come into the shop and coffee shop was full. The temperature around us went up, Jason began to sweat profusely, (I had to wash my Talit that night) bent over, almost came off the bench and began wailing and screaming REAL LOUD. Then he began coughing as Holy Spirit did his work and began to heal him. Everyone in the shop saw it and heard it – there was absolutely no doubt Jesus was there healing Jason.
Then this – I thought it was over, but Jason looked completely worn out, and my head was throbbing – it rarely happens – usually when I’m dealing with dark forces / heavy warfare. Jason was white as a sheet and looked kinda strange. I knew something wasn’t right, so I asked him how he was doing, and he said as he was crying really hard, ‘I’m in so much pain’ so much so he could barely move. I told him and the Pastor we’re not finished. I spoke very slowly and directly to Jason about what I was going to do and what I wanted him to do. Keep in mind now – Holy Spirit is in absolute control of everything so I’m just going by His instructions not mine – this isn’t about me at all. It’s all about Jesus Christ. I told Jason that I was going to count back from ten to zero and I wanted him to close his eyes. And, that Each time he heard me count, I wanted him to watch the light pulsate at each number and as I counted down the pain would subside and dissipate as I got to zero. What happened next – AGAIN – can only be God. I began counting down from ten to one and each time, I said “pain leave now in Jesus Mighty Name!” As I did a song came on over our sound system we never heard before, even the pastor. It was a prophetic song and the words said, ‘I’m relieving the pressure’ ‘I’m relieving the pressure’ over and over. It was the Spirit of the Lord speaking the words over Jason and by the time I got to zero, Jason’s pain was completely gone! The words in the song stopped at the same time! Everyone there heard it and saw it and we were all totally blown away! – wow just WOW!
Now the text I received from Jason last week: Hey there John. . . I am the gentleman with Stage IV Pancreatic cancer from Huntsville, AL that you prayed over one week ago today in your shop. Since then I have had a PET scan and have received the results from my oncologist. The only word that can be described is ‘miraculous’. Six months ago a previous PET scan indicated cancerous activity and growth in my shoulders, hip, lungs, liver and pancreas. Cancerous activity is indicated on PET scans by various colors lighting up on the screen where normal activity will show just various scales of grey. The PET scan that I just received showed no colors, only grey through out my entire body. The only thing that is still left and visible on the PET scan is a lesion on my liver and a tumor on my pancreas. The way the nurse describe this to me is that the cancer is dormant, dying, asleep and that all that is left behind right now is the wreckage of dead/dying cells. The doctors, of course, will not say I am cancer free or in remission but we don’t need them to. We know what has happened, what is happening and what is to come. My fight is not over and I am still in significant pain. Now that the cancer is being held at bay, it is time to go after the source of the pain and I am in prayer that God is illuminating the path into how that will be accomplished. Irregardless of the pain, I am grateful and I am healed. I am no longer looking over my shoulder and counting the days and weeks. . . I am now preparing for the future in years! My family and I will be in Panama City Beach the week of May 6th and we will be visiting your store to say hello and to give you a big hug. During that time I would be happy to share my testimony or be of service anyway I can. Please also feel free to share my message with your Facebook and other social media followers. Obedience is a powerful thing in the kingdom of God. The intersection of my obedience and your obedience ended up in an amazing testimony that still has more miracles in store. Thanks brother and God bless.
