Revival Open Air Mission USA/Miami Bible Believers - Report for 11/11/06:
(Just a reminder; JK is bullhornbob, and his wife is Evangelista)
Joining the team this week were Emmanuel, Doug, Tony (who we met at Fantasy Fest), JK and myself (Evangelista). We headed to South Beach and arrived at approximately 4:00 PM. We had arranged to meet Tony on the beach, and contacted him as soon as we arrived. This is very encouraging for us, as we regularly pray for more laborers. Tony’s attendance was an answer to our prayers, as he was greatly affected by our preaching down at the Key West sodomite parade.
We set up our banners at our regular destination and Doug began to preach. He preached a basic gospel message from his heart, as usual. He admonished the crowd to put their complete faith in Jesus Christ and live a life that is holy before Him. Doug always pours himself out as he preaches.
We then moved down on Ocean Drive across from Wet Willie’s, and Tony asked if he could say something to the crowd. He then began to scream and say that that is how hell is going to be. There will be people screaming and wailing in hell. He seemed relieved afterwards, as if he had to just get that out of his system.
Emmanuel then preached on the severity of sin, judgment, the sin of gangster rap and the effects of it, and repentance. He had some hecklers across the street on their motorcycles. They heckled Emmanuel mostly throughout his preach, until they were told to leave by an officer as they were trying to drown out the preaching by revving their engines.
We then headed to Versace where I began to preach. I had some attentive listeners. I began to exhort the crowd to repent and put faith in Jesus Christ and live a life that is pleasing in His sight. I preached on obedience to God and His Word. The judgment of God and hellfire were also described to those who listened. I had a few people who made comments as they went by, and I quickly refuted their comments.
JK then preached a message, or should I say a warning, for South Beach to WAKE UP! He had a good size crowd off and on that listened across the street. He refuted all of their arguments, as some would make certain comments and he exhorted them to repent of sin.
Emmanuel later asked me whether JK and I have been fasting more, as he noticed that the messages have been more anointed over the past few weeks. We all seem to agree that the level of the anointing during the preaching seems to be increasing week to week.
As we moved to leave the beach, there was a young man who must have heard us preach earlier and began to mock us. After we stopped and answered him, JK explained holy, biblical living and repentance and faith toward Jesus Christ to him. The young man, who was Jewish, began to listen attentively. He seemed very receptive. His friend showed up, listened to JK, but didn’t seem as attentive as his friend. We were then approached by an old lady who began to mock at us and then took off as she was being challenged by the Bible.
As we continued speaking with the young men, we were approached by a young, black couple who listened to JK’s exhortation to the young men and agreed with everything JK was explaining to them, as they claimed to be Christians. The lady had an alcoholic beverage in her hand and after JK made a comment regarding the drink in her hand, she put down her beverage and mentioned that she knew she was wrong in drinking, and also confessed of fornicating with her boyfriend. JK exhorted them to repent of all sin, and begin to consider the repercussions of their actions; both the good and the bad. They asked what church we attended as they were looking to start afresh with the Lord. They mentioned that they had recently relocated here, and wanted to fellowship. We gave them our contact information, and departed to our car.
As we left the beach at approximately 6:30 PM, we were planning on heading to Bayside to preach the annual BANG Festival. However, we decided not to attend due to an unforeseen circumstance. We said our goodbyes to Tony, and thanked him for driving all the way up from Key West to preach with us.
