An amazing day

We visited numerous sights in the Galilee area. This was one of the most powerful days of our trip. Our first stop was the Annunciation church in Nazareth built to commemorate the angels announcement to Mary that she was going to give birth to a son our Savior, Jesus Christ. After boarding the bus we proceeded to the mount of the Beatitudes. Again there was a beautiful church built and gardens to commemorate the sermon on the mount and the beatitudes. We sat in the grove and read from Matthew 5 and prayed. We visited the church of multiplication in the area where Jesus fed the 5,000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 small fish. We found a quiet spot and read that great miracle. It was time for lunch at St Peter’s restaurant by the

Sea of Galilee. Our deep fried fish came to us head and all. It was very good tasting but there wasn’t much fish on them bon es.

It was time for perhaps the best part of the day. We boarded a boat, our group alone on the boat and headed across the Sea of Galilee. What a powerful time it was as we sang, read Scriptures and prayed. Let me just say the Spirit fell on that boat and our guide said that he had never seen such a powerful Spiritual experience in any of the groups he had ever taken. Before we left the sea we took our shoes off and walked in the sea for a bit. No none of us walked on the water. Our Lord spent much time in and around the sea.

Our last stop of the day wasn’t any less blessed. We visited the Jordan river stepping in the water that our Lord was baptized in by John The Baptist. We watched many being baptized. It was a great time to reflect.

The Holy Spirit certainly descended on us today. What a great blessing it is to walk in the power and blessing of the Spirit. Walk in the Spirit today and allow him to calm the storms that you may be facing in life today.
