7 – 8 May 2019

Johan and Fransi Van Wyk as our Ariel Gate elders and as pastors for Perez Ministries, Bothaville, welcomed Apostle Timothy Carscadden to visit their ministry, during his recent trip to South Africa, after our extremely successful 2019 convention – The Eye Of The Needle.

During his time with them, they arranged for him to have two meetings, and here is some of the feedback we received:

Belinda Coetzee Said:
“After Johan Van Wyk did such an awesome job with singing at the Ariel Gate Convention, Apostle Timothy encouraged him to sing again, thereafter he explained that the Free State’s redemptive gift is to “encourage”. (It is the opposite of the spirit of fear). The Lord broke the spirit of fear over us.
During a previous visit to Bothaville, Apostle Timothy saw the country of South Africa was at a crossroads, he continued by explaining that now he sees the country is in a moment of shift. (He gave America as an example. Isaiah 45. Abortion addressed.)
He said that the Free State is the heartbeat of the nation, and it needs to speak hope and courage. It’s not a time to run or to shutdown. He said that we should stand with what the Lord stands for. If we know what God is saying, then we can do it!  He explained that the people’s thoughts are: Who are we? but God is saying: You can do it!  Isaiah 51
If God gave you a promise, in the spirit it’s done. He said that South Africa is a voice for the continent. We are a very diverse people and God loves it. God created South Africa. The country belongs to the Lord and He can deal with the people’s hearts.
He further continued by proclaiming that it is an Esther moment in time, and we should not think about ourself, but think about the nation and PRAY. Do not let fear take a hold on you. Don’t be silent. Speak when you must. Take action.
God wants a people that will go for Him. (The example of Gideon was given)”

“Pastor Timothy se preek oor Psalm 139 was vir my persoonlik ‘n woord van bemoediging. Hy het gepraat oor elkeen se ‘script’ en of ons steeds besig is om God se boek oor ons te leef, of het ons die boek gebêre, weggegooi of verwerp en besluit om ons eie boek te skryf. Dit sluit aan met wat Tannie Fransi gepreek het oor die ‘passover’ en dat elkeen moet gaan seker maak of hul op die regte plek is, wat moet agtergelaat word en waarheen wil God elkeen vat, wat moet uitgesorteer word en wat moet bly.
Pastor Timothy het gesê ons moet ophou om oor onsself te spreek wat ons nie is nie en begin spreek wat God ons gemaak het om te wees. Net omdat jy sukses behaal in die plek waar jy is beteken nie noodwendig dat jy op die regte plek is nie, en dat jy jou boek leef nie. Alhoewel dit my laat wonder het of ek tans op die regte plek is, het sy profetiese woord oor my aangesluit by die passie in my hart en my opnuut opgewonde gemaak.
Jesus het direk met my gepraat deur pastor Timothy. Ek eer God vir pastor Timothy en ek eer hom vir sy gehoorsaamheid!”
