Encounters fromThe CommunionFire at Surfside Pier

When Jesus gives us His peace, then we are able to see what He wants to show us more clearly

October 12th Sunday Morning at Surfside Pier Gathering

Ronnie: In the Blessed Bread, the Body of our Lord, I looked up and saw confusion, like a spirit attacking then in the Blessed Wine of Jesus Precious Blood I saw sort of cartoonish a big cloud blowing wind (as if the Lord was blowing away the confusion)

Camille: While eating thee Bread of Heaven my eyes were opened to see light and to recognize it was the Holy Spirit. He was looking through me for those who would recognize Jesus. Then in the drinking of the precious Blood the whole earth shook (as if it was the whole planet moving) "Perhaps", she said, : "It was the power of the blood that brought the earthquake when Jesus was on the Cross!"

Mary: Eating the Lamb of God i heard the Heavenly Host of Angels singing and the Lord said, "You haven't heard anything yet!" Then I heard Sal with the Angels saying, "Now I can sing!" (Sal was not known for his voice : ) While drinking the Wine of Blessing I saw a little angel sitting on a cloud playing a harp!"  

Joe: While eating the Body of Christ I was filled with "super peace" and then while drinking the Wine of Jesus' Blood I saw red blood drops on some material and then as it drew back I saw the Shroud of Turin. (As if when we have the peace of the Lord we see things, His treasures, we might not otherwise see or overlook because we are distracted!)

Bob: While eating the Bread of Life I heard "The Lord God is a sun and shield. He gives grace and glory!" Then While drinking the Blood of the Lamb I heard the whisper of the Holy Spirit, "Blessed is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!"

"See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven." 

This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire."  (Hebrews12:25-29 RSV)
