If the resurrection of Jesus Christ is removed out of the bible it might as well be thrown into a trash can as it will just become another book. same as the Word of God is to be written on our hearts if no resurrection of Jesus Christ in our hearts our names will not be written in the Lamb’s book of life. HE is RISEN indeed – Be Blessed Johan Marais
Yesterday after a long strong windy icy walk in Vredenburg with the cross coming back as i looked up i saw this huge truck with the words ” The joy of the LORD is our strength” It blessed me so much and it gave me new strength as it was not a easy days walking and battling against the freezing wind with the cross.
Instantly i said to myself i need to take a picture of this truck and share with the world. As i was on the opposite side of the road with traffic on the double highway passing through Vredenburg i dashed across and put the cross against a palm tree.
I got my phone out and just could not find the camera app to take a picture. As i was battling to get the camera app i hear the truck starts. i shouted as loud as i could ” STOP WAIT DON’T GO” but in the wind in the distance it was all in vain truck driver did not hear me. i managed to get the camera ready and as i stepped back to take a picture a car came in that lane and had to jump back on the pavement. I saw another big truck in the distance and quickly coming but jumped in the road again and managed to take these 2 pictures in perfect timing. The Lords time is always on time. Thank you Jesus
i see the company that the truck belongs to is RB Schroeder & Sons. Bless you guys as when you drive that this message will be well received wherever you on the roads of South Africa.
Gods riches blessings on your business and protecting and safe journey with you as you go. Johan & Winnie John316 Ministries
(Why do i walk with the cross 7 times around the NG Church some ask? I don’t know and is only doing it in obedience to God telling me to do it. After i walked around the NG church in Langebaan when we got to Vredenburg and stopped outside the NG church to meet sombody the Holy Spirit told me that as of now every town we visit in Western Cape i must walk around the NG church as He showed me how to do it in Langebaan. To date we have only 5 ng churches to walk in the Western Cape in Stellenbosch )
Yesterday 23rd Dec 2015 walking in Langebaan Holy Spirit led me to walk up Oostewaal Road towards the end of town. On the way the Holy Spirit told me to walk to the Langebaan NG church to pray there. When I got closer the Lord told me to pick up 7 stones but told me to wait until I get to the church as He will show me where to find them.
When i got to the NG church there was a lot of people there with some church activities. I put the cross down and asked the Lord where I must pick up the stones as i could only see a lot of gravel lying around. He told me I need to walk down to the beach where I will find them as the stones have to be natural and not man made. I walked to the beach about 200m from the church. When I got to the beach I picked up 3 big stones as I could not find any around but Lord said not those He will show me. I continued to walk and all of a sudden which wasn’t there before a wave moved back and there was a lot of small stones. The Lord told me to pick up 7 stones. I picked up 7 stones and walked back to the church.
I also noticed that there is a Methodist church is next to the NG church in the same grounds. The Lord told me that the 7 stones I need to use as an indicator as He want me to walk around the church 7 times and pray in tongues only as I walk. The Lord said I have to start by the tower with the cross that is on top. Every time I pass I must throw one of the stones down at the foot of that tower until I have walk around 7 times.
I walk and interceded praying only in the spirit as the Lord gave me utterance and not one word of understanding. Every time I passed people just looked at me as if i was not there and nobody approached me to find out what I am doing bearing in mind I was carrying a 4 meter cross.
As I finished the 6th time around the church the Lord said I must walk the 7th time praising and worshiping him aloud. i sand the song How great is our God loudly even walking past people and it was as if nobody saw me. I completed the walk, sat down prayed and rest a few minutes, left the NG church grounds and continued to walk down the road back to the beach.
Thank you Lord for great things that You are going and is doing in Langebaan with all the people the unbelievers and believers from all churches
(The next day walking on the Oostevaal road a lady stop very excited to meet me. She said she was from the Methodist church next to the NG. i shared with her what the Lord said i must do. She said they have been praying for a long time trusting the Lord for there own church building)
NG Church Langebaan Lord led me to pray
Lord told me to go to beach to find 7 stones
Lord told me to throw a small stone at the foot of the tower that holds the cross every time i pass for 7 times
As i completed the 6th time Lord told me to as i walk the 7th time to loudly praise and worship Him

The Call
Our brother Rick Ridings of Succat Hallel (24/7 House of Prayer overlooking the Temple Mt.) had a prophetic Vision of a wave across Africa shaking witchcraft and idolatry and bringing increased harvest on the 10th November 2015
Based on this vision and other revelations, a group of leaders and intercessors will perform a prophetic act in Cape Town at Cape Point on the 11th of December 2015 from 12h00 to 14h00 South African time zone (UTC+02:00) led by Baruch Maayan, a South African Born Messianic leader now based in Israel.
After much prayer, revelation and understanding, we are also calling Leaders and Intercessors from EVERY NATION on the Continent of Africa to UNITE with us during this time to praise, worship and pray and to stand in the gap for your Nation (in your Country) at this pivotal moment. Please also read Isaiah 19. We will also be joined by Intercessors from Israel, Jerusalem.
i was led to walk with the cross from beginning Seapoint to Camps starting @ Three Anchor Bay along Main road to Camps Bay coming back again via Beach Road which is about a 16km walk. The day was lovely but very hot. It was a blessing a i walk to pray for the people of Seapoint as i walk. a few stopped and spoke to me but many seeds was sown as i walked. Coming into Bantry bay the Holy Spirit led me to walk down Saunders lane which was off the main route i planned. Not sure why i had to walk down there but as it is my lovely wife Winnie’s maiden name i interceded for her family as i walked do the lane. i rather be obedient to sacrifice as God knows what and where i need to go.
Back on the main road i stopped to speak to some construction workers. The one man Emmanuel wanted to hold the cross and i could see that God was touching him in a very special way while holding the cross. The road between Bantry bay is fairly narrow and people could not stop easily but as the cross is seen many seed are sown as i walk. At one time a car passed me to close and his mirror got my arm but Praise God it was no damaged. i do feel he did it intentionally as at that place there was enough space for him to pass. Never the less that gave me a opportunity as he continued to drive to pray for him and his family. A lot of bicycles ride on that road in the same space as where i walk and me with the cross is not much difference as i keep to the left all the time close to the side of the road.
As i approached Camps-bay i took some time to sit down and rest and pray at the same time admiring the view from Maidens cove. Close by they were making a movie and as i left one of the medics that work there asked me about the cross. i sat down with him for a while sharing the Gospel with him and he told me it is a advert they making for a company oversees for yogurt. He blessed me with cold water and some fruit as i left him.
i walked to Camps bay, had a rest and started walking back. i was fairly tired by then as the heat was getting to me but just asked Jesus to lift me up and continued to walk. Passing Clifton beach a elderly couple stopped and asked for a photo of me and the cross. We stated talking and they from Switzerland on holiday and flying back on Friday. They said in South Africa we need more Christians to go out and share the gospel like i do as the state of the country is not good. They also said that in Switzerland on the other hand people don’t need there as they have everything as money is in abundance there. They were both Christian and the love of Jesus was very evident in them as they talked. We walked together for a while and before we parted i prayed for them and Switzerland. They also prayed in Swiss which i could not understand but it was a blessing to part with them that way. i shared with them that if it is God’s will next year Winnie and i want to go walk with the cross in Europe for a few months soon
Got back to the car just after 18h00 very tired, with back hurting as it was not a easy walk but rejoicing as Jesus touched so many that day. Even as i was loading the cross into the car a 80 year old lady came passed and she being a catholic experience the love of God with the cross as i spoke to her
Thank you Jesus for keeping me and giving me the strength to walk with the cross. i thank you Lord Jesus that all the people i prayed for and spoke to will walk with you and that all the seeds sown during this time will produced much fruit. Amen
