Father God, we exalt Your holy name and the mighty name of Jesus--there is no other name by which we are saved! Thank You for Baptize California!
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Have you heard about the growing number of baptisms in California? IFA Iowa State Leader Tom McGovern shares this eyewitness report. We also want you to know that thousands gathered at the Eiffel Tower to worship Jesus. The Spirit is moving!

Every Friday night from Resurrection Sunday to Pentecost (March 31, 2024-May 18, 2024), churches in the Bay Area have hosted all-night prayer. Numerous churches came together in a spirit of unity, crying out for their cities, California, and the nation.

We attended the last Friday night service but didn’t arrive until daylight. The younger ones were going strong even though they had been praying all night!

We met in Crissie Park under the Golden Gate Bridge on Pentecost Sunday. More than 12,000 people were baptized as part of Baptize California.

Twelve Bay Area pastors (one of whom was my son) were in the water, baptizing as we prayed for those running out to the beach. I am smiling now, just thinking about the joy on their faces, knowing they are forgiven.

One pastor has been praying for his brother for years. The brother was recently released from prison, so it was significant to see Alcatraz prison in the background as his pastor brother baptized him.

An 80-year-old woman and her son were baptized.

The infamous Alcatraz Prison in the background. Prisoners set free on the beach!

 

A father, mother, and their three teenage children emerged from the cold Pacific water, new creatures free from their past.

Entire family baptized! Beautiful!

Baptize California this year will be followed by Baptize America next year. Will you join us in praying into what God is doing?

God is activating the Church to baptize and make disciples!

IA Leader Tom McGovern with son, Pastor Mark, and grandson Jack: “mighty men of God.”

In these Matthew 24 times the task seems insurmountable. However, there’s a counterflow beginning:
https://www.baptistpress.com/resource-library/news/sbc-digest-georgia-baptisms-increase-by-30-sebts-exploring-personhood-conference/
Baptists are bean counters – attendance, offerings, and Baptisms. I think genuine Baptisms are a valid indicator of a healthy church.
We discovered a really strong Bible-based church during the COVID when we listened to Chad Harvey on Truth Radio https://crossassembly.org/ We joined this church and have watched it grow at a phenomenal rate. Our number of Baptisms is incredible, and the ministries that genuinely “feed the flock” are outstanding.
Most importantly, Chad Harvey’s teaching the “unvarnished truth” of the scriptures has helped thousands to “keep their powder dry.”

Re: Water baptism. See Romans 6:3.. don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were therefore buried with him though baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Also see I Peter 3:21

Being baptized doesn’t save you but giving your heart to God first then being baptized in water is showing to the world you are a new creature in Christ. I haven’t seen this expressed. I am native Californian, gave my heart to Christ at 10 years of age and filled with the Holy Spirit at the same time. I am praying and seeing this revival happening right now. But please explain water baptism doesn’t save you but your excepting Jesus as your Lord & Savior does, then water baptism as a sign of your confession. Love what God is doing!

Many people have called the Pacific Coast as the Left Coast. However, Baptize California has had the audacity to come against this by daring to preach Christ to the masses in CA – with GREAT success because the hand of the Lord is with them.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for these baptisms in California. Thank You for the salvation of these souls. Please make a way for these new Christians to receive strong and vibrant mentoring in the faith. Mat Baptize California gain traction, and may the number of Baptisms increase exponentially. Thank you, Jesus.

As I read in Acts this morning, I noted “day by day, the Lord added to the number of those who were being saved” and “the people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem bringing the sick and afflicted with unclean spirits and they were ALL healed.” I wondered, “Lord, why don’t You do this now?” I immediately stopped reading to open my laptop for my normal morning searches and went to the IFA… to this page, where I viewed the Eiffel Tower video linked in this report as well as the “Faith of a Child” posted there. I continued to read and immediately realized how wrong my question was. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner. Who am I to question The Lord’s intentions? The God of Israel and God of all the earth, never slumbers or sleeps!

Father God, You are Almighty. You are exalted over all creation. Your Name is HOLY and only in the Mighty Name of Jesus are we saved! You are moving in California. You are moving in France. I pray worldwide, countless men, women and children, will call upon the Name of Jesus Christ and be saved. I pray as the Holy Spirit fills Your intended and in each moment, that number increases exponentially. I praise the Name of Jesus Christ over America, France, Israel, Iran, Russia, China, Afghanistan, South Africa, Mexico, UK, Finland, Italy……over all the sick and corrupted of the world…we are so many but You are ONE, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Thank You that Your work is abundant, powerful and eternal. I pray You continue blessing the works of You hands. Thank You Lord for correcting my thinking. Amen

Heavenly Father I pray for revival in all of our states and cities. We need you Father. We are desperate in America and only you can help us. I pray for all the young people who are not being taught anything about you in their homes, that they will seek and find you as their personal savior. I am praying for my own grandchildren as well who even though they were taught about you are instead listening to and seeking what the world offers rather than what they were taught. I pray that we will see a renewed move of your spirit upon the saved and unsaved and that we will allow you to guide our footsteps and paths until your soon return. I worship and honor you, My Savior, My Lord. You alone are worthy to be praised and I thank you for your sacrifice Romans 5:8 God commended his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us! Thank you thank you.

Praise the Lord our God for this evidence of revival in America. May it spread throughout the land, from sea to shining sea, for the glory of Jesus Christ. May His name a fame be magnified and honored by all who are willing to turn from sin and death to the new life He promises. Send Holy Spirit to regenerate lives throughout America in Jesus’s name, amen. 🙏
