We started off Saturday morning with a Baptismal service in the Jordan River, which is actually a large beautiful creek that is quite deep. One of the girls in the group I was traveling with had never been baptised and wanted to be baptised in the Jordan. There was an opportunity to lay hands on her and pray for her before her baptism and the Lord gave me a Word for her. I got to share it during the prayer time. It was such a blessing to be used to speak into her life on the day of her baptism! After the baptism time, we left for Jesus' home town, Nazareth. Sadly, today it's an Arab Muslim town with very few Christians. That was the first time in Israel I heard the Muslim calls to prayer on the loud speakers. On the way we passed through the town of Kana which is also Muslim. After that we drove up to Mt Carmel. From high up on this mountain from every direction your eye can see is is a spectacular view of the central part of Israel. God's presence was so thick there. I could feel the Holy Spirit brooding over Israel there, seeking to pour out life and peace to the people there. In this place, I have never felt so much peace. Here, there's a statue of Elijah killing the prophets of Ba'al after God's miraculous display of power.
