My Divine Appointment Weekend: Stepping into the Supernatural

Divine Appointment Weekend

A Weekend Ordained by God

Welcome, friends! It’s Conrad from ConradRocks.Net, and I’m so glad you’re here, sharing a virtual coffee with me. I have a passion for helping you cultivate a deep, spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, and today, I have to share what was truly a “divine appointment weekend.” I’m still buzzing from the experience, and I believe the stories from this past weekend will encourage and ignite a fire in you to step into the supernatural works that God has prepared for you.

As many of you who follow my podcasts know, I often record them in advance. But this one is fresh. I’m sitting here, reflecting on the incredible move of the Holy Spirit I witnessed, and I just had to share it with you. It was a powerful reminder that when we say "yes" to Jesus, He orchestrates encounters that are more profound and impactful than we could ever imagine. It was a weekend of stepping out of the boat, of seeing the prophetic in action, and of experiencing the raw, authentic power of the Gospel in the open field. So, grab your coffee, settle in, and let me tell you about this awesome adventure.

The Power of Showing Up: Our Tent Ministry Adventure

The weekend kicked off with an invitation from my friend, Johnny Gaston of Frontline Online TV. He was gathering believers to minister in the parking lot of a local grocery store in Grand Bay. My wife, Susan, and I were immediately excited. This is what it's all about—taking the church outside the four walls and into the community. We've never really done the "tent thing" before; our usual style is to walk, follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, and pray for people as He guides us. But we were ready for something new.

We had two tents set up. One was a brilliant idea for the sweltering heat: a snow cone tent! The concept was simple yet effective. On a super hot day, who can resist a free snow cone? As people came for a cool treat, it opened the door for conversations about the Gospel. We used the "Way of the Master" technique, asking simple questions to get people thinking about eternity. It was a gentle, relational way to introduce them to the love of Jesus.

Susan and I were stationed at the prayer tent. We had our big "PRAYER" sign, and our smaller sign with the #Jesus hashtag was there too. It felt a little different from our usual mobile ministry, but it was amazing to create a fixed point of light, a designated space where people knew they could come for spiritual help. And they did. A couple of people came up, and we had the privilege of praying with them right there in the middle of a busy parking lot. It was a beautiful thing to witness.

The Digital Kingdom: Social Media and the Body of Christ

One of the most remarkable aspects of this weekend was seeing the fruit of connections made online. I met both Johnny and another brother, Doug, through social media. It’s fascinating to see how the digital world is becoming a powerful tool for expanding the Kingdom of God. For years, I’ve talked about what I call the "honeycomb ministry." Think about it: honey bees go out individually to pollinate, but they all return to the hive to build the honeycomb together. In the same way, social media is connecting believers—warriors in Christ Jesus—from all over. It’s uniting us, stoking the fire of faith in our hearts, and activating us for a common purpose.

I’ve spoken before about how social media would unite, stoke, and activate the Body of Christ, and we are seeing this come to pass in real-time. We are building friendships and alliances in the Spirit that transcend geographical limitations. This weekend was a physical manifestation of that spiritual reality. We were no longer just online friends; we were co-laborers, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the harvest field.

The Corporate Anointing: When We Gather in His Name

There's a tangible shift in the spiritual atmosphere when believers gather with a single purpose. Before we began ministering, we all joined together for prayer. It wasn't a formal, scripted prayer; it was a raw, Spirit-filled moment of crying out to God. The presence of the Lord was so thick, so palpable, that Johnny looked up and said, "Man, we just had church!" And he was right. It was awesome.

It brought to my mind the story of King Saul. The Bible tells us he wasn't a prophet, but when he was among a company of prophets, the Spirit of God came upon him, and he began to prophesy.

"And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them." (1 Samuel 10:10, KJV)

That's a picture of the corporate prophetic anointing. It overflows! It’s like the psalmist says in Psalm 23, "My cup runneth over." The anointing on one person spills over onto the person next to them. This is why community is so vital to our spiritual walk. We can always learn from the person next to us, and we must also remember that we are an example to them. As we strive to learn from the Lord, yoked up with Him, the Scriptures become more alive than ever. We are "co-labourers with Christ," and in the process of working the field with Him, we begin to truly understand what He meant in His teachings.

A Supernatural Encounter: The Lone Preacher in the Parking Lot

After a full day of ministry, everyone was buzzing with excitement. While some went for fellowship, Doug, Susan, and I went back to my house and talked for hours about the things of God. Later, as we headed out to grab a pizza, we drove past another parking lot and noticed a man setting up a PA system. We made a mental note to check it out on our way back. What we found was a powerful, supernatural lesson in faith and provision.

There he was, a man preaching the Gospel with a generator and a PA system in the middle of a parking lot. He was positioned across from a large grocery store, heralding a public message. I was blown away. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. Across the way, about 150 feet from him, another man sat in his car, listening intently. It was a surreal and beautiful scene. I took some pictures and videos for my social media stories and went up to talk to the preacher. I had to encourage him, to let him know how awesome it was to see someone stepping out so boldly, working in the field.

Here’s the most incredible part. This man was not on social media. He wasn't building a platform or seeking recognition. He was simply being obedient. And as he preached, people would walk or drive across the parking lot and just give him money. He didn't even have a collection plate or a bucket! People would just place offerings near his equipment. It was a profound illustration of a spiritual principle:

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33, KJV)

This man wasn't begging for money or using manipulative tactics. He was doing the work of the ministry, and God was moving on the hearts of people to provide for him. It’s a powerful lesson for all of us. Don't put the physical cart before the spiritual horse. Just get out there and do what God has called you to do. How much money does it take to share the Gospel with your neighbor? Just go. Be obedient. The provision will follow.

Divine Appointments on the Pier: A Day of Prophetic Ministry

The next day, fueled by the events of Saturday, we prayed and felt led to go to Gulfport. I'll be honest, we faced some spiritual warfare that morning, but we pressed through, knowing the Lord wanted us there. One thing I've learned is to "pray the way." Before we go out to minister, we pray for the Lord to go before us, to prepare the hearts, to orchestrate the encounters. When we do that with a sincere heart, the ministry is always successful. And success isn't defined by numbers; it's defined by obedience. You might minister to one person who, like the woman at the well, goes on to win a whole town for Jesus.

We arrived at Gulfport beach, expecting a crowd on such a hot day, but it was nearly empty. The pier was the same—completely deserted, or so we thought. I even took a picture of the empty pier, but when I looked closer at the photo, I could see two heads popping up at the very end. Those were our divine appointments.

We walked down and started a conversation with the two men. Our Jesus shirts did a lot of the talking for us, opening the door. One of the men was going through a very hard time. He looked at us and said, "Man, I prayed to the Lord yesterday to send me somebody. Y'all are it." God had heard his cry. We had his full attention. We got to minister to him about unforgiveness and other struggles, sharing with him the "keys to the kingdom." The Bible says,

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32, KJV)

When we give someone the key of truth for their specific situation, and they grasp it, it moves from being words on a page to a living reality inside them. That is when true freedom comes. We prayed with both men, and it was a powerful time of ministry.

As we started to leave the pier, thinking our work was done, God had another appointment for us. A young woman was walking onto the pier, and we felt led to speak with her. "Hey," we said, "we're out here praying for people. Do you need prayer for anything?" Her eyes widened. "That's funny," she replied, "I just came here to pray." Her uncle had recently passed away, and it was causing her family to question their faith. I was able to share my own testimony of losing my dad and my battle with grief-induced depression. We prayed with her for the restoration of her family's faith, and she was deeply moved. She came seeking God, and He had sent us to meet her there.

Just when we thought it couldn't get any more supernatural, as we were finally leaving, we saw a couple feeding birds. We struck up a conversation, and again, the topic of depression came up. I explained how depression is often an agreement with the lies of the enemy. We believe we're alone, that no one understands, that no one cares. But we have the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, to fight those lies. We ministered to them, and they too recognized the encounter was not a coincidence. "This wasn't just a happenstance," the woman said, "this was God."

Conclusion: It's Your Turn to Work the Field

Looking back on that weekend, I am in awe of how God works. We started on a nearly empty pier and, one by one, God brought the people He wanted us to touch right to us. He had prepared each divine appointment. This is the adventure of the Christian life. This is the fulfillment that comes from being a part of someone's transformation.

I want to leave you with this encouragement. God has a "divine appointment weekend" for you, too. He has people in your life that He wants to reach through you. You don't need a special title, a big budget, or a perfect plan. You just need a willing heart and the courage to step out. The same Holy Spirit that guided us on that pier is with you right now.

I pray that this testimony lights a fire in your belly. I pray it stokes the passion within you to go out and work in the field. There is a harvest waiting, and the Lord of the Harvest is calling you. Experience the joy, the thrill, the profound fulfillment of witnessing a life changed by the power of Jesus.
