Sharing my heart and vision for the upcoming
"Heaven Touching Earth" Conference at Sea
by Debra Hoskins
My heart has captured the vision for our upcoming "Heaven Touching Earth" Conference at Sea. I believe God has handpicked the speakers and all those that will gather together in one accord for a minimum of 7 meetings. A chosen group that hungers and thirsts for true intimacy with Jesus. One that is never satisfied, has a continual craving for more of Him and ALL that He is. As we keep our eyes fixed on Him we will change the atmosphere with our Praise and Worship and ministering in the realm of the supernatural, bringing Heaven to Earth with manifestations of miracles signs and wonders. I believe each and every person will be forever changed, therefore changing the realm of the spirit wherever they go for the Glory of God. I see a new dimension of the awakening in the spirit for all in attendance that will be carried throughout the ship, onto the islands and back to home.
This is a Western Caribbean Cruise. We will be on 4 different islands where each individual will have fun and be His good pleasure as we go about our day. I'd like to look at our free days as a Pleasure/Treasure Hunt staying on the path that He has predestined and set before us.
While touring the islands, whether your shopping, parasailing, snorkeling or even swimming the the dolphins as one of the many activities available, there are always people in need. How many people may come to know Jesus, rededicate their life or receive a much needed miracle because of one of us being placed in their pathway. Maybe it will just be the love of Christ shed abroad through us, the joy of the Lord, His compassion, or even a smile may be all it takes to touch someone. Everyone will be on their own, on and off the ship. Let everyone have a God consciousness and stay tuned in to His frequency while we are out and about. Yes Lord, let Your Glory bleed off of us like a vapor and Your light shine out of us like a light bulb, on and off the ship. Have Your way Holy Spirit as we function in your unction bringing Heaven to earth.
Before the last ministry cruise I participated in as part of a ministry team, I had some little 9"x 14" light weight backpacks printed that read Want Prayer, Ask me. I only brought a few with me but everyone who saw them wanted one, even some of the islanders which God blessed by having us give them ours on the last day. The experiences we had at St. Marteen and St. Thomas were above and beyond what I expected. It was so much fun and at one point we had a whole store of employees (8 people) ask us to pray for the success of the business and for them personally. We all took hands and made a circle of prayer in the middle of Linens Galore where the glory of God came down touching each person. Even our taxi driver and a lady selling clothing in a booth experienced the manifestation of the sparkling Golden Glory on their hands during prayer. They were in tears of awe and joy; it was so awesome,God is so fun!
On the "Heaven Touching Earth" Cruise everyone will receive a free pack to wear if they like. Shirts, hats and bible bags,etc. will also be available that read "Want Prayer, Ask Me. You never know what God wants to do but we will be ready for His agenda. Cruisers will have the opportunity to write their experiences and submit them for Testimony Night where some will take the platform and share.
I will be putting together a book of everyone's "Heaven Touching Earth" Testimonies, after the cruise, giving everyone up to 2 months after the trip to submit for publication. This should be fun as every experience will be different and no doubt, life changing.
God bless you all as you prayerfully consider the invite to join Matt Sorger, Joshua and Janet Mills, Steve Swanson and more aboard Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas.
