Kingdom Adventures (part 1) - taxi driver and family
These "Kingdom Adventures" posts will be from my perspective (DJ's). Isaac will also blog about our trip together, emphasizing different things that the Lord did.
Our adventure began soon after we arrived at the airport and were picked up by a muslim taxi driver named Yusif. we began to get words of knowledge for he and his family. We got a word for his mother - her left leg. Ben also got words for his neice, his sister and him personally. He was interested and wanted to me again.
The following night Yusif arrived at our hotel with his parents and his sister who all wanted/needed prayer for healing. He drove an hour from outside the city for ministry! (Sadly, I have Christian friends who won't drive 1/2 hour for a miracle meeting).
Over the course of the next two hours, Isaac and I ministered healing, prophetically and were able to preach many things about the Kingdom of God to this muslim family.
The father, Abu Khalid, was like an oak tree when we ministered to him. He had a very difficult time receiving and didn't seem to be impacted very much. He had some issues that came up that we discussed (unforgiveness, etc), but basically when we are ministering healing and miracles evangelistically, those things shouldn't matter. We just were able to see the breakthroughs with him. He did allow us to pray several times. In hindsight, we definitely shouldn't have begun by praying for the father.
The mother, Um Khalid, was a different story. Both Isaac and I had received a word of knowledge for a left leg problem the day before. This word was for this woman. As we prayed for her, the Holy Spirit came upon her and she could feel tingling all over as we prayed - especially in her legs and back which was where she needed healing. She was visibly touched. We also got some prophetic words for her.
Yusif's sister, Warde, was next. As I laid hands upon her, she also felt the Holy Spirit's presence and the pain left her back. She was also ministered to prophetically
Isaac prayed for Yusif's wrist which was also healed.
During our time together, a real spirit of preaching came on me at one point and in Arabic I really gave them the essence of the Kingdom message.
For me personally, the absolute highlight of the evening was when the Lord gave me the name "Samira". I asked them who that was and it was the name of Yusif's ex-wife. His sister said that they had been talking on the way to the hotel about how he should go back and remarry her!!!! She insisted to Yusif that this was the Lord speaking and confirming what he should do - and this from a muslim woman who is relying on a Christian's prophetic word!
In the end, we saw Yusif one more time as he took us back to the airport at the end of our trip. I asked him again if he was going to obey the Lord and reconnect with "Samira". That was our parting word for him. We also directed him to Christians in the city who would be able to help him further.
