treasure hunting - part 1
a group of us headed to a local mall to see what the Lord would do in a supernatural way. before heading out, we waited on the Lord for the "clues" that He would give us about the conditions we would find, people we would meet and even places we should go. If you have read 'The Ultimate Treasure Hunt' by Kevin Dedmon - we strongly recommend it.
by the end of our time, we had found many if not most of the prophetic clues that the Lord had given us on our treasure maps. since there were many of us, I don't even remember all the stories, but here were a couple of things that I saw personally;
- while talking to one young woman who worked in the mall, I got a word of knowledge for an eye problem in the left eye. I asked her what that meant to her. She said her nephew was cross-eyed in his left eye and she was seeing him right after work. we prayed for her to carry a gift of healing to him and instructed her how to pray (i.e. the Lord's Prayer). After praying for her, she said she felt 'tingling' in her hands. we told her - "you've got it, now go and release it". After that I just felt the Lord said she was battling with the pain and unforgiveness due to a relationship. She said, "No". I asked the Lord for a bit more detail and I sensed it happened 6 months earlier and was a good girlfriend of hers. After that, she said, "Yes, that's true". We got to pray for further healing and just encourage her as she had already been releasing her and forgiving her. (note: this illustrates how the Lord will give us more information if we will wait for Him and ask for it)
- we was a woman walking with a cane. one of the women in our group approached them and asked if we could pray for her. she was willing (it was a Catholic family). she had had a stroke and it was affecting the entire right side of her body. two of our team began to pray and the Lord began to touch her and she could feel something happening all over her right side. I asked if we could pray again to bless what the Lord was doing and to ask Him for more - the Holy Spirit increased His presence and the woman got tears in her eyes, as did her daughter. It was so special to see the Lord just touch and encourage this woman. We had her test it out - by walking without her cane. She said she felt more stable and "lighter" as she walked. We also got to minister to another one of her daughters who was really in a painful marriage - the Lord gave us some prophetic words to encourage her and we got to pray. She too was teary-eyed.
these two stories were just some of the "treasures" that the Lord allowed us to find. Some of the people we approached were totally uninterested in receiving anything. there were in fact a lot of people who didn't want anything to do with us in that mall, however, just a couple of encounters make it all more than worth it.
at the end of this time, we loaded up the car and headed up for another treasure hunt - see the next post, for part 2
