treasure hunting - part 2
what's better than a treasure hunt? Answer: 2 treasure hunts in the same day!
another group of Christians had asked if we could come and go out for some "power spilling" and so after our afternoon treasure hunt, we went up for another one in the evening. We decided to head to a local park and after a time of prayer, the Lord had given us another list of "clues" and so off we went.
one of the clues was a small, red children's bike. we walked up to a man w/ his son who had a small red bike. I had a word of knowledge for a headache. his wife (who wasn't there) had migraines. we got to pray for her. I also had a word of knowledge for his mother who was with him, but she was shy and didn't want prayer. while we were with this man, one of our group noticed that another lady was standing nearby with her kids who had holes in the knees of her jeans (which was another clue on our list). We asked her if she needed prayer and she began to open up and we got to pray for her. The Lord also gave us some prophetic words for her, which were meaningful to her. At the end, she asked where my friend who lives nearby went to Church and said she wanted to come!
After this, I approached a young man who was playing soccer - I had a wrong word of knowledge (yes, it happens ALL the time:). That didn't matter - the Lord had us meet him to encourage him, as he was struggling with his mother who was recovering from surgery. I was able to pray with him and the Lord really touched him.
At this point, I saw a large group of African-Americans. We decided to break in and offer to pray for anyone who needed a miracle. The Lord opened an amazing door - one part of our group was talking to this one woman and she said, "if you guys are really from the Lord, you will tell me what's wrong with me". Talk about having to step up and deliver the goods! Anyway, one of the guys presses in and the Lord gives him a word of knowledge about a lower back problem. that was correct!! However, that wasn't enough for her - she asks, "O.K. and what else is wrong"?! Talk about a challenge. This young guy then gets another word of knowledge for her right knee. Sure enough that was correct too! She was sold! That opened a huge door to minister to her and then she is calling her friends over testifying "these guys are from God they told me what was wrong with me"!! (btw - that is always the best when the stranger you are ministering too becomes your promoter! This woman stayed with us for like 45 minutes!
I got to minister to another man and also a woman with her young daughter. The Lord gave me some prophetic stuff for this woman which was meaningful to her. We laid hands on her to release her into an encounter with the Lord. She was struggling with drugs and alcohol abuse and allowed us to pray for her to be filled with the Holy Spirit instead of the other "spirits" she was getting high on.
Finally, we approached a group of 4 teenagers and asked them if they wanted to see a miracle. They said they did. We inquired as to any physical problem that might need healing. One of them had injured his wrist and let up pray. After praying once, it was like 85% healed. We prayed again and he said all the pain had left. To test it out, he did a 'thumb war' with his friend and beat him twice! (new method of testing to see if something was healed). We also got some prophetic words for the young man. His friend claimed to be an atheist and one of our team got some very accurate prophetic stuff for him - about his musical talents and also his love of literature. He pretty much rejected it all and said we were just good at "reading people". We asked him how his friends wrist was healed - for that he really didn't have an answer.
that was good night in the park!
