FEAR Extinguishers (DAY 28) - Holy Saturday encounters
One again we had the chance to minister to a number of people in the Name of Jesus.
On my morning prayer walk, my good friend and I met a Filipino Christian man who was waiting in his truck outside of a customer's home. We had the chance to encourage him on this Easter weekend, to pray for him and to speak about the Lord and His work of redemption. We weren't rushed and so it was a truly special time with this man who will not be celebrating Easter tomorrow with his church. We got to "be the church" today for him!
Later we got to follow up with another Filipino Christian woman working in a restaurant who we had prayed for a week or two ago. My wife got to pray with her again and since we are breaking our fast tomorrow and getting food from that restaurant, we told her we'd be back to celebrate Easter with her!
After that, we got to bless another group in a coffee shop I have been visiting - including a new Italian manager that we hadn't met before. We will visit them again on Easter Sunday to pray for them and declare that "He is Risen"!
I got to pray for 2 more Indian men - one of them identified as a Christian and we had the chance to speak about the Resurrection of our Lord.
Finally,, I had yet another chance to say prayers of blessing, protection, and provision over two Egyptian Muslim security guards.
It is incredible how many people the Lord will enable us to bless, to pray for and to speak with about Jesus in these days when many don't believe it to be possible!
...for such a time as this!
