During a walk through the Mall with two kinship members, I spied a woman who I'll refer to as M., behind a Kiosk counter seemingly talking to herself. When I looked at her, the Lord told me "She's a believer". I walked up to her and teased her a bit in order to open a conversation.
I asked her who she was talking to, since no one seemed close by? She laughed and pointed to a gal sitting on the floor behind the counter. We chuckled.
I asked, "You know the Lord, don't you?" She replied, yes, along with a look of surprise.
*Even if I am fairly certain of what the Lord has told me, I prefer to confirm it by asking the person a question. 1. It comes across less intimidating. (Most people I meet are unaware that God speaks this way). 2. It initiates conversation in a manner that invites them to engage, verses pronouncing the revelation over them as fact. 3. My interpretation of what I've heard may not be completely correct which I will discuss in an ensuing post.
M. then told me she had just decided to go back to church. Her co-worker and she had just been talking about M.'s decision to go back to church. Aha, I thought to myself, this is why I am here, to bless her in prayer, bless her decision. Immediately I asked if I could pray for her, to which she agreed.
We held hands, the Holy Spirit began to rest on her. She acknowledged feeling the presence of the Lord, as her eye lids fluttered.
The co-worker allowed me to pray for her as well.
What a blessing to see God break into, touch and encourage His people!
Eph2:8-10
