Pet Store Encounter

The other day I had little time to run into a local pet store for dog food. While reading dog food labels, I was approached by a store clerk. I own two dogs with special food needs so I welcomed his help.

We talked about dog food options for maybe five minutes. I looked down at one product label during the discussion, then up at the clerk again. This is when I saw an open vision of multiple balloons around his head and shoulders.

I knew from experience that God was showing me that E. is needing, and will receive greater revelation. I suspected that E. had a lot of questions on his mind, which I later found to be the case.

I continued the conversation about dog food, while praying silently for direction.

I was led to ask E. if he knew Jesus as his savior?

He said that he was not sure about what religion he would eventually choose. He added that if he was going to believe in Jesus, there were many questions he'd need answered before making his final choice.

Bingo.

I asked him what kind of questions. He shared some. I pointed him in a direction which might help, offered an answer or two.

He shared a little about his life, early experience in church. I spoke to both issues.

Then he repeated that he was so busy getting his life in order that he did not have time to go back to a church.

I finally felt a release to share the vision I saw around him, I referenced scripture mention of visions. I encouraged him to seek God with all his questions who loves to build relationship with those who seek Him.

E.'s name was announced over the store intercom, it was time for him to go up front and get a bird cage down for a customer.

I quickly blessed E. and thanked him for all of his help.

And I thought I was just running in for dog food!

Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
