Before going out to "cast your net" in the market place, take the time to "dial down" and wait on the Lord for "clues". (Write down ALL the clues, as you will see in this story, it is possible to dismiss clues as unimportant).
Specifically ask God to show you pictures that will lead you to those He intends for you to speak to, or ask for words of knowledge.
Examples: vision/mental picture of a poodle with a red collar. Word of Knowledge, no picture: cast on left foot, lady shopper and child standing in front of Sees Candy, popular TV show title.
Write down your clues, set out into the venue you've been led to canvas, ask the Lord to open your eyes in order that you meet with the those matching the clues.
Story to illustrate:
On one of the trips to the mall, two of us received the same clue at separate times. One of the gals on our team heard the phrase, "lion of Judah" while waiting on the Holy Spirit for revelation/clues. When she shared this clue, I remarked that it was the same line I had heard while parking in the mall lot, specifically the last words before shutting off the motor.
We made this connection but did not know what to do with it. How do you go look for a "lion of Judah" and by the way, what does a "lion of Judah" look like anyway!
We pressed into finding the people that matched the other clues received such as; cast in leg, yellow shirt, green shirt and so on.
After walking the mall for quite a while I was approached by a young salesmen standing near a Kiosk. I took note of his accent. I asked him a question or two, asked if he knew the Lord Jesus? He replied that he is Jewish but not religious. This began a conversation that lasted maybe 10 minutes or so.
Early in the conversation I asked him his name, he replied, Judah!
Ah, the Lord had led me to the lion of Judah.
What followed was a lively, interesting conversation with this fellow. Our conversation took us to the old testament, he knew the Torah better than me. I stayed with the conversation since I was confident this conversation was appointed, pre-planned by the Lord.
His business partner came into the conversation after a while.
The encounter ended on a positive note, which is incredibly important.
1 Cor. 13:1.
