Mall Trip, June 7, 2008

While P and I were praying for the couple and two children, our other team members B. and R. prayed for a couple just a few yards away from us.

The woman apparently called out to them which instigated the encounter. The husband sat in a wheel chair and was obviously recovering from eye surgery of some sort.

They received prayer from B and R, then P and I joined them and supported them in prayer.

I had a word of knowledge about the wife but chose not to speak it, I also heard the Lord give a word of knowledge about her gift of helps. I shared the word about her desire to help people. She allowed me to pray blessing for her. She volunteered confirmation to the other thing God had shown me which I never voiced. I covered it silently in prayer.

As we grow in our gifts, seeing people's failings and sin becomes perceptible.

How we handle that information is of utmost importance.

There is more accomplished by praying in the blessing and encouragement.

I found it noteworthy that as I focused on the positive word, she confessed her failing. The Holy Spirit was at work, I did not need to do anything more than cover it quietly in prayer.

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!"

John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father".
