On a recent trip to the mall, we saw many people touched through Power Evangelism. We rejoice. God's love and healing touch was released to those Jesus led us to.
On the way into the mall, Karen got a clear impression to minister to a young man who could not hear along with his mother. She followed them to the Apple store, where they agreed to receive prayer. Her word hit the target according to the mother. yeah God!
We gathered at the food court, chatted for a bit, prayed, Bill and Crystal and Karen shared clues they received.
We left the food court and found T. an older man walking with a cane. He agreed to receive prayer for healing from the ravages of a stroke 6yrs. prior. As we prayed and prophesied over him he began to weep. The compassion of the Lord rested over him in power. He was greatly touched, loved and encouraged. As people passed they looked back to see this man weeping in the middle of four people. I think some understood he was receiving prayer, I pray this becomes a normal sight in Orange County soon! That is, the church taking ministry in the streets as Jesus did.
Next we found Freida in a department store. A clue received by B. led us to her. We talked with her a bit, prayed for she and her husband.
We left the department store and went out to the mall. Eventually we met up with a woman wearing a pink shirt who the Lord highlighted. She received prayer and encouragement, she gave a hug, was surprised and grateful for the love and ministry she received.
We continued through the mall looking for those who matched the clues we'd received earlier. C. had gotten the word orange. Outside of the book store I looked across the way and noticed the Orange Julius. I mentioned to Crystal, hey that was your clue let's check it out. We walked over. We were just beginning to discern whether to approach two women or the fellows in the Orange Julius when an co-worker of Karen's approached who'd she prayed for at work. We asked Ernesto if he wanted prayer, he eagerly agreed. We sat him down and prayed for healing to his knee, pancreas, diabetes. He, his wife and friend were greatly encouraged by the time spent with them in prayer in the mall.
As we walked through the mall, we received samples for a product being promoted. I looked at the young gal who handed me a my sample. The Lord gave me a word of knowledge regarding her gifting and destiny, I shared it with her. She was grateful for the encouragement and allowed me to pray over her. She hugged me after the surprise moment of ministry.
It was nearly time for Karen to leave for work at WalMart. She felt a leading to head towards the Pizza Kitchen. As we arrived, Bill noticed a woman from the VA healing room. We informed her what we were up to at the mall. She volunteered her sister-in-law who was eager to receive prayer. She is going on a missions trip in the fall, which we committed to prayer as we laid hands on her. She was touched, Christine was all smiles as she watched Mary receive prayer. Yeah God. I think Mary got a first hand experience in market place ministry which God may lead her to do when she goes to Korea!
Karen left for work, Bill Crystal and I drove our cars to the Wal Mart shopping center. We decided to see what God would lead us to at that venue. We walked through a pet store and found no opportunities. We headed towards Wal Mart. I felt a leading to go out to the Garden Center. A couple was shopping the garden furniture. I approached them and chatted, they were eager to receive prayer when asked for permission. The wife suffered from Parkinson's. The husband had issues with his back. As we began to pray for A., I asked what she was feeling, she said it felt like she was being showered in the Spirit. The Lord came on her powerfully. We concluded prayer, a subject came up which I spoke into, we prayed over as a group. The husband received prayer as well. It was after prayer that A. explained that it was just that morning the Lord had challenged her in bed to walk as she had been taught my her minister father instead of giving into her symptoms. She made a commitment to the Lord. Hours later God sent us to her to pray for her healing, break off stuff, release ministry, encouragement, etc. I got choked up when I was listening to her testimony.
The greatness and love of God is incredible. He blessed her for responding to Him out of obedience and He sent a tangible blessing through four of His kids only hours later. How awesome is that?!!!!!!!
As Bill stated, each Saturday has gotten better than the last. I love to see God touched and ministered to, loved by God through our teams.
I resisted the prophetic for so a season out of fear and concern. I am so glad to see a positive outcome. Truly, to see God touch people through words of knowledge. demonstrations of power as spoken of in 1 Cor. 1, in order that people might come to Him, know Him more, etc, is such a privilege and joy!
I am truly ecstatic to see Crystal getting words before we go out, and now to see her report that she realized God was giving her a direction through a song repeating in her head is such incredible breakthrough. Something she has been pressing into for almost two years with little success is now beginning to manifest. Wow. God is so great.
It is wonderful to see Karen's progress in stepping out with the team. Initially she would walk with us and say little, that has changed in the last two weeks. She is gaining confidence to step out in the company of others. The fear of man is beginning to break, Yeah God.
Too much to report, but here are the high lights.
