I was shopping with my family in Costco and decided to look at phone accessories. I walked up and immediately a young clerk asked what I was looking for. When I looked at his face I perceived that he had a belief in Jesus. When I told him what I was looking for he decided to take me over a few isles to see the product which was not displayed in his kiosk.
On our way, away from his co-workers, I had the chance to ask him if he was a Christian? This is my way of confirming what I believed to have heard through a word of knowledge.
He said no. I said really, you do not know who Jesus is? He said I know who Jesus is, but I am not a Christian, I am a Catholic.
This is apparently my week to reach out to Catholics.
I asked him the same questions as the previous couple I blogged about from the Sam's club encounter.
He said he did believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. As he declared his faith, I started getting downloads of words of knowledge. I began telling him things about himself and he looked at me with a somewhat surprised look. I asked if I could pray for him, which we did in the open isle with our eyes open. I blessed him in keeping with the words I had been given, he took it all in and was encouraged.
Yeah God, move in the Catholic church Lord, bring Your revival fire in the midst of them!

Prayer of Salvation
God in heaven, it is written in Your word that if I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in my heart that You have raised Him from the dead, I shall be saved.
Therefore, Father, I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord. I make Him Lord of my life right now. I believe in my heart that you raised Jesus from the dead.
I thank You for forgiving me all my sin. Jesus is my Lord, and I am a new creation. Old things have passed away. Now all things become new, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

The fruit in following Jesus' lead.
Luke 5 NIV
The Calling of the First Disciples
1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God, 2 he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
"Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."
5 Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.
Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.
