Salvation by the Waterfall! Healing outside of a department store!

Five showed up today, others attended a memorial. We prayed, soaked in worship for maybe 40 minutes as people showed up. Then we prayed for clues, shared.

Three people felt the Lord directing us to Target, the other clues received confirmed which one.

Off to Target. We split into two teams, we walked in the store for a while, one team found someone matching a clue to pray for, my group zip though we approached several men wearing black caps which was one of the clues.

We met up with the other team and decided to head to the grocery store around the corner, another clue received. On our way we found an old woman hobbling behind her cart. I stopped her, P. translated, we prayed for her spine, she began to feel the presence even giggled, laughed that the pain had gone away! It was powerful. She said she already believed in God, read pamphlets every day about him. Off we went. We saw a healing! Woo hoo!

We walked for quite, not much happened. One team member talked with a woman who turned out to be an athiest, attends a Unitarian church he once attended. He shared with her a bit, was hoping for more. This is where I have to trust God. When a connection is made like this, I trust that seeds are planted that God will water later.

We got to the grocery store, one group approached man, he fit a clue, did not want prayer. Two team members approached man fitting clue, he allowed us to pray for he and mom who is sick. He perspired when we prayed, something was going on, he said he felt something in broken English when we prayed for his mom. We kept him only as long as we had grace, off we went.

I passed woman who the Lord highlighted, when I turn back to talk with her, I noticed she fit a clue, she received prayer for herself and her daughter.

We left the grocery store, walked across the parking lot towards a fountain which was clue. I prayed a lot since it felt like we were walking a long time without much fruit.

The group walked to a small plaza near the main fountain. I noticed a group of hispanic women with children. I walk up, "Does anyone need prayer for healing, any issues, we are walking around praying for people" No they say. Two leave with a few children. One stays. I ask her if I can pray for her? After chatting a minute she says yes. I think it made a difference that her friends had left the scene.

I took her hand as I prayed. I could feel a powerful release from the Lord, I asked her if she felt anything, yes, she says in my heart, I pray again, I explain that God is touching her emotions. Her whole countenance changed, I decided to talk with her a bit. I asked her questions and in her her broken English she answered. I explained why one needs to become born again, then I asked her if she wanted to give her life to Jesus? She SAID YES! I asked P. who speaks spanish to lead her in the sinners prayer, while she was doing so, I noticed the water feature next to us included waterfalls which was one of the clues. Earlier two of the gals on the team got the clue wheat. I realized that the woman in front of us was more than a cold call, she was the "wheat" harvested next to the waterfall, a planned appointment by God! We were all very excited now that we were seeing breakthroug!

We crossed the street, went to Toys R Us to baby section, we found L. who was in the baby section which fit another of our clues. P. spoke to her in Spanish about the gospel, we blessed her quickly when a phone call from daughter in another part of store ended our conversation. No one else in store matched clues we left.

We decided to walk across the street to a large outlet type store. From a distance, I could see a woman standing at the corner light with a large store sign. I felt we were supposed to talk with her. When we crossed the street, I noticed she was on cell phone, we paused, I just felt such a strong conviction to talk with her, so I waited for her to finish her cell call. I looked up and noticed we were outside of a Steak House, now I was positive we were supposed to talk with her, one of the clues was Filet Mingon! Now that she was off the phone I decided to walk up to her and explain that we were on a treasure hunt and that she matched a clue we were searching for. She was eager for prayer, a believer, her mother had a leg amputated due to diabetes. As she's holding up the sign up, which was big enough to shield us, we prayed, she totally felt the holy Spirit, we prayed for mom D and her, prayed again it was powerful, she was so touched, I had my hand over her hand which was holding up the large sign, she adjusted her fingers and just grabbed onto my hand. The compassion of God was flowing.

We passed a woman by Michaels. Older, I appraoched her, both daughters, one teen, one preteen came close. We explained what we were doing, could we bless them in prayer, sure why not she said. Then I got words for the one teen who was resistant to what was going on. I asked her to step in the circle we had formed in order to hold hands and pray for the three. She did, I took her hand, the power began to flow.. She felt God's presence, it her whole attitude changed, she began receiving from us.

She allowed me to speak words of prophecy and destiny. T. got a word for G. she received it, then I gave her a word too. Then mom tells us that our meeting was God at work. She explained she doesn't go to church much, however she'd just gotten a text from a cousin she'd not seen in six years who wanted to take her to church the next day! God's timing!

We walked around the corner to another large store, we finally found woman who fit a description I had gotten. Again, P. translated, addressed another woman in Spansih, B. received and was blessed.

We called it a day, it had been hot, we walked a long time, went to Ruby's for dinner and sat and talked about each other dreams, interpreted them.

We prayed for twelve different people, talked to a few who would not let us pray, we saw a healing, a salvation, a good day.

Thank-you God for allowing us to partner with You today!
