We waited on the Lord for clues before setting out. What were the clues like?
Red emblem on hat. Coke can. Green Shirt. Bandanna said one person. Handkerchief said a second person. Character from Der Wienerschnitzel - the running hot dog. Yellow something, by three of the four team members. And a couple more I cannot remember. Those listed we found, in fact we located most of our clues that night!
First woman we run into with yellow allowed us to pray blessing on her, as well as address her two friends who came up while we were talking. We explained that we were on a treasure hunt and that she matched the clue we had by three people. The group allowed us to speak into their lives, off we went to find the next "treasure".
We walked for a long distance without seeing anyone who matched our clues. In fact we all felt like something was coming at us, so we prayed. Whatever it was, left. Woo hoo.
We happened upon a van whose antenna was adorned with a small rubber replica of the Hot Dog Guy. Clue found. No one was around the van so we began asking people if they were the owner of the van. No one claimed it. We proceeded to the pier to find more "treasures", wait on the Lord's timing before returning to van,
We found a family standing next to two coke cans as revealed in prayer. We prayed with the family, they were out from New Mexico visiting family here in CA. The husband was out of work and allowed us to pray for a new job upon his return.
We continued on the pier. We found a fellow wearing a green shirt, he listened to our team member share with him, but declined prayer. The three of us stood near and prayed quietly. He declined prayer, at least he listened to what V. had to say.
We walked a short distance around the end of the pier and saw a man who was wearing a bandanna. The first one matching the description. We'd had a feeling the person matching the clue would show up on the pier and sure enough, there he was. And by the way, he was the only one we saw that night wearing a bandanna. He allowed us to pray, speak to him prophetically. He was raised by a devout Mormon mother. We set a hand on his shoulder with permission, and released the Kingdom. He received, and he was eager to return to fishing off the pier. It is important to go only as long as there is favor!
One of our team members found the fellow matching the description of a clue he'd seen in prayer. Then he bumped into a former student. I don't know everything said, but know both contacts were divine appointments.
We left the pier, headed back to the van still parked at the curb. We sat in front of it and waited. Soon a woman with a cap and red emblem stepped in front of us. She matched the clue. One of us jumped up and stopped her, explained what we were doing, did she need prayer for anything? She said yes, her husband needed a job. The person who received the clue just got a job after months and months of prayer and seeking, so we had her pray since she got such an amazing answer and breakthrough in her life. Pass on the victories you've gotten from the Lord in prayer!
We continued on, K. got a call from her son miles away in Brea who had a clue. White hat. We found a fellow in front of the grocery store matching that clue, we prayed for him, he was greatly touched when we explained how it was that we came to him.
All said, it was a great fun night sharing the Kingdom with the folks God intended for us to find!
