Several of us gathered a couple Saturday's ago to go on out reach using the Treasure Hunt method. We soaked in God's presence, prayed for one another, then waited on the Holy Spirit to give us clues which would point to the "treasures" we'd find later in the market place.
Our clues sent us to Brea, first to a hamburger place.
On the way, in one of the vehicles, we prayed for a team member who'd had an accident earlier in the day. She dented her skull by standing up too quickly resulting in a dent when she hit the edge of a hard plastic rim.
The team prayed for the dent to come out, which it finally did int the parking lot, after the second load of team members joined in and commanded the dent to return to smooth bone. Several minutes later, no more dent. You know, this is just a great way to start out reach!!
The owner of the burger establishment did not allow us to pray for his employees after he discovered us talking with him. So we ordered lots of food and ate in the lunch room. Eventually we approached a couple people in the parking lot, nothing remarkable happened.
smile, and move on!
We walked to a park and approached two people who we talked with and prayed for, yet nothing amazing happened. We pressed in and continued to walk through to the shopping center beyond the park.
Break through!
Three team members headed over to a burger place, a specific clue, three people got saved when one of our team members said near the back door, "does anyone want prayer for anything?"
Three folks said yes, they had been approached earlier in the day at the beach. Now they wanted prayer which led to accepting Jesus, became born again.
Another team member led someone to the Lord before meeting up with the team.
At the grocery store, the manager accepted prayer after being told she matched a clue.
Outside the grocery store one young woman accepted Jesus, then her two companions got prayer for healing. One got hit by the power of the Holy Spirit as she received prayer, the other said the pain left her tooth as she got prayer!
Another fellow walks up to the grocery store where other team members were standing, waiting for us to finish praying for the three women. He gets healed, doesn't need cane, and was seen a few days later without the cane, thank-You to Jesus!
Another woman walks past the group who was limping. She had part of her leg amputated, we prayed for the pain to go away, which it did. And by the way, her name was M____ which matched a clue one of our team members had written down. M. yelled out with joy when she saw her name. She was incredibly touched, filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Altogether, 6 people got saved that Saturday. And 5 got healed, one radically.
There are other stories, I just don't know all the details since we split into teams. I can say this, when we gathered to tell stories, there were lots to share!
Many people were found who matched the clues given to us by the Holy Spirit. Many heard the gospel of Good News. Many received prayer, were encouraged, received prophetic ministry.
It was an awesome day, faith increased, expectation increased. Yeah God!
