14 Go Out To Location, At Least 20 Ministered To

Today, 14 of us gathered to "Treasure Hunt". There are so many stories, some I was present to see, others I only heard about.

Just out of our cars, we saw two young men walking our way, one wearing brown shorts, matching a clue. Two of our guys walked up to the young men, immediately one said yes, I have pain in my abdomen, which left after we prayed for him a couple of times. (Sometimes pain leaves in stages, it is good to press in and continue to pray for continued healing)

The first young man matched several clues. Brown pants, three rings (on shirt), the number three (again referring to the three rings on his shirt), International House of Pancakes ( They'd just came from an IHOP conference, we went to this location since there is an IHOP restaurant onsite, is that too fun) parking lot, (we found them in the parking lot) Hot sun, (the sun was shining bright on us, most often we find people in places, so two clues told us we'd find people outside), we were standing near palm trees (another clue).

We showed this young man all the clues he matched which amazed him and demonstrated how intentional God was in leading us to him. We prayed for his healing, which came.

Then we looked at his friend and said are you wanting the same prayer of blessings and impartation? "Yes" he said! Tears fell from his eyes. He stepped forward, I noticed he had braces on his teeth. I asked him if he had problems with his mouth, braces, teeth. "Yes" he said, "Someone bumped my cheek and now three teeth are loose" We prayed....... Yup..... Jesus put those teeth in tight, he checked, discovered they were no longer loose, he was amazed.

We prayed and prophesied over him as well, both young men were rocked by the Holy Spirit!

After leaving them, we split into a few groups. This is where it is difficult to share all the stories, but they are all good!

Three young men were approached and were spoken to about the gospel. A family with a white dog was prayed for, the white dog being the identifying clue. Another fellow passed us with a blue and white sports uniform, we approached him and told him he is God's treasure, he said he knew about Jesus but was not walking strong, we prayed, he received. We prayed for an older man who was driving a car with a crystal ball hanging from the rear view mirror, he also walked with a cane which matched a clue. We prayed for a young woman with a black and white checked shirt/dress, also matching a clue.

We prayed for a woman who matched several clues. Beauty Shop, Sally, watermelon, angel rally monkey.

We prayed for A. who approached us on a sidewalk, his job is to hand out flyers for his store. Another woman in a grocery store fit the visual profile of another clue, she received prayer. A young man got healing in his wrist as a result of prayer. Another young woman repeated the prayer of salvation in front of her clues, she also matched a clue.

We prayed for a woman who does not speak much English, fortunately one of our team members could speak her language. We stopped to talk with her since she was wearing a shirt with feathers that matched a clue. She was out of work and going through a divorce. We prayed for two women shopping together, they were both eager for prayer, one lost a loved one, the other had a niece with breast cancer needing prayer.

So many needs, A great Big God who is eager to meet people out in a parking lot and bring His Kingdom into their lives through a band of everyday people.

We prayed for more than I can recount since the team fanned out over the entire shopping center.

It was an awesome day! Yeah God!

Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
