Team Of Fifteen Spread Out In Two Locations In Long Beach

Recently our team traveled to Long Beach. We "soaked" in God's presence for a while, prayed for one another, waited quietly in prayer in order to receive clues for the treasure hunt.

We read off the clues from each prayer taking note of duplicate clues. We focused on location clues and realized God was sending us to two locations. We broke into teams and off we went.

One team went into a pet store and immediately saw a man by the fish tanks. Two people had gotten a clue about fish, so we followed the man into another isle. He stood by the bird cages which was another clue. We stopped to talk with him, we eventually prayed for him, the Lord came on him powerfully, we was very grateful for the prayer.

Two teams met up together, we wandered the store and literally bumped into two young men matching a clue, "skate boarders". They were each holding skate boards. We talked with them eventually two of their friends walked up who joined the conversation. Turns out one of them had been talking to his friend about Jesus, he was glad to see us come and do the same. We asked two of them if they had ever had an encounter with the God, they said no. We pulled them into an isle and began to pray for them. Soon they were feeling something. One swayed and one began to shake his hands, his eyes fluttered. We told them they had just experienced the presence of God, then asked if they wanted to accept Jesus, both said yes!!!!!! We led them in prayer and encouraged them to listen to their friend who was available to help them understand the decision they had just made. We commissioned L. to disciple these new believers!

Our team members found many people matching the clues we had received earlier praying for people in two locations. It was a great day.

People encountered the presence of God, allowed us to pray and speak positively into their lives. The love of God was demonstrated in power, seeds were planted.

It's all good, planting, watering and harvesting!

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!"
