Team Member Steps Out And Leads Others To Treasure Hunt!
I have been talking to some close friends and family about the treasure hunting and asked if they'd be interested in going while I was visiting in Phoenix for Christmas; they were!
There were six newbies and myself! :) We spent some time soaking...God's presence was very apparent and He was already ministering to each of their hearts! I did a short teaching...showed a clip from the Finger of God video and discussed treasure hunting and what that looks like. God gave me the words! We practiced moving in the prophetic and God did some POWERFUL things. Many got pictures and words for one another that really went DEEP and got to the heart....many tears were shed. GOD IS AMAZING!!! (It wasn't something they were used to moving in)....and it was some of the MOST POWERFUL ministry time I've had the blessing of witnessing!!!!
We made our way out to the mall and as we approached and talked to people many, seeds were sown! 14 got ministered to. One instance...we approached an older man, John, sitting by a bedding display in Macy's (someone got the picturing of bedding/sheets....2 got the picture of a star...the man was holding a bag with a star on it). We approached and spoke to him, told him he was God's treasure and shared His love...he looked like he was about to cry. His wife, Carol, came up as we were talking and we also shared with her. She was blessed as he also (both believers)...they told us about the their daughter Laurie who was battling depression. We were able to pray into that briefly before they needed to leave. Carol also shared, in excitement, that she and John had been married for 11 yrs. She had 2 husbands prior that had passed away...and John had a previous wife that had passed on as well. They expressed there love for God and thankfulness. I don't know who was more blessed by the encounter....us or them!
More stories...but all in all God moved powerfully! I was able to see a peaked excitement and desire to on the groups part to hear from God in new and extraordinary ways...and to minister in love.
I'm excited for us to go out again soon! Blessings!!!! :)

Testimony of Team Member!
Just wanted to share with you an experience of Jesus touching people I had yesterday.
Our message in service had to do with peace to men on earth. Luke 2:1-14
After service we were going to breakfast & have our usual places but this morning for
some reason (only God knows, right) I blurted out "lets go to .............,"
which is out of our way.
Walking up to the restaurant there was a young man walking the side walk with his 2 - 4 month
son (during worship God showed me a path lit along the sides with the light of Christ), as I went
up the stairs I had a sense to turn around & ask if I could pray God's blessing into this baby.
The dad gladly allowed me to do so & said thanks as I was leaving he said something about finances &
I extended my hand & said yes- ok, that is the "more" God gives.
During our meal the Lord kept having me focus on our waitress, she seemed somewhat
frustrated or rushed. When we were just about to leave I called her over & asked if she was
feeling either of these, she said no & began to ask if she had done or said anything that would
have us not enjoy our meal, I reassured her that was not the case then I asked if I could bless her
with God's peace & I had a sense something was not quite right.
I reached out to touch her arm & she was flooded with tears & said "you just don't know,"
"you just don't know." I said your right I don't know but God does & preceded to bless her.
She said she was about to cry, thanked me, took a few steps, turned back & said "this means so much
to me, you gave me hope....you just don't know, thank you very much."
Wow, what a move of the Holy Spirit for the ones God has on His heart. This is what the "going out"
is about, this is the move of the Lord. I am getting to understand how its so much about God & His
hurting, lost children-- what an impact He makes when we step out & do what He has us called to do.
I thought the joy of blessing those that come to the healing room for prayer was awesome, this was
way too cool ! !!!
LUUUUUUUVING IT ! !! YEAAAAAAA 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!"
John 14:12 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father".
