The Robert and The Dinero

On New Years day a few friends and I went walking along a bike trail that lined a rainwater channel. For some reason we all stopped and gathered at one spot overlooking the water. As we looked down, twenty-feet below us was an object shaped like a dollar bill. One of us from the group decided to go down at a safe place and retrieve whatever it was. It turned out to be $100 bill! We split it between the five of us and promised to put it to good use. We prayed and felt like the Lord said to give it to a man in a white-shirt and blue cap. After hours spent searching for this man we decided he wasn’t around here. We decided he must be somewhere else and at a different time.

The next day during worship at D’s house, the Lord clearly said to me that the money would go to, “Robert Dinero,” I thought, “The famous actor?” He clarified, “Give the Dinero to Robert.”

We left for Treasure Hunting at the Mall, and all of us tried to find the man that fit this specific description. We went into (store) for our last attempt to find Robert. As we walked in the store we found a man with his wife and older son pushing a cart toward us. This man had a white-shirt, blue hat, mustache and I felt the Lord highlight him right away. I immediately went up to him and asked, “Are you Robert?” Upon which he replied, “Yes, I am.” I showed him the clues that proved he was God’s treasure. Robert was shocked. I handed him the twenty-dollar bill and said “This money is for you.” He and his wife were amazed that someone would randomly call out their name, with a description of their appearance and give them money without hesitation. It wasn’t much, but we continued to bless them with prayer for greater provision. Robert told us that their family had been affected by the poor economy and he was struggling for consistent work.

D. felt the Holy Spirit come over her with His presence. She held the wife’s hand and prayed for God’s comfort and encouragement to come over the entire family. This was a testimony of God’s amazing love poured out to them.

To recap:
We found money, God told us give it to a man in the white-shirt and blue cap, his name would be Robert, he would have a mustache, and this man would be at the O. mall.

TALK ABOUT KNOWING ALL THINGS!! How amazing! He truly will do anything to show us that we are totally loved.

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!"
