Daily Exploits April 15, 2010

1. Bought lunch for a poor beggar, who God told me was a king in his eyes. That totally changed my view
of the poor and beggars. They are highly valued in Gods eyes and we should show them maximum respect and treat them as friends or even family. Sheep and goats. Poor always with you, which means continual
opportunities to minister his love and grace. Blessed are the poor. Don't treat poor with partiality, James.

2. Went to the post office to cash a cheque. While getting there I
noticed an elderly woman walking by who had a swollen ankle. I decided
I would approach her and offer to pray for her healing. When I did
that I discovered that she was a member of my church after which we
went into a friendly chat and healing was forgotten.

3. while at the post office doing some business the postal worker who
was attending to me remarked that we shared the same birthday. I then
proceeded to tell her a little about her personality through the gift
of prophecy. But I'm not sure it was well received as she did not say
a word to me after that. Reminded me a bit of my last prophetic
encounter. Nevertheless we will continue.

4. Saw Nancy, an old friend who had a beef with me which we aired and resolved
amicably. Praise the Lord. I was able to bless her with some cash,
which totally astonished her and left her jaw hanging open permanently
and I was able to speak to, minister to her and prophesy blessings and
good things over her.

Talk about open doors, open hearts and open heavens.

Plus I was able to do errands for mom and pick up some stuff for me
too. Fasting favour and fulfilling his word just works.

Last / Lost Chance

As I was on my way to church the taximan when he realized that I was going to church asked me to pray for him.

It is harvest time and the fish are jumping in the boat.

When he picked me up on the road , the taxi driver commented that he came just at the right time.

I felt the holy spirit compel me to say to him, that I prayed that God would have given me a ride to get to church on time and that you are the answer to my prayer. That would have opened a conversation about God and would have led to me possibly witnessing, testifying about God and sowing a seed in this young mans life if not leading him to Christ. I know it would have happened like that.

Instead of following the leading of the Holy Spirit, I got gun shy and fearful of witnessing about God.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation for every man. Romans 1:16

My entire life and experience was setup to prove the opposite of this verse. Now I have to live and walk out this truth and renounce the lies I have believed because of my past.

You live and you learn and now it is forward movements.

As ye go... April 2, 2010

So I go to church for good Friday and on my way home, I decide to stop at BK for breakfast. I just had a craving for a croissanwich, eggs , cheese hash browns and some bacon.

So I go to BK and sat down ate, , meditated on the word a bit.

Then as I am waiting for the restroom. I se a young lady behind me and she has a cd, with the title elijah. I said hmm that seems interesting. Like the burning bush did to moses it awakened my curiousity.

The person i the bathroom was real polished and full of good manners. I approached him and asked him about the cd. He said that he was a christian gospel artiste and that his real name was Elijah.

the Lord laid him on my heart and as I was going back to my seat, He poured into me a word for the young man. It was a word of encourgement and HE was so blessed by hat God said to him.

It was just too easy. It was just natural and it just flowed.

You dont have to go out of your way to minister. You dont have to go halfway around the world to be a missionary. Look all around you. Everywhere you go is a mission field. The fields are ripe. All you have to do is reap.

Adventures with God

So Its Friday night. I'm at home from work. No one else is here and the internet and other distractions feel so boring. Hmmm... What do I do now? I feel the Lord telling me to go to a youth service at a particular church I used to attend as a teenager. I said , Lets go and head on out. I got lost a bit but saw an old school friend , who coincidentally was going the same way so we traveled together.

It was a great service, they played games etc and I really felt welcome there etc. But I dont think thats why I came there.

During the service The Lord gave me a word of knowledge for a young man there who had pain in his left knee and had injured it in a sports incident.

I approached him after the service, he confirmed what the Lord tld me. He allowed me to pray for him. However he said It pains him at times and not now. So I couldn't really test it. But I'm declaring it healed. All Glory to God.

Isn't he amazing?

Passing By

I was on the bus on my way from work, yesterday.

I saw an old church buddy and we started talking. While on our way a lady entered the bus. The Lord highlighted her to me and I was especially drawn to her legs. I knew that she had an issue with one of her legs.
So after she sat down beside me, I broke off the conversation with my friend and started talking to her.

After a little small talk I asked her if she had any pain or anything wrong in her legs, knees, ankles etc.

She said no, but after a little prodding she mentioned that her heels hurt her in the morning after she wakes up.
I asked her If I could pray for her and then proceeded to pray, really command the pain to go etc. I encouraged her and blessed her.

I had wanted to follow-up on her and see how things went this morning but her number got lost in my phone. But I will leave the results with God and know that she has been impacted and healed. All Glory to God.

Today's as ye Go

Today was a very challenging day spiritually/ emotionally.

I was being attacked in my emotions and in my spirit and was practically immobilized and not a happy camper.

I went on a walk during lunch today and someone gave me a tale of woe , which I knew God could reach into and solve in a minute, but i was so overwhelmed with my own stuff plus lies and doubts that I was unable to minister to him. So we both walked away defeated. Bummer.

So it wasnt a good day at work, but that's not how the day ended. There was more.

So I went to a restaurant and while I was dining a gentleman walked by but He was walking differently. This was not a word of knowledge but mere observation(i think). I believe that I could see something different in his walk that would indicate a problem. Maybe it was a word of knowledge I don't know. Anyways I ran after him, tracked him down and started talking to him.

He told me that he was not in pain but that one leg was shorter than the other as a result of a childhood motor vehicle accident. My whole intention was to minister to him especially if he was in pain etc and command the leg to grow out and stuff. But it wasn't an issue for him, didn't bother him and he was happy with how it was currently. So he wasn't taking my bait. So the tactics had to change.

He asked me why i was asking,if i was a doctor or wanted to sell some cure/ product I kinda sidestepped the issue. I should have told him that God loves Him and brought his leg to my attention and If he wanted, I believed God could heal him. But I got afraid as He was a Jehovah's Witness and I didn't want a long drawn out debate on the supernatural.

Guess what happened next?

Even tho I never said it, We did have a lengthy discussion about miracles and the kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit.

LOL.

Who says God has no sense of humor. So I got it anyways and it wasn't bad. So no more fear anymore. no more fear of man. Just total boldness.

While waiting on a bus, a deaf mute came begging. I gave him an offering and told him i wanted to pray for him but he just walked away. Next time I'll just lay on hands anyway. LOL.

Fill and Spill on the Streets

I have been doing a bit of reading, thinking and action on the principle of prophetic evangelism really.

I did the 21 day treasure hunt last month, of which I'll post the testimonies here at a later date.

I've taken on another assignment, that of a 30 day challenge of being a facebook evangelist.

I did one week of it and stopped for a week, I will continue for the month and post my results as well.

I re-read Power evangelism by John Wimber and read Prophetic Fishing by Jean Krisle Blasi.

These experiences along with those experienced on a recent missions trip have inspired me to see God move and use me on a daily basis to advance his Kingdom in a variety of ways.

Its not limited to just the prophetic and healing, but includes mercy ministry, one to one evangelism, contending for the gospel, apologetics etc. Whatever God needs me to be or do at that time, I will do it.

Its absolutely amazing seeing God step into everyday life and transforming the lives of others.

Like Todd White said, Christianity is a full contact Sport, Get in the game!!
