A Home Run Was Hit

Wow!!!

Last night was incredible. After the last two outings, I was honestly discouraged. We were having a pretty hard time connecting and prophecying over people. Well... I was. Everyone else was having a great time. Last night more then made up for it.

I hit the beer gardens.

It seems that most of the 17,000 who come out to the Corn Fest go straight to the beer gardens. There was such a freedom there and one person on our team was having to fight for control because the Holy Spirit came so strong was we prayed for one lady. There was such an open heaven over her and as we prayed and prophecied into her life she was arrested by the Spirit of God. Wow!! The words we said over her were very accurate and created the perfect open door to pray for her and ask the Holy Spirit to really minister to her heart.

After we felt like we were done with those two ladies I jokingly told them that if they knew anyone else who would like this to find us and we'll pray for them too! I didn't know what that would open up for us...

So we walked over to another group of hippie looking young people and asked if we could do a "free spiritual reading" (non-Christian lingo for prophecy) or if we could interpret a dream they had. They were totally into it. I interpreted one guys dream and again the words that I felt the Lord wanting to share with this guy were very accurate and he was just laughing and laughing. It's amazing the open door you get to bring in Jesus and real prayer after something like that. They were hungry for the real stuff. So off we went and prayed boldly for this guy.

Halfway through the prayer up come the first two ladies with a fresh batch. They had brought their daughters and said, "Here! Do your thing on them too!" I prophecied over one daughter and she was really surprised at the accuracy... funny... being surprised when you find out God actually does know things about you and cares about you. Again we were able to pray.

The other teams all had very awesome experiences as well. One team had a picture of a sun-flower so they kept that in mind as they walked the fair-grounds. They found a food booth and noticed that the table beside the food booth had sunflowers on the table-cloth. They went for it and walked up to the workers and said, "We were praying that God would use us to speak to some people and we believe that God showed us sunflowers. We noticed the sunflowers on your table cloth, so may we pray for you?"

The response was the ladies burst into tears. Turns out they were both Christians and one of the ladies got a phone call from her husband saying that he had decided to divorce her. They were able to get ministered to deeply as that team followed the leading of the Lord for a devine set-up.

Hmmm... what else... I talked for a long time with a very goth girl. She was hardcore, actual goth, not just an attention grabber. I got some words that were very accurate and even surprised me. It was funny because other people had already talked to her but she was very hostile to them. But we talked for a good 45 minutes. Most of the other teams noticed that, so while we were talking she was the focus of serious intercession and prayer from many, many people for those 45 minutes. I thought to myself about how awesome "team" is because of that. I could chat with her, while others, knowing their position and mission heaved huge prayers for her to God.

So cool.

Tonight I get to teach the children how to hear from God! I have never done that before, so it should be interesting to see... although I don't think I have much to teach these kids. They are already having visions and following the leading of the Lord with astounding maturity. Two little children prayed for me during worship this morning at church. They just walked up, not having anyone tell them what to do, laid hands on me, prayed in tongues for a while and then prayed amazing prayers over me for a long time. They were 7 and 9 years old!! I felt so honored and so blessed and SO REFRESHED after they prayed for me. Wow!! So we'll see what happens tonight.

I am so looking forward to this next couple of weeks. I finally get to see Andy again and I am travelling to Toronto to hang out with my brother and sister-in-law, plus to add onto that I get to hang out with Dennis Wiedrick and Bob Jones and do some ministry with them... and get seriously ministered to!
