We've started a new chapter in this great adventure in the kingdom of God. On Thursday nights, we meet with the Kennewick Healing Rooms staff. They meet at The Bridge Church, and pray for the sick and hurting. After prayer and a time of entering into the presence of Holy Spirit with the Healing Rooms staff, we have started "Treasure Hunting" on the streets of downtown Kennewick. There are many taverns, clubs, tattoo parlors, and small business in the old part of downtown Kennewick.
Tonight Roger and I went out. The first treasure we found fit the clues of “long blondish hair", "plaid top," "lamp post," and "relationship issue." As soon as we went out the front door of the church, Roger spotted her a half-block away and he knew she was on our treasure map. She and another woman were taking a smoke break outside one of the taverns not far from a lamp post. After sharing with her how much God loved her, she wanted prayer for some relationship issues with her boy friend and someone at her work place. It was a good start for the evening.
Next we walked by a small business that was closed for the day but still had people inside. Roger saw a couple he knew and they let us in to visit. There were two other guys there who were working on a motorcycle. One had a "light tan top" and his name started with a "T". I called him over and told him I believed he was on our Treasure Map. I asked him if he was having problems with his "left knee" and he said he had injured it about a year before. With that word of knowledge he opened up and told me about his life. His was a life of pain, prison, and brokenness. He was really trying to straighten up his life. He let me pray a prayer of healing for his knee. During that prayer I also felt led to pray for his finances which he later said was a really big issue for him at the present time. The presence of God was in that place. During the time I was praying with "T", Roger prayed for the other three people in the store. Awesome!
