“I have a keen sense of direction”

Aug 7, 2010

This Treasure Hunt was a little different in that we had a couple of 9 and10 year old boys that wanted to go with us.  There were 7 of us so we split into 2 teams.  Myself, Terry, and her grandson Colby were on one team. Colby is 10 years old. After prayer, each team sought Holy Spirit for direction and He gave us "clues" for our Treasure Maps. I wrote down the date and time that we completed our maps as I always do. It was 6:00 pm.  Remember that time, it's important.  Then our team was off to a park and them to Walmart as they were location clues that our 10 year old had received.

We had just walked into the entrance of Walmart when Colby yelled out, “There’s our treasure!"  Ahead of us about 30 feet was a couple, and the wife was wearing a purple top and blue shorts which were a couple of Colby's clues.  Terry and I had the color purple on our maps as well.  We followed them past the pharmacy and they split up, going down different isles.  I followed the husband and he came up the pet food isle past the fish food.  We had fish as a clue.  We were only 15 feet from the barbeque grills which were also on our maps.  We had 4 clues so far for this couple so Colby and I approached the husband.  He was in his early forties and had a long pony tail down to the center of his back.  I explained what we were doing and showed him our other "words of knowledge".  The one that sealed it for him was the clue of Navy.  He had recently retired from 20 years in the Navy.  Terry approached his wife and in a few minutes the whole bunch of us were having a prayer meeting. We had a total of 7 “words of knowledge” for this couple. Colby's clues had led us to the exact couple God wanted to touch.  There is no junior Holy Spirit and He will use kids just as well as adults.  What Colby remembered most was that a strange woman had given him a big hug and told him "Thank you."  He had listened to Holy Spirit and this couple had a supernatural encounter with God, next to the fish food, in Walmart.

Next we found a woman and her three kids in the grocery department.  We found them with the odd clue of a single claw drawn on my prophetic art section of my map.  A 15 year old boy named Michael was wearing a Ninja tee shirt on and the weapon on the shirt was a club with single claw on the business end of the club.  My drawing matched his shirt almost exactly.  He was also wearing blue shorts.  What was odd about this encounter was the time. The mom saw the time of 6:00 pm written on our maps, and she started weeping and getting real emotional.  It was at 6:00pm that she had a very strong impression to go to Walmart and go shopping.  She didn't know why but that strong feeling of "go to Walmart" wouldn't go away.  She put if off but finally gave in and gathered up her kids and went.  We found her at 7:20pm.  Awesome!  God spoke to her at the same time he was speaking to us! We had a number of other clues for them as well.

Michael, if you're reading this, remember the prayer you prayed:  He will prove Himself to you - if you seek Him.  Email me.

Our other team when to Home Depot and in no time at all was praying for one of the employees of the store.  The odd thing about him was that we had found his daughter, Stacy, two days earlier during our downtown Thursday night treasure hunt.  What are the odds of that?  While two of the team was ministering to him, the 9 year old, Roger, started telling the other team member, Gail that they needed to go to the garden center of the store because that was where their treasure was. She told him that the garden center was not on their maps and that they needed to follow their treasure maps.  He wouldn't hear off it.  They had to go to the garden center; their treasure was there.  She finally relented and so off they went.

They looked in the garden center and there was not a person there.  Roger insisted they go up every isle and make sure.  Gail told him that he was going to get them lost but Roger informed her that "I have a keen sense of direction" so the search was on.  Not one person was in the garden center so they started to leave and look for their other team members.  At the entrance of the garden center a family was coming in just as they were leaving.  Guess what?  That family matched most of the clues on their maps.  They had found God's hidden treasure and He used a 9 year old boy to lead the way.
