Art Walk in downtown Kennewick is starting to taper off for the winter. Not as many businesses were open to display an artist’s work nor are there as many people here to view the art. However, there is no lack of God's presence. If God's people show up, He shows up. Tonight, Roger and I were the bookmobile (Treasure Hunters) while Julie stayed in the library (Healing Rooms) and an awesome time was had by all.
After a short time of prayer, Roger and I wrote down the clues (words of knowledge) that Holy Spirit gave us, took a left turn out the front door of The Bridge Church and took a stroll in downtown Kennewick.
A half block to the west, were two guys taking a smoke break outside of a pub. One of these guys matched Roger's clues of blue and black. He was wearing a black top with blue jeans. Two other clues were storefront lights and the name David. Right above where these two guys were standing on the overhead storefront lights was the name David. What are the odds of that? He also suffered from lower back pain, another of Roger's clues. This guy’s back pain ran all the way to his foot via the sciatic nerve. He said his foot felt hot because of the nerve in his back. We laid our hands on his shoulders and commanded his back to be healed. We asked him so move around to check out his back. He said that his foot was now feeling cool not hot. The Great Physician was doing something in his back. Then he opened up and asked for prayer for a job. We prayed and got to share to the good news of the kingdom with him for another 10 minutes or so, then he headed into the pub. The seed of God's kingdom had been planted.
Earlier, Roger had dropped his iPhone and it had stopped working. Across the street from the pub is a cell phone repair shop and Roger knew one of the guys who works there. The store happened to be open tonight so we went in and he took a look at Roger's phone. In about two minutes the iPhone’s loose antenna was fixed. While repairing Roger’s phone, he told us that he had a doctor’s appointment the next day. He was going in to have some tests done to find the cause of pain he was suffering in his abdomen. Before we left we asked if we could pray for him and he said, “yes”. We laid hands on his stomach area and invited Holy Spirit to touch him and commanded the cause of the pain to leave. We had him check it out to see what God was up to. He felt around in the painful area and discovered that the pain was gone! He also told us that the lump where the pain was located was gone. God had done it again! This guy was not even on our treasure map.
Heading back down the street we stopped into the church to see how my wife Julie and the healing room’s people were doing before heading out again. Just as we were heading back out, I glanced in and saw her looking at the paintings on display. She was a young lady wearing a plaid top, one of my clues. I motioned for Roger come back in as I approached the young lady and her friend. I told her, "I've been looking for you for an hour!" She had a puzzled look on her face until I explained what we were up to, treasure hunting. She was from The Bridge Church in Richland and had heard of treasure hunting. Her friend had not. That's when Roger noticed that the girl in the plaid top had red hair; another one of my clues. Her name was Ashley and her friends name was Logan. I had of two name clues that started with the letters L and A. Another one of my clues was joint pain. I asked them if either of them joint pain, like maybe in an elbow. Logan said that was her. She had a bad pain in her left elbow, right in the joint. Julie joined us in prayer for the two young ladies and guess what happened? After praying twice for Logan, all the pain left her elbow. God had done it again! Yeah God! We then prayed and prophesied for Ashley and God touched her mightily. Wow!
If you're a Christian and don't see this stuff once in a while, get out of your church building, take some risks, and watch what God will do. Talk about fun!
