Rock-The-Lot

Rock-The-Lot is an annual outreach the church I belong to does for the people in the surrounding neighborhood. We provide free food, games, Christian music, and fellowship in the parking lot of our church. The kids and families from the neighborhood have a great time.

This year, my home group was manning the prayer table. I was expecting great things and had asked Papa God to spiritually, ROCK-THE-LOT! I wanted to see more than just full stomachs.

On the way to the church I received a word of knowledge that a person with a first name starting with the letter “J” was who I needed to look for. At the event I asked a young man named Robbie if he had anything from Holy Spirit as to who needed prayer. He said, “right shoulder-blade.” I had two clues but didn’t know who that person was. No one had come to our prayer table yet so I figured I would look around at the people. I noticed a young man and he was highlighted by Holy Spirit to me. He had a white scull on his hat. Kind of creepy, but it reminded me of an old clue from a previous treasure hunt. I went for it.

His name was James and he had injured his right shoulder blade in a skate board accident. He could hardly move his right arm and was in a lot of pain. After asking me how I knew this stuff about him, he followed me over to the prayer table for a time of ministry.

What happened next rocked us all. I laid my hand on his shoulder, commanded the pain to leave and had him check it out. Within 30 seconds he was totally healed. I decided to go deeper. I had him hold his hands out in front of him and had him pray, “Holy Spirit reveal Jesus to me.” I didn’t touch him at first. I just held my hands over his. He started to feel the presence of Holy Spirit in his hands at first, then up his arms, and then into his whole body. I grabbed his hands so he wouldn’t fall down. What was cool was he was describing what was happening to him as it happened. He said it felt like he was floating in air, he felt so light.

I then led him to Jesus, the greatest of all healings! I prophesied to him that he was like a dry sponge that God was filling up with His presence and that living water was coming in him. The cool thing was about 15 minutes later Bob S., a man from my church, joined us and had the exact same prophetic word for this young man. That meant as much to me as James, as I knew I had heard the voice of God correctly. I was totally ROCKED as was James! After that, James said he had to sit down. “How do you guys do this?” he asked. Bob just happened to have a New Testament bible in his car and gave it to James.

God had set this whole encounter up and he let us partner in what He wanted to do. He had truly Rocked-The-Lot!

Salvador

Pasco has a 4^th of July parade every year. I thought that this year we should celebrate Independence Day with a treasure hunt. Four of us went to a park at the end of the parade route with our “Treasure Maps” filled out with clues (words of knowledge) Holy Spirit had given us. There was so many people in the park it can sometimes be hard to see the individual in the crowd.

Then I spotted a young man in his 20’s sitting on a picnic table away from the crowd. He was wearing a red top and black shorts, two of my clues. He appeared to be gang member. I tried to talk myself out of approaching him because of his tough appearance but I felt compelled to speak to him. The two clues just seemed to match him so well. I walked up to him, informed him of what I was doing, told him he was on my “Treasure Map”, and asked him to look at some of the other clues.

“Does the name Joshua mean anything to you?” I asked. He told me that his best friend was named Joshua and that he was in jail. He said I could pray for his friend, Joshua. Another of our other clues was eye problem. He showed me his swollen, painful eye. He had been stuck in the eye by the police while being arrested. He then told me his probation was revoked and he had to go to jail. “Can I pray for your eye?” I asked. He said go ahead. I held his hand and commanded the eye to be healed. Right before my eyes the swelling went down and all the pain left. Ear problem was also on our maps. He said that he had a painful ear and the pain went all the way down his neck. I had Janette who was with me lay her hand on Salvador’s ear and command the pain to leave. In about 30 seconds he was totally healed. It was the first time Janette had seen a miracle through her hands. Awesome!

I pressed in deeper! I asked Salvador to hold out his hands. I then held my hand about 3 inches above his and invited Holy Spirit to touch Salvador so that he could feel God’s presence. After about 30 seconds I asked him what was going on. Salvador said that someone was holding his hands. I said that it isn’t me, but it was Holy Spirit himself. He was now ready. He wanted this God that had healed him and touched him in such a powerful way. I then had the privilege of leading Salvador to the Lord Jesus for salvation. I told him that even if in jail he could be free on the inside.

Salvador was just one of three people touched that morning. The other members of the group ministered to two ladies resulting in another healing and a lady getting whacked by Papa God’s love.
