Green Beer

Mar 17, 2011

Why all the cars? I just figured it out; St. Patrick’s Day. All the downtown Kennewick pubs must be serving green beer tonight. That’s why it so hard to find a parking place. On a normal Thursday night, we can park right next to The Bridge Church, home of Kennewick Healing Rooms, but not tonight.

Even though it’s cold out, I talked my wife Julie into a short “Treasure Hunt”. After a powerful time of prayer with the Healing Room staff, we got our clues (words of knowledge), filled out our treasure maps, and headed east down the sidewalk. Only a few people were outside but the bars looked full. We arrived at the Comedy Club at about the time a young man in his 20’s was just getting out of his car. He asked us if we knew if the club was open. It happened to be closed tonight. It turned out that he was a young comedian that wanted to try out for a job there. I noticed that he was wearing all blue clothing (one of our clues) so I told him he appeared to be on our treasure map and I asked him if he had back pain, which would be unusual in such a young man. He answered “yes” and it was at a level 5, on a scale of 1 to 10. His name also started with the letter M, another clue. With his permission, I twice laid my hands on his back and commanded the pain to leave and spoke to the muscles and nerves to be healed. He then started bending over, twisting from side to side, “to check it out”. All the pain had gone! Yes God!!!

What happened next was a first for me. I asked him to hold his hands out in front of him, palms up. I then held my hands about 3 inches over his and invited Holy Spirit to touch his hands in such a way that he could physically feel God’s presence. He felt something touch his hands and they started getting warm. He was getting rocked by God’s love in a physical way that he could actually feel. Then Julie and I got to share God’s love for him, prayed for job opportunities, and prophesied God’s destiny into his life. All three of us had a powerful God encounter on the sidewalk in front of the Comedy Club.

I know I was having a whole lot more fun than the people inside the pubs drinking their green beer. Christianity rocks!
