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 He then told me his probation was revoked and he had to go to jail.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.
