The Angel Phone Call - Leavenworth Part 2

The last stop just before we left for home was a meat market named "Cured, by Visconti" as Roger wanted to buy some meat. Teri and Roger went in while Julie and I sat on the bench outside. While there, Teri heard an employee call out to her manager "Brandon" just before he left the store.  Teri stopped him before he could go because she had his name, Brandon, on her treasure map.
This is the part that rocked us and I don't what to do with.  As Teri was explaining what we were doing, Treasure Hunting, Brandon asked where she was from.  She said she was from the Tri-Cities.  Then he asked, “Are you the one that called about bringing me a treasure map and being here to interview me?”  He said someone from the Tri-Cities called him and was going to come and interview him and leave him a treasure map, but they never showed up. The person called on Wednesday, and he didn’t remember a name so he thought it was us.

He turned out to be a Christian who, because of work, wasn’t going to church as much as he wanted to, and he had a bad back.  So Teri got to pray for his back and speak into his life about praying and sharing Jesus as he goes.  AND, we left him a treasure map just like the person on the phone said would happen.

We had no other clues to find him other than his name.  This was the last place we visited just a few minutes before heading for home.

The part I haven’t wrapped my mind’s around is this – who was it that called Brandon four days before we found him. Brandon didn’t even know anyone from the Tri-Cities. Who was it who called, an angel or ???

WHAT THE FREAK?!?!?!

I was invited to share some healing/treasure hunt stories with the college age home group from South Hills Church of Kennewick. There were about 10 young people and Val the group leader. Myself and a friend, Anna, shared how we got into treasure hunting (prophetic evangelism), and stories of what we have seen God do through us. After sharing many supernatural testimonies we were invited to pray for any sick or hurting in the group. One young man was suffering from chronic pain from fibromyalgia and bad disks in his back. His pain level was a “7”. I drafted one of the young ladies from the group who had never prayed for the sick before. I had her lay her hand on the young man’s neck and back, and had her command pain to leave in Jesus name. The pain level dropped to a “3”. After another prayer the pain left. Yeah God!

Some of the healing stories I shared with the group concerned pictures of body parts I printed out from the internet. These were mainly pictures sore backs, elbow, neck, and knees. I would then pray that the next person I gave the paper to would be healed of the condition shown on the paper. Sounds weird but I had seen four people healed in this manner. If it worked for the Apostle Paul it will work for any believer. The scripture basis for this is Acts 19:12. Remember this paragraph because what follows next is what happened the next day in a classroom with two of the young ladies who were in this home group. The following is from an email from Rachael:

“… so my friend Miranda has had a lot of neck pain the last few weeks or so. Today she was in so much pain in the middle of class that she was about in tears. She told Nikole and I about it and Nikole goes "Man, where's Dave with those pictures when you need him?"

And I realized that we don't need to print them off. So I grabbed a piece of paper, wrote "NECK PAIN" on it then started quietly praying over it; that God would heal the next person who has neck pain and touches it. Then I gave it to Nikole and told her to pray.

She thought it was really funny and didn't want to at first, but I got her to. She prayed and I told her to give it to Miranda. She was like "NO NO WE"RE IN CLASS WE CAN"T" and she told me to give it to her. SO I snatched it away and passed it to Miranda WITHOUT telling her what it was for. She was super confused, but I told her to put it on her neck and she did. Then I told her to move her neck around and she did. She stopped and looked confused then moved it again and again.

Then in the middle of our class she just about yells, "WHAT THE FREAK?!?!?!" Nikole and I just start laughing so hard that we had tears running down our faces. She's sitting there messing with her neck freaking out, Nikole and I are laughing uncontrollably, and the teacher has pretty much given up on us and was just trying to pretend that our side of the class room didn't exist anymore... it was the best. Her neck is not nearly as bad as it was if it even hurts at all..... BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!

Leslie's story....

Belonging to God

A little testimony from last night: A small group of us from the Kennewick Healing Rooms were in downtown Kennewick giving out cold water to those on the street passing by (it was hot). I asked a young man (Dominic) passing by if he had a problem with his shoulder or back. He said his shoulder had been messed up for years and it was at a pain level of "10". He let me lay my hands on his shoulder and in about 15 sec all the pain left and he was totally healed. Then I got to tell him about the love that God has for him. It was a short but powerful encounter on the sidewalk. Then his friend walks up and Dominic starts telling his friend that his shoulder is healed. God rocks!

Interesting, but the name, Dominic, means "belonging to God".

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.
