This afternoon, I went to Christian Campus Center to eat lunch and share the gospel again with about 7 team members. Personally, I was able to pray and go through the Bible and wrist bands with 7 individuals. One gentleman that needed transportation, a talented student that needed encouraged about her artistic gifting, two friends who wanted to practice sharing the gospel themselves, one Christian with the desire to pass it on himself, and a couple who pastors their own church and needed life spoken over them! The team is praying fruit will result from all of our encounters and these individuals will want to come taste and see what reviveTX is all about!
Power of Prayer
Today was pretty special because I had two women ask me for prayer. One had heart flutters and the other wanted to experience more of Him! A gentleman said she usually is the one who prays for others, so what a privilege and honor to be able to minister to her in the same way she usually ministers to others! Love putting James 5:16 into action!
Week One reviveTX
Call to Action!
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:14-15
You are not in the battle until your shoes are on! Where are your shoes?
Signs and Wonders
This morning on our way to Dallas the clouds were moving quickly, but we saw a sliver of the moon peak through the clouds. Ms. Mary Frances said it was the harvest moon. I thought it was so cool, being that we knew the harvest in DFW is ripe and ready! I tried on numerous occasions to get a picture, but the moon blurred and looked full. The Lord revealed to me we only see a glimpse of what He’s doing, but He sees the entire picture! How exciting! It truly was an awesome day, we saw signs and wonders! People were healed and received the free gift of salvation! What a mighty God we serve!
Heart Beat!
Tonight, this young man asked me if I had heart problems. I told him I have been having problems with it fluttering. Several people prayed for my healing and I smelled Jesus’s sweet fragrance.
Then, as we were worshipping, my heart began beating in time with the music. The Lord was giving me a new beat/rhythm and aligning my heart to His! Oh how I love Him! Praising God for healing my heart tonight!
Psalm 27:14
My team prayed once we got into the vehicle. I felt the Lord was telling me to slow down and don’t rush. If I did, I would miss out on being a part of His work!
I asked our driver if she would take us somewhere to get a cup of coffee. We ended up at McDonalds. The manager agreed to let us pray over him after his shift was over. He also said it would be fine to pray for anyone in the restaurant.
As we waited for the manager to get off work, we prayed for Timothy. He had special needs, but had held down a job at that location for 13 years! He blessed our socks off! He serenaded me and radiated with the joy of the Lord!
None of the other customers would allow us to pray…and we were discouraged about that and the fact the manager was later than he thought he would be. However, we waited anyway. We prayed for him and shared our desire to have access to pray in the other 5 McDonalds in their chain. He said he would talk to the other managers about this and ask his pastor about his joining our efforts! I think it is awesome because if we were impatient, we would have missed all of these possible open doors!
reviveDALLAS
This was the first morning I actually went out in Dallas! Wow, wow, wow! Our first stop was a gas station. The owner allowed us to pray for him and his staff. He was encouraged and uplifted! We left him excited about what was taking place with reviveTX!
Next, we stopped to ask a gentleman for directions to the homeless community. We ended up praying for him. Dennis shared a word He received from the Lord. He encouraged the gentleman to anoint the corners of his neighborhood with oil and prayer walk around it. Pam shared she had a vision of the people who were now ridiculing him were going to be the very ones who would begin coming to him for counsel in the near future. How awesome is God?
We found the homeless community. For several blocks we saw nothing but people walking the streets, pushing grocery carts with their belongings, pulling suit cases, or sitting on the back of cars/homes that contained everything they owned. We prayed with a group of about ten and ended up buying them a hot meal from the closest restaurant. It hurt my heart to see their living conditions, but it was encouraging because they were believers and knew God had them right in the palm of His hand!
Person of Peace
We met Eli; our region’s person of peace, for lunch. He shared a vision the Lord gave him about revival starting in Denton. He explained 35 goes through Denton and it stretches from Mexico to Canada. He said Denton is shaped like a bowl and it sets low in the ground; you have to go up in order to leave. Eli saw the highways turn into rivers once the bowl (Denton) overflowed with water! As he was talking, I realized the vision of the water I saw while I was praying for Mindi on Sunday was the bowl (Denton) being filled before it overflows! I saw a circular body of water with a light shining down the middle of it. When I originally saw the vision, Mindi shared revival has been described as having a ripple effect. Well, Denton is already begun to fill up with heavenly rain and will gush forth throughout the nations!Continue reading “Person of Peace”
Acts 1:8
Emily and I both felt led to pray with first responders this morning. Jerry, the driver on our team stated his son is second in command at the Fire Department in Denton! Talk about an open door! Col. 4:2-3 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.”
We prayed with an entire shift at Central and were encouraged to go to the other 7 stations! I was excited because the Holy Spirit filled me as I shared the gospel and I was not nervous in the least! We also went to station #2 and they showed us around their new facility. I loved the fact that they had a rescue boat for natural disasters…the vision Cheryl had seen just yesterday morning! I stand amazed!
