Treasure Hunt Testimony 03.27.10

Our Father is so good, and I am convinced he is better then we could ever think or imagine! Our treasure hunt began Friday night in the mall food court. After the team had received different clues like ‘tattoo on the back’, ‘financial need’, ‘car accident’, ‘back pain’ and a few others we set off in search of God’s amazing treasure. Only ten seconds after leaving our table we noticed a women with a baby and stroller going into a card shop, she had a ‘tattoo on the back’. We approached her, introduced ourselves and explained the treasure hunt. We showed her our ‘tattoo on the back’ clue and explained that God had highlighted her and loved her. She seemed very encouraged. We also prayed for her son who had ‘bad vision’. We were about to part ways when Ashley noticed a little sign for a product that is suppose to help you with insomnia, it said INSOMNIA in big bold letters on it. I remembered Randi having ‘insomnia’ on her map so we asked if she struggled with insomnia, she replied, “Oh Ya! Ever since my car accident I can’t get any sleep!”  Randi then asked if she had any other pain in her body from the ‘car accident’, sure enough she had ‘back pain’, a bad ‘foot’ and a few other problems that were on our map, I think in total we had ten clues for this women! We knew God was about to do something amazing so we asked if we could pray for her healing. We began to pray and her pain began to leave! After praying the second time she told us her back pain and the pain in her foot had disappeared! Yeah Jesus! Randi then began to prophesy over her how she felt like God had left her but He had not left her but loved her deeply! It was amazing to see Jesus bring her deliverance after 2 years of constant pain, He is so good! She was deeply moved and encouraged to say the least!

We continued on through the mall and a young man immediately caught our eye. He was wearing a large black top hat, a spiked dog collar around his neck, handcuffs dangled from his pants and he carried a black cane with two big skulls on it. I ran up to him (I didn’t have a single clue for him, everyone is God’s treasure!) and explained that I was on a treasure hunt and he was God’s treasure and was loved by God. He smirked and held up his pentagram necklace to me and said, ‘sorry I worship the devil.’ To tell the truth I was a bit nervous, but it came to me that there was no way that Father would even a little intimidated by this, nothing can stop His love! So I replied, ‘Man that does not scare God and it doesn’t scare me, He loves you!’ He began to walk away and I said, ‘Wait, do you have any pain in your body? Your back or neck?’ He looked at me and told me he had a bad back, then suddenly his expression changed, ‘Hey what’s that warm spot on my back!’ Having heard that Holy Spirit can manifest in heat when healing someone, I told him that it was the presence of God healing him! I hadn’t prayed for him yet! I asked him to do something he could not do before like touch his toes. He moved around, bent over and with no pain! He was completely healed and was totally is shock! He told me he was in so much pain the day before and could hardly move so he went to the hospital! I began to again share the love of the Father with him and how Father is calling home and wants a relationship with him, I could tell the words were going to his heart. He asked me If I could do something for him, “Could you pray that I can quit smoking, I just cannot quit and I want to.” So I laid my hand on his shoulder and began to pray. After I finished he opened his eyes and said, ‘What was that? I have never seen anything like that before in my life!’ I asked him what happened, he replied, “I saw a blue and red light, what was that?!” I said, “I don’t know but God is encountering you big time and he wants you!” He asked me about Jesus and I explained how Jesus has made a way for us to come home into a relationship with our Father. Our meeting ended with him telling me that his parents were satanist but he was going home to tell them that it is no longer for him and he is giving his life to Jesus!!! Come on! How great is the love of our God, how amazing is He!

Meditate on and be filled with the amazing love of our Father and let it spill out of you onto those around you! You are loved!

For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son….
