So this was my FB post the other day but I added a little more. READ IT!
Haha God….is a lil jokester! Ill share this…So Ive been continually praying for prophecy, obedience and vision through the Holy Spirit since I’ve left camp. And so far it has been SO good! I was just standing in the vestibule at work drinkin coffee and a vision popped in my head to pray WITH this boy. And I said no…God said "OBEY ME!" And I said…"ok, ok, jeez settle down".I nervously start walking out in obedience, (even though I don’t want to AT ALL), and as soon as I rounded the corner I noticed him walking into a back room with a nurse. I stopped and started laughing to myself. But it felt so incredibly good! And what I got from this was, God was just furthering my responsibilities. He wanted to see if I’d take it to the next step! He wanted to see if I would obey in an even more uncomfortable situation then normal. And I was going to. I stepped out and was gonna take that "risk", per say, although I don’t think of them as risks but more of a …movement? Statement<- for Christ's glory! Say what you will,and think what you want but this alone was so humbling to me and was another step for what HUGE things are to come! Amen.
BUT WAIT….Just after I posted these posts on FB I walked out again a couple minutes later to just talk with a co-worker, and I looked over and BAM, Kenny was sitting back down, and I felt like NOOO I don’t wanna (go talk to him)! But I once again OBEYed.
Mind you Kenny is an awesome kid. We were told by his mother he is 17 but has the brain of a 10 year old. But he was so nice. And this was one of the reasons I think God was telling me to talk to him, because I feel he may have had a lot of discouragement in his life. God made him for a freakin PURPOSE and I wanted him to KNOW it. I knew there was more but couldn’t see it but I knew I had to pray with him.
So I sat across from Kenny and started a conversation with him and one of the volunteers. We were just have a basic conversation and I looked at this picture of Taqumenon Falls for a couple seconds, and looked at him and said, “you ever been there?”. “No, I don’t know where that is.” I told him how beautiful of a place it was and he should go there some day, while I just kept starring at it with God SCREAAAMING at me to start makin my move. I kid you not, my adrenalin was running. I stood up and asked him, “hey can you come here for a minute, I have a question for you.” We went into the vestibule (I had nooo idea what I was doin fyi! I was freaking out!) and I just asked “do you believe in God?” He said no. “Have you ever believed in God?”, “No, my mom has her own religion”. ”Oh? And what is that?” “Witchcraft”. I asked him if he believed in that….and he said “no”. I wanted him to be comfortable, so I totally just let him know that’s fine, I’m just curious. He then started saying all this bad stuff that has happened in his life and everyone who has died. Then we talked and I asked him his moms name (who was in surgery), and he told me Tammy.
I asked Kenny If he’d let me pray for him. “If you don’t want me to its totally fine, I won’t be offended, and I don’t want you offended, so if you wanna walk away rite now, go ahead.” He told me its ok I can pray for him (praise GOD for that! That’s huge!). I said a simple prayer just letting him know God is a God of power, and our God is a God of vision and that he would speak to Kenny because I KNOW he speaks to me. He made Kenny as a man for a purpose, that God would fill Kenny up with freedom, hope, vision and peace. And let HIM know himself he is here for a purpose.
After that we just talked for a minute and he shook my hand and simply said thank you. That handshake was like Heavenly gold to me. I saw in him that our talking and praying sparked something.
I gave Kenny my phone # and told him to please call me anytime if he wants to hang out or talk.
Lord, I pray rite NOW, as I speak, that you are pouring into Kenny grace upon grace and revealing to him truths and visions about his life and where you want him to go God. O man God, thank you so much for that opportunity. I will FOREVER belong to you and I pray that I myself, will always seek your face, seek your will, seek your prophetic words, and that I may use them for your glory to bring Heaven to earth and grow your unimaginable KINGDOM! AMEN!
