Destiny Words At The Mall This Week

Good Morning Saint!   I have had the best time at the mall this week, giving out Destiny Words and Spiritual Readings.  It was great encouraging and affirming people.

The Mall was very quiet when I first arrived on Thursday night so I walked around the hallway I was claiming for God and declared it was a Heaven invades Earth zone.

I then sat down and prayed in tongues and asked the Lord what was next. I had a pad of paper handy so that I could keep track of all the people I spoke over.

I want to tell you that as I sat there and asked the Lord, "What do you want to tell this person?" He answered me  in many diverse ways.

I got words for the teenagers at the Mustang car in the mall about their future careers.  I gave out Million Dollar Bill's with the gospel message on the back. I even got words for some of the employees at the mall about their family situations.

One young man that was hanging around the car the Lord told me to go tell him not to quit school, even though it might look like an option.

One older gentleman sat down on the bench close to me and I got the word 'regret' so I walked up to him and told him that I could see regret over him and that the Lord said it wasn't too late to change things... especially with his children.

I had some people ask me about how I could do this, so I was able to take them through the bible and talk about hearing God's voice.  A couple of people thanked me for giving of my time and coming to the mall to help people.

It was awesome!  I was all by myself for most of the night then a friend and her mother came by to visit. What  a blessing! I got a word of encouragement for her mom and we encouraged ourselves in the Lord.

Last night I was so busy that I didn't get a chance to write down all the words I gave.
I even found out that a Baptist church is praying for me!  How great is that!  The unity in this town is astounding me.  I really think we are ready for a major revival.

I noticed that a lady that was praying for me last night came under some pretty heavy attack so I was praying for her when I became aware of it.  "Lord bless and help all those that have prayed for me and this table.  Confound every plan of the enemy  in Jesus name!  I speak strength and health to every area of their lives and I declare that though the enemy tries to attack one way, he's got to flee seven ways! (ref. Deut. 28:7)  Amen!

The Lord told me that I wouldn't always be alone at the mall.  How great is that?   I think that once people realize how much fun it is, they will want to come do it too.

I bless you in Jesus' name!  May you discover the treasure that He's placed in side of you and give it away to others. Amen!
Big hugs,

Table At The Mall

Well that's it.  A psychic set up her table at the mall and something has to be done about it.  This is God's town and  I can't stand idly by.

I got permission to set up a table for free once upon a time when I went and gave words of knowledge and prophesies to whoever wanted them. See  www.greatcommissionhow2s.blogspot.com/2010/07/physchic-fair-came-to-town-written-in.html  for a post about that weekend.

This time I am a little more experienced and hopefully a little more organized!  I was able to secure a table for free.  One church was glad to loan me a rectangular table cloth to cover it.  A friend from another church gave me some ideas on how to decorate the table.  A fellow at the mall printed off some high quality 8.5 x 11 posters to place in stands on the table.

I put some big poster sized signs on either end of the table advertising "Free Spiritual Readings, Thursday and Friday evening and Saturday"

My girlfriend who works at the mall will keep an eye on our table since I can't man it full time.

I just want to give people an opportunity to save their money.  I have seen people spend anywhere from $40- $100 plus for a detailed reading.   Most of these people don't realize that you can get a prophetic word from some of the charismatic churches for free.

It's time for the Kingdom of God to advance.  It's time to get the good news out, that we serve a Living God who's available all the time!   It makes me sick thinking that these people are going to hear from the other side when the Living God is all around us and in those that have made Jesus their Savior and Lord.

I have put the word out to all my prophetic friends and those who do prayer ministry to come out and be a part of this.  I am very excited.   The Lord has never disappointed me.

I would love to have our Sunday school class out on one of these days, just to practice.  Wouldn't that turn some heads to see 11 year olds giving words of knowledge and prophesy to strangers.  Lord make a way!

I bless you in Jesus' name.  May you have courage to step out of your comfort zone and make a difference for God's Kingdom today. Amen!
Big hugs,

Sunday School Yesterday & How to Start Prophesying

Sunday school went really well yesterday.  We had a fairly short class and since the girls have been going over the basis of prophesy I thought we would focus on how to get ready to give a word.

First we praise and worship and stay thankful because that's how we draw the manifest presence of God around us.  Also, He inhabits or is enthroned in the praises of His people (ref Ps. 100:4, 22:3)

Second,  we pleaded the blood of Jesus over us and asked the Lord to show us if there was any sin that would hinder us from hearing His voice (ref. Is. 59:2).

Third, we checked to make sure our motives were right. We want to bless and encourage people.

Fourth, we asked the Lord to "shed His love abroad in our hearts".  (Rom. 5:5)

Fifth, we asked the Lord to give us a word to encourage someone and asked Holy Spirit to confirm the word to them when we shared it.

Then I went on say that when we are in public places, we can ask the Lord to highlight someone to us. Sometimes, my eyes will be drawn to a person over and over again.  Other times I will see a person and immediately a word pops into my head. Sometimes, I will look at someone and  get a feeling of hurt, anxiety, or pain and I know God wants me to go talk to them.

These are just some of the ways God will highlight a person that He wants you to share with.  So keep asking clarifying questions and don't  let fear grip you.  The Bible says that the righteous are as bold as a lion.  "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind." (ref. Prov. 28:1, 2Tim. 1:7)

When you go up to a person  always ask their permission to share the word you got from the Lord with them.  I have only been refused once in many years and I think that was because they were in a hurry and thought I was going to take too long.

When speaking to the person leave out all the Christian jargon that they might not understand.

If they are broken up because of the word you gave, ask the Lord what to do next.  Sometimes, I have been allowed to pray for people right in the grocery store!  If they do not want prayer that is perfectly all right. You have planted some supernatural seed into their lives. I always carry million dollar bills that I give out before I leave.  They have the gospel message on the back and when they are ready I know Holy Spirit will use the words on the tract.

We then practiced giving words of prophesy.  The Bible says to prophesy in proportion to your faith (Rom 12:6) so  we picked a man we didn't know and asked the Lord for one word each for him.

After praying for a minute each of the girls got a different word for him.  I wrote down what they said in point form and asked the Lord and them if they wanted to elaborate.  It was really good stuff.

I was so blessed to see the willingness of these girls that I asked them if we could do one more person.  There had been a man at the front of the church that I felt to go hug at the beginning of service and I didn't because of protocol.  (See how easily fear can shut you down?)  Anyhow,  I wanted to somehow make it up to him so the girls and I prayed and we got some neat words.

One of the girls got the word 'coffee' and I thought, "Coffee what?"  Immediately I heard that the Lord likes having coffee with him.   So I put that together with the other words and the girls were able to add more thoughts to the words they got.  It was awesome.

We gave the prophesies to the resepective men  and  I found out that the 'coffee' man said that the word was bang on for him.  Isn't God amazing?   You should see how excited these young girls are to teach the Sunday service how to prophesy!  That's going to be an interesting service.

Let me pray for you now:  "Lord I ask that You would help this precious person to share  Your words of encouragement and love with others.  Give them lots of words to share and the boldness and compassion to do it well.  We give you all the glory for what You have already started to do in them. Amen!

P.S.  Make sure you write down all your exploits in your notebook.  Then you can ask the Lord questions about each prophetic encounter later on.  There are always ways we can improve. Also, you will have lots of encouragement to get you excited to go out again.

No Time To Argue

I quoted Joshua Mills on my Face Book page and I looked today and a Christian decided to argue with me.

Sigh... I don't have time to argue!  I'm too busy listening to teaching on my ipod or doing the stuff, whether it be handing out a tract, putting tracts on car windshields, praying for sick people at work and at the grocery store, or speaking an encouraging word to someone on the street.

I wish people would get off their band wagons about correctness and just do the kingdom stuff.  There's precious little time!  I do not want to get involved in a argument about semantics because there are people dying out there without Jesus and I know that it takes about eight witnesses for someone to get saved.

The quote was, "God only has as much control as you will give Him." --Joshua Mills and Joshua was talking about letting God be Lord (boss) in our lives. 

This guy responded, ‎"God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WILL."  This is also true but only after we are obedient.   It goes back to my point. God only has as much control as you will give Him.
It's all about surrendering our will, ie. "Your will be done, Your kingdom come, not mine.

So that's my rant today.

On a good note, I was walking  across the Metro parking lot today to get a few groceries and I had some tracts in my hand that I was distributing.  A fellow had some pizzas and stuff on the trunk of a car while he was talking to another man.  I put a million dollar bill tract on his pizzas as I walked by and said, "Here's a good laugh."   He picked it up and started reading it.  Praise the Lord!

And you know, God will use it to minister to him.  He might have a Mom, girlfriend or co-worker  that has been praying for him to get saved.

So if you see me singing away as I am in the store, you'll know why.  I helped my King with some of the things that matter to Him and there's no joy like His.

 Let me pray for you now.   I Bless you today.  Lord you know what's going on in my friend's heart better than I do.  Help them to fulfill the call You have on their lives.  Give them that revelation that will put them in Your perfect will. Amen.

A Physchic Fair Came to Town (written in 2000)

About a month ago a psychic fair came to town to the one mall we have. This really bothered me because this is one of my ministry grounds and I'm claiming souls for the kingdom there every time I go there. The fair started on Thursday and I didn't go to the mall that day but I was praying as I drove by. Thursday night the Holy Spirit started talking to me and the conviction that I had to do something about this situation became stronger and stronger.

Friday morning when I woke up I said "OK, I'll go but what can one person do?" The Lord told me to just go. So I did. But first I got my husbands approval then I called my prayer partner for some spiritual back up and I called the church to see if we had any tracks that I could hand out. I then put on a tee shirt with a Christian message, grabbed my bible and drove to the mall. I still didn't have a clue what I was going to do when I got there.

I got to the mall and asked the Lord "Okay, what next?" He just sort of nudged me to walk around the booth where the psychics were and to pray. This was ok for about fifteen minutes then the man there confronted me and asked me what I was doing. I told him "I'm praying for you and all the people here."

He left me alone for a little while then came back and told me he wanted me to leave. I asked "Why?" and he evaded the question. I had the witness in my heart that my spiritual warfare (2Cor.10:4-5) had been successful and he was frustrated. So I just kept walking around, praying and singing. As people left the booth I gave them tracks about salvation and hearing from God all the while praying that He would multiply the seed I had sown.

About 15 minutes later mall security came by and started threatening me that if I didn't leave they would call the police and have me put in jail. I asked "What for?" and they said that I was not allowed to distribute tracks with out the manager's permission. I asked if I could talk to the manager and they said he was out but that he would be back at two and talk to him then. I replied "Ok, I'll talk to him then."

I bought a drink and kept praying in English and in tongues as I walked around that booth. I was able to bind the spirit of divination operating in the man, that's why he got so upset. He was having a hard time reading his tarot cards. The lady was a different story. She had opened herself up to sorcery for such a long time that every time I bound the evil spirit in her another one would take it's place. I asked the Lord what was going on and He said she was like a channel for evil spirits. The prayer I got for her was ‘to confound her'. So I walked around asking the Lord to 'confound' her wondering, "What does confound mean?" (God has a real sense of humor). Anyhow, it worked. I found out later from someone I witnessed to that she was unable to do any detailed readings that weekend. (Confound means to bewilder or confuse, to perplex or mix up and it's actually in my KJV bible, Micah 3:7)

Because I was unable to stop people from making appointments to see the psychics I asked the Lord to take control of the readings so that the enemy could not influence these people. I know what it's like to be deceived so I just kept crying out to the Lord to have mercy on these people and to save them. Praise the Lord, He always hears our heart's cry.

I left for a while to get my kids because I figured if my teenager was shopping I had a perfectly legitimate reason to be in the mall. I also called another intercessor to get some more prayer support. When I got back to the mall my pastor happened by and was able to give me some words of wisdom to think about before I talked to mall management. Isn't God good? I was really encouraged to see how God looked after things. I was prepared to go to jail but I was hoping I wouldn't have too.

I was able to witness to five people that day and I handed out around twenty or more tracks. I just kept asking the Lord to multiply the seed sown. There were countless others ministered to as I sang and walked. The Lord kept bringing back various older songs and hymns to sing and I saw some people with tears in their eyes as I sang "Amazing Grace".

Mall management caught up with me again and I was able to ask them if I could rent a table the next year when the psychic fair was on again. The answer was a very encouraging yes, for free! and we shared about the Lord and His love for people. There was no mention made of the threat to call in the police at all!

I worked Friday night all night at my regular job and then I grabbed a few hours of sleep and headed back to the mall on Saturday. On my way there I was really attacked about how useless I would be and how little I would be able to do. My loud response was "It's not my problem. It's my job to be obedient to the Lord so get behind me satan!" Thankfully, that shut up All the what ‘if's' and ‘buts' in my head.

That day the Lord told me to sit down on the park bench close to the psychic booth and wait. So I did and He arranged for me to talk to numerous people. The Lord gave me words of encouragement, words of knowledge and words of wisdom for all of those precious people. He is so faithful. I was reminded of the scripture where the Lord says not to worry about what you are going to say because He'll give you the words to speak. (Matt. 10:19-20) He sure did!

People today are crying out for answers and one lady in particular was so stunned when I showed her my marked up bible and said "This is a record of God talking to me. Every highlight, every note is something He showed me or taught me. You too can have a bible like this one if you'll ask Jesus to be Lord of your life."

Another young lady shared how much it was going to cost her around $50.00 to see the psychic and I was able to share with her how much God loved her and how He longed to talk with her- for free. She didn't think God cared. I was able to share with her scripture verses to correct her thinking, plant the seeds of salvation and leave her a tract with our church number on it.

One man was all excited to go see the psychic because he had been waiting quite a while for one to come to town. I am so glad that Jesus is always available. Our God neither ‘slumbers nor sleeps' and "He hears the desire of the humble; He will prepare our hearts and cause our ears to hear Him. (Ps. 121:3 and Ps.10:17)

I shared with at least fifteen people and there were others who were just listening but not taking part in the conversation. I saw some people get up and leave only to find out later that I had spoken revelation knowledge into their lives that I had no way of knowing. I replied back to one lady who remarked on this "God knows her situation better than anybody!"

The people at the booth were not happy that I was there witnessing and testifying about the Lord but I'm still praying for Peter and Christina. You see, God loves them too. They know I'll be back next year and they know that the Christian God is the real God so we'll see if they show up.

God willing, I'll be there, with lots of back up support. Praise the Lord!

I pray this article encourages you to ask God what you can do in your neighborhood for Him.   It's not about being the most important, or the most polished, all He needs is our willingness and obedience and we can make a huge difference for eternity.  Bless you, in Jesus' Name!
