Interesting Night

I do believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, but rarely have I experienced His work in my life. Well one night a few years back, I went street-witnessing with some friends, both of them newer believers. (I think street-witnessing is a great way to break new believers into learning how to share their faith). Well it was a great night, we talked with some folks, we had a good time just hanging out with each other, and then we left, nothing particularly different. As we were about to go home, we decided to pray, I will tell you right now that is the most spirit led prayer session I have ever been a part of! One of us opened and then like popcorn reading we began 'popcorn prayer', one person would chime in after another's sentence, completing the idea of the prayer, without anyone stepping on the others toes. It was the most dynamic, Spirit led thing I had ever been a part of. Afterwards we were all pumped so the natural thing to do was go eat, it had been a long evening and we were all hungry so we went to the local Steak and Shake. When we left my heart was saying I needed to speak to this guy standing near the entrance. I spoke to him as if I knew him and what was going on in his life and he nodded as if we were in agreement. To this day I don't know if what I said impacted him or if it was a word of knowledge or something else, but in my heart I am confident that the Spirit of God spoke to that young man that night. Man... it still gets me pumped thinking about that night and how God did amazing things through my friends and I, blessing us in the process.

Pray for me when you read this because I am going to street witnessing tonight and hopefully I will be going out regularly to love on people in my community right where they are at.
