Mid April 2019
In town today the sun was out , as were the pop-up stalls, shoppers and children as Easter Holidays are in full swing.
There were some interesting prophetic encounters today. The first with a knowledgeable Muslim gentleman “Hussein” who had a table with Koranic literature on it. He was there with his teenage son and some other Muslim gents. He was keen to engage me in lengthy conversation about various aspects of the Koran and what it shows about God. I resisted attempts to get into any tit-for-tat theology debate and just smiled at him as he made his points. He had a good heart.
I felt as I saw him there that Holy Spirit revealed him to me as a 7 year old boy who was looking intently up at the stars and moon and planetary systems. I was hearing that “Hussein” had an intense interest in astronomy which was linked to his thirst to know meaning and his own place in life. I found an entry point to tell him of this revelation and he immediately confirmed that it was true!. He did have a real interest in astronomy as a boy and said “Yes, it actually was when I was 7 or 8 years old”. I explained that Jesus was the one who had downloaded that to me. He then took the conversation off in his own direction about the Koran and astronomy and I had to let it take its course.
Later I had opportunity to say something I felt I heard about some struggles his wife was having. He thanked me for praying for her, though again took the conversation back to how she was now memorising the whole Koran and how far she had got! I felt it was time to move on but he was genuinely grateful that I had stopped to talk with him – even though he did most of the talking.
Holy Spirit only you can open the eyes of our hearts. Open “Hussein’s” eyes and understanding to know that Jesus is more than just a prophet. May the revelation about astronomy today stick with him in a way that he cannot forget and cause him to want to know once again who he is to You ….all because of your Son Jesus.
The next couple of people I came across were two young American ladies in their twenties who announced themselves as missionaries – this time from the Church of Latter Day Saints! I told them I was a missionary too and work as a street pastor in Slough. They were curious! They didn’t have any physical pain to pray for but said they were both weary and also really needed to make contact with a certain person today which had been proving difficult. I told them I agreed in prayer for that to happen this very day and they were grateful.
I asked if they had ever been prayed for by someone before – they said yes and also accepted my offer to pray for them briefly there and then. They told me their names – Ava and Kris. I prayed for them individually as Holy Spirit gave me specific downloads about them and their families They were very appreciative of what I had prayed and kept saying it had been really lovely. I blessed them and wished them a Happy Easter….
Dear Holy Spirit, once again please unlock the revelation of who you really are, Jesus, and where there is confusion and darkness, flood it out with your Light.
Finally, I passed a shop front where a young sales assistant was standing – presumably to inform passing customers of new offers. As I chatted briefly with her I felt Holy Spirit highlight her artistic gifting and that I needed to ask her what she was going to do about using this gifting? After saying I had a random question for her, she was happy for me to ask it. She remarked “That is so funny – my Manager JUST THIS MORNING was asking me what I was going to do about pursuing the career I really want !” She explained how she had previously trained as a make-up artist and had been thinking about taking it up as a career. I told her that I would be praying that she gets people of integrity around her who can really foster her talent. She was amazed that twice in one day – half day! – she was hearing the same message. “This must be a sign!” she exclaimed. I explained that I heard it from Jesus just for her, then had to leave her as someone else needed her. Short but sweet! Her name is “Ally” .
Over to you Holy Spirit. Take what may seem small and multiply it like those fish and bread that fed many hungry people with the goodness of Heaven, through the name and love of Jesus!!!
