Danielle's Story // 12.4.13 // Grace Center

At Grace Center, we have an annual Women’s Tea for all the ladies in our church. While I was getting ready for the tea, I asked God for a word for someone that I would encounter while I was there. I felt like I heard the following:

  • Location: GC Women’s Tea
  • Appearance: short brown hair and sweater
  • Word: You are seen and known, God is proud of you
  • Need: Deliverance from anxiety and depression

So with these clues, I got to the women’s tea and started looking for someone with short brown hair and a sweater. As I was looking, i noticed someone I knew with those matching clues, but got really nervous with sharing the word and the need that I heard. I guess I got nervous because I know the lady pretty well and she serves in an area that I run at church, so if I heard wrong, I would see her ALL the time!

I decided to be brave and just go for it! I walked up to the her and told her how she was my treasure for the day. I shared the clues that I felt like I heard and she was in shock! She was so thankful that I shared them with her, and she was definitely feeling God in that moment, because she nearly fell over from His presence. She was so thankful that I stepped out and told her what I heard. She encouraged me to always do what God says to do even if it is intimidating or terrifying!

John's Story // 11.26.13 // Cool Springs Mall

Treasure hunt. Three of my clues were food court, redshirt, right ankle. While we were standing in the food court,  I saw a man in a red shirt limping. I approached him and asked him whether his name was Tim he said no, it is Dennis. I prayed for him. After we walk around the mall for a while looking for other clues, I returned to the food court to see whether I could find Tim. While I was standing in the middle of the food court, enjoying the presence of the Lord, Dennis came and stood 5 feet from me. It looked as though he wanted to talk. I then spoke further words of encouragement to him, Telling him that God was calling him, he was chosen, and that he could find support in the body of Christ. He asked me several questions and I responded to them.
