Sorry it has been so long since I have last wrote a blog! It has been nothing but crazy here, which is a good thing!
On Tuesday the 15th was Independence Day here in Costa Rica! We began the day with ATLs (ask The Lord). After breakfast we began praying for what The Lord had to offer us on this blessed day. Everyone in the group got either some sort of message,word, or vision. I specifically got a vision of a man in a black shirt with white lines/words, sneakers, a hat, darker skinned, he has a scruffy face that made him sort of look homeless, a back pack on and he had a funny walk.
As soon as we made it to downtown San Jose we began I pray and after that, I had a strong feeling to just walk straight towards all the people, so we did. After walking about five or six blocks we all decided to take a turn down this empty gloomy road! One of the boys on the team got a phrase from God that said, “to go down to a place where you do not feel comfortable going,” we did as instructed! After waking about two blocks or so, behind a van, I saw a man. This man had a black shirt on with white lines/ words, a white backpack on, pants, sneakers and he had a funny walk to him. But I didn’t know if he was the guy because he didn’t have short hair and a hat on. He had long hair with dreads! So I was very hesitant! As I stood there watching him walk away I heard a voice say “GO!” I told the group we have to go now!! All of us took off in a very fast walking pace to catch up to this guy! But oh man, he could walk fast! When we caught up to him we asked to pray for him! As we did we got words: healing, pain and strength! At the end of the prayer, we told him that and with tears in his eyes he said that is exactly what he was going through and that, that prayer changed his life and that what we were doing was a miracle and a blessing all in one!
So it goes to show you that if God tells you to do something do it! Just jump into it head on and he will take care of you no matter what and it doesn’t matter if it was not the person in your vision, everyone needs prayer!
God bless,
