Can I Pray for You part 2

I want to share what I experienced tonight. I got off work about 22:00. I stopped by a convenient store to get some gas.

While walking in, I saw a woman sitting on the curb off to the side and she called me over. I went in and paid for the gas. When I came out I went and spoke to her. She asked for $6.00 so she could get something to eat at a fish place next door. I gave her $2.00 because I'm broke.

So, I went and pumped my gas, and I couldn't get her off of my mind. I believe the Lord told me to go and pray for her, so I did. I walked up to her and asked if I could pray for her and she said yes.

I squatted right in front of her and she held out her hands. This shocked me, because most people don't know or understand that laying on of hands is fundamental doctrine. It says so in Hebrews 6:2. Also, I've had the Lord put people on my heart to pray for before, and I'm always attacked by fear and sometimes I don't pray for them. I was greatly excited because this time I didn't succumb to fear. I did what our Father said.

So, I took her hands and started praying. I began by praising the Lord and asking for His direction. The whole time I was praying, she was loosening and tightening her grip on my hands. I felt like she was hungry for the Lord. Also, to know about laying on of hands, she must know God, at least some.

When I left, I couldn't stop thinking about her and my friend said something about how I get back what I gave. Yea God. I hadn't even thought about the fact that this was an offering.

Actually Jesus said in Matthew 25:36-40, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.

How cool is that? The Lord was hungry and I gave Him money to by some food, because I did it for one of the least of these. Thank You Father. This was truly an exciting night because I got to experience a victory in the Lord.

I prayed for her and that's all I was asked to do. So, I can continue to pray for her if the Lord puts her on my heart. But the rest is up to her.

God bless servant21

Can I pray for you?

I was thinking about this girl I work with, she came to work the other day and looked really sad and alone. I asked her if she was ok and she said no, so I asked if I could pray for her and she said it wouldn't help.

Well, there was nothing more I could've done,so I let it go. She'd already decided that prayer wouldn't help. I guess if you don't know God or only know Him in a small measure, you don't know or understand how great He is or what He can and will do.

I hope I'll offer to pray for her again and I hope this time she'll let me, cause I know God would love to have her as His.

See, I sometimes have a problem doing what our Father says. Like when I get an understanding from the Holy Spirit to pray for someone, I'll immediately freeze up, I get scared. Sometimes I overcome fear and sometimes I don't. So, sometimes I do what my Father tells me to and sometimes I don't. This is not acceptable.

2 Tim 1:7 says, " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So, when I'm told to do something by our Father, I need to recognize who my Father is, by not allowing the spirit of fear to quench the Holy Spirit in me. I know what I'm supposed to do, but I still mess up.

As it says in Isaiah 55:8-9, His ways are not our ways and His ways are higher than our ways. I'm thankful for this, because every time I mess up, I can count on my Father. He's in control and knows what needs to be done and how much testing it'll take for me to overcome this present evil in my face.

So, all I can do is trust our Father, so when He wants me to pray for someone, I will. I'll simply rebuke the enemy and walk in the doonamis,and exooseah, power and authority, He's given me and speak to the mountain of fear and cast it into the sea, Matt 21:21. Amen.

God bless, servant21
