ARE YOU GONNA LAY HANDS ON ME?
I was just about to go to sleep a few weeks back, and I felt like the Lord impressed me to get up go do laundry. I was like are you kidding me? But wanting to be obedient I went tired and all.
So I was sitting there listening to my ipod, and reading. I looked over and saw a lady with two kids doing laundry when the Lord begin to speak to me about her and her kids.
I texted my wife to let her know, asked her to be praying, and I wanted let her know before I ministered to a woman. Anyway....I approached the lady I said that I felt like the Lord wanted to encourage her. She said okay, and I begin to tell her the things that the Lord has placed on my heart for her and her kids. The Lord comforted her about something that were going on in her life, and the life of her kids. As I was ministering to her a guy was walking by us, by now he had stopped and was listening. After I was done she said thanks, and the guy who was still standing by shook my hand and said hey I will be right back, but I wanna know if you got something for me?
In my mind I was like WOW! He walked out, and I prayed and asked God if there was anything that he wanted to say to him? Of course God wants to speak, He is good like that. So the guy came back in and waved me over to where he was seated. As soon as I got over to where he was the first thing he said was ARE YOU GONNA LAY HANDS ON ME? I said no and begin to minister to him the word of the Lord. The man was totally blown away, he was like are you crazy? I was like crazy for Jesus! LOL! I gave him twenty bucks because I felt like the Lord said that He was gonna repay the man for the things that were stolen from him for the last twenty years.
After ministering to him the guy embraced me for a while ( I say embraced instead of hug because the dude was not letting go) I knew that he had felt the love of the Lord, and was clinging to me as if he was clinging to Jesus. He than let me go and said did you just lay hands on me? I was like I guess you can say that, and we laughed. I am not sure why he asked me that but I wonder if he felt something tangible as my hands touched his back? Who knows!!!
I left and continued to do my laundry, and he came back over to me and said that I had totally scared him! He said that no one had ever spoke to him like that before, he than said I don't think you are finished with me and he gave me his number. The dude gave me every number possible. He was like I am at this number between these hours etc... I thought this was great, the dude just didn't know what to do. He had encountered God is such a way that he was just baffled.
Of course all glory goes to God, God just placed me in the right place at the right time. He gave me his number because he said that he wanted me to call him from time to time to share scripture with him , and to pray with him. The very next morning guess who called? You guessed it! We talked for a while and it was really kool. I had no idea even if he would remember me because you can tell that he had been drinking the night before. So any way I just wanted to share this with everyone to encourage you to go out and be contagious!
