Last Monday night (September 1, 2008), God placed this in my heart:
“Isann, I want you to go to the Oceanside pier this coming Saturday in the late afternoon. There’s someone that needs prayer. I want you to pray for this person.”
Alright God! I knew I was going to go on Saturday, but I didn’t know who or why or what. This became a good heaviness in my heart that I literally could not sleep. I ended up texting Jason telling him that God wants me to do something. The following day I called Jason up and told him what God placed in my heart. Funny thing, Jason felt his heart towards the Oceanside pier as well. So, we decided that we would go together. Still, we had no idea who God wanted me to pray for. Jason and I decided to ask God throughout the week to guide us and lead us. Saturday came and I was able to talk with Jason again. Jason told me that God told him that this person was a male and that he would look familiar to Jason. I, on the other hand, received a shape. heh. random, i know. This shape was like a cylinder. I kind of saw it as a cup. So off we went to the Oceanside pier. When we parked, I was urged to pray some more, that God can narrow the characteristic of this mystery person. As we prayed, God put two colors in my head. The first color, bright green yellow. The second color, light blue. Yes…. more randomness. So here Jason and I were, with these 5 “clues” as I would like to say.
We entered the pier, and as we entered, someone caught both of our eyes… actually there were 2 of them. They were exiting just as we were entering. So check this out:
Both were men. One was on crutches. I looked at his leg and there was the cylinder shape, his cast. Guess what color it was? Bright green yellow! His friend walking beside him was wearing a light blue shirt. Jason and I looked at each other and I knew we had to pray for the guy in crutches, healing upon his leg. So we approached them and asked what happened. It happens to be that they are from North Carolina and just visiting. He allowed us to pray over him and his leg, then they quickly left. After a few steps away, Jason immediately exclaimed “That guy reminds me of Tony (a friend of ours)!” Heh… that man was familiar to him.
God is amazing. And whatever God did after that prayer, well let’s just say it is His will, and I guess I’ll never know. But praise Him because He really does have ways of speaking to His children.
