Acts1:8.  “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

The Holy Spirit does many things in the life of a believer.

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about.

Years ago, a Pastor I know invited my wife and I to join him at a conference in Canada. The conference was about “How to be lead by the Holy Spirit”.

While at the conference my Pastor came across a Pastor friend of his from California.

After the morning session we went out to get some lunch. While we were eating, the California Pastor noticed a guy who was sitting by himself. He asked him if he was here for the conference…he said he was…so California Pastor invited him over to our table.

As we all talked, the California Pastor nudged me, and said prophecy to him…pointing to the guy that just joined us.

Immediately, and very gently, the Lord began showing me a picture. I grabbed a pen and a napkin and began to draw. When I finished, I ask the guy if this meant anything to him. He looked at it and began to tear up. I asked him what it was. He said that it was a picture of the island that he was currently ministering on. And that he actually flew from that island to be here for this conference.

When he said this, it confirmed in my spirit that what I was showing him was correct.

Then the Lord showed me (in the Spirit) what looked like a bicycle wheel. As I pondered it, the Lord told me to tell the guy that while he is ministering on the island…he was not to follow the coastline…but instead…needs to travel from one coastal city…to the interior city…and back out to the next coastal city.

Many times the Lord will give me a single word for a person, and when I share it they’ll ask me how I knew? I just tell them that this is what the Lord showed me. As they begin to talk more about their situation, the Lord will usually give me more to pass on to them.

I never know when it’s going to happen, I just know that when it happens…it’s spot on!

 

Be Eternally Blessed,

Tim
