A list of some of our March miracles :)
1) Don found a lost wallet at Walmart, and after an unsuccessful search for the owner in the immediate area, he pulled out the driver’s license and drove to the address listed. The man who answered the door didn’t speak much English, but he pointed to the rear of the house after Don showed him the license. No one was at the little apartment, so Don left a note. The gal phoned later that night, and then she and a friend drove over to our place to collect the wallet. They were most grateful, and Don got to share some of the Word with the gals (although the language barrier was a bit tricky).
Then about one week later, Don was at the same Walmart, but at an entrance he normally doesn’t use. He spied a lady struggling with loading her groceries, so Don wandered over to help. As they were speaking, they both suddenly realized they had already met — on the night the gals came to collect the wallet! The lady in the Walmart parking lot was the friend of the owner of the wallet, and she could very much see God’s hand upon her running into Don again! Don was able to share more scriptural encouragement, and then he left it with her to make steps toward Jesus of her own accord. It will be interesting to see what happens from here . . .
Almost every time Don comes home from a grocery store or hardware store, he has a “story” to share with us. As he begins his journey, Don almost always prays that God will use him to share a message with someone; that God will set up the situation and give Don the words to speak. So, as Don operates in the love and servitude of Jesus, it gets revealed to him who it is that God wants him to speak to, and the message is most often received well because God has prepared the heart of the hearer!
2) Joshua (from our last blog post) texted Don to say that he had just baptized two people in a hot tub. He was so excited to be living out the Book of Acts life just weeks after being filled with the Holy Spirit himself!
3) Don got chatting with our electrical meter reader guy — I’m not sure of their proper title :). As they were parting ways, Juan said “Have a blessed day!” to Don, so Don ran over to him to give him one of our cards. Juan ended up putting his day on hold and came into the house to chat and pray with us. He is already born again (water baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit), so Don was able to encourage him to pray in tongues daily and walk in the authority of Jesus just like the disciples in the Book of Acts. Juan was grateful and left very encouraged. Praise God for His perfect timing of Don being out front when Juan came by to read our meter!
4) The engineering inspector came by to do the final inspection for the pool and surrounding patio area. Don and I were outside at the time and as the inspector approached from the end of the driveway, we could see him limping badly. Don got chatting with him about it, sharing snippets of healing stories from our lives. As Don talked, the man (Jim) was quite overwhelmed and said how amazed he was at the timing as it was only just that very morning that he had gone in for a brain scan. Jim was terrified that he had brain cancer, especially since one of his good friends recently died of a brain tumor.
Don was able to show Jim our “Empowering Lives” video on our “Winging It” page, and he was very touched. Jim couldn’t stay long, but he did add that he was even more amazed because he wasn’t meant to come by to do the inspection — it was supposed to be another guy and even then, they had been given the wrong information by the pool company, so no-one was going to come to inspect at all (thinking that our place was a “new build” situation). We have been praying for Jim that the words Don spoke will cause him to draw nigh to Jesus . . .
