"Prophetic Prayer"
There were a lot of prophetic prayers both giving and receiving at Metro. This was great for everyone and created an atmosphere of faith that was a mountain-top experience for us.
But there were times that were hard to deal with, depending on the circumstances of the need of the individual.
We had prayer time for the children in the church and they were all gathered in the gymnasium. I had prayed for a dozen or so kids when I spotted this little red-headed girl, about 9 or 10 years old. She had a light on her and I knew I was to go pray for her.
The prayer went well but while praying I had a vision. It was clear by the vision that she had a brain tumor, and it hit me extremely hard. Dealing with Danny’s cancer had exposed me to kids with brain tumors, and they were a tough fight.
I asked her if she had been feeling alright. She said she had. I asked her if she had been sick in any way, and she told me she had not. Then she told me she had been having headaches. That she had them for about a month now.
Her parents returned and I asked the Lord what to do. He instructed me to advise them to get her to a doctor right away, as in, as soon as it was possible. They took me seriously and took her to a doctor that next week and was informed she had a brain tumor.
They treated her with chemo but eventually had to take out half her brain. She did amazingly well and last I heard she had grown into a beautiful gal, gotten married and was still doing fine.
Mr. Sullivant invited me to go with a team to a local university to work a prophetic prayer table where we would offer literature and books about the prophetic, while offering prophetic prayer.
We arrived at the student union and when walking out the door toward the common area, I walked into a part of my “The Church” dream. The Holy Spirit just fell on me, and Scott noticed and asked me what had just happened. I told him that I had just walked into one of my dreams and that I remembered this place well. We walked around for a bit, and I explained some of what I had experienced in the dream and how it matched up with what we were seeing.
We then went and set up that book table and a chair to be used for our prophetic prayer. Numerous students asked for prayer.
We prayed for a student who was graduating. One word that was given to him was that he had disobeyed his parents, and the Lord knew he was concerned about the outcome, but he was assured he had done the right thing. After the prayer was over, he explained how he had gotten his degree in engineering but had decided to go to seminary, instead of pursuing his parent approved engineering career. He expressed concern on how he was going to tell his parents about his decision. He did leave with the confidence to do so.
It was truly a great day.
