Prayer Walks

Monday through Thursday this week we prayed in the evening about what we should do to minister to people in Atlanta. Several times after doing this we felt compelled to go to parks and pray or pass out food and water. Each time God used us and showed up.

Last night we felt compelled to go to Little 5 Points and pass out flowers and cookies with verses attached. After giving the recipients the gift we offered to pray with them. Several people were encouraged by this and invited us to a Christian coffee house that did ministry down there. While there we ran into a couple who needed encouragement and a man who had a lot of questions about God for us.

After one of our group talked with the man for a while he said some rather peculiar things that I ask for you to pray for him about. He said there is something evil in him that he knew was not of himself and he did not like it and he wants it gone. I approached him and asked him if that was it was his true desire to be rid of the thing in him. The man's response was that he didn't know if God wanted it in him because it did good, it protected several of his friends, but it took control of him.

I tried to convince him that God does not like things controlling his people and that God's power is greater than the power that is in him now. He did not want it out of him unless someone could convince him that it was not God's will. He would not listen to me and I could not find a way to help him so I just asked if I could pray for God to reveal it to him personally. He was EXTREMELY willing to allow this to happen so I did. I think he really wants to be free from this demonic oppression. Pray that God will reveal it to his heart and put in him a willingness to see it leave him and a more than anything a willingness to listen and hear the truth.

Finally, I want to ask that you continue in your prayers for me and the team that is with me. We leave tomorrow after noon and won't be back in the states for a month. Pray for favor, direction, and wisdom. Also pray Ephesians 6:19-20 that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel... Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Thank you for your prayers this will be my last post for about a month. I hope to encourage you with news from over seas soon.
