Engage Your City
At work I received a twenty dollar tip which was unusual for this client, but I had an impression from the Lord that this wasn’t for me. Later one of the ladies I shuttled to the parking lot got back on and went back to work even though work was over for the day. Later I saw her in the lobby on the phone as I kept returning she was still there, and then I saw her crying. My heart was moved with compassion and in my mind I saw a car being towed. Immediately I knew that her car was repossessed. The Lord gave me a few more pieces of information. I walked up to her and asked if I could help her because I was leaving soon.
We host an engage group in Burnsville and have recently been spending time each meeting praying for different levels of financial breakthrough for our families and our neighborhood. Recently, after specific prayer for his situation, one of our regular attendees received a new job that increased his pay by 40%.
At our last meeting, [Read more…]
I try to be a positive person in life but it seems to have a big influence at my job. Because of this I have built a reputation, which brought a person of great influence to come find me. The Director of Culture at a large health group came to me and asked me a few questions. He made a couple of complimentary statements he had heard about me and about things he had seen himself. So he asked me if I would be willing to help him.
I explained that this was my lifestyle, not culture speak. He asked, “If you were to write a program to embody this lifestyle what would it entail?” I said I would call it cultivating a culture of honor. I gave him steps, a road map and even goals to help shift the corporate culture. He was furiously taking notes. The most important part of the conversation was telling him that this was a lifestyle change. That honoring people was to start at home then work then the community. [Read more…]
At my place of work a co worker announced that her left hand/wrist had been hurting her to the point that she couldn’t sleep the night before and showed us her swollen wrist and how she couldn’t move it. She said she was going to have to go to the doctor. I asked the LORD for an opportunity to be able to pray for her. I did not feel the time was yet, and we all got back to work. [Read more…]
During my business open house week, I decided that we were going to do a member appreciation day to end the week on. I had bought bunches and bunches of flowers and a pack of note cards and spent the day writing prophetic words to all 146 who walked through my doors that day. Each person got a word and a flower! It was hard to keep up at times, but it was amazing to see people’s reactions.
There were a few people who had been closed in building a relationship with me or had a normally rude attitude towards me and my staff…they have NEVER been the same! [Read more…]
I’ve been enjoying speaking out the good I see in people’s lives. At one of my frequent client’s workplace, I had a man approach me during a break time. He asked me if I was the guy who,”reads people?” and he seemed skeptical. He told me He was the vice president of operations. He said that he had a question for me but he wanted to see how legit I was by not telling me the question. I felt like Daniel trying to interpret a dream for a king. Nervous… I waited on the Holy Spirit. [Read more…]
I was requested by my employer to revisit some previous clients that needed transport to Wal-Mart to shop. My only responsibility was to transport them but I had gone shopping with them, carried there items in and out and as a result they loved me. During the ride to shop I heard Doris give a sad account of not hearing from her family in years. I was greatly moved with compassion and empathy for her. Her friends tried to encourage her but she seemed to be deep in despair and lonely. So I decided she would be my shopping buddy that day. [Read more…]
