My husband and my eldest son are on their trip today to take some shipping stuff to Belize City. It has turned into a VERY interesting adventure. Long story, but the short of it is that they got two flat tires on the trailer, one soon after the other. Yet, ONLY because of this did they end up calling in to this one lone gas station in the middle of nowhere. It’s hours away from where we are at, but they ended up running into one young Belizean guy that had been doing some work for us and whom we had been preaching to. It turned out that they prayed for this young guy soon after speaking with him at the gas station, and he received the Holy Spirit anointing, speaking in tongues. Praise God! They are now in a tiny boat on a jungle river traveling to where the young man’s mother and other family/friends are so my husband can baptize him. It’s way out in the sticks – totally movie making stuff! It’s very cool.
We are expecting more will come from this. My husband actually prayed with the young man’s two friends here in some fields a few days ago. They wanted him to lay hands on them and pray that they would have a true hearts desire for the Holy Spirit. He did so, so hopefully they will now be moved to action when we tell them what just happened with their buddy. Expect the unexpected with the Lord, EVERY day! He never ceases to amaze me!
P.S. My husband later cleared up something for me: The guy he prayed with and baptized WAS actually one of the young men that he had (days earlier) laid hands on and prayed for (that he would have a desire for the Holy Spirit). Praise, God! The Lord answered the prayer in a most amazing way! No wonder the young man was keen to pray and get baptized. He obviously knew that connecting with my husband again in the middle of the jungle was absolutely no coincidence!
