Our California trip has been abundantly prosperous for the Lord’s work so far. Three more people have received the Holy Spirit anointing (with the evidence of speaking in tongues) on separate occasions. One we met in an office and got talking about God after first discussing the things that go on in the school system these days. The next we met in a hotel elevator. We got talking about God after asking him about the cross he was wearing around his neck. Within 10 minutes, he was eager to come to our hotel room to pray. Then, we met a lady a few days ago as we were looking at a show billboard. We was an usher and came over to see if we had any questions. She mentioned the word “blessing,” so straight away we asked her if she went to church. That’s how our conversation with her started. On her day off two days later, she came to our hotel room to pray. She was anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit so quickly, and then she was eager to get baptized to seal her commitment to follow God’s ways.

We’ve also had many other life-changing conversations with people. It’s amazing how many Spirit-filled people the Lord causes us to “run into.” We end up in very powerful, in-depth conversations with them, encouraging them to refine the salvation message they share with people. They walk away enlightened that they need to be actually offering to pray with people to be filled with God’s Spirit and also baptizing them by full immersion in water (instead of just telling lost souls to give their hearts to Jesus).

It has certainly been a very interesting trip so far. The Lord’s hands are so very much upon our daily decisions to go here or there, or to do this or that. God knows who He has in mind that He wants us to speak to. Then it’s just up to us to keep our eyes and ears open as we go about our days!
