I just read through my posts from this year and realized that I forgot to post about a few other situations:
1) Tiffany (see her message below) ended up sharing more with her Aunt who then called Don, asking him if he would come pray for her, too. So, we all traveled to LA to meet up with her and her husband. Both of them received the Holy Spirit that day and were so happy. They had been attending a local Calvary church and were unaware of the full gospel message!
2) When selling our furniture in California, we got to share the Word with many people. One lady ended up accepting our invitation to come back and pray with us. She brought her husband at the time. She is a nurse and was concerned about Covid, and we shared the “peace that passes all understanding” that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit. (That’s how we first got talking about God.) Anyway, we prayed over her and she received the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues. Her husband was more skeptical, so he never received the Holy Spirit. But, we pray he will be won over by his wife’s enthusiasm for the Lord.
3) On our way to Ohio, we stopped at a gas station somewhere in Utah. Two ladies in a pick-up truck pulled up very close to us, wanting to comment on our vehicle’s signage. Later, the lady driver shared that “for some reason” she felt moved to talk with us. She knew at that point that it had been God guiding her!
The conversation at the gas pumps quickly turned to the Lord, and we ended up asking the ladies if they wanted us to pray for them. They did, so we all moved to the back of the gas station where it was quieter. Standing on the sidewalk next to our vehicles, our whole family laid hands on the ladies. They both received the Holy Spirit, praying in tongues strongly! They were so excited, hugging and crying. They are best friends and had attended church meetings together for a long time.
We talked some more about the Lord and then encouraged the two ladies to share their experience with their husbands, children, and church friends. It was a very unexpected and joyous encounter on our travels!
