On my treasure map I wrote down these clues: that we were going to meet 4 teenagers at a certain Kebab restaurant. Also, one of them would have a Turkish name starting with the letter “M”, and they all would encounter the power of God.

We went to the particular restaurant I had in mind, but nobody matched our clues. As I tried to think of what to do, I saw that there was another kebab restaurant across the street. As we began walking over there, we saw 4 teenage guys sitting in front of the restaurant. We approached them and started talking to them.

One of the guys who was most interested ended up having the Turkish name,”Mahmed,” which matched the clue on my treasure map. I prophesied over him about being a teacher. He freaked out because that had always been his dream. As I was sharing with him I got a word of knowledge for pain in his right knee. He said that he had pain in his right knee. Then I remembered that I had written down “right knee” as a clue on my map.

I was showing my list to the guys, as 6 more of their friends showed up at the restaurant. I went on to tell them what had just happened, and how God was about to heal their friend’s knee, and that they should come and watch. I then prayed for Mahmed’s knee, and he got completely healed right in front of them all!

Then, his Muslim friend jumped up and asked me to pray for his ankle and his blood pressure. I looked at my treasure map, and showed him that on my list next to “right knee” was “blood problems”. He freaked out, and started shaking under the power of God, telling me that he is getting goose bumps all over his body. I prayed for him, and he felt the power of God come all over him like fire. Then he sat down because he couldn’t stand under the power of God anymore. He then began to explain what was happening to his friends, who were all freaking out as well.

One of the guys started to mock the healing, and said it was just psychology and tricks. I could tell that he was very influential in this group, so I shared with the group that healing was only a bi-product of God’s love. It is an introduction to his goodness and an invitation to get to know him closer. He continued mocking what was going on, so I asked God for a WOK (word of knowledge) about him.

Jesus showed me that his relationship with his dad was broken. I also saw a vision of his little sister. I started prophesying to him that God was going to restore his relationship with his dad. I also told him that he was an amazing older brother because of how he looked after his sister, even when his parents didn’t. I told him that God wanted to use him like a prophet of love to his own family.

He started freaking out, and tears of hope started to roll down his cheeks. He asked his friends if they had told me about the problems he had with his dad and little sister. They claimed not to have mentioned a thing. All of a sudden, he was totally overwhelmed because he realized that we really did know and hear from God.

Another guy sitting in the restaurant suddenly said, “I’m an atheist, what is God showing you about me?” I didn’t have a prophetic word for him at the moment, but told him that I would get one for him. Instantly God showed me that he loves his musical creativity and is going to use it in mighty and supernatural ways. He began to share how he loved to play drums, but had to quit after he had broken his wrist because of the constant pain. He could still feel it popping when he moved it. I prayed for him for a few seconds, releasing healing on his wrist. Then, I had him test it out, and he had no more pain!

At this point my treasure hunt map was being passed around the whole restaurant because everyone wanted to know if God was looking for him or her as well. One young man called to me as he was reading the clue, “white t-shirt with blue printings on it” out loud, as he was looking down on his shirt with big eyes because that was exactly what he was wearing!

2 Muslims and 1 former Atheist got totally healed, and many more received accurate prophetic words. A lot of people were able to witness and experience what God had done. Some of them even gave their lives to Jesus within the next few days, and are now coming to church! PRAISE THE LORD!”

The sister from Sweden contributed clues that led the team to an art studio in downtown Redding.  As they began to minister to the owners of the studio, it was apparent that the couple fit the description of several of the clues listed on the Treasure Hunters maps, including the sister’s from Sweden.  Even more interesting, the couple are members at our church, and former pastors in the area.

After ten minutes into the conversation, the husband broke into the conversation, saying, “This might seem a little strange.  I don’t know any of you, but I feel like someone on your Treasure Hunt team needs to be saved.”

With that, the sister from Sweden responded, “That would be me.  I just came on this Treasure Hunt because my sister invited me.  I can see now how that God must have a good plan and purpose for my life.”  The husband then led her to Christ, to the shock and amazement of the rest of the Treasure Hunt team who had all just assumed that she had been a believer!

The amazing thing about this testimony is that she actually got words of knowledge that led her to the person who would lead her to Christ.  That is a first for me!  We serve a creative God, who is able to position us in the right place at the right time.

As he hopped in, I asked him “Are you going to the conference?”  His response was, “What conference?” I replied, “Are you going to Bethel?” to which he replied, “What’s Bethel?”
Dumbfounded, I asked, “Don’t you know there is a church up this street – There is nothing else there?” He then confessed, “No, I am actually lost. I am trying to find the bus stop to get to my girl-friend’s house on the other side of Redding.”

I then pointed out, “Do you realize God set you up, this is such a divine appointment?” to which he admitted, “It sure looks like it, doesn’t it”.

He then let me pray for his broken hand, telling me that his doctor said he couldn’t work for 6 weeks, because it was so swollen.  As I prayed for him, the Holy Spirit showed me he’d given his heart to the Lord when he was a young kid, but had totally walked away, and that the Lord wanted him to “come home”.

I asked him about it and he said he had asked Jesus into his heart when he was 7 years old, but he’d totally messed his life up. He said “Yes, I need to give my life back to the Lord”.
I prayed with him, and he prayed out loud – repenting for walking away, and asking God to take control of his life again.

So then I asked him if he’d let me give him a lift to wherever he was going, but first would he come with me to my meeting?  When we arrived at the Treasure Hunt training, I asked if he would let our visitors practice giving prophetic words on him. He said he didn’t mind, so about 15 Treasure Hunters all prophesied over him. He was totally undone. He had tears running down his face as the Lord ministered to his heart.

Afterwards, I asked how his hand was doing, and prayed for it again. This
time we all watched as God totally healed his hand. All his swelling went away (in front of our eyes!), and he had full range of movement with no pain!!!!

I took his number so I could follow up with a chat on the phone, and pray with him. When we sent our teams out on Treasure Hunt, one team drove him to his destination — a very happy, and a very transformed young man!

Several of us had Sonic Burger, and others had Walmart.  Since Sonic Burger is right in front of Walmart, we decided to walk over to Sonic Burger where we met a lady with her Junior High soccer team.  We asked her if she needed prayer, and she said she suffered from migraines all the time (that was one of our clues on our Treasure Map).  She explained that she couldn’t tell if there was any change, since she had just taken medicine, although she said she felt peace.

We then asked the team of boys with her whether or not they had any pain.  One of the boys spoke up saying that his ankle was hurting (another clue on our Treasure Map).  He said it was about a 8 for pain level, so we prayed and it went down to a 2.  We asked if we could pray again and he said the pain was gone.

Another boy spoke up and said he also had pain in his left ankle.  He was wearing yellow shoes, which one of the team members had on their list of clues, so we invited the other boys to come and pray for their friend.  They laid hands on him, and all the pain left. The boys were utterly surprised that their friend had been healed as they prayed!

At that point, another boy said that he had pain.  The friends prayed, and his pain went away as well.  Meanwhile, one of the Treasure Hunters saw a boy hunched over in pain and asked if he had problems with his gallbladder, which was another clue on our Treasure Maps.  He said yes, and after prayer, all the pain left his body. He started moving around with no pain!!!!!

A lady came and sat down at one of the tables next to us.  We asked if she needed prayer and she said no.  We noticed she had a hearing aide, so we shared the testimony from a couple of weeks ago, in which a lady who had been deaf for 54 years, after her eardrum had been removed, was healed after a very short prayer.  She was touched by the story and allowed us to pray.

She had been deaf since birth in her right ear and had only 20% hearing in her left ear.  We asked her to take her hearing aide out and said a quick prayer.  We started backing up, having her declare how much Jesus loved her, and how he was healing her.  She was able to repeat everything, as we got about 3 to 4 ft away, and then followed our verbal commands at 12 feet.  It was so amazing!  She had come for food on her lunch break, and God interrupted her lunch, and completely healed her.  She was also given a prophetic card, which had a picture of a rainbow and listed Gods promises.  It was so great to see the Love of Jesus invade her life and heal her ears!!!!!  Yeah Jesus!!!

We finally went to Walmart and found a lady with a “yellow shirt”.  She had a daughter named Mia (we had that name on our list), who had Kidney failure, so the team prayed for the little girl, Mia.  Her mother was so overwhelmed with all the clues listed on the Treasure Map, saying how that she now knew that God really did love her that she began to cry.

Afterwards, we saw a statue of a Wintu Dancer.  Since one of the Treasure Hunt team had dance, we waited a short time until a man with a red shirt (another clue) was heading into Walmart.  We showed him our map, shared with him what we were doing, and asked if he needed prayer.  He shared how that he had been in pain for over two years with a back problem that affected his sciatic nerve (also clues).  So, we prayed, and his pain completely left.  He started bending over, while jumping up and down.  It was so amazing to see the joy all over his face, as he realized there was no more pain.  We saw him several more times in the store as we prayed with others for healing, and each time he confirmed that he was indeed healed…Praise Jesus!

We saw another lady walk by who had a brace on her wrist, and several of the team members went tracked her down as she weaved through the aisles.  She explained that she had sprained her wrist from a sports injury (another clue) and after we prayed, all the pain left.

We found another lady wearing “red,” whose husband was a retired pastor, and had been hunched over from a back injury for over 50yrs.  He was able to stretch his back up for the first time after we released the presence of God on him.

After we finished, we decided to meet back over at Sonic Burger to get a bite to eat before heading home.  Upon arriving, we found another family, as we were in line getting ready to order.  We asked if one of the women had back pain, to which she responded, “no,” but you can pray for our hearts because we just came from our aunt’s funeral who had died of cancer (another clue).

One of the Treasure Hunt team had “lost family member” as a clue, so we showed them our Treasure Map, which opened up a door to minister to the entire family.  That’s when God showed up!

They explained that they were on their way home from Oregon, and decided to stop to get something to eat.   After a few more minutes of ministering, we asked again if anyone had back pain, and the woman who had previously said “no,” confessed that she had suffered from back pain for more than 10 years, and had not lived one day without pain.  She also said that she had scoliosis, and invited us to pray.

All of her pain left, and she began to cry, as she felt the love of Jesus.  She had previously walked around hunched over to take some of the pain away.  She starting moving around and felt no pain.

Her mom could not believe what she was seeing, because she had been praying that her family would be touched in a real way by Jesus and this was the day!  As we showed them the rest of our clues, the whole family began to cry, as they saw the word “pie” in our unusual category of the Treasure Map.  That name just happened to be the nickname of the aunt who had just past away.

A few minutes later, the mother said she normally had migraines, and so we declared that the Lord was going to touch her, and that her head would begin to tingle as a sign she would have no more migraines.  All of a sudden, her head began to tingle, and she related that she felt tremendous peace.  She also started to cry again, as the presence of God came upon her.

In the midst of all of this, one of the ladies’ husband’s called from Iraq.  We were able to minister to him, and prophesy over him.  We also shared how the Lord was going to touch him right there in Iraq, and that his hands would start to get hot.  Immediately, he shouted, “My hands are getting hot, my hands are getting hot!”

So, God rocked the whole family, even over the phone with the love of Jesus.

Another Treasure Hunt team member gave a braclet to one of the ladies…She was so touched.   It was so amazing to see the liquid love of Jesus turning their mourning into dancing.  They left so full of joy.  It was priceless.

There were so many more who were touched with love encounters!  God showed up in such a powerful way, displaying so many “treats” for so many people on this Halloween.

God is so Good!

One of the teams found a guy who had injured his knee and had a leg brace on. He was unable to bend his knee due to the injury. When they prayed for him he felt fire go through his leg and when he removed the knee brace, he discovered that movement had been restored to his knee.

Our team was lead to the certain area downtown by various clues (indicated by the bold letters), and we found a family “sitting around a table”, near the “fountain”. When we approached them and explained that we were on a treasure hunt and that God had led us to them with words of knowledge because He wanted to bless them, the “father” immediately threw up his hands and gave thanks to God. He told us that they had left their hometown to get away from a bad lifestyle and try to make a new start. They had loaded up everything they owned in a Uhaul van and two cars and headed north. They drove as far as they were allowed to with the mileage restrictions on the Uhaul and ended up in Redding. They had spent the previous night in their vehicles and then started looking for a place to rent that morning.

We started going over our list of clues with them. The youngest daughter had “dark hair and blue eyes”. The older daughter had a “scar on her face”, “abdominal pain”, and a “tattoo”. We prayed for her and her pain left, and she felt peace as the presence of God touched her and all of her stress left. Her boyfriend had a “soar throat”, and “jaw pain”. We prayed for him. The “father” who had a “ponytail”, was suffering form a “bad right knee”. When we prayed for him, he felt heat going into his leg, and most of the pain left. We discovered that the mother had “cancer” and was “bipolar”. We prayed for her, and ministered to the rest of the family through prophecy before they had to leave for an appointment to look at a house.

This whole family was amazed that God had showed us so many things about them and that we found them just as they were in desperate need for something good to happen in their lives.  We gave them directions to the church, got their contact information and are looking forward to seeing God completely transform this whole family!
