a life of prayer…at CompUSA????

Amanda and I went to CompUSA today to price out their selection of MacBook Pros and while we were looking Amanda felt an impression to pray for a particular worker at the store.  He mysterioulsy disappeared for a little while in the back so we meandered and almost left the store twice without finding him and offering him prayer.  about 15 mins later, we waited in the check out line and felt the urge to look for him one last time.  We found him in the back corner!

our conversation went like this…
me: “can I ask you a question?”
guy: “yes, but those guys (younger co-workers) are probably smarter”
me:  “thats ok, I wanted to talk to you…I’m a Christian, believe in Jesus, and we’re from the Intl. House of Prayer right down the road, we were looking at these computers a little while ago and saw you and felt like God wanted us to pray for you (two younger co-worker guys intensely looking on and listening).  so is there anything you want prayer for?”
guy:  “No, I’m good, thanks”
me: “are you sure? nothing we can pray for? you don’t need any healing, family is doing ok? anything?”
guy: “nope, I’m good”
me: “OK, no problem, well bless you”
{I turned to the two co-worker younger guys…}
me: “anything you guys want prayer for?”
them: “yea, we need new jobs b/c our store is closing”
me: awesome, lets pray…
So we prayed for them, just like a 15 second prayer.

I noticed 2 things:
{1} It was so easy!
{2} but the powerful thing was that we felt the pleasure of the Lord as we obeyed Him and laid down our fears. It was so sweet to actually share God’s heart with them in just a brief couple minutes. Who knows what seeds may have been sown as a result of our weak “yes” to God! Amen!
