The Lord has a broken heart for the lost but many don’t have His heart. Honestly, for a long time I did not have his heart either.
Matthew 9:36 (Message) “When he [Jesus] looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd.”
I was comfortable just working inside the church and being a “good” person outside of church but that’s not what he has called us to do. As we honestly pursue his will and his kingdom its impossible not to have a heart for the lost that compels us to go.
Matthew 28:19 “therefore GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 5:10 “your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
Matthew 26:39 “Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
2 Corinthians 5:14 “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.”
Last Sunday the Lord placed it on my heart to take a team out to evangelize in the city on Friday. He didn’t tell me where we were going up about 6:45p when we were to leave at 7p. I have done prophetic evangelism a few times before but this would be my first venture in Greensboro. Prophetic Evangelism is partnering with the Holy Spirit to reach the lost in love and power. There are so many biblical examples (John 4, Acts 8, Acts 16, John 9, John 11). I gave those that were going out a brief understanding of what it is and some practical things to keep in mind. Then before I told them where we were going we took a few minutes to be quiet before the Lord and asked him for clues to our divine assignments and then we wrote those things down. Some things on our lists were yellow dress, wallet chain, butterfly, thick glasses, and David. After that I told them we were going to the mall and off we headed.
One of the things on my list was the chain wallet, so I’m walking around the mall looking for someone with a chain wallet. (It’s a treasure hunt!) So Aundrea and I are on the third level and I look down to the second level and see a young lady with the chain wallet so we head down after her. We finally catch up to her on the first floor and I tell her that we’re doing a treasure hunt and she had the chain from my list. So I’m able to minister to her and pray with her and her cousin right there in the mall.
One of my favorite was Jay’na and the yellow dress from her list. A young lady walked by and she had a huge dragon tattoo on her back and I made a joke that it was the butterfly we were looking for and completely missed the fact that she had on the yellow dress. She got about 25ft away when I realized it and told Jay’na to go after her because that was the yellow dress. So we head after her and she is heading out of the mall to her car, I’m speed walking trying to catch her with Jay’na coming behind me. She is about 10ft from her car and I yell out “excuse me!”. And she turns around and we approach her and tell her that we’re out doing a treasure hunt and one thing on our list was a yellow dress and she was the only one in the mall that had one on. We then tell her the purpose of what we’re doing and she’s like this is so weird. It was weird because she didn’t believe in God and she recently had a conversation with her line sisters about it and they said that God was going to give her a sign. Aha!! It was not by chance that she was the only one in the mall with a yellow dress! We end up ministering to her and Jay’na got a word of knowledge concerning some things from her past. As Jay’na was talking about that after something she said two bolts of lighting lit up the sky and thunder shook everything. Talk about a sign from God! LOL She did not give her heart to the Lord but we believe that she will in the very near future.
Aundrea had a similar experience at the same time with her butterfly. They found a young lady with a butterfly tattoo and shared the gospel with them. Everything that they shared was a confirmation to what God had already been dealing with them about! Partnering with the Holy Spirit is the only way to do it! We had so much fun!!!
One thing on my list was the name David, I actually got the name on Thursday and God so pressed it upon my heart of how much he was after this person. I had no idea who it was but I was intent on finding a David. In the vision I saw him in a group of guys so when I was walking through the mall, if I saw a group of guys I would ask if one of them was David and none of them were. So we leave the mall without finding David, so I was like I guessed I missed that one. Then as we pull into the church my phone rings….its my little brother David. It doesn’t register yet that he is the David from my list. I tell him what we had just been doing and then as I go through my list with him it clicks. You’re the David on my list! I had no idea what God wanted to say to him so I just began to minister to him and let God speak through me. I hadn’t talked to my brother in a few weeks and had no idea where he was in his relationship with God but every word spoken was exactly on point! God blew my mind with this one because he knows how much I love my little brother and the fact that he would use me to speak through! I was too through once I prayed for him and we got off the phone.
Greensboro is not safe. LOL This was just the first time with a group who had never done this before. What happens when we grow…. Anyone else in the area who wants to join us please contact me.

Even after our conversation about Prophetic Friday, I'm still burning with excitement about what God is stirring up in Greensboro. I declare boldness and Oneness with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as the power and love of God is released upon the apples of God's eyes. I'm so proud of you all and encourage your hearts to chase after Daddy's heart. I truly love you all and Him. :)
