Coffee Shop Prophetic Evangelism

This morning when I was praying for God to give me a grace with the prophetic. I have a hard time believing that I can hear from God. Evangelism does not scare, the prophetic does. I feel like God is urging me to trust Him and allow Him to do miracles and demonstrate His power through me. It's good for me, because it makes evangelism all about God and not about me.

So today I went out to bruinwalk evangelism with Myles and a few others. I made a sign that said, "God is Real. Let his show you." I held it out for a little while but no one was approaching me. I got some weird looks but nothing was happening. I decided to wait on God. I felt like God was telling me that he was sending me to get wet and engtangeled in the lives of people. I couldn't just stand off to the side but i had to sink myself deep into the lives of people. I've always asked God to allow me to love people and be part of their lives. This is an answer to prayer.

So afterwards I went to do "coffee shop prophetic evangelism" haha. I sat with my computer at this table where I'm usually at. It's the perfect table to practice prophetic words cuz you sit next to random people all who do not know each other. I asked God to speak to me and give me a word of knowledge about each of them. So the first girl I meet, I felt like God was telling me that she was president or at least high up with an organization on campus. So I felt God give me the courage and faith to ask her so I did. She said she was not president but she was on the board for Bruins for Israel. She asked me if i was part of any organizations and I said yes, PC and IJM. I explained what Passion Church was in the in the simpliest way I could and took down my info and said she would e-mail if we wanted to do events together. It thought that was interesting. I gave my info to at least 2 other organizations that day to see if i could network with social groups on campus and develop my sphere of influence. God once again is telling me I need to get my hands wet with student issues and student life on campus.

The second girl i was sitting next to I felt like God told me that she wanted to be a teacher. I waited like 30 minutes to finally ask her. She said yes right away that she did want to be a teacher. I was excited of course. I explained to her why i asked and she told me she was a christian. I encouraged her to pursue her destiny and she was thankful. I thought God or odd? SO i was like God give me another word for someone.

Another girl sat down next to me. She had left earlier but had now returned. Earlier I felt like God was telling me that she had a difficult time sleeping. So i asked her, "do u have a hard time sleeping ?" And she responded "No! My conscience is clean." hahaha I explained to her what i was doing and that i was trying to hear from God. She finally came clean and was like "honestly i did have a hard time sleeping last night cuz i was thinking about some stuff" haha yea to my surprise. She asked me when i started developing this gift and i explained to her that i believed God speaks to people and that i recently started trying it out to bless and encourage people. She told me she didn';t believe in organized religion but believed in something bigger out there. I told her about how i do evangelistic type bible studies and she told me she would facebook me. I'll keep praying for her.

It's crazy though what God does when you step out in faith. I'm encouraged and realizing that God does want to use me and can if i am willing to let him. =)
