Newport Continued

Saturday morning and afternoon Larissa and Laura taught on prophetic painting and treasure hunting. Although not many people from the congregation showed up, the few who did and the MC’s took the opportunity to ask God for clues and venture out to the nearby Levee where there was plenty of treasure to discover. Probably the story that stands out the most is when Laura had the clues “yellow shoes” and “green hair.” After a while Denica spotted a clown that fit that description and also had striped socks (stripes were one of Denica’s clues). Laura got very excited and we proceeded to go talk to her and pray for her. The lady was very surprised that our clues matched and she was more than happy to receive prayer for her and her husband’s health. Also, Jordan had “scoliosis” on his list, and he saw a man with a broken foot. He figured he might as well pray for him because he obviously needed healing. When he asked him if he could pray, the man said, “Actually I’d like you to pray for my mom who has scoliosis.” One of the young men from the church, Joe, came with us too, and he found a guy that matched four of his clues. Joe prayed for the man’s loneliness because he is not with his family at the time.

While in Newport, we had the opportunity to pray for healing for Pastor Cole’s shoulder, Mrs. Milar’s knee, and Ryan’s foot, as mentioned before. While praying for Mrs. Milar, she said she could feel heat in her knee, and I believe some of the pain was diminished. When we saw Ryan again, he was almost putting full weight on his foot. He confirmed that it was feeling much better!

Sunday night service!

-Kristen prophesied over a family in the church, and when they came up to her for prayer, they confirmed that everything she said was right on!

-Kendra gave a word to a young lady about increasing her creative gift and again, the word was confirmed and matched with something that was in her heart to do.

-Jordan prayed for a couple young guys who were very encouraged. He was able to speak into their lives because of the things he had in common with them. Also, Jordan went to a new level in sharing his testimony. He was vulnerable and it was very impacting.

-John Clark prayed and prophesied over four young men. One of them said he was seriously considering not coming to the service until God told him directly he needed to go and ask John to pray for him!

-Laura really connected with a girl about her age and was very encouraged by her excitement and openness. The girl even deliberately went to stand by Laura during worship.

-Denica painted prophetically during worship, and when she was finished sharing what it meant, one of the young men in the church got up and said that while he was wondering to himself what was being painted, he pictured something extremely similar to what Denica painted! He said he was floored when he saw the painting! God released over him through that a vision to step into more prophetic art. He used to be into drawing but hasn’t done it in about 5 years.

-Genesis was able to personally share her testimony with a lady who could relate a lot with what Gen had gone through.

-All of the MC’s got up after the dramas and dances and prophesied either over specific people or the church. Most of the words were confirmed and people were very encouraged!

-There was a lady who was at the prophetic painting workshop earlier that day whom Larissa thought should do a painting that night. She was actually really excited about it even though she formerly doubted her artistic abilities. She ended up doing an incredible job and hearing clearly from the Lord. It was cool to be able to release her into one of her gifts!

Jordan was pleasantly surprised by a visit from his family on Sunday! He will see them again when we go to Winchester.

We have been so blessed by the offering taken for Master’s Commission at the different churches. And we are blessed by the offering taken at Covenant Life while we have been gone too! God has provided in ways we never expected!

Yesterday, on Monday, we had the opportunity to clean up the Coles’ yard because they are getting ready to sell their house. After our time with them, we drove to Louisville, where we are now with Pastor Ted and Dawn Sandquist. We get to work at the church today, and tomorrow we will do a prayer walk in the city and do an evening service. Thank you everyone for your prayers and your support! We love you!!!
