Praying at the mall...
Randy is an American from Tennessee who was sitting in the food court of SM mall waiting for his Filipino wife to finish shopping. Jen and I just "happened" to be there on a Thursday afternoon about 4 pm, we were buying her mom a fan for her room which had quit working the day before. I really love the mango shakes so I wanted to go get one :) I saw Randy and went over to say hi because I rarely see white guys. As we talked Randy told me he is working here in the Philippines and needed to work for 5 more years until he can retire but he had fallen and was in extreme back pain. Well, I knew this was the Holy Breath showing up to bless Randy so I asked him if he is a believer since he was from Tennessee (which is known as “The Bible belt”)? Randy said yes, I asked if he believes in healings from Jesus? Yes! So I asked if I could pray for him right now here in the food court? Randy was a little reluctant but said yes as I commanded the pain to leave, the pain dropped from a 10 to a 5! Whoop! Whoop!
This freaked Randy out I said it was ok Jesus is healing him and the Holy Spirit has sent me here to help you. At this point Randy said no thank you to anymore prayer, his dad is a pastor of _____ church and they have been praying for him to be healed!! I said if you let me pray again all the pain will leave right now! Again, Randy said no thank you. Frustrated at his unbelief and that I was the answer to his dad's church prayers. I did not back down, in love I said well when you realize the pain is gone and the Lord has healed you tell three people about the love of God towards you.
