This happened on Good Friday so seems worth sharing.
Our run about car broke down (new battery needed) and I called Green Flag to come and have a look at it . A Scottish lady answered the phone , based in Falkirk. She advises they will be out asap.
I offer to pray a prayer of blessing for her and do so, asking for the Holy Spirit to bless her with His presence , declare His goodness over all aspects of her life and so forth. She says “thank you so much” with feeling and I ask her if she experienced anything while I prayed, like warmth inside .
“I did”, she advises and I mention God’s love for her wish her a happy Easter.
The mechanic comes and we have a good chat, setting the world right, he is a very pleasant young man, tattoos, just split with his long time partner, struggling a bit financially. He tests the car and eventually replaces the battery. We go to part company , it has been a pleasure to meet him and I shake his hand and I offer to pray a blessing for him as we part. Similar in nature to the lady on the phone. I ask him what he experienced and he said “you made me feel warm inside “. I advise it wasn’t me , it was God showing him how much he loves him. He says “thank you so much, no one has ever done that for me before”. I look him in the eye and say “God loves you” and we part company.
It wasn’t a dramatic healing, salvation or deliverance, but people experiencing the presence of the Holy Spirit , nudging their faith along and upwards, hopefully eventually leading to salvation.
Simple to do. Few people turn down a prayer of blessing and the Lord can use it to show His love for them.
