I visited L and N pods two nights ago.
First stop was a guy in a wheel-chair in the rec-area. Prayed for his knee. He has been shot by the police. He was reluctant to receive healing for the knee, asked that I instead pray for him in terms of his spiritual condition and favor.
Next, I played chess and got beat (barely) with a crowd watching. Sat down with 3 other guys, and has some breakthrough with them in terms of helping them support and encourage each other. One guy said “now I know why I was here today, it’s all coming together”. That was encouraging.
Left L, passed by M and walked into N. Met about 5 guys from my Thursday class, and met a new guy in there, he was in for breaking parole. Funny thing is, 6 days earlier I met him in McDonalds, we spoke, and I had invited him to church. He told me he would be there, and I believed him. He was arrested before Sunday, but God saw fit to put us together again.
An old guy hobbled up and I asked him if he was in pain. He said he ALWAYS is in pain. He was also reluctant to have me pray for him, but I asked him to show me what hurt, something he couldn’t do without pain. He tried to touch his toes, and couldn’t. Prayed for him, some pain left, and he easily touched his toes. Prayed for him again, and all the pain left and he was able to easily touch the floor. The other guys thought that was cool. I did too.
