While we
mere ministering on the street, two drunk young men came and interrupted
us (myself and our visitor from Scotland). One of them,
especially, seemed to be laughing, taking
the presence of God lightly. But the Lord was intent on pouring out His
goodness. The Holy Spirit decided to
“play”, too. I felt the Holy Spirit “rise up” within me. I
felt like a “living puppet”. Willingly choosing to yield to His will, I
told the man, “Stand up. The Lord wants to show you that this is
real. The wind of the Spirit is going to blow on you.” The young man started falling backwards.
He exclaimed to his friend, “I feel this
wind blowing inside of me.” Then, he started taking things seriously. God’s
fire fell on them. Our visitor and I both began to pray. The young man’s friend was willing to pray for
salvation. They both hung around until the end of the night, praising God
and encouraging others to hear the word of God and receive prayer.
Honestly, I
think I was more amazed than the drunk young man. I pray that we may
carry His heart, and be challenged in our own personal unbelief that keeps us
from submitting to the grace of God that can touch people in the depths of
their hearts. More than anything, we long to know our God and experience
Him (John 17:21-23, John 15:4-5).
Love,
Tyren and Tiffany Haynes
