Our group came up with many clues: red t-shirt, red hat, black shoes, named Jim, a picture of a particular park, a picture of a military tank, a back problem, a beard, Starbucks, and the feeling that someone would approach us. So we set out for the park that we saw a vision of. At the park we saw few people but felt we should pray for the park and the daycare next to the park. Seeing noone by the description at the park, we felt we should walk up the street. As we walked, one of our group members saw a man leaving the library who was an exact match to all of the physical characteristics that we felt. Three of the guys in the group stopped and talked to him, and found out his name was Jim!!! He had a back injury and other injuries from a military accident, and his family is homeless. Since he was in a hurry, we took the name of his family members and agreed to pray for him. I can only believe Jim was as much in awe as us when we knew his name before he said it, as well as about his injury to his back.
That was followed up by the ladies in the group walking down another street and finding a Starbucks, where they first prayed for a man that they met. After that, as the were leaving, they were approached by 2 young ladies who were doing a survey for a Philosophy class, on what people thought was "the meaning of life". They all got into a conversation and prayed for the girls who were doing the survey, as well as sharing what we felt the meaning of life was.
How awesome to have such strong confirmation that God hears your voice and also speaks to us when we approach him with a pure heart just wanting to do his work.
