Part 11

So, there I was on Miami Avenue.  When I didn't find the owners of the cars with the fat whitewall tires I had just seen, I started walking back to my car.  On my way back, I recognized a man whom I've known for a while eating at Althea's Restaurant.  He doesn't attend The Bridge, but he was waving at me.  Now, this wasn't a "hey, how are you" kind of wave.  It was a "I've got something to tell you so come here" kind of wave.  I walked across the street to where he was.

We exchanged pleasantries and he asked me to stay for lunch.  I politely refused because I was on my way to meet Amy.  And then he said it.  Friends, what I'm about to tell you came right after the Vision Night word that I had just received the night before, and it also came right after the meeting with the city that I had just come out of and was feeling kind of discouraged about.

He looked me dead in the eye and said, "The reason I called you over is that I have a word from God for you."  I said, "OK" and then he said to me, "This is what the Lord wanted you to know.  Don't be discouraged.  Don't be afraid.  I have great plans for you concerning My Kingdom.  Don't be discouraged.  Don't be afraid."

When he finished speaking to me, I had nothing to say.  The man then said, "I don't know if you can use that but if you can, it's yours."  I said, "Do you have any idea what I'm going through?"  He said, "No, not at all.  Look the hair on my arms is standing on end.  I never eat at this restaurant and I never eat by myself."  I interrupted him and said, "I never walk down Miami Avenue!"  He continued, "But, I knew I was supposed to be here today and when I saw you, I knew I was supposed to give that word to you."  I told him that I can definitely use that word. 

For me, it was unmistakable that I had a second word from God within a 24 hour period.  What do you do with that?  You sit back, hold on tight, and watch God beautifully work!
