In the Lord's Field with Grandson by Tim Smith

12/31/2016

As I was driving to work Thursday 12/29/16 listening to a Damon Thompson podcast the thought
occurred to me, I believe by inspiration of The Holy Spirit (Jn. 10:27), to take my twelve year old
grandson Trenton to the hospital and walk the halls praying for people. Upon this thought entering
my head I began praying in both understanding and the spirit (1Cor. 14:15) for God to guide me
through this door of opportunity. That evening Trenton and I went out to eat together chatting about
movies he’d recently been watching, how he’s doing in school and getting his Christmas weights and
bench setup for workouts. When we left the restaurant he asked why I was driving this way and I told
him that I needed him to help me with something. That’s when he began to squirm asking a lot of
questions between me formulating sixth grade level explanations and analogies for how diversity of
spiritual gifting’s are complementary when brought together (Rom. 12:5) to operate in God’s Kingdom
purposes and how he and I are not only Grandfather and Grandson, but also Brothers in Christ. All this
being seasoned by his retorts of how he had his ‘time planned out’ and ‘yea Papa but you’re not telling
me anything about what we’re doing yet’ and ‘I know you Papa and I’m getting nervous and my stomach is starting to knot up’ and other stuff like that. Normal twelve year old boy mental switchgear chattering in an attempt to throw sand into the gear-mesh…that’s what I’m thinking anyway. Since timing seemed to be his jugular issue I agreed we would leave after praying for the third person (three in biblical numerology signifies completion or perfection, and unity). So Praise be to God we get into the hospital lobby and after Trenton’s second restroom visit, Brothers Gary Lively and James Morris join us. Gary and James both encouraged Trenton with assurance that he would witness God’s hand at work through His servant’s prayers. Brother Gary prayed over us all before hitting the halls and we asked Trenton to pray silently while our prayers were being verbalized over others. Trenton accompanied our prayers and as agreed after we had prayed for the third person we left. When we got home Trenton excitedly told his Granny that we had been to the hospital praying for people and that he felt good about doing so! What a privilege to experience the exhilaration of joining God on adventure in His Fields of Harvest with my Grandson and looking forward to our next field trip with Jesus!

I called Randy Causey today; he told me two stories. The youth pastor came to him
and asked if he would disciple him. Today was their first luncheon. One of the men in his
men’s group came to him in October and asks if Randy would pray for him a friend to date.
This was a young man and his wife had died about 9 years ago. Since they have prayed
he has met someone and is going steady. ​

A Testimony by Robert Lindsay

A story of yeastier years. When David my son was in Jr. High he played the trumpet in the band. One evening they were having a concert and we got there early so I could get a seat up front. The concert was held in a gymnasium on a hardwood floor and the seats were metal folding chairs. There was a fellow worker setting behind me and as he looked at the back of my head, the way my hair was combed and my head up it had a pointed look. The thought came to him to lean over to his wife and say, “Look at that pointed headed paper maker.” As he thought of this he came to the conclusion that this is a man of God and I had better not. But the longer he thought of it, he couldn’t resist. This is the story that he told the next day at work. I leaned over to tell his wife, at that moment the metal chair broke and he found himself lying on the floor horizontally on top of this chair that was laying flat. The noise was so loud that it stopped everything. I looked around to see him trying to get up and said to myself, “How embarrassing.” The next day at work he spread the news, “be careful about what you say about Robert Lindsay. His name is Danny and he still has a lot of respect for me.

Ginger and I went over to spend the week-end with Kristi for her birthday on the 5th.
I went over to IHOP for Breakfast very early.  Along the way I was worshiping God and
praying in the Spirit and felt the presence of God. Before leaving I heard the Holy Spirit
say to me to ask the waitress this question, “Where are you going in your life and
where will you be in ten years.” She said that she was in nursing school and she wanted
to travel. I began to encourage her in God and told her that no one loved her like her
parents and that the best thing she could do is to hear their advice. Afterward she said
“You have made my day.” Later she came by and I ask if I could pray for her, she said
yes and rather than pray the Spirit of prophesy came over me and I encouraged her in
prophesy. She was waving at me as I left. Her name was Heather.

God was speaking to Tim about seeing and feeling God’s love. He said, "God wanted
him to let this love flow through me to others." On the following Friday of that week
Tim had lunch with his daughter and she made him aware of this lady who had three
daughters who was in need of prayer for her middle daughter who had a cyst on her
back. Tim said, "Let’s pray for her right now." While he was praying he felt chill bumps
come over his body which was followed by a warm wave of emotion. Tim knew that
she was struggling financially and asked if she had any financial help coming in. There
was none. As Tim got into his car these emotions continued and he started weeping.
Then the thought came to him about the sacrifice that Jesus had made for him. Then the
thought came to him that he was to give his tithe to her and not a gift out of his personal
finances. As he was wrestling with all these thoughts that were coming into him, the Lord
wanted him to give her $1,000.00. Back in his office with his hands raised to the Lord and
worshiping and weeping. Then the thought came to him that he didn’t need to use his tithe
money to do that, just pay your tithe to the church and obey God and everything will be OK.
Tim elected to believe that he had heard from God. This was God’s answer to his prayer
of God extending His love to him. Tim went to the bank and drew out 10, $100.00 bills and
put it in an envelope. Tim went to see the lady and ask if he could pray for her and that he
believed that God had spoke to him to give her some money. When the prayer was over
both were crying. He took the envelope and put it on her desk and told her not to open it until
he left. That afternoon his daughter called him and said Lesley wants to talk to him. She said
that the night before she had been praying and asking God how was she going to pay for
all of these Dr. bills?  She turned it all over to God. After opening the envelope she went into
the rest room, got down on her knees and gave thanks. Then the Lord confirmed to Tim that
this wasn’t his tithe and this it was to be given above his tithe. Can you imagine the effect that
this is having on Tim’s family? Praise God!

We made 10 Gallons of Chili.  All of it was served.  We saw a man with serious back
issues get healed right there on the spot.  Mike Clark's daughter was very instrumental
in this.  She actually brought a level of faith that I believe the Lord honored and used to
teach me.  I prayed for the guy first about an hour prior to her showing up.  I didn't ask
him to check it out to see if it was better; hoping he would just volunteer that it felt better. 
He didn't do that.  When Abby arrived she was ready to see God move.  
I had her pray again for the man.  He was visibly moved... She posted it on her Facebook
page.  Seems like he said he had a disc removed and replaced; rod and screws involved. 
He had mobility issues.  I'm telling you the guy was rocked with Joy.  Also, there were two
Mormon Missionaries watching the whole event.  The guy who was healed ended up giving
the 2 Mormon missionaries a ride somewhere after they left the Boy's / Girls Club..  Really
seems to be a rich / fertile area for us to minister like we do in foreign countries. 
There is more of an openness there!!!
 
God Bless!!!

At the Ridge Crest Nursing Home; Janice told me about her son-in-law who had an affair
on her daughter. It destroyed the marriage. I had prayed earlier for her daughter at the
nursing home. That day I had spoke on forgiveness not knowing that she would be there
and was bitter. Now the son-in-law has gotten saved has become a dynamic witness for
the Lord and the family is reunited. Janice will be having Thanksgiving with them. Our Lord
Jesus is answering some of the things that we have been praying for, for many years.

When I went into the Church last night the first person I saw was Tim Smith. The first
thing he said was, “Guess what I did this morning in the shower?” I said what. He said
“I worshiped the Lord, it was good.” I said be careful you will be speaking in tongues
before long. He said I want to talk to you about that. After the meeting we walked out
together and I invited him to worship the Lord together with me in the van. We spent
some time worshiping and he sensed the peace and presence of God filled the van.
Afterward he began to laugh and I did also, it was the Joy of the Lord coming upon us.
He said that he was learning where his spirit was and how to let words come out of his spirit.

I stopped by the Shell station on the way to meet Curt for breakfast. It was there I met
Jim Adkins. Jim was hired at the mill as a safety director several years before I left. He
was implementing some safety issues which we had never worked under before. To
change the mindset of 800 men is like insisting Americans to wear seat belt. His
resoluteness was up to the task. He became unpopular and eventually gotten fired. It
took a long time for him to find another Job. When he came into the station he began
to give me his testimony of how the Lord had helped him out of a sever depression.
This all came as a surprise to me. I had not seen him in 11 years. On my hard hat at
the mill was written “Jesus is Lord” which I wore for 34 years. I supposed that he wanted
to share with me. After telling me his story he asked what I was doing now. He took my
cell number and wants to visit!

On the way out of the nursing home today; (I had been holding a service there
on Mondays.) I noticed a well dressed young black lady filling out an application.
I felt the nudge of the Holy Spirit to pray for her. I sat next to her and started
talking to her. Her heart was toward her future and that God had a plan for her.

I ask if I could pray for her. She agreed and I prayed; she was grateful.
