I had been feeling that I needed to press into God deeply for several days. I went to a quiet place and prayed in the Spirit for several hours (“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all of Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:18 NIV).  During this time of prayer the Holy Spirit showed me a vision of a guy's face.  I thought to myself, "how would I recognize this guy if I saw him".  I did not see or hear anything else to go with the vision except his face.  After praying and worshiping.  I left and was headed home. Approximately 2 miles after leaving my prayer time I saw the guy from the vision standing on the side of the road in Catfish Charlies parking lot.  I drove past and my flesh started doubting that it was him.  The Holy Spirit said that this was him.  I turned around and went back and by this time he had crossed the road into Affinity Health clinic parking lot.  I drove by him very slow and my flesh said that it was not him.  So I drove off again.  (“Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.”
Romans 8:8 NIV) I drove down Louisville again and the Holy Spirit said "you know that is him, your just afraid that you might be wrong".  I did a U turn on Louisville Avenue.   I asked Jesus for the guy to still be there and he was.  I pulled up to him and told him about the vision.  He immediately started weeping.  He told me that him, his girlfriend and daughter where out looking for food.  I told him that God had more than food for him (“Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.”
Acts 3:6 NIV).  I told him what true repentance was and meant.  I explained how much that Jesus loved him.   I prayed with him to receive Jesus Christ into his heart.  He was still weeping. He called his mom to tell her about the good news but she did not believe it.  He had just gotten out of jail the week before.  He asked her to speak to me and I could hear her say no.  So I took the phone and told her that I didn't know her son and I told her about the vision and that I had just picked him up.  She began to weep and told me that she gave him over to God when he was 6 weeks old.  But at the age of 12 or 13 he started living for the flesh.  She was so excited.  She praised God and thanked Him.  Afterwards we picked his girlfriend and daughter up and went and bought them roughly 2 weeks' worth of groceries.  They were very humbled, excited and thankful.  I took them back to their apartment and prayed the blood of Jesus over their home. I encouraged them and left.  God touched their lives but He also deeply impacted mine.  The testimonies are not over for this opened up other doors of opportunities with his friend he is currently living with.  To be continued.  
Thanks, Cliff Bouwel
