I was very neutral walking into the situation not having knowledge of backdrop
details, only snippets of observations and overheard comments. My first
impression of Daniel was that of an angry little thug. But, I also thought he
must have felt awkward while his grandmother was giving us a summary of
his behavior in his hearing and us talking around him. At the moment my
thinking was of information gathering only when asking him “what he thought
of his grandmother’s comments?” to which he replied “I’m feeling very anxious”.
Then when asked “If he was interested in changing the course of his life?”....
he broke into his grandmother’s arms! While at the time my questions seemed
only interrogatory, in hindsight, given their effect I think maybe those questions
were orchestrated by The Holy Spirit. Then as I had been praying prior to our
trip for us to operate in unison according to our spiritual gifting’s, one by one
Daniel was ministered to according to The Holy Spirit’s directed Breeze. When
I was praying for him, a similar aura fell over me to that of when praying over
my grandson Trenton on his 13th BD. In that room it felt as if we were engulfed
in God’s Glory Cloud! Later that evening at the alter I felt prompted to pray
again over Daniel for a godly Father figure to enter his life to mentor, mold,
coach and rebuke. Having now written this, I’m feeling compelled to continue
lifting Daniel in prayer and looking forward to learning of his progress.
Peace,
