Taste and see that the Lord is good!

While at a conference, I went out to dinner and the Lord told me to buy another meal; He then told me that He would reveal to whom I was to give it. I purchased a meal that was identical to mine and asked the server to box it to go. I left the restaurant and a couple of blocks later encountered a homeless man. I felt led to approach him; when I did, he told me that he was hungry and asked me if I could help him out. I handed him the meal and blessed him as he quickly and excitedly left my presence. The next day I ran into him once again. This time, he approached me and told me that he hadn’t properly thanked me; then he gave me a hug. We were right in front of a hotel where some young people were worshiping God. A few minutes later they had set up a “fire tunnel” in order to bless people, as they passed through, with the love of God through prayer, prophetic words and the laying on of hands. I asked my new friend if he was interested to go through the “fire tunnel” with me. Before he could answer, one of the young people took ahold of him and led him through the “fire tunnel”. When he came out, he was radiant and excitedly told me that he was going to “do it again”. The next time he came out he was full of the joy of the Lord! He then exclaimed that he was going to go get his kids and bring them back to go through the “fire tunnel”. I didn’t see him again after that but I know that my obedience was instrumental in seed planting as well as an extension of God’s love. Praise God!
While in the checkout line at the supermarket, I felt led to pay for an older gentleman’s food; he was in the checkout line in front of me. I initiated contact with a smile and asked about his day. He told me that things were OK, elaborated a little and then said that it could be better. I then told him that I would like to pay for his groceries, he was befuddled but agreed and I then swiped my card. His face lit up and he thanked me as he proceeded toward the parking lot. When I was finished at the register, I too proceeded towards the parking lot. I encountered him once again prior to the parking lot and he was choked up and once again thanked me. I blessed him and told him to have a great day. Later that afternoon, I received an email from a friend. She had been at the same supermarket later that day and encountered the same gentleman; his wife is an employee of that supermarket. He regaled her with the tale of the man in the line behind him who had paid for his groceries earlier that day; he then described my physical appearance. My friend told the man that she knew me. As they conversed, the man told her that my purchasing his groceries had been an answer to his prayers from the night before. She told him that we don’t always see how we touch others lives. Praise God for His perfect plan!
A woman called and we had a conversation about the goodness of God, His provisions and revelations. She told me that her husband, although saved, is unhappy and unfulfilled. I asked her if I could pray with her about her husband’s present state and she agreed. I spoke a release, by His Holy Spirit, of peace, joy and love – that he would feel the presence of God and that a shift would take place in his heart and mind. The woman tearfully thanked me an told me that I “made her day”. Praise God for giving me the words and the wisdom to impart!
My wife, Laurie and I were spending the night in Philadelphia, PA. The hotel in which we were staying was located in close proximity to the train station known as Penn Station/Reading Terminal. We went out to dinner and we both ordered lasagna, the portions were immense. When we had finished our meal, each of us had approximately 1/2 of the portion remaining. The waitress asked if we would like a “doggie bag”, and we said “yes” knowing that we had to walk right by the Penn Station/Reading Terminal. Like many train stations, there were a number of homeless people in the vicinity. We had no trouble finding a person who needed a meal and blessed her with a lasagna dinner. She was very excited and grateful.
