I told you how I love my Holy Spirit adventures right? Yesterday morning along with a few stops during the day were all a part of my adventure with Holy Spirit yesterday. You gotta go on adventures with Him, the only way to go. I knew to be by the community pool near opening time, so I think I got there around 9:08AM. Now don't laugh at this but I have a routine when I go to the pool to read. Would you like to know what it is? I do not know the people that go to the pool and what spiritual status they are walking in their lives that occupy the chaise lounge and chair I select for the day. I am pretty cautious about germ spreading to. I bring a can of disinfectant spray with me and before I put the beach towel on the chaise lounge, I spray it with disinfectant then put the towel down. I also recently started adding this to my prayer time/deliverance ministry time poolside. I used to just say no transference of any evil, yucky, ugly spirits come upon me when I sit in the chair or lay down in the chaise lounge. You do know you need to be cautious that other people's stuff does not transfer onto you right. It was a few weeks ago Holy Spirit gave me further insight on this topic while I was at the pool. I still take authority in what I just shared but this is the beauty in the additional prayer ... I deposit the anointing within me to transfer on the people that select that chaise lounge or chair. It goes something like this ... the anointing has been deposited on those pieces of furniture and if a non-believer or sinner chooses those pieces, they will get a conviction to turn from their sins and get to a place where they will get born again. Now wait, there is more ... the next layer is if a born-again believer selects these pieces of furniture that the anointing deposited there will cause them to have Holy Spirit experiences and Holy Spirit anointing will grow in them. Isn't that so clever, only Holy Spirit can show you insight like that.
An older in age man and woman come to the pool and walk past looking for the direction they will be seated at the pool. I think I said good morning to them and all of a sudden, I say to the man, do people tell you that you look like Ted Cruz, facial wise that is? He replied no to that, and I told him it was a compliment. I kept reading my book and they find a spot at the pool and begin to play Christian music. See, mature people will be courteous enough to ask if it is ok to play the music. I responded yes and acknowledged it was Christian music and I gave the thumbs up to increase the volume of the music. I brought with me to the pool a workbook by James Goll, Deliverance from Darkness and I was working through it. I love workbooks like this when you have to find the answers to the questions. As I am getting ready to leave the pool because I had other places to go to, I walked over to thank them for playing the Christian music and how I see that people should be gathering around the pool and praying and people getting water baptized in the pool. It opened up a discussion and they told me about a church in the city I reside in that has once a month worship gathering in the city square outside on a Friday night. I did some looking into this and apparently whatever money is raised from these events funds blessing the various schoolteachers in the community with a lunch or breakfast on a certain day. How beautiful is that the hands and feet of Jesus taking the love of Jesus into the schools to bless them.
I go home and get ready to go on my stops for the day. Oh, I see someone from the leasing office, and we talk about the Japanese beetles. Guess what? I think I just might be a hope solutionist because the pest control person is supposed to order for them some of those traps, I put out near me. We were looking over an area to possibly place one by the pool somewhere since I already read the directions on my trap package about placement. Downwind and 30 feet away from the flowering plants. Later that evening when I was sharing with a few neighbors about my pool adventure one of them said to me do you think you putting out the beetle trap has helped the crape myrtle trees because they noticed on the property that they are now all blooming. It is possible because the trap is supposed to cover 5,000 square feet. Oh, a few weeks ago I shared with the pest control person about these beetle traps and showed him what they look like outside. He said he was going to recommend it for another property he takes care of also. So, I recently asked him about it and guess what, it worked. He said their problem was June bugs not the beetles with a magnolia tree, but the trap also attracted the June bugs. I told him at the time to suggest it and that he should get the credit for the great solution idea he gave the other rental property. This property is a very nice place. Off to The YardSale Store because they had a buyout of Frito Lays snack boxes. 40 variety snacks in the box for 9.99. I purchased one for the snack drawer at work but there was so much supply I shared it with neighbors that evening. They even gave me a 5% discount because I inquired that the best buy date was 7/26/2022. I actually got them for 9.49. That night I took the opened box to two neighbors on my floor and said the snack person is here and did they want any for their lunches before I took them into work. Both neighbors took from the bounty of blessings. Let's see what the choices in the box were: regular and barbeque Lays chips, nacho Doritos, regular and chili cheese Fritos, Funyuns, Ruffles sour cream & onion, and Cheetos crunchy. Pretty good variety what do you think. I pulled out a few for me to have too and there is still many left to take into work. Wouldn't you like me working for your company, I create a snack drawer to bless my boss' and co-workers. A few weeks ago, I placed in the drawer a bag of Russell Stover's individually wrapped, pecan, hazelnut and sea salt pecan caramel chocolates. Last week when I checked the drawer there were only 2 left so I know people are enjoying them. Just because I create the snack drawer doesn't mean I am the only one that can place items in it, anyone is welcome to add to it to and people do, isn't that sweet? No one collects any money for this it is just a blessing drawer as I see it.
I also had to go to HomeGoods store in search of cute cupcake/muffin liners because this week I was going to bake muffins to bring into work. I used Betty Crocker muffin mixes, but I added to each batter. The triple berry mix I chopped up fresh raspberries and the chocolate chip mix I added white chocolate chips and some mini chocolate chips too. These liners are so cute, they are the paper type of liner with a blue-sky background and sunflowers on them. This was a box of 50 (25 of each design) for 4.99. I baked them last night. I did check the clearance section first, but the two choices just were not fit for work, 1 being to bless schoolteachers and the other was for Father's Day theme.
In between my afternoon stops I came home and watched the replay of the recent Trump rally on Newsmax and then off to Ollies. I was in search of a bug zapper they had in their weekly ad. I purchased a solar powered one and said not sure if it will catch the flies on the patio but that is ok if it doesn't work as long as you keep your receipt you have 30 days to return it. I am talking with my friend as I was heading home and shared about my God appointed encounters this past week when I watched replay videos of a class, I participated in 2020. Also invited her and her almost 91-year-old mother to come to the pool on the weekend but the catch is it has to be when the pool opens about 9AM sometime because I do not go out there when it gets really hot and crowded with people too because it does as the day progresses. Oh, as I was heading to one of my stops, I noticed a local pastor of a church and his wife were driving right behind me. I just kept worshiping in my car to BeBe & Cici Winans as I drove. So, my friend mentions if I would baptize her in the pool sometime? I responded I don't really go in the pool but for her I would because how do you baptize a person when you are not in the water with them. We talked about how you cannot force someone to do this, and I shared how my life changed even more so when I was water baptized as an adult. She said she would let me know when the time was right for her.
Are you following along in this sequence of events throughout the day yesterday? It all builds upon in layers to then bring these experiences into place to get to the person they are intended to share with. I told you I have great adventures with Holy Spirit. Oh, I had to stop in a local Walmart to take some info to drop off to someone I know that attends a local church I used to attend. We chit chat briefly as I am going through the checkout lane as she checks out my groceries I am buying. I wrote down the connector info and handed it to her while I was sharing about a minister that wrote a book, I purchased about the meanings of fragrances of God you smell, color meanings and also the meaning of trees too. I think that about covers my yesterday. It is almost 4AM here on 7/24/2022 and my face feels a bit warm, maybe I got a bit too much sun yesterday and will not go to the pool today this morning. I will watch live stream Jimmy Swaggart ministry church service though and I have a few pieces of clothing that need ironing too. I already made a fresh batch of unsweet green mint tea I keep in the refrigerator that is so refreshing to drink on a high temperature day outside.
