I was at Cheddars eating dinner with a few friends, just enjoying being together over dinner. I finished paying and walked out of the restaurant. A man was standing to my right, smoking a cigarette. As I walked out he said to me, "Are you wearing a green peacoat?", I said, "No, it's grey." And he said, "That's weird, it looks green in this light." I thought to myself, "I should probably try and get a word for this guy seeing as he is randomly talking to me." As I was thinking that, I felt the Presence of God on my shoulders and a sharp, pinching pain in the bottom right side of my back. I ask him his name and then said, "Hey man, do you have pain in your shoulders that kinda goes into the bottom of your back with a sharp pinching pain there?" He looked at me astonished and said, "Yeah, I do have pain in my shoulders and I have sciatic nerve damage in the lower right part of my back." And then I said, "Well, this is probably going to sound weird but sometimes God gives me sensations in my body when He wants to move in healing, and I was feeling that pain and I feel like He wants to heal you. Can I pray for you?" At this point my friend had walked out and I introduced him to the guy and then we laid hands on him and prayed. I prayed for healing, releasing the Presence of God on his shoulders and lower back and my friend gave the man a prophetic word about favor in the work place and with his manager that the man seemed touched by. After we were done with our short prayers I told the man to test it out and move his back around, he started moving his back around, twisting it and bending over and he said all the pain was God! I told him God loved him and for him to have an awesome day. The kingdom is at hand, even when we're eating a leisurely dinner with friends!
