We never fully know the fruit of our small acts of obedience, though sometimes God does give us a small glimpse. DelCo Alliance (in Ohio) shares its meeting space with a local ministry called the Dream Center, which serves the underserved and unseen in our community.
Through our positive organizational relationship, our church has equipped some Dream Center leaders and volunteers with skills not traditionally part of their repertoire: healing prayer, prophetic listening, and deliverance from the demonic. Did they need to know this to pass out groceries? Probably not. But we had sensed a need for Delaware to experience the power of the Spirit for this time.
Fast-forward a few months, and the Dream Center receives a call from a family they serve. Strange things are happening in their home: floating objects, seeing strange figures at night, the whole deal. Not good. Upon gathering a few brave volunteers, they were able to discern immediately that there were demons in the house. On top of that, one of the volunteers received a word from the Lord for the father of the family, with specific knowledge about their life that was turned into encouragement. On top of THAT, they find out this family has never heard the good news of Jesus before!
At the end of the day, disciples and leaders were equipped, a house was cleared of the demonic, a whole family was ushered into the Kingdom, and God was glorified. Thanks be to God to let us see even a small amount of our small steps of obedience.
