Bill Yount: "Restaurants and Cafes Will Experience Holy Ghost Revival!" Matthew 9:10-12 says, "And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Jesus eating with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, 'How is it that He eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?' When Jesus heard it, He said unto them, 'They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.'" Recently, while eating with my family at a local restaurant, I sensed a major move of God's presence falling upon the place. It took me by surprise, but God spoke to me.... "Get used to this! I am beginning to bring a revival inside of restaurants and cafes through my people! I miss dining with publicans and sinners!" It Started as We were Saying Grace Over Our Food... We were saying "grace" over our food, then "MULTIPLIED GRACE" went airborne, blessing the food in the kitchen and every person in the restaurant! As our family was just sharing about the goodness of the Lord, His glory began to increase--filling the atmosphere. His presence was so strong that I knew it would linger long after we were gone! "God Spoke, "No Longer Tip the Waitress for Serving You...Bless Her with a Love Offering--For She is Actually Serving Me!" In the Spirit, I not only saw one person giving a tip to the waitresses, for service at their table, but I saw every person blessing the waitresses with a personal love offering! Many waitresses were shocked in unbelief--these love gifts were causing them to come under the power of God. As these love gifts were opening their hearts with thankfulness, many waiters and waitresses gladly were opening up to share their needs. This gave opportunity to ask if they could be prayed for to receive even a greater blessing from the Lord Himself! Many waiters and waitresses, through serving God's people, would eventually be saved and shine and bring great prosperity to their employers--turning many employers to the Lord. As a result, the Spirit of God in these restaurants and cafes would draw people far and near to 'taste and see that the Lord is good!'" Some Restaurant and Cafe Menus Offered "Prayer For The Sick" Many "publicans and sinners" would come just to sit and experience a love and peace that surpassed all their understanding! The lost would come because they heard of healings and miracles taking place. Along with their meal orders, they would often have a request for prayer for their sick bodies! "It's A Great Time to Invite Your Enemy Out to Lunch" Through my own experience, when Jesus told me to invite a certain enemy out to lunch, a powerful thing happened to both of us. I had heard that this person liked pizza, and so do I. After we got to the restaurant, I said grace to bless the pizza, and we didn't really talk much at all because we both loved pizza so much. I learned then why Jesus said, "Feed your enemies!" It was as though Jesus Himself pulled up a chair to our table and knocked the Jericho walls down between us as we simply ate together! We both realized later that we were actually having communion over that pizza! Eating together is a powerful weapon that brings a bonding between people! Esther knew the way to a king's heart was through his stomach. And this is one of the many methods she used to soften the king's heart toward her, and thereby her plea for the Jewish nation. It is also interesting that of all the things that Jesus could have chosen to do in His final moments with His disciples, He chose..."the last supper." Revelation 3:20 says, "Here I stand knocking at the door; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and sit down to supper with him and he with Me." He is still knocking on the door of our hearts to come and sup with us and reveal Himself more fully! The "unseen" guest at every meal is about to be seen!
