Treasure Hunting
6-9PM Thursdays
Meet at Kingdom Life Centre
Overview
Each person writes down Words of Knowledge in the spaces provided for each category.
Form groups of three or four.
Share the words of knowledge with the group
***Note: Each member keeps their own list - do not combine lists on a separate sheet.
Choose a beginning location (compare other clues on the way to your first location).
Start looking for the treasure.
When you find something on someone's Treasure Map …
Approach the person.
Say something like: "This may seem a little odd, but we ' re on a treas�ure hunt and we think you ' re on our list.
Show them the clue on your list that led you to them. (It may be one or two things from each list, or just one thing from one list.)
Build rapport. (Make friends-ask questions about them to get to know them.)
Let them know that God has highlighted them, and wants to bless them.
Pay attention for things that you can help them with, and ask if you can pray for them.
If they say "No" ...
Build more rapport (common ground-friendship).
Ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to highlight about the person.
Ask the person why they think God is highlighting them (remember God is wanting to turn them by His kindness)
Give them some encouraging words (prophesy) without being religious.
Ask again if you can pray for them.
If they say "No"-Bless them and proceed to the next Treasure (Person).
If they say "Yes" (especially for healing) ...
Ask for the presence of God to come. (Release His presence on them.)
Command the pain to leave, bones to be set, back to be ' realigned, tumor to shrink, etc.
Ask them to test it out: "Do something that you couldn ' t do before we prayed."
Repeat if necessary.
When they are healed, or you have blessed them through prophetic words …
Explain what just happened (the kindness of God revealed-He knows you and cares about you, etc.).
Ask them if they would like to know Jesus personally (have a relationship with Him).
Help them to ask Jesus into their life.
Ask if you could make contact with them through the week to see how they are going. If so, share contact details with them.
Go to the next Divine Appointment on the Treasure Map!
Using the Treasure Map
Appendix A (The Ultimate Treasure Hunt)
1. Keep your Treasure Map at a size that is not too conspicuous. Try and keep it down to about A5 folded, but fold it in a way that keeps your clues visable.
3. Make sure each Treasure Hunter keeps their map available and accessible to each person on the team. Many clues are found by looking on another team member ' s map.
4. Do not put the map in your pocket, backpack, or purse. You know the saying, "Out of sight, out of mind." Most people who do not find Treasure are the ones who do not use their map consistently.
5. The Treasure Map is like a puzzle, requiring concentration and creativity to put together.
6. You can approach someone who only has one clue on your Map. Often, you will find that they possess other clues once you begin to build rapport and ask penetrating questions.
7. Utilize creativity and imagination. For example, "post office" could be a mailbox, a mail delivery person, a mail store, the post office, or even a letter that someone is about to mail. A person ' s name could mean a friend, relative, an acquaintance who needs prayer, reconciliation, or some other point of significance, or certainly could be the name of the person you have approached.
8. Once you find the clues, make sure you show them the map. Remember, for most people, "Seeing is believing."
9. Approach people in twos or threes at the most. A large group can be intimidating. It is also less threatening for the person you are approaching if the genders are mixed. I usually do not like to take more than five people on a Treasure Hunt because normally five can fit into one vehicle easily. Out of the group, I will also choose two of one gender and three of the other.
10. Children are great to have on Treasure Hunts.
They are less threatening, and often have much better "out of the box" creativity to find clues.
11. Do not split your group of five up for more than one encounter. Work as a team and continually touch base, checking your clues and changing the team members who are approaching potential Treasures.
12. The instructions for conducting a divine encounter are on the opposite side of the initial fold you made with your map. Have each person on the team read these instructions before launching out.
13. Once you have a divine encounter with someone, write the testimony on the back of the Map. Keep them for later encouragement of what God has done through you, and what He will do.

A Healing Ministry Model
Appendix B (The Ultimate Treasure Hunt)
GETTING STARTED
- Ask the person to briefly tell you: what's wrong or what do they want?
- If appropriate, ask them if you can place your hand on the area that needs healing (optional).
- Ask for God's presence (His Kingdom to come).
- Listen for the Holy Spirit's promptings to pray in certain ways and various strategies (take risk).
- Look for visible signs/manifestations (noticing what God is doing in and on them).
- Ask them if they are feeling any sensations going on in their body (heat, cold, peace, electricity, etc.).
- Ask them to check it out/to do something they couldn't do before (try to find the pain they experienced before).
- If healed, rejoice with them and give praise to God.
- Encourage them to get a doctor's report.
IF NO BREAKTHROUGH IN HEALING ...
- Thank God for anything that is going on. (Thankfulness often releases greater breakthrough.)
- Pray for increase and thank Him for the increase of His presence and healing.
- Declare healing promises over them (Scriptures, testimonies).
- Repeat steps 7 through 9.
IF PAIN GETS WORSE OR MOVES AS YOU'RE PRAYING ...
- Possible spirit of affliction/infirmity.
- Take authority over the spirit (you do not need to yell).
- Release more healing presence.
IF NO BREAKTHROUGH OR PAIN INCREASES ...
- Ask them if there may be someone they need to forgive.
- If yes, ask them to forgive them out loud.
- If no, pray again, and release more of God's presence on them.
- Begin to prophesy hope and destiny over them (some people do not feel worthy to be healed).
- Ask them to check it out again (do something they could not do before-something that caused pain).
IF STILL NO BREAKTHROUGH ...
- Always encourage them that God is good and is in a good mood.
- Always encourage them to continue to pursue breakthrough (when we pray, His Kingdom comes, and when His Kingdom comes, good things happen, because He is a good God in a good mood).
- Encourage them to give thanks for what they do see or feel, even if they have only experienced a small measure of breakthrough.
- Always bless them.
- Never lay the responsibility on them, even if they are resistant to healing and have no or little faith.
- Let the Holy Spirit do His work.
