The Lord had me fast for three days prior to hitting the streets; and He led me to travel light, and dress like a hobo, so the experience would be real. After a short walk, the Lord directed me to a wheelchair bound woman. She was pulling herself along with her feet; and I offered help. She declined the help, but accepted a gospel track, and said she knew Jesus. Her face lit up, when she said this. The Lord's presence was so strong when I walked away, I began to weep.
My bag was starting to get heavy after a couple of hours of walking, and I rested at a bus stop. Shortly after this, the Lord directed me to use a shopping cart, that was parked by the sidewalk. I didn't want to use a cart, (because of pride); but followed the leading, and discovered a cup of ice water in the basket, with big chunks of ice, that quenched an awful thirst. The Lord led me to go thirsty before this. This was miracle one. The cart made the trek much easier, and had four good wheels, chrome handle bars; and could do wheelies over the curbs. <{:-)
Shortly after this; the Lord told me to rummage through garbage cans in front of people, like the homeless do. This was difficult to do, and was humiliating, knowing people were watching me. I removed the food, and placed it in my cart.
The Lord put this part of Prophecy #85; received by Ray Aguilera on 11 June 92 in my mind; [The Father is speaking]- {'But do you reach out for My Saints in the street that are eating garbage, that are sleeping on the floor in the streets with no clothes, with nothing to eat? I am holding every Pastor, every Priest, every Officer that has an office in the Body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth responsible'.}

Note: I ate some of the scavenged food; but after feeling ill, I threw it away.
After pushing my cart for about 4 hours, a homeless man gave me directions to the nearest shelter. The shelter was a long walk, but I arrived five minuets before it opened. I believed this was from the Lord, to place me here at this time. I met a homeless man named Johnny, and we tried to check into the shelter, but was turned away. Me and Johnny hooked up, and traveled the streets together. I shared with Johnny, and told him why I was out here.
The Lord put this portion of Prophecy #94, received by Ray Aguilera on 16 June in my mind, while talking to Johnny: [The Father is speaking]-{'You have so many problems. I am sorry to say no one is really helping each other in the manner that was directed in the Bible. Everybody is going their own way. You're so worried about Doctrine. You're so worried about being accepted, by the in group in your Church. I want you to be in the in group with the homeless, the hungry, the sick. That's the in group. That's the group that Christ came to help: The ones who had no one; the ones who smell when you approach them; the ones that are so skinny they are falling on their face; the ones who are freezing at night because they are sleeping in the streets; the ones that the demons have gotten so wrapped into drugs and sex and they don't know what to do'}

I told Johnny this; and he was moved to share his suffering.
Johnny shared with me the depth of his suffering on the streets; and I had to be reduced to a hobo, to hear and feel his pain. We parted ways, and I retraced my route. After several hours of pushing my cart, stopping and resting, and reading the bible; I realized my water supply was low, and wouldn't make it through the night.I prayed: "Lord I need water; I am almost out". Within a block, I looked in a trash can, and found a store bought water bottle/a third full. This was another miracle.
It was getting late, my legs and feet were hurting; and I wanted to find a place to sleep. While passing a vacant lot, I was stopped in my tracks; and locked onto a tree sitting back about 30 yards. The tree had branches going to the ground, and they formed a small room, with a soft bed of pine needles. This spot provided a quiet place away from the road, and privacy. This was another little miracle.
Sleeping in this spot, was as good as many in my own room; and stayed until 9am. I had Communion that night, and prayed for Johnny.
Note: At about 3am, I was awakened by what sounded like someone walking outside my camp; and when I looked through the branches there was nobody in the lot; so I went back to sleep.
The long walk back to El Sobrante, provided the opportunity to read Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes. My breaks went from bus stop, to bus stop. I returned to my vehicle at the 24th hour, and had one drink of water left in the bottle. (note: started with a quart of water).
This testimony was shared to give Glory to the Lord, and not man. Your prayers were felt in earnest. I was protected, provided for, and was led by the Lord. There were many lessons taught, and I'll ponder them prayerfully for a long time. Thank You for your prayer support.
Final Note: The Lord gave me these scriptures before and during the 24 hours:
Math. 10: 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."
1 Peter 5: 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Lord directed me to add this passage: John the Baptist is speaking.
John
3:29 "He who has the bride is the bridegroom;
but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly
because of the bridegroom's voice. And so this joy of mine has been made
full.
30
"He must increase, but I must decrease.
31
"He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the
earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
