When the Holy Spirit leads you and guides you in a set direction, it is best to follow.
In a video on Facebook, Pastor Greg Locke shared an incredible encounter he had that was completely led by the Holy Spirit in one of the most unexpected places: the airport.
While Pastor Locke was heading to his gate, he passed by a small snack shop area when the Lord gave him a word for one of the women who worked there.

“I just kept on walking and I had my earbuds in; I was listening to worship music, just caught up in the presence of the Lord. And after I passed her I got that overwhelming sensation from the Holy Spirit,” Locke says.
He knew that God had a specific message for the woman, and that the Holy Spirit was asking him to go and share it with her.
“The Holy Spirit said, ‘you need to go back and give this lady this specific word, and it will change her life,'” Locke recounts.
While Locke doubted whether or not it was actually God giving him this word to share, he acted out of obedience and soon found himself speaking with her.
“I walked over and I said, ‘Ma’am, I know this is going to be strange but I have a question. When I passed you, the Lord wanted me to come back and say something to you…I feel like it’s either your mom or a mother figure in your life that’s extraordinarily sick. And you guys have been worried about her, and you’ve been praying for her healing,'” Locke says.
What happened next was completely a miraculous moment.
“She stopped me mid-sentence and said, ‘It’s my aunt,'” he recounts. “She raised me. She’s like my mother and I live with her.”
Seeing that this word was being confirmed, faith arose within Locke and he declared supernatural healing for this woman’s aunt.
“…supernatural healing is coming to your house. And your aunt will be raised up, and she will be healed.”
This word brought tears of joy to the woman as she could now expectantly believe that God was working on healing for her aunt.
In moments like these, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is not limited by place or time—He moves in power wherever He chooses, even in the middle of a bustling airport. Pastor Greg Locke’s obedience to the gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit opened the door for a divine encounter that brought hope, healing and a tangible reminder of God’s love to a woman who desperately needed it. This wasn’t just a random act of kindness; it was a supernatural appointment orchestrated by the Spirit of God, proving once again that when we listen, obey and respond, heaven touches earth in powerful ways.
Pastor Locke’s experience is a fresh reminder that we must remain sensitive to His leading, even in the most unexpected places. Because when we do, lives are changed, faith is stirred and the kingdom of God is advanced—one obedient step at a time.
