This
past week was an awesome move of God in the people we have been
working with! At a weekend home show here in Ft. Myers, we had the
privilege of working with a very nice man that we have done several
events with over the past many months.
I began
witnessing to him, and little by little, he listened and was open to
hear the gospel. I could see he has hurt in his heart, and that he
was tender and open to hear the good news about a loving relationship
with Jesus. We have a wonderful picture of me talking with him, but
for privacy sake, I am not including it here.
We were
working with him greeting seniors all day Saturday and Sunday this
past weekend. Every time we had some quiet time, I just kept talking
with him. It was awesome to see how Holy Spirit was touching him and
bringing him to tears. (And me!) One thing led to another and he said
he was open to giving his life to Jesus. He assured me that he was
taking this very seriously.
We had
other encounters with people that were very touching, and we could
see the Lord really moving. We had gone to early church service
Sunday and then rushed over to our event and we could immediately see
God answering prayers. The whole point this week is to remember to
take advantage of every situation we may find ourselves in.
Many
times, leading someone to Jesus isn't just a "one and done"
encounter. It is a delicate process of allowing the Lord to
"pull the plug" in a person's heart by explaining things
and answering questions. As we finished up our long weekend, we were
more than in awe of what God had done. Our work does have to do with
helping seniors with their health insurance plans, but ultimately, we
always look to bring Jesus into the conversation and watch what the
Lord will do. Here is what the Bible tells us to do, no matter where
we are at:
And
He said to them,
“Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature. (mark 16:15)
Be
encouraged to get out there in the days to come and make a difference
that could change somebody's eternity! Your "world" is
wherever you are.
