I went to a house warming party last night of some friends that just recently got married.
I heard so many amazing stories from their Christian friends.
One lady from Iran got invited to church. What stuck out to her was how the pastor’s face glowed. She eventually gave her life to Jesus.
One lady was drunk with her agnostic and atheist friend at the age of 19. One of them asked her “How do you know God exists?” She began to blurt out “Look how green the grass is! How blue the sky!” As she proclaimed this, the presence of God filled the space and her and her friend were saved immediately. I got chills yesterday as she retold the story and so did she…and this happened over 30 years ago!
One man was about 15-16 years of age and searching out what truth was. He was looking into everything which landed him in a satanic book store. As he looked on a bookshelf, he noticed one book sticking out slightly more than the others. The title had satan in it and he took the book home to read it. He didn’t know the book was written by a Christian author…not sure how the book got in there….but God knows! In the back of the book, there was a prayer to commit your life to Jesus and that’s how he got saved!
He wept as he told me of his grandmother fasting and praying for 40 days for their family. He recounted story after story of God saving his family members one by one.
Another girl surrendered her life recently after being around a group that worshipped every morning before they started work. it’s like she needed to see it lived out before she even knew she needed to completely surrender.
This morning’s Bible reading was out of Psalms 96. I read verse 3 “Publish His glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.”
So that’s what I am doing. I love to hear how He writes people’s stories. I pray we will take time to swap stories and also write them down.
