So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise."
Yesterday, I spoke about allowing the Holy Spirit to restrain us; today, I'll share a young man's testimony, which shows how GOD led me and the young man into Miracle territory!
I was holidaying with my family and some friends from Bible college in the south of France when the Pastor of one of the students asked if I'd like to give a word of encouragement at the Sunday service. As I finished speaking, I asked if anyone needed help to step forward. Someone started walking towards me from the very back of the church, accompanied by a terrific murmur of voices around the church. I didn't know that the young man that came up was the Pastor's lawless son. Apparently, he had left the church and his family long ago to pursue a nefarious career. This, then, is 'his' testimony!
"I stood before this man from England and 'thought' in my head, 'I suppose you want me to repent?' The man looked at me - into my soul, and said, 'I have no need of your insincere repentance,' and moved away. I was shocked and, grabbing at the man's sleeve, pulled him back and said in surprise, 'You know what's in my mind?' The man turned again to me and said, 'I know what's in your mind, what's in your heart - and what's in your pockets!' I was selling dangerous drugs, and I was carrying LOTS of them! Fear descended upon me, and as the church saw, I fell on my knees in fear. I asked for forgiveness and truly gave my life to Jesus...!
Please pray with me ... "Lord, I seek Your face, truth and word for my life. Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Like Jesus, I want to hear Your Voice and do Your Will. Help me to know Your voice and trust You enough to honour You." Amen!
