No One is too far-gone
I am in the states,
as you know. I am going to school for Social work, attending Tyler Junior College. Here I meet many different people. This campus is very lost many people need
Jesus. My heart breaks when I walk
thru the halls and talk with people because I see their need for the Savior. When
I started TJC I started helping with a ministry called the Baptist Student Ministry
(BSM). The BSM has an event that is on Thursday nights called pancakes from
8-12pm we work in the kitchen making pancakes to not only feed the students, but also the hearts of the people who
come through the doors. I met someone at the BSM that I don’t think I will ever
forget; a few weeks ago I guy came walking in asking if he could help us cook, so
someone handed him a spoon and said, “have at it man. “ I was severing the bacon that night and
we started talking. Now you know
when the spirit just puts someone heavy on your heart to pray for even of you
never see him or her again. He was
this person for me. My friend and
I started praying for him. We knew
he was struggling we did not know the details. That was fine God was telling us
to pray so we did. The Lord told
me not to preach the gospel to him because he already knew it.; I was told just
show the gospel to him. One day my
friend and I were praying for him knowing the semester was almost over and there
was little time left to serve this guy.
We wanted to see his life wrecked for Jesus to the point he could do
nothing else then praise the Father with everything. So we were praying for him before church. Praying that he
would have an angel come to him and break the chains devil had on him because
the enemy has no place in his life. We were asking for an angel to come to him
and change him forever. That night
my friend picked him up for church (he almost did go). They went to church and the prayer that
was said over him hours before came true.
He had an encounter with God that night at church. Later that night he called me sounding joyful. He told me that he went out side of
church to pray; at that moment he was praying, “Lord take my life! Take all of
me! I give up”. Then when he went
back in a man came up and prayed over him. On the phone he said, “Katie, I
think he was an angel.” This blew
me away because that was the prayer we were asking God to make Himself known
through an angel and once again he came through. There is now a guy that is wrecked for Jesus… praise
God!!!!
No one is ever to
far from the kingdom. Are job as
believers is to love and be full of grace also to give love until it
hurts. God says come as you are,
but he loves you too much to stay that way. Simply knowing and loving Jesus will
change lives!!!
