Yesterday, after a powerful time of praise and worship and sermon, the pastor called to invite people to come to accept the Lord as his/her Savior. He waited for awhile, but nobody came. He called for people who have needs of healing, and lots of people came forward.
I realize that there are a lot of broken hearted people out there, and they are in the congregations as well in need of His healing touch everyday, every time we gather for worship.
Sick people and the infirm and the oppressed are there needing God's healing touch through you and me. He is the Healer, yet He commands His disciples to go and heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons...Will you go in His name?
Anyway, after the worship was over, people were fellowshipping with one another through the New Year luncheon. After awhile, most of the people left, I stood up saying good byes to a few people. Then I walked up to an older gentleman to say good bye to him, and we did wish each other all the good things. However, he turned around to introduce to me this man who I had not seen before. The story was this man came to worship, was willing to accept the Lord Jesus as Savior, but he was afraid because nobody else came forward when the pastor called earlier.
After we talked a little bit and read some Scripture to him, and the Holy Spirit helped him see his needs for the Lord, and it was the right time now to invite Christ into his heart. I led him to the Lord right there at the lunch table with the rest of his family witnessing this beautiful moment. We all cried tears of joy and thanksgiving was offered. Mr. T. is a new man in Christ Jesus. He belongs to Jesus. Jesus is his now.
He is introduced to the pastor and later on, the pastor introduced him to the congregation. What a beautiful day to witness a new convert.
Turning around, there were some young people standing around, yet there was one particular teenager who needed prayer and God's healing touch as well. As I shared the Gospel to her, tears started to flow and healing did take place in her heart. Her emotional pain is healed in the name of Jesus.
God is always ready for people to come to Him. Are you willing to make Him yours?
