God has divine appointment with us. We may not realize it, but everything happens to us for a reason; every person we meet is already in His divine calendar. The timing, the place and the things we talk about are all in His mind and heart.
God is longing to communicate with us and to us. He wants to let us know that we are loved and valued. We are His children, very special to the Heavenly Father, and He cares a lot about us and what is going on in our lives.
I had a chance to talk to a new friend by divine appointment. As the conversation unfolds, hurts in the past, entangled relationships with her loved ones, the long lost father who has not been in her life, all the conflicts of life and the troubles of the present with alcohol, drugs, except cocaine and heroin and promiscuity are all so real in her life which caused her pain and anxiety and rebellious lifestyle.
God is ready to meet her today. He did. The Holy Spirit has convicted her heart of her need for the Savior, for healing of broken heart, for deliverance from sins and rebellion. God has filled her heart with His love, joy and forgiveness as soon as she confessed her sin to the Lord and her need for Jesus.
What a change you could see if you were there. The beautiful radiant smile that said a whole lot about the new transformation that just took place right in front of my eyes. God has saved her and changed her. She is a new creation in Christ. The old is gone and the new has come.
God is great, and He is always on time. Are you on His calendar? He is ready to meet you where you are, but He won't leave you where you are. He will change you and transform you if you allow Him to do so.
What are you waiting for? Seek Him and desire Him, and He shall satisfy the desire of your heart.

A Lost Soul Found Jesus and Invited Him into Her Heart
God is great. He is awesome. His Name is to be praised. The Lord loves to save souls. He just found one more and brought the sheep back into His fold.
This morning, I had a chance to witness God's love to this young lady. She looked troubled. Her face tells it all about the conditions of her heart and mind. She feels lost, rejected, angry.
The piercing on the body said a whole lot about the things in her heart. She just confirmed my thoughts and acknowledged her needs of the Savior. She was willing to change, no longer wanting this sad kind of life. No purpose, no meaning, no friend, no hope.
God has a different plan for her life. After talking with her and listening to her life story, I led her to the Lord. She is ready. Today is her day. It's the day of God's salvation for her.
There at the feet of Jesus she confessed all her sins and unrighteousness, renounced all her fear and rebuked all the evil forces in her life. She has invited Christ Jesus to come into her life.
With tears streaming down, she prayed to accept Christ as her Lord and Savior. Immediately, you can notice a change of heart and attitude. Her countenance lights up with a bright smile. After accepting Christ, she was open to receive water baptism and in the presence of the witness, I baptized her in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
She removed the piercing, no longer wants it. Her new life has begun Now. I gave her a NT Bible and some instructions to read the book of James and John. She has started reading the Scripture already. Great. God is great. He cares for us all so much. I love Jesus Christ so much.
There are more souls to be won into the Kingdom of God by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Healed of Paranoid Thoughts and Fear
Last Friday, a person who was paranoid with thoughts of people are out looking to kill her was healed by the Lord. When I first met her she has a translator with her. She jerked at every noise and looked around with her head back to see who were behind her. She would hear voices of people knocking on her door to call her out so they could hurt her. This experience was very real to her, but due to the illness it is not so.
After talking to her and listening to her describing the situations, I asked her, "What would you like God to do for you?" She answered, "I ask God to heal my head." I agreed with her in faith and prayed with a translator present to help. She knelt down on the floor.
I asked for permission to anoint her hands and forehead. After the first prayer, the pressure in her head was going down. She could feel the difference. 50% better, she said. Great. I prayed the second time, and the pressure is down even more. She feels 70% better. Fantastic. I prayed the third time. She feels 80% better. Great. I told her God does not leave things unfinished. I told her the story of the blind man being healed by Jesus. Jesus had to pray for him twice. I read some more Scripture to her. I asked her to agree with me and prayed again.
More fervent prayer is lifted up to the Lord. Her face is more focused praying along as well. Then after the fourth prayer she could feel 90% better. I told her I will pray for you again. Is there anything that would prevent God from healing you. She answered yes, and she confessed it to the Lord.
After the fifth prayer, she could declare that she feel 100% better. The pressure was gone, and she could think. The fear is gone. She could talk freely.
It is a privilege to pray for people everyday. God is great, and He will confirm the preaching of the Gospel with signs and wonders to glorify God.
A couple days later, with follow-up, my new friend has said she is well, and is able to go and see her family. The grace of the Lord and His power has set her free to think properly now.

New Believers
A man struggled to share his pain and struggle to overcome anger and hurt in the past; after hearing the Gospel, he just opened his heart and life to invite Jesus to come and be his Lord and Savior.
Christ Jesus immediately healed him of his pain, anguish in his soul; the guilt, shame and fear somehow vanished right before him. Give the Lord praise.
A woman who has been struggling with the love of God; how could God love me? Is God still mad at me? Am I dying next year of God's wrath?...lots of confusions and pain. She opens her heart to invite Christ to come inside and be her Lord and Savior. She is on her way to recovery. Still needs lots of prayer.
God is still in the soul-saving business; The lost still needs Christ; Christ Jesus needs us to be His witnesses in the world.
We need God's power, the power of the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses.
