Just incase you haven’t heard.. Jesus is awesome.
Just listen to this amazing story.
Yesterday, we finally went to go prayer walking during the day again. So we get there and as I was praying we walked past McDonalds. God said,
“You will be going back there tonight because that’s where I need you. “
All I can do when He tells me something like is to just say YES.
So we came back that night and just started walking. We were waiting on where the Holy Spirit needed us. So we walked all the way to the end of the street and saw our friend who sells bracelets. Sami, my teammate looked at us and said If I don’t get food I will literally pass out. I will meet you at McDonalds.” Sami HATES McDonalds. She even said so as she was putting it in her mouth. So there it was, time for me to go to where the Lord needed me.
Everyone walked inside to get something while I was stopped outside by Happy, our friend who is a vender on the street. I didn’t even have time to say hello because she bombarded me with this question,
“World end tomorrow Buddha say so, you believe dis?”
So giving that question I dove in with Jesus and approached it the best way. Beside her also were three friends who were also Christian and after everything I said they would say Amen or Hallelujah.
I shared the gospel with this women right there on the darkest street I know, Bangla Road. She proceeds to tell me that she is scared because of this and started to cry because of it. I look at her in her eyes just wanting her to know how loved and protected she is by God. It literally broke my heart to see those tears run down her face.
We tell her all about Jesus and how much He loves her and wants her to pray to Him and believe in Him.
“okay”, she says, “I believe in Jesus and Buddha”
So we say,
“Haha, No it doesn’t work like that. Jesus wants you to only love and pray to Him. He is the ultimate God and Father.”
Come to find out, she is Buddhist because her family is Buddhist. Her dad will not let them believe in Jesus because he doesn’t believe in Jesus. Her dad is also dead, so her mom thinks that believing this way still honors him so its just a sad situation for her.
You can look at her and just tell that she wants to know Jesus so bad but she has to follow her parent’s rules. On the outside she is Buddhist, but her soul is longing for what we were sharing with her and that is the love of Jesus Christ. Normally you can never see a seed being planted by yourself but this one was so evident that you just couldn’t give it some water as well. So we told her that,
“There is FREEDOM in Jesus and that He is wanting to give that freedom to you.”
After a few minutes she stopped crying and looked at me strait in the eye and told me that she had sharp stomach pains and that she has to go to the doctor tomorrow because of it.
At this point and time, my teammates all had joined me and had been listening to what was being said. So when she said this, we looked at each other and just begin to laugh and be filled with joy because this is totally a way God can show her who he really is be using us to heal her.
We knew that Jesus had this moment and pain in his hands. He wanted us to really come in and show his love to Happy. He wanted her to know that he is real and that he loves her by using US.
So we laid hands on her and started praying. We got to cry out to the Living God in the darkest place I have ever been. As crowds gathered and took pictures, watching what was happening, God was showing up.
Carly’s arm started shaking with God’s spirit all up inside her. Then my arm begins to shake violently as well. So I placed my hand where her pain was. She begins to look at us curiously and confused. While I was crying out to God, Sami begins telling her its ok, the Lord is just healing you. I received her pain in my stomach and literally felt God remove it from her and me. Once it was gone, my arm stopped. It was evident what the Lord just did in the most hopeless place.
She smiles and said,
“If no pain tomorrow, I call you. If no pain, I believe in Jesus only. No Buddha. “
So not only did he heal her stomach, he brought another daughter into his kingdom. We walked away knowing that she will call us. We walked away knowing that she will only pray to God now. We walked away knowing that SHE IS FREE.
When God tells you he needs you somewhere, then go. ALL YOU CAN DO IS SAY YES. I didn’t know what he needed me for but it didn’t matter because he went before me and he trusted me enough to follow in his footsteps. Because I listened to him, there is now going to be another daughter in his Kingdom.
Welcome to the family Happy.
