Last Monday we were at one our friends house for a prayer meeting. When we arrive their my friend and his son, who recently came down from Australia welcomed us.As soon as I got down my eyes caught by the WORDS printed on the T-Shirt what the young man was wearing.It says "I AM WITH THE BIG GUY" .
Anyway we walked in and had great time of worship and I got the opportunity to preach.I preached about the storm calmed by our Lord.After I preached I asked have any of you faced storms.Everyone said yes and there was a bog "yes" from that young man,my friends son.He came down because of a little storm,I understood. And I was led by the spirit to explain them two main reasons for storms in our lives and nothing to kill us as He has given His life to save us. After the meeting we were invited for Dinner with them.
I sat with some little ones and I was them for a while and later went to sit with my friend and his son on their table.
Then this wonderful young man started to ask questions and he was sharing that when he was young he felt that there is something greater than the religion practice by his parents and he just told to the sky,If there is such a thing please reveal to me.He felt that all the religious works done by his parents were meaning less and ones he had mentioned that to his parents and later decided t keep quit because he was scared that they may ask him to leave the house because of this unwanted issues.So later he moved to Australia.
When he was in Australia, his family got saved and they were praying for him and told him that they have accepted Jesus and they were born again.And when we were eating his father was suggesting him to pray and ask from God,specially His help for the exam what he is going to take(That was the storm which took this man to Sri Lanka this time,because he didn't get the enough marks for his PR).This wonderful man was saying to his father" I cant ask God to bless me, because I haven't done any good for him,but He has blessed me so much...so I cant ask more and I don't know how to reach to God correctly because I am a sinner and He is not......".I couldn't wait and I jumped up and asked him "Son,have you not invited Jesus in to your life?".He said "No"(Praise the Lord !)
Then I shared the gospel and asked him to close his eyes and guided him with sinners prayer.After the prayer the young man said "Amen" with me and opened his eyes.He was like shocked and told us about an amazing vision he saw when we were doing the sinners prayer...He told us" I saw the soldiers were taking Jesus on the streets.He was carrying the cross. And there were wounds all over His body. Blood on the face. And He looked at me.I was there wearing a roman helmet.I thought no one could identify me. But He looked at me.I was trying to hide,but Jesus looked at me"
I couldn't hide my tears and that moment was amazing.I felt the presence of the Lord right there.
Later found out though this young man was praying to God had not repent and invite Jesus in to his life.
So we came to a conclusion before we depart...."That could be the only reason, why? God brought him here this time to Sri Lanka and he came down because he didnt get enough marks on the test for his PR"....
Yes ,His ways are perfect and He can turn any bad in to good.....
May be this is the reason for your problem on what you are worrying about ,Smile.....!
He is God!
