Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Hope you had a good day. I felt like the Lord used me today and answered prayer. Amara prayed to receive Christ. She is a Roman Catholic girl. She hadn’t been to church in a while — sidetracked by school but she used to teach the kids on Sunday morning. She did not know what to call it they do not call it Sunday school. But she did not know how God took away her sins and had not prayed for her sins to be forgiven based on what Jesus had done for her. She said she wanted to be forgiven. I asked her if she wanted to pray for accept God’s forgiveness and she said, ‘Well I usually pray at night.” I offered to leave her alone for a minute and she said, “No that’s ok” and decided she would like to pray. So she prayed silently to receive Jesus and I gave her a Bible Study on the Deity of Christ and More than a Carpenter to read. I explained how the Holy Spirit’s power in us through the fruit of the Spirit is how we live the Christian life. As I left she was happy.

I connected with several students walking around that I had talked to before. Ashley who came to Christ in the lounge first semester was with her friend Logan. She was sitting with some friends and I did not recognize her at first but I went through the gospel again with her and so her friends Jordan, a guy and Melissa and Vanessa got to hear it and piped in with questions, I kind of feel like God made me not recognize her so they all would hear. But she let me go through it again and then said I talked to you last year so then I said, “Oh I’m so sorry, I did not recognize you right away.”

She did not mind at all and I explained a lot more of the Christian life to her and it seemed to register better that she was forgiven and why Christ’s payment on the cross was inexhaustible. I said, “Suppose we kidnap Donald Trump, we could get a lot of money but if we kidnap me not so much.” They laughed and I said Jesus is God to His life is worth an infinite amount it covers all of your sins. It is kind of like if when your mom saw you leaving home this morning she gave you a Discover Card, and you are like ‘What am I gonna’ do with this? I don’t have any money that’s why I’m going to COD’. But she says, ‘No, I found a lottery ticket on the parking lot last night and we are worth 35 million dollars after taxes, so whatever you put on this discover card I will always pay it off.’ God did the same thing with Jesus, you have a Discover Card of His blood that pays for all your sins. God is never surprised at our sins and He will always forgive when we ask and has a plan.” She couldn’t remember who she had been sitting with but I did and told her. It was actually pretty cool after I talked about how to live the Christian life and forgiveness Melissa said, I think really understanding the Christian life for the first time, “I feel so inspired right now, like God will help me.” And Jordan said, “I think this was not an accident that you came by here, I think God did this!” They all asked for the booklet I had gone through to have. I explained how they needed to pray believing in what Jesus had done. They were receptive it was great.

So Thanks for your prayers for me as I went around, I know God was with me leading and helping me.

Blessings in Him,
Bob
