Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope your day was filled with a spirit of wisdom, revelation and the knowledge of God. I had a good day on campus and a bumped into Ellias who said he had prayed and received Christ from an earlier conversation we’d had in September. I had several good conversations too where seeds were planted. Please pray that He comes to faith and Nick, a Romanian Orthodox raised agnostic is provoked by our conversation to know the Lord. Thanks for your prayers. The day’s notes are below if you have time.
I saw Ellis as I said and again whom I had not seen since the 6th of September. He said then he would pray later then. At first before hearing the Gospel he was saying God would observe him and what he did and he would get into Heaven. He did not know Jesus had died for his sins when I’d asked what Jesus had done to take away his sins. He was a good-looking black dude with short braids and a green bandana like a sweatband around his forehead he was wearing again today. When I asked him today he said he had prayed with a big smile. I was talking to someone and he was passing in the hall and asked as he passed. I passed him later talking to some friends who have meet me. So I kept walking out of sight and got out a Bible Promises for you Book. I wrote his name and “Sept. 2024 and Forgiven!” in the front and gave it to him as I passed him again.
Josh is guitarist I’ve been praying for since last year. He’s reading through the Bible I gave him and a King James one going back and forth. That lasted an hour as we talked about a few bands and the ancient world. I talked to Nick for a half hour apologetically talking about the limits of human knowledge and that only God can know and do the Good. This is because: You must be omniscient to know what the Good is and how an action can create a good outcome and omnipotent to insure it results in good thereafter. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit, in us, with the intervention of God in our actions transforming us and them can good come. I explained that to him and that only Christianity claimed God could be living inside him. So I hope the seeds with these and those over hearing the conversations will be a blessing.
I also spoke a half hour with Danny. He had a recurring temptation. He had a spiritual pride that kicked in on him. He said that he was doing everything God had for him to do. I emphasized only the Holy Spirit’s power can allow us to live the Christian life or successfully serve God. I told him to not wait for it to get so intense and think he had success to brush it off but to pray God would remove the thoughts of Satan out of his heart any moment anything affected him. Satan was waking him at night to jack him around with it. I came across him 2 and a half hours later and he had visibly brightened and taken my advice and thanked me.
So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today God blessed me with good conversations in Christ.
In Him,
Bob
