Divine Appointments

I (joseph) was praying that I would meet people who saw their need and were really interested in learning more about the bible. I met Becky as I was canvassing, and showed her the Man of Peace maga book. She was really excited at how simple it was, and went on to tell me that despite being a Christian, she found it hard to understand the Bible. She took this book along with one for her son, and then singed up for Bible studies! Major ATP (answer to prayer)

Spirit-led studies save souls from cigarettes and selfishness

I had an amazing experience with a young man who wanted to go over the truth link study guides together.  We ended up going on a Spirit led study about "How to study the Bible"-- no plan or outline involved, and after being blessed by this, the contact asked? "Can we study some more?"  At this point it probably would have been acceptable to leave, but I felt it necessary to stay, impressed that we needed to go deeper. This time we studied tl lesson 2: the origin of evil-- Questions were answered about free will, did God create evil? etc. and there were many "aha" moments and spiritual epiphanies experienced by the contact and myself as we, once again, went on a freestyle Spirit-led study, asking questions and dialoguing amongst ourselves and with the Scriptures as we went along.  At the end, I felt the need to make an appeal but, not having an outline or plan, simply asked the question: How can we apply what we have just learned?  All of a sudden the contact stands up and says, "give me a hug" to which I responded by... hugging the contact. The contact then proceeds to  open up and explain how he had started smoking, had stopped reading his Bible and was being a poor example at school and at church, and wanted to change. Our last text was was Hebrews 2:14-15 and so he shared how he wanted to be free from cigarettes and from spiritual apathy, I also shared how I wanted freedom from specific attitudes, thought processes and actions that were hindering my spiritual growth.  We prayed and sealed our decision to be free in Jesus Christ. PTL!

Week 1 a success

Week one has been fun, we've gotten a lot done, asking Arlington to accept God's Son, nevertheless we have just begun. 

We have had to adjust our approach to the people in that there remain only 5 weeks until the evangelistic series is to begin.  We have been handing out "Truth Link" quick guides to the people and are prepping them fast for the meetings, making friends with them as much as possible meanwhile.

Joseph was able to meet a young lady and show her the books that we had.  He let her know of the free services in the community and she, being Christian, and interested in spiritual things, signed up to study the Bible with Joseph.

Michael had a wonderful experience with a gentleman who was highly interested in the events occurring in Israel, which he believes are orchestrated by secret societies.  Looking to the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9 as pointing to a restoration of the temple in Jerusalem and a millennial reign of Christ here on this earth,  he was very interested to hear about the possibility of a heavenly sanctuary and a different look at the 70 weeks, referring more to a spiritual/worldwide Israel as opposed to his literal/local interpretation.  A Bible study on this study was conducted and the gentleman was impressed and inspired to look more deeply into this beautiful truth.  Truly a blessing.

All in all it has been a wonderful week of blessings, divine appointments, with God working in every situation to His glory.
