Last night I was playing cards online. I happen to be playing with a very chatty lady from Spain. She asked me the usual questions. Kids? Married? Where did I meet my husband? I answered that I met Travis at church and that started a conversation about religion. She shared that she had been raised Catholic but she was not interested in religion anymore. We chatted a while and I ended up sharing with her about Reinhard Bonnke speaking at church on Sunday. I told her about his crusades in Africa and how many souls had been saved. She immediately did not believe me and wanted to know how much money I had given.
Her response has me thinking. As you know, I am a very skeptical person but I am not at all skeptical of the number of souls Reinhard Bonnke reports have been saved. Why is that? I have come up with a couple reasons. 1. I trust my pastor. 2. I have been brought up to believe God can do anything.
So today I am thankful for a pastor that I can trust and that I have faith in my God to do anything. Exceedingly abundantly above all that I can ask or think. So with a thankful heart I am asking for the soul of that lady in Spain to be saved. I planted a seed and God can bring the increase. I pray that she is thinking on our conversation today as I have been, that her curiosity will out weigh the skepticism, that she will find Reinhard Bonnke on youtube as I suggested, that she will hear the Word of the Lord and be saved. I believe my God that is able to save millions in Africa can reach down and save one lady in Spain.
