This is as good a place as any to start a thread about personal exploits. Please feel free to share also as we testify about the awesome things God has done through us, for us and for others.
One time my friend and I would spend time at my place having coffee, and discussing things about God. I was extremely tired that evening but still had time for my friend Les.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door and a young lady who ran the youth group from church came with a boy she knew who was not saved. She told me that he needed prayer because there was something dark and sinister following him everywhere, like a dark shadow.
Now I was pretty tired by then but decided to pray for him along with my friend. He was happy for us to do so. I had never met this young man before until that very moment.
My prayer went something like this:
[They tend to turn into revelation and sometimes prophesy]
Thank you Father for this young man, please have your hand upon him as you have always done, in Jesus mighty name. Thank you that you have been with him all through his life. You were there when he got in that bad car accident which nearly took his life and you held his hand when he was thinking of taking his life that fateful day when everything seemed dark and without hope. Thank you are with him now. Please divinely intervene on his behalf, right now, I ask this, in Jesus mighty name!
After praying, he was staring at me with widened eyes of disbelief and he finally said "How did you know I was in an accident?, how did you know that I thinking of killing myself?"
I told him that I didn't know but God knows, he knows all things and he certainly knows your situation right now.
Then I told him things about God which he can testify to because of the prayer. I told him about Jesus and the message of the cross.
He was led to salvation that very minute and is now a child of the most high God and his name has been written in the lambs book of life.
That dark shadow disappeared into the shadows from which it had came. When light comes, darkness will disappear. Glory!
