God is still Good

Last night we had some awesome service with Brother Floyd Perry from Granite Falls, North Carolina. He preached on Psalms 1 vs 1 & 2, Blessed is the Man, talk about getting filled with the Spirit. Well afterwards we went with Pastor & Mrs. Kim to Los Asados, where we also had some great fellowship, by the time we got home it was about 10 pm. We were in the living room, well I was, and Dee Dee was on the computer. As I was passing by the dinner table a text on D’s phone came through, & it was no chance that I was passing by and I took a peek, it was my sister in law texting that her husband asked her to pray and she was asking if D could ask me to go over there to pray with them or for them, really mainly for Adam my sister in laws husband. You see he had a basic operation if there is such a thing. Well it turns out it turned worst, & he has an infection on his insides. Secondly you should know that Adam & I just don’t click we never have really gotten along. Well when I saw this text I was like, ahhh, this flesh said don’t go I knew what I had to do, but this flesh is weak, pride kicking in all that ugliness. Then I looked at my wife I know it bothered her the way I was acting, then I just let the Holy Spirit guide me to do this. So I told D, “Let’s go I have to do this”. On the way over there D, starts telling me about how her, & the kids have been praying for him every morning for a while. I just kept praying, “Lord I don’t know what to say Holy Spirit guide me, direct me, be my mouth, be in my heart, help me have compassion he may be lost”. You see Adam made a profession of faith a long while back, but no Spiritual fruit ever came out of it so you start to think did he ever get saved. He never changed the way he is. So we get there and D, tells me she has a knot in her stomach, I look at her “You, How do you think I feel”. I was all nervous. Well then we walk into the apartment he is laying on the couch, literally looked like he was on his death bed really. I ask him what he needs prayer I ask him specifically what he needs. He then goes on to tell me about his infection how it is causing him such pain. Then I look at him and tell him, “Well Adam first things first”. I didn’t know how to approach it but God is so good. So I just asked him, “Adam are you saved” He then gives me this look. Then I dare asked him the Question, “If you died tonight would you go to Heaven?” He then looks at me & tells me, “Honestly Juan I can’t say that I know that I will go to Heaven.” Amen I thought this is my way to lead him to Christ. So then I told him what he needed to do to know without a shadow of doubt, to know that he knows where he is going when he dies. Amen Adam got saved last night. I told him pride aside Brother I am here if you need anything. I prayed with him about his health, his family, his Christian walk as a father, a husband, but most of all as a Christian. Then, yes then after we left we said our goodbyes and parted ways. On the way home there was this tension in the car this overcoming joy, as I thought the angels in heaven are going crazy right know celebrating another for Christ. Then out of no where, “AMEN I yelled my wife started crying, with Joy, Then I started crying, Glory to God HE is so good to us, Glory Amen, I thought of how wretched a sinner I am and HE still loves me, AMEN. Just shouting in the car apologizing to God Confessing to HIM, Just rejoicing in HIM, MY Lord, MY Savior, My God, AMEN, God is still on the throne reigning Amen, And Amen, What a Joy, got home we got on our knees prayed some more, rejoiced some more what a night I say Amen one more time.
