Testimony on use of God's Cards®:
On the 1st of March 2005 I went
to the bus station in Peterborough Cambridgeshire, to
meet my wife who was returning from spending a few days
with her mother.
I got to the multi-storey car
park which was next to the bus station and as I made
my way to the waiting area I rechecked my time and realised
that I was an hour early and prayed that the Lord would
give me opportunity and use me for His glory. I checked
my right hand pocket and made sure I had plenty of track
cards.
The bus waiting area is a long
narrow glass covered walkway unheated but sheltered
from the wind and there are always lots of people standing
and waiting for someone or waiting for their bus to
arrive.
I stood near the stop for the
bus bringing my wife home, and as I looked around I
noticed a girl about 20 years old, sat on a seat about
10 feet away looking very serious. She had a black plastic
refuse bag bulging with clothing, a full carrier bag,
and a small case. She was wearing a short zip up jacket
with sergeants stripes on the arms and track suit trousers
and trainers on her feet and was inadequately dressed
for the cold weather.
It crossed my mind that I should
try and get into a conversation with her but quickly
dismissed this idea as a grey haired 63 year old man
talking to a 20 year old girl could be misunderstood.
A few minutes later I felt the prompting of the Holy
Spirit and went to her and said I know you are
worried about something but I want you to know that
Lord Jesus loves you very much I reached into
my pocket and pulled out one of the Gods Cards
and handed it to her and said This might help
you.
I then walked back to where I
was standing before and as I looked back I could see
she was reading the words
Jesus is coming soon.
Want to be certain you are going to Heaven?
then just say ....
at this point I saw her turn over the card and read
these words
... just say in your own way now:
Jesus forgive me for my sins.
Thank you for dying for my sins.
Please come into my heart and my life.
I surrender my life to your will.
Did you do it?
Then He is in your life and heart to stay!
I noticed she had bowed her head
and the card was cupped in her hands close to her face
and she seemed to be studying the card for a long time
and I wondered if she had prayed that prayer and what
her reaction had been. I also wondered if she was homeless
and if the bus shelter was a temporary resting place
from the cold wind. I started to pray again for her,
lifting her to our loving heavenly Father, suddenly
I sensed God speaking to me and saying Angels
have rejoiced in Heaven.
I knew the answer then Luke 15:7
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth.
There was no more reason for
me to be concerned as God had her in His hands, and
as to confirm this, within a few minutes a young man
came and collected her and helped her with her luggage.
As they passed me the girl looked
straight at me and mouthed the words thank you
and I could see her eyes were wet from weeping.
It is amazing what God can do
as He wants all to be saved and none to perish.
Yours in Christ a citizen of heaven.
