I walked up to her and laid hands on her
That set her off!
“I need God to heal my mother, I am a prostitute, I know God hates me but can he heal my mother?”
I told her if she gives her life to Jesus, the Bible says God will save her and her household!
So she gave her life to Jesus
Then I said, “I believe converted souls should get baptized in the Holy Spirit, would you like to receive the Holy Ghost?”
She said yes!
She shook and screamed and fainted for a few minutes.
When the service was over she left
Some “older members of the church came to me”
You should have followed her up better! You know the lifestyle she is returning to...
I trust the Holy Spirit!
I know His work!
My own duty is to preach the gospel and minister the Holy Spirit to His people. His own is to keep His children!
She never came back!
Years later, she came to the church I attend on a Sunday
I didn’t recognize her
I also find myself unwilling to continue as a prostitute, I struggled for a few months until one day I left the work!
I met someone who helped me!
Wow! I was speechless!
Let us stop trying to set ourselves up as human behavior modifiers! The Law, performance and efforts at following up converts should not be just cerebral and mundane!
Please fill your converts with the Holy Spirit!
Let Him do the rest!
