I was able to get in touch with a very good friend over FB and as we chatted, I asked if they wanted to receive our monthly Praise Letter. Their response was a big “No thank you.” They went on to say I have seen your website and have read your praise letter but we have different world views. They asked, “Do you REALLY see people healed?” and added “Please do not pray for me”. Well, I did not respond to that question for it is obvious that they think I am lying just to impress people or get them to send money. YES, many are healed all the time! Since they told me not to pray, I have DOUBLED my prayers for them. They cannot stop the love of God nor mine.
The 2nd Atheist's name is John (see the pic below) you need to hear the background to this amazing story…
Background of meeting John (The Atheist)
My youngest son, Eros, is a typical 15-year-old teenager trying to figure out who he is, what he believes, and going to church with mom and dad is not a top priority. By the Grace of the Lord, Eros said he would attend the Immersion Night on Thursday where Dr. Dan Hammer and his team from Seattle WA are ministering.
At the end of the night, everyone was invited to come up to be touched by the Lord, Eros went up because he wanted to be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. Twice Eros fell down under the power of God and came up speaking in a new gift. This was so wonderful! Because of this, we were waiting for Eros to be through and the time was getting late 9:30 pm (Eros gets up at 4 am to get ready for school).
As we left the church, we hired a tricycle driver named John to take us home. When we arrived home Jen and Eros went inside to the house and I stayed outside to pay John the 60 pesos but I always give 200 pesos with a blessing or prayer from the Lord. As we talk, I could tell John is a really smart man who wanted to finish college but could not do so because he is working (as a tricycle driver) to feed his family a wife and 4 daughters. He is just 38 years old. I asked if he is a believer in God and he said “no”, he added that he is an atheist. As we talked the Lord showed me things in my heart about John and I told him how wonderful he is and how God had made him, and loves him very much. Then the Lord told me to give him 500 pesos (10 US Dollars) At that point John got really quiet, he said “you do not know how bad a day I have had! It has been very hot today and I have only had one passenger, I only have 60 pesos in my pocket. Then you give me 200 for driving you and your family home and now you handed me 500 pesos more! WHY?” I said, “while we were talking I heard the Lord say in my heart to give this to you and I try to always obey the promptings of the Lord.” John said, “I have never met someone like you.” I said, “well thank you but it is really the love of God inside me that makes me this way.” I then told him about the love of God how Jesus died for him paying the full price and becoming sin all the wicked and bad in the world so that we could become righteous and sons of God at Jesus's expense. I asked John if that made sense? John said yes is sure does I then asked would like this free gift God is offering to everyone who would just thank Jesus and ask for it? John said, “yes I would love to ask Him.” John bowed his head we prayed and he then became a son of God. I told John I know you will have many questions please come by anytime and bring your family.
