A Divine Appointment

One of ICII’s indigenous pastors in India shares this amazing testimony:

“Fifteen years ago in the early morning at four o’clock, I was praying in my house when God spoke to me very clearly that I should knock on a certain family’s door and talk to them. When I knocked, the woman was surprised that at four o’clock in the morning I had come to their house. I just told them that Jesus just spoke to me saying that I should come to their house and knock. When she opened the door, I said I wanted to pray for them. The woman started to cry and said ‘My family and I were going to commit suicide this morning. See the rope hanging?’ That day she received Jesus as her Savior. After that, she had started to come to church regularly, but her husband never believed in Jesus. He belonged to a [particular religion] radical group. Sometimes when I was preaching or holding a church service he would beat me. Many times he locked his wife in a room so that she couldn’t come to church. After fifteen years of this, one day this man came to my church. He was kneeling down saying, ‘I’m sorry. I want to know about Jesus.’

He got saved now and is coming to church regularly. The reason is because one day when he came to harass my church with all the other [religion] radicals, he heard the message of the Gospel saying that when you believe Jesus you will go to heaven, otherwise hell is waiting for you. Then, I was explaining about hell. So now he and his family are following Jesus!”
