What a miracle it has been! We have on average like 5 lessons a week. Our area is really slow... but this week we had 12 lessons!! We almost tripled it! We met a lot of less actives and went with some members of the ward and wow you could feel the spirit. We committed 3 people to come to church, 1 of which is our brand new investigator. He truly wants to change his life. He told us - I am so sick of hurting, I have had a hard time for the past 3 years, and I'm ready to change. I was just so impressed by this man. That's a hard thing to admit. We were teaching this lady who suffers a lot of health problems and has back pain and something miraculous happened. It was weird - it wasn't me.
I shared a scripture in Malachi 3:10 which states.
10. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
I added a little twist: I told her, "Come to church and prove to me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it."
I made her this promise. I told her Satan will not make it easy for you, especially when you start going to church. I promised her in the name of Christ that if she came, she would see miracles take place in her life. She suddenly just burst in tears and joy. That moment in the mission field really made all this hard work worth it. When you can see the burden lifted from a person and you promise them a blessing. You can just feel the power of God. I never ever do that. but for some how my tongue was loosened and I spake words that were not mine, but of God.
What a miracle, to be a tool for the Lord. God truly loves his children.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
