This is about the caring and love of God for each person. Last week while soul winning, I knocked on the door of an apt and heard two small children making noise and heard a man yelling at them.No one answered the door so my daughter and I began to walk away. As we were leaving, we heard the windows rattle as if something , hopefully not someone, was being thrown against that wall and making the windows rattle. Even my 9 year old daughter knew something wasn’t right. I really didn’t want to leave but what can you do if no one will open the door? I felt impressed of the Lord to pray “that someone would open the door”.
The instruction went no further than that. So I stood at the bottom of the stairs and prayed for a minute or two and went back up the stairs and knocked on the door. This time there were no sounds coming from the apt. No one answered. My daughter and I began to walk across the parking lot when my daughter told me that someone had opened the door. So I ran back up and a young man stood in the doorway holding the hand of a one year old child. I gave him our church flyer and he told me that his wife was the “God person”. He was an atheist. I asked him if he knew how much God loved him and had a wonderful plan for his life and he stated, “I don’t believe in God anymore.
I asked him if he were to die today is he 100% sure that he would go to heaven and he stated that right now he “was choosing purgatory”. He was very polite and very politely shut the door in my face. My daughter was disappointed that he didn’t give his life to the Lord, however as I explained to her, the Lord knew what this man needed to hear and by hearing that God loves him, I believe that this man will return to the Lord. It’s already done in the Spirit. As we yield to the Spirit of God in circumstances such as this, God will touch their heart and they will be saved.-Jeff P.
