On January 3, 1987, about 9:30 PM, I looked up on bookshelf. There was that Bible my Mama had given me years ago. I pulled it down, dusted off cover, and opened it up. The words of Psalmist (Psalm 40. 1,2,) jumped off pages and spoke to my heart. As tears poured down my cheeks, I said "God, if You are real, save me!" Immediately Jesus came, and I was born again and I knew it! I felt like I was being washed whiter than snow.

You see, I had been under conviction of Holy Ghost for a long time. God rearranged circumstances of my life to get my attention. Thank God for a Mama who thought enough of me to give me a Bible.

Matthew 11.28 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Since that day over 17 years ago, Lord has used me greatly..in all kinds of ways...Parents, don't give up on your children..Continue to pray for them

I asked her if I could pray for her and she said okay. As I began to pray, presence of Lord came in a powerful way. I asked Lord to reveal his love to her, and there at her baby's grave, she was born again.

The Lord told me to help her by giving her a little money. She tried to refuse to take it, but I insisted it was from Lord. She said, "I will repay you some way."

Three weeks later, this 42 year old woman was brutally murdered. I spoke at her funeral and relayed what had taken place three weeks prior at cemetery. This was repayment to me and a great comfort for her family.

About a month later, one of her sisters called me and asked me to go to their house and have a service for family. Her brother and sisters, mother and father, and most of grandchildren were present. I preached Jesus to them and Lord graciously blessed.

Since that time, her brother, her Daddy, and one of her nieces(21 years old) have gone on to be with Lord. Surely, Lord is good!

Matthew 4.19 "And he said unto them, Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."
