“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” – Romans 10:13

Our Almighty God is the God of miracles, supernatural healing, signs and wonders! This powerful testimony of a dying COVID-19 survivor is a reminder for all of us that God uses ordinary people to convey His message. God used a hospital cleaner to minister to this dying man! He did not send a high profile or famous personality to make His wondrous works known. It’s like Jesus Christ who chose ordinary men to be His closest disciples to made a lasting impact to the whole world until this day. Watch and be blessed!

WATCH VIDEO: God Sent Me a Cleaner

READ THIS TRANSCRIPT:

It was two nights particularly in the hospital when I honestly didn’t know whether I would make it or not. I was under incredible pressure. Got drips up and and all that they needed to do but I remember those nights particularly really crying the Lord and asked him to help me. And asked Him to even supernaturally just do something that would encourage me and bring me through. I remember the next day I think it was the Monday or the Tuesday and I had a mate from hell and that day and that morning when no one else and you got to understand this in the isolation ward, well, no one else can get in. When no one else knew pastor, friends, and family members when no one else was allowed in. God sent a cleaner! And all of a sudden this cleaner had come in. And they’re helping cleaners in before this but this cleaner had come in and he was like a ray of sunshine. And he began to chat to me and he asked me how I was and he began to talk to me and say to me, and about about hanging in there and then we got chatting and we got talking and he and he turned round and he and and he said to me that he was a missionary in Nigeria for 14 years. He began to tell me how God had saved many many souls through his ministry. And I God had used him over the years to reach people. And here he is not cleaner and he’s encouraging my heart means telling me about souls. And I put the love of Jesus and the love of God and I’m just sitting, wow! and the soul was encouraged as I listened to him talk about how Jesus had used his life to rescue the souls of man. And I had traveled and then just this last couple of years he had find himself back home in Northern Ireland and and folks with God when God needs to reach you, He knows exactly who is there a person and in that moment of time it was a cleaner. No one else could get in, God sent a cleaner. You know it was incredible. He left that day and he says this, as he stood at the door. He said “son. can I pray for you?” I said absolutely. As he began to pray at the door, he couldn’t touch me. As he began to pray at the door, he began to ask God the Holy Ghost visit me. He began to ask God to heal my body and touch my lungs. He stood at that doorway and he pleaded with God Almighty to spare my life and to continue to use me. And then he left. And what was incredible was that, after he left, he periodically would walk past my window and give me a thumbs up. That night, I remember I started to turn around. Could it have been the prayer for cleaner? I don’t know. That night I began to desire a packet of prawn cocktail crisps, Tayto. I asked the Lord, because no one could get to me, I say, “Lord, is it possible that you could get me a packet of prawn cocktail, crisps, and a can of coke”? Because that night I began to turn. The next morning, cleaner came he brought in a bag. And in that bag was two oranges, a can of coke, and a packet of cocktail crisps. Don’t tell me that God doesn’t know. God knows our every need. He knows every desire. He just past the bag through the door, he couldn’t come in. And he just says: “it’s a gift from the Lord.” I sat up, I had the crisps. God is a God, folks, who is personal. And He knows the deepest desires of our hearts. He knows what we have need off. I want to encourage you out there today. God knows what you have need of. He knows your heart’s desire. He is an incredible Savior. Never underestimate what God can do with you. Thank you to that cleaner. You know who you are. If you ever see, this thank you for hearing the voice of God and reaching someone like me. And for you that are saved, keep your eyes upon Him. Turn your eyes upon Jesus. And for you that doesn’t know Jesus Christ, I would encourage you, lift up your eyes and look to heaven with a cry from your heart, say: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner.” And go home justified just as if you have never sinned. May God bless you. And may you know the love of Jesus and the power of the Holy Ghost. What a Savior. Amen.

I Can Always Repent When I’m Older!

This is a very interesting interview of a young man about his faith. Josh says he had “tried” Christianity right after 9/11, but then he “fell away” from the faith. What is true or false conversion?

What Is Repentance?

Repentance is turning away from sin and self and looking to God for forgiveness and salvation. It’s basically “to turn from evil, and to turn to the good,” or change one’s mind. The Bible tells us that true repentance will result in a change of action. You will instinctively hate sin and is necessary for salvation.

True repentance leads a person to say, “I have sinned” and prove it with a 180-degree change of their direction.
Repentance requires true brokenness.
Repentance is NOT asking the Lord for forgiveness with the intent to sin again.
Repentance is an honest, regretful acknowledgement of sin with commitment to change.
Repentance leads us to cultivate godliness while eradicating habits that lead into sin.

Bible Verses on Repentance

Acts 2:38 (NKJV): Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 3:19 (ESV): Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.

2 Corinthians 7:10 (ESV): 10 For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

Acts 5:31 (NKJV): 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV): The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Romans 2:4 (NKJV): Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. – Luke 15:10

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. – 2 Chronicles 7:14

As the Lord’s servant, you must not quarrel. You must be kind toward all, a good and patient teacher, who is gentle as you correct your opponents, for it may be that God will give them the opportunity to repent and come to know the truth. – 2 Timothy 2:24-25

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” – Isaiah 30:15

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when His righteous judgment will be revealed. – Romans 2:5

What’s Wrong with the World? (1958) by Dr.Billy Graham

What is the greatest problem of this world? Rev. Billy Graham discuss this very important topic that are rarely preach on at this age especially in a “feel good”, “prosperity”, and “self help” congregations. Where there is no longer conviction and no fear of breaking God’s Ten Commandments, then we are in a huge pestilence.

What’s Wrong with the World? by Dr.Billy Graham

Theologians have sought for centuries to determine what the essence of sin is. Some have chosen sensuality, others selfishness, and still others pride or unbelief. In the Old Testament, God applied different penalties to different sins, suggesting variations in the seriousness of some sins. A thief paid restitution; an occult practitioner was cut off from Israel; one who committed adultery or a homosexual act or cursed his parents was put to death (see Exodus, chapter 22 and Leviticus, chapter 20). In the New Testament Jesus said it would be more bearable on the day of judgment for Sodom than for Capernaum because of Capernaum’s unbelief and refusal to repent after witnessing His miracles (Matthew 11:23-24). The sins of Sodom were identified in Ezekiel 16:21 as arrogance, gluttony, indifference to the poor and needy, haughtiness, and “detestable things.”… remember that whether our sins are relatively small or great, they will place us in hell apart from God’s grace. The good news is that Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and the sins of the whole world at the Cross. If we will repent and turn to Jesus in faith, our sins will be forgiven, and we will receive the gift of eternal life. – Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
