praise & pray for Ben (AUS)

- sat next to on bus. was initially very hesitant to initiate a gospel conversation with him as my overall experience [trying to] share the gospel with Aussies (using wdjd see: www.livingwaters.com/wdjd.shtml) is that they're often quite unreceptive to the gospel & unreasonably relativistic .... felt soo tempted to just give up on trying to share the gospel with aussies as there are riper harvest fields elsewhere & all 'round.
felt it would be a cop-out & taking the 'easy way out' if i just sat next to him & read my book 'aptly titled ' having a mind to suffer' by Watchman Nee . however, Papa brought to mind this verse:
2 Corinthians 5:14 - "whatever we do, it is because Christ's love compels us" (NLT )
so rather than take the easy [& essentially unloving] way out, I looked intently at Ben sitting next to me as he stared out the window.. he eventually came 'round & I handed him a million $ note. see: http://wayofthemaster.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27_38&products_id=110
"did you get one of these?" i asked.
he took it in amusement, read it .. i prayed for him.
he tried to hand it back saying
"that's one way of looking at things" which then developed into a conversation skirting 'round issues of religion/power/corruption/man's innate goodness/sinfulness, . . . inevitably the bus trip came to an end, once again lost for words at how blinded by satan some people are.
Ben needs much prayer! truly but for the grace of God, I would be just as much, if not more blinded by deception!
:D PRAISE! :D
:D He's the God who makes blind eyes see again!
:D ultimately, Jesus wins over the enemy!!
*pray*
:D let Ben's conscience never rest & leave him no peace until he finds rest & peace with God through The Only Saviour - Jesus Christ! & also lead his wife & kids to Find The Truth, Life & The Way to Heaven through Jesus!
* pursue his lost soul & reveal Christ to Ben so he might flee to The Saviour before God's wrath comes (in a little while .. soon and very soon!)
* bring more people into his life & across his path who'll keep stirring his God-given conscience until it drives him humbly to the foot of the cross!
* work by His Spirit to seek & save lost souls in multiplied BILLIONS like Ben!
(MILLIONS of Aussies need to know The Truth in a society plagued with lies!!
* help His children to possess a mind to suffer [one of the greatest weapons against the enemy!] & be compelled by Christ's love that never chose the 'easy way out' but persevere in reaching out to seek & save the lost while there's still time!
