A blessing from God through a crack addict...

[Evangelist Russ McLamb]

Everytime we do a rally or festival the Lord always shows me something. He gives me at least one person that comes by that truly blesses my soul.  Friday a man by the name of James came up.  We hand out bibles at the booth for free and he asked if he could have one.  As we stood there talking he told me he was saved and asked if he could tell me about the night God not only saved his soul but his life as well.

James went on to say that he was in a crack house, high and drunk to the point that he could just barely hear stuff that was going on around him.  He heard someone say “Lets shoot him and take his money”.  Instinctively he said he put up his hands when the shotgun blast went off.  You see james is missing a finger, the blast blew it off, and his left arm is disfigured because of putting his arms up in front of himself, and the blast struck him in the chest.  As they were putting him into the ambulance and taking him to the hospital he prayed to God to save his soul, and if he would, to save his life and he would serve Him for the remainder of his days of this earth.  James closed out his testimony with “and that’s what I’ve been doing ever since”.

You see that’s a blessing and wonderful testimony to the glory of God.  God saved this man’s soul and he’s been about God’s business ever since.  I would have never met James if I just showed up at church to warm a pew, I would have never met James if I said I didn’t have time to do these things for God, I would have never met James if I was concerned about worldy things and “getting mine”.  Get out of your four walls and see what God is doing and share the love of Christ and the gospel.

I pray that everyone who professes Christ as his or her Lord and Savior would have the drive to come out into the highways and byways of this nation and start spreading the Gospel.  The Lord will bless you for it, even if the blessing comes from a saved crack addict.

[Fred]

Truly a great blessing. 

IS it possible (yes it is) that the LORD loves each and every one of us; far more than we know and far more perfectly than we could even imagine.

Thank you so much for sharing!

God Bless
