I said, “Hello, this is Pastor Smatt,” Replying in a low tone.” “Did you call me?” A terrified voice said on the other end of the line,
“No?” still speaking in a low tone, “Yes you did, I have it right here on my caller I.D. that you called me!” “Is this a joke?” I replied.
The man said, “No! I am sitting here with a gun to my head and I was about to commit suicide when this call came up with your caller I.D and the church telephone number!"
He continued speaking in a loud, terrified voice, “God, told me that you are a Godly man and that you are going to lead me to Jesus.” I was totally stunned and numb at first.In a low,calm voice I said, “OK’” The man then spoke in an elevated voice, “I need to know Jesus!” I then proceeded to share with him the scriptures concerning Jesus’ Birth, Death, and Resurrection. I also shared with him the steps to salvation. I said, “What you need to do is to repeat after me, dear Lord Jesus, please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and save me!” The man repeated these words and immediately I heard of sigh of relief.
The man then spoke excitedly,” My wife has just walked in the door, hey honey! Guess what I just did, I invited Jesus into my heart!” “Pastor Smatt, I will be in church this Sunday and I will tell everyone what I just did!”
“I will see you Sunday, Reverend Smatt.” He hanged the telephone up.
I was stunned and a feeling of deep awe at what had just taken place came over me, it left me speechless and praising the Lord in my heart!
Sunday came! I was so excited to see what God is going to do. The service started but there were no new faces in the congregation. My heart sank as the service moved on and there was no sign of the man.
Then it happened, quickly and suddenly! I was standing in the pulpit giving the announcements when I looked out the window and there in the corner of my eyes I could see a man, dressed in white suite drove up on a motorcycle...
In a few seconds the door in the sanctuary had swung back and forward and a tall man dressed in a white suit, with a pony tail, sat in the back of the church!
Silence came over the church, as if you could have heard a pin drop! I then proceed to share with the congregation what took place Wednesday night and the telephone conversation between caller and me.
When I finished, the tall man dressed in white suit, with a pony tail, stood up and his face just glowed and he had the sweetest smile on his face.
In a sweet voice he said, “This preacher is telling the truth! This happened to my friend and I am here to testify to it! My friend got saved!”
He then walked out and the doors just swung back and forward! I could see, through the window the man getting on his bike and he sped off!
There was a tremendous feeling of joy and awe that swept over the congregation that day.
Even today, I will never forget this awesome experience of the visitation from God, the angel biker rider and the positive attitude that I had taken to produce an everlasting result.
Dear friends today are you going through a valley, a struggle deep within your soul, as an old hymn states,” Turn your eyes upon Jesus and look full into His wonderful face and the things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”Come to Jesus, today!
Love in Christ,
Eddie
