God does wonderful and unsearchable things. (Job 5:9) People who are in the path of darkness, unrighteousness, ignorance, violence…are transformed as Instruments of Righteousness by the Lord. (Romans 6:13)
Violence and jail
One young man called a pastor to come and pray for deliverance. He was working with a mafia that was involved in violence, riots, and kidnapping, and had gone to jail at least five times. But he came out on bail, and continued his unrighteous acts.
Unfaithful to his wife
Though he was married and had two sons. But he was in love with another girl from another caste, which is taboo and risky. When the girl’s family came to know this, they killed her as she was adamant on marrying him. Then the relatives of the girl were also seeking the opportunity to kill him.
Terrified and Tormented
He was afraid and slept with a weapon under his pillow. However, as he closed his eyes, he could see and hear his lover crying or calling him to come. His eyes were swollen due to a lack of sleep.
Prayer of a righteous
The pastor said, “I will pray, tonight you will have a sound sleep. I will stay with you.” God answered the prayer of a righteous person. (James 5:16) He had sound sleep after several months. In the morning, he wanted to become a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Run for life
Surrendering his weapon, he left the gang, but gang members were unhappy and wanted to kill him for betraying them. He had to run to another place and be in hiding for a few months, where he could grow in the Lord.
Bible translator
Then, an organization was looking for a bible translator in that person’s language, and he was trained. He reconciled with his wife and sons and is now doing the bible translation in his language.
Amazing Ways
God orchestrates the context of each person, allowing them to know the truth. Those who respond in faith reap eternal dividends.
Do I gratefully praise His leading in my life?
