Ron, yes...I think you know what we are talking about. it has to seem natural when you do it with someone and you have to be led completely by the Holy Spirit and be able to actually see their heart as you speak. Witnessing to their outside will never work. You have to let the Holy Spirit reveal what to day and do... I've related this but, I was headed to Wednesday nite service once a long time ago. As I was leaving the Holy Spirit said pick up that track in Spanish on my dresser. Well, i told the Holy Spirit.. "what do I need that for, for years on a Wednesday nite we went to church and no stops there or back. Zero chance of handing out a track in Spanish tract.....why do I need that?????" Well, I finally said after a few seconds..okay Holy Spirit and popped it in my front pocket. The family gets in the car, at the time I had my almost 90 yr old Grandmother and wife and couple of kids. My grandmother spent the last of her years rolling and rocking to Jesus in prayer and worship. She loved it.... Anyway, I'm almost there and I looked at the gas gage and we are below empty. I said, we gotta get gas and turned into the Gulf station. Gulf's were still around then. i walked to the office to give them the cash for the gas. As I ws walking into the office a family of 4 was walking around the corner of the station. They walked in front of the store door at the precise second that i was walking in. 5 seconds sooner or later and we would have never met. It was that timed since they didn't go into the store. Well, i had completely forgotten about the tract, but as I hit them the Holy Spirit said reach into your pocket and hand them the spanish tract. It was pretty obvious that they spoke no english. This is Houston and that's quite common. I know beyond a shaddow of doubt that that tract saved that family with it's message. There is no lack of timing on God's part about anything.... Praise God I listened and didn't let my pea little brain rule me on picking up that tract off the dresser.. Had plenty of english tracts but that was the only spanish one I had and it was handy. BUT!!!!!!!!!! Now do i ask God for this or Jesus or do I tell Jesus to ask the Holy Spirit or the Holy Spirit to ask Jesus to tell God in His spare time<ggggggg> God Bless.
