Spiritual Adventure Time is the best! What is it? Read on. 😊
A local told me about his spiritual adventure.
Mohammad had just become a Christian. He was concerned about whether he’d go to heaven or hell. So, he and a friend decided to have an all-night prayer vigil.
“’I asked the God,’ he told me, ‘Am I going to the heaven or the hell?’ God showed me a piece of paper and told me to fold the top corner down.”
As Mohammad told his story, he demonstrated.
“God said, ‘That represents the church.’ Next, He showed me to fold the other corner down.” Mohammad continued with his example.
“‘That’, God said, ‘represents the mountain.”
As Mohammad made 2 or 3 more folds, he explained that God had told him that a bird on top of the mountain was going to give him a message.
“Then, he said, God told me to cut the paper in half. Some fell to the left and some to the right.”
As Mohammad unfolded the pile on the left, he arranged it on a maroon towel. “In Arabic,” he said, “that spells al naar. It means the fire and that’s what we call hell! But, God said, ‘You are not going to hell because of that,’ and He pointed to the paper on the right.”
For a moment, he and I looked at each other. We didn’t move. Then he reached for the last bit of paper and unfolded . . . a cross! 😳
Let’s expect miracles, because “faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1, NLT).
Faith is one of your superpowers!
Go now in peace, wouldn’t that be nice, not only to hear it, but to experience it? I’ve got a Bible story for you about a woman who not only found healing, but that kind of peace, peace that doesn’t even make sense, peace that is possible for you, too. My body had bled for…
Are you hesitant to travel these days, you know, with COVID and everything else? Since I’ve been taking care of Dad, I’ve been grateful my schedule keeps me grounded. So, on Election Day, it was not my idea to get on a plane, but there I was on an adventure I hadn’t planned on. Hanging…
You’re alive for a reason. The God of the universe loves you and He has an amazing plan, way beyond what you can imagine! I wish we could sit down, not on a Zoom chat, but face-to-face, and you could tell me your plan to reach your destiny. Until I put the scenes of my…
With all that’s been going on, I don’t know about you, but I’ve been fried. Do you wake up every morning and remember what we’re going through all over again? It takes me a while to get in a good place. How do I do it? I know this sounds crazy, but I sing to…
What is it that causes you to grieve? Is it the loss of a loved one or another traumatic event? For me, the day that causes me to pause is February 22, the day I did not die. Since then, I’ve learned about grief with God. For a long while, every conversation led back to the…
Do You See What I See? In Jerusalem, things didn’t look the way I expected they would. It made me think, what if we could interview those who were there when Christ was born and see what they saw. What if we followed that star? While each movie or book tells the Christmas story with…
