hindu man doesn't want to believe UNTIL he gets healed!
During a church service, where I had just preached about demonstrating the Gospel before we preach it, a hindu man named "shiva" (which is the name of the hindu god of destruction) came to me for prayer for a chronic back condition.
I asked him if he was a hindu (the name was a bit of a give-away) and he said he was. I asked him if he wanted to follow Jesus. He said, "I want to be healed first, then I will believe". Somebody had been listening to my sermon!!!!
Long story short - I prayed and he was completely healed. I was able to compare the difference between Jesus - the God who heals and restores vs. his namesake - "shiva" who is a destroyer.
He didn't have very good English, but two Hindi-speakers were with us and I told them that they were now responsible for the "preaching" part.
Somebody said, "if you don't believe me, BELIEVE ON ACCOUNT OF THE WORKS". Who was that again? Oh yeh, Jesus!
