Gulf Arab muslim has his ankle over 90% healed and is close to the Kingdom after visitations (yes, visitation-s plural!)
Last night I met again with a man who has expressed a growing interest in following Jesus especially after two visions this week.
He has been studying the Bible and as we encouraged him to really "consider the cost" of following the Lord Jesus. I hadn't heard from him in a while and had been texting him sporadically to see where he was at and if he was ready to meet. I had heard nothing.
We had had an focused time of prayer for him two night before that God would really move on him to take more initiative. Then he responded to one of my texts and wanted to meet.
I knew he was injured as he had mentioned it in a message - he had sprained his ankle badly playing soccer. He had been on crutches and when I saw him his ankle was wrapped and he was limping with a cane. Before we talk about anything, I told him that I wanted to pray for his ankle. I laid my hand on it and prayed. Immediately something happened and he got up to check it out - he was somewhat shocked. He told me it was much better. We prayed two more times and it continued to improve. At the end I asked him how it was - 75% better. He said, "No, it's better than that - like 95% better!" I'll accept that willingly.
He had also had two visions in the past 3 days - the one that morning where Jesus Himself appeared to him, walking past him and turning to smile. He had explained that before he was going to meet me again or do anything else in terms of moving towards Christ, that he had asked the Lord "to appear" to him. He said that the vision he had had that very morning was a direct answer to that prayer.
I felt like the meaning of the vision was that Jesus was inviting him to come and follow Him. He agreed that that was the meaning.
His final words to me were, "I am now ready".
We will be meeting again soon to talk about how he can start that relationship with Christ.
very, very exciting to see someone come out of the darkness and begin to follow The Light of the World!
