[revival-fire] never give up......pray without ceasing

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

God is good.             I have a friend who accepted Christ's forgiveness last year but chose not follow in his ways.  She had awesome experiences with Him and knew His presence. She didn't want to give up her old way of life and her friends that went along with that life. But she still went to church here and there. For the past year I've been praying for this friend of mine. Each time I prayed for her, God revealed more and more of His love for her to me. I love this friend, but it wasn't my love, but Gods love for her that flowed through me. If God didn't reveal His love for her to me I probably would have given up on her, because my love (human love) can only go so far, but Gods love (supernatural love) has no end to it. He is so good. Last Wednesday we were at Denny's our favorite meeting place.  And like always we talked about God but this time it was different. This time she was really listening to what I was saying to her. She said to me, she was really considering living for God. She has said this before but something was different this time. She dropped me off at my house and then I followed her to her house in my car.  I walked into her house and saw her crying in her kitchen. She said she couldn't breath, at that point I knew it was God. She told me when she was in the car she said to God "I need you I cant do this by myself. I need to feel you." And nothing happened then once she got out of the car Gods presence fell on her. And then she asked me to follow her to her room because she needed help with something. She opened up her closet and pulled out a shoe boxes that had an ounce of marijuana. Once I saw that I started crying and getting high off my God. (not the weed Pastor Matt) We walked to the garbage can out side and she threw it all away. Right then something broke off of her and she fell to the ground in fetal position sobbing. I was jumping, running and praising God I couldn't stop praising Him. He is so good. I was so high off of Him and what He was doing for my friend. Praying for this for what seems a long time, and then seeing it happen was unbelievable. Then she took my hand and held it and I began to weep and couldn't stop. My God is good. She started deleting phone numbers and ripped her pot poster to tiny pieces. After this she tried to put on her make up but couldn't because God was on her so thick. Never give up on your friends and family, because if you pray, you will see God fall on them and redeem them. Your prayers do not go unheard from our God. He is a great God. He is the Redeemer. He is always with us and He is always working on hearts. Chrystina Pursell 1st yr RCSSM
