I love a good story. Almost every day someone I haven't met before comes into my office to talk. Today I sat with a lovely East Indian lady and I asked her to tell me how she became a believer.
Jasmine told me that she came to Canada with her husband and both of them were followers of an Eastern religeon who worshipped 24 gods. One Sunday morning she came into the TV room and caught her husband watching a Christian show. It was an Oral Roberts Special. She told him that these TV Evangelists were fakes and only wanted their money so he'd better turn it off.
He refused and so she walked out of the room in a huff. As the program was ending Oral said that anyone who wanted to be healed simply had to receive, and through his prayer God would heal them. Jasmine had been very ill for a long time, but it seemed too simple to believe. Because she was in so much pain she did it. She placed her hand on her body and prayed along with Oral. And she was instantly healed! She could hardly believe what happened, and he wasn't even asking for money.
The very next week she turned him on again and his prayer was that God would supply the needs of anyone who prayed with him. Jasmine had being trying to get into a course for a job change for months and was told it would take more than a year more of waiting. But in faith she prayed to a God she didn't even know. The next day the school called her and told her there was room for her if she acted quickly. She enrolled that day and started working soon after! All of this happened before Jasmine was even a Christian, but because of her answered prayers, she and her husband soon believed in Jesus as their saviour.
