Jesus...what can i say about You?

so for anyone who doesn't know... i met this girl a few months back. she thinks she's a witch. that's not Christianese for a less polite word, i mean she is involved in witchcraft... one of the biggest vices here in the mission field we call carson city.

and you thought gambling and prostitution were our problems didn't you? haha.

but this girl... it's so obvious that she's trying so hard to be something she's not. she's not a pagan. she's a sweet, lost, dying girl.

and i've never in my life known more clearly than i did the moment i met her that i was face to face with a divine appointment. amazingly, i still screwed it up. i choked.

but God, being the amazing, merciful God that He is, placed her a second time in my path, months later, and this time i jumped at the opportunity. it's not often you get a second chance like that.

anyway... most of this is old news. but i got to hang out with her last night. and even though she's still so hardcore set on her beliefs (seemingly) i can see changes. it's like everytime i see her i get to minister to her a little more deeply. which is cool because i feel so inept most of the time. but the miracle, my friends, is in the hearer. never forget that.

and it would be easy to believe that someone like this could never be saved ... if you were an idiot. but i believe in a powerful God who's arm is not too short to save. a God who saved saul of tarsus and, possibly even more amazingly, who saved me.

and i know that He put her in my path for a reason. He has so clearly claimed her soul for His kingdom. the question now is not "if" but "when." she very much thinks she wants to go to hell but He will fight her every step of the way and i will plead the precious and powerful blood of Jesus over her life.

Jessi Davis you will live.

I dig! That's a good word! Speak in truth and obedience and leave the heavy lifting of conviction and convincing to the Holy Spirit, which speaks far more eloquently and forcefully in the quiet places of the heart than we ever could on our own power. Use the force!
