Element Church Insider

Here is a picture from my prayer journal.  A circled number means God answered that prayer in the way in which I asked.  I put an “x” through prayer requests in which God answers but not in the way in which I requested.  (By the way, that is still an answer!!)  On April 16 of 2008 I began praying for the salvation of a man who attends Element Church.  This guy was a GREAT guy through this whole process.  One of the most honest men I’ve met when it comes to his spiritual condition.  He admitted he was NOT a Christian.  He just had lots of questions.  LOTS of questions.  You could use the word skeptic.  I haven’t stopped praying for his salvation since April 16 of last year.  Over the course of the year I’ve had numerous conversations answering his questions as best I could.  I’d tell him, “Eventually you just have to dive in.”  Time would go on, he kept attending, even serving, and I’d answer more questions.  “How many questions will I have to answer?” I’d ask him.  “Eventually you just have to dive in.”  Following first service he walked up to me and we started talking about questions and concerns he had.  Again I said “Eventually you just have to dine in.”  He said “I did.”  I said “WHEN?  Recently?”  His reply….”Just now!”  WOW!  Total God moment.  Praise God.  I didn’t ask permission to share the story so didn’t include all the details or his name, but you know who you are and CONGRATULATIONS!  Heaven threw a big party for you yesterday!

Celebrating with Heaven,
