00:00
I wanted to know if there was more
00:04
than just telling people that
they shouldn't go to hell.
00:08
And so I asked God,
00:10
and God just led me out onto the street
00:12
and just said start praying for people.
00:14
My name's Sam and this is my story.
00:17
And we were praying for a guy and suddenly
00:21
he was just like God's not real,
00:24
And so I just said what's
wrong with your elbow?
00:28
And he took off his jacket
and he had just a massive scar
00:31
running all the way through his elbow
00:33
and he couldn't straighten it past here.
00:35
So, we put our hand on his elbow
00:39
and we just commanded in Jesus' name
00:41
commanded that it would be healed.
00:44
And he straightened it out to about here
00:47
having not been able to
straighten it from here
00:49
and he jumped back and he
was like what have you done,
00:52
How did you do that?
00:53
And we just said it's God.
00:55
Like we don't know,
00:56
we just bring God into a
situation and He just does stuff.
01:00
And then what excited me the most is
01:03
this guy that didn't believe in God,
01:06
who was saying God didn't exist,
01:08
he prayed for his own
elbow in Jesus' name.
01:11
I share my faith in Jesus
by just telling people
01:14
From what I learned of who I am,
01:17
it allows me to encourage
other people in who they are.
01:20
So, one of the guys in work just he wanted
01:24
significance in career,
01:26
so I would just tell him that
he was significant every day.
01:29
And just try to encourage
him in everything he did.
01:31
And I would just tell him
stories about what I was
01:33
doing out in the streets
just praying for people
01:36
and when he was on his own
he would really open up
01:39
and he'd be like tell me more,
01:41
I want to know more.
01:42
So, I prayed for him and just
asked the Holy Spirit to come
01:44
and he just kind of stood there.
01:47
And the next day I came back and he said,
01:50
"When you prayed for me
I didn't tell you but
01:52
"I just felt immense heat
just all over my body.
01:55
And he's like, "Is that normal?"
01:57
And I just was like well
I've heard it's normal
02:00
God has blurred the lines
that I used to have.
02:05
I used to have the thought that someone
02:08
that knew God and loved
God was somehow superior
02:12
to someone that hated God.
02:14
And God said, "No, I love them.
02:15
"And you disciple them because I love them
02:17
"not because they love me."
02:19
What I love about sharing my faith,
02:21
especially giving words of knowledge,
02:24
is that I have to be speaking to God.
02:27
One of the funnest questions I like to ask
02:30
is God show me your heart for them.
02:33
And through that prayer He reveals it
02:36
and ask and expect.
02:39
I expect God to speak because
God is a God that loves
02:43
and He loves to have
conversations with you.
02:46
He loves to hear your prayers
02:49
and He loves to respond.
02:51
So, not only do I pray more
but I expect and I listen more.
02:56
I haven't always been
confident in sharing my faith.
03:00
While I was in university
I would steer clear from it
03:03
unless it was really easy.
03:07
But since God has shown
me how significant I am
03:12
because of what He did for me.
03:15
It's not a case am I
confident in sharing my faith.
03:19
It's a case of it's too important not to.
