Tom and I had many things to do on Sunday so we decided to go to the early service at church.
After church we had about one hour before our appointment so we had time to go to the gas station to fill up and stop for a cup of coffee.
When we got to the gas station it looked busy so we went for coffee first.
Returning to the gas station, every pump was in use so we had to wait.
Finally there was a pump free so as Tom pulled up, I got out to pump gas. (Tom has a harder time getting in and out of the car because of a bad knee)
We have a sign on the back of our window that says “DO YOU KNOW THE 3 THINGS GOD CANNOT DO?”
A man was at the next gas pump and asked, “Do you have a church?”
I replied, “No, but we do have a ministry that tells people how they can go to Heaven.”
After he asked a few more questions, I told him the “3 things.”
1. GOD CAN NOT LIE. 2. GOD CANNOT CHANGE 3. GOD CAN NOT LET ANYONE INTO HEAVEN UNLESS THEY ARE BORN AGAIN.
“Are you 50, 75 or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?”
He was not sure but wanted to be so as I explained how he needed to A. Admit he was a sinner, B. Jesus died on the cross for his sins and C. He needed to call on The Lord to save him.
I wanted Tom to pray with Emile, so I motioned for him to get out of the car as I asked, ” Would you be willing to call on The Lord with me right now?”
His answer was affirmative, so the 3 of us held hands and Tom led him in a prayer for salvation.
Emile was wonderfully saved.
He is a businessman who travels all over the world and his home country is the Ukraine. God brought him to that gas station at that time so he could hear the Gospel and be saved.
Psalms 37:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in his way.
