"I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase"... 1 Corinthians 3:6–7
We cannot really find an instance in the New Testament of anyone who came to faith apart from another person’s involvement. Although there are exceptions, it’s how most people become Christians... Take for example, the Philippian jailer. God could have reached him in many ways, but He chose to use Paul and Silas, who were imprisoned for preaching the gospel. They were mistreated by this jailer, but when an earthquake struck and the prisoners could have gone free, the jailer faced execution. Yet Paul and the others chose to stay in the prison.
The jailer asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved"? Acts 16:30
The Bible tells us that not only did the jailer come to faith, but so did his entire household. Yes, God uses people to reach people. But GOD IS THE ONE WHO SAVES THEM—NOT US. This seems rather obvious, but sometimes we forget it. GOD WILL PREPARE A PERSON'S HEART to hear and receive the gospel. He uses us, but HE IS THE ONE WHO DOES THE WORK...
In this clip I go into my prison history, being in the LA County Jail at the ripe age of 16, riots, being a suspect for murder and eventually being arrested for it... This next scripture really summarizes why I do what I do in our ministry and these interviews:
Jesus... said to him....“Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you"... Mark 5:19
LORD BLESS YOU ALL WITH HIS LOVE, MERCY, AND GRACE!!!
