We’ve said so many times that God uses the natural circumstances of our lives in order to bring about the spreading of the truth of His Word. Here’s a perfect example:

We arrived home from our trip to a dead water heater. We had to purchase a new one and have it installed. The water heater was quite old, so it was to be expected. The first thing we thought was, “What does the Lord have planned?.” We fully expected that we’d be sharing the Word of God with the installer when he came. Tyler was excited to hear the stories from our recent trip as he worked on the install, and he was surprised to learn things he’d never heard before about the Bible. By the time the job was done, he was really intrigued. As we walked him outside to his truck, we just asked him outright if he wanted to pray for the Holy Spirit. Tyler thought, “What have I got to lose?” He had never even opened a Bible before and he knew nothing about Jesus, but he was wanting to give God a chance to reveal Himself.

Tyler was really fervent when we prayed with him and he spoke in tongues fairly quickly. He said he felt it was all kind of surreal. He was then keen to follow through and get baptized in water when we told him what God’s Word requires. He actually told us that he remembered a feeling he got as he first pulled into our driveway. He felt very strongly that he was coming to our place for a reason beyond the hot water tank. Also, he said he had only just asked his wife about a week or two beforehand to buy him a Bible so he could start learning about it. For some reason he had just started to get curious about God. How’s that?! We love that! Tyler could clearly see how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together that night. Praise God!
