Btw the pic are not the guys in my story just give you an idea of what our transport looks like:)
So I guess when you ask God for something you better mean it when you ask. I always love the hardest of hearts and rebellious. I ask God to give me the darkest people because I am called to be Light to them. Well this particular day I was little more emotional during this time of the month..lol. And was still adjusting from leaving my last month. And I encountered this guy while I’m getting on a bus asking which bus this was. He was drinking and ya know being obnoxious like drunk people do and he wanted to buy me a drink. Then saying stupid stuff like there is a bomb under my seat. And people laughing. I started asking him if he had Jesus and so forth. He questioned me how I can believe in something I can’t see. I told Him how He changed me and that I know Him.
I get on the bus and honestly happy to just not have to deal with him. (Just being real and that my attitude was stinky!!) But Lo and Behold he gets on the bus!! Being the door opener and one that collects the money, and I just so happen to be sitting in the hotseat right behind him!!! Whaaa?? Well I get what I pray for!! This particular time I was a little more in the flesh. But I knew it was Holy Ghost set up!! The guy continues to challenge me on how I can believe in Jesus that you can’t see. I didn’t argue just continued to tell him that God is pursuing him. He started saying– ya know obnoxious drinking comments like “marry me.” While the whole bus was laughing. I told Him I was married to Jesus and I let him know not to hit on me. As he said some things in his language. I asked what he said. And someone said he said, “she’s strong!” So I amened it and said He makes me strong!!
He continued on and sounded like he was mocking me and I honestly began to feel humiliated, but continued to tell him God loves him and forgives him no matter what. As I felt humiliated I had a moment like get me “out of here” then I began to SEE Jesus as HE was humiliated beyond all humiliation and yet still said, “Father forgive them they know not what they do,” as they were crucifying Him!! I than said Father forgive him for he knows not what he does!! Immediately God’s compassion started wrecking me for this guy!!! He doesn’t know any better!! And even while we were enemies to God and rejecting Him, Christ died for us!! Jesus shed His blood for this guy!! Tears filled my eyes for this guy and I started praying in the spirit under my breath and pleading mercy for him. I suddenly wanted to just rest my hand on him and show him affection because I felt God’s affection for him, but I knew it was just the time to pray. The power of prayer is amazing!!! Shortly after he just shut up and sat quietly gazing out the window for the rest of the ride, even when I got off the bus he was respectful and as I walked up the street I hear him yell my name out the window and waving with a smile. I joyfully waved to him seeing him in a whole new light!! God’s Light, and Love!!! Perspective is everything!!!
Did I lead him to the Lord-nah, did I lay hands on him-nah, but I’m fully persuaded that he crossed my path so I can stand in the gap praying for this one acting in rebellion and show him the love and mercy of God!! And I so believe God is dealing with Him and that God’s goodness and kindness will lead him to repentance!

The people I have been around so far here have been a bit rude to the point that if your heart is not guarded it would be easy to take offense. So I have been praying for God to consume me with His compassion for these people and that I would see them through the cross and through the Love of Jesus. So as the guys on the streets continue to holler and laugh and sound like they are mocking I decided to march myself right up to them and talk to them about Jesus. Again they just don’t know any better. People are deceived, they are hurting, they just need the love and goodness of God to cause them to turn from their ways. It’s amazing how they change and straighten up when you start talking about Jesus.
I get in a mini-bus and trap myself in the front seat with this taxi driver. I start asking him if he knows Jesus. He said yes. However this nation professes to know God and denies Him with their actions. Everyone says they have Jesus in their heart, but you need to go deeper with them than that. I start sharing about walking with God everyday. He seemed like he was answering yes and listening, but then later he started asking me for my contact and I said, “I hope you are not hitting on me.” I proceeded to tell him it’s all about Jesus and getting in contact with Him. He saw my iPod and said I should give it to him as a gift. I said, “no way I got sermon after sermon on hear that I live off. I need to listen to the word constantly.” He wanted to hear so he hands me an aux cable and I plug it in and Todd White is just pretty much shouting the Word at us and declaring the price Jesus paid for us to walk like Him and what that has made us, and how much the Father loves us. So we are traveling on this mini bus pretty much public transportation with other people and Todd White is blaring— preaching the Word!! Believing those seeds were sown into his heart, and the few others that were on there!!
