Something that has been interesting about India has been that each time that we pray for someone there is typically a condition. Like this one woman who told us that she would only except Christ as her savior if she was healed. Which we prayed for her and she did receive healing and then accepted Christ as her savior. And there have been many others who had that same idea that if God healed them then they would get saved.
There was this one day though where we went to a Hindu Village and did our door to door ministry. This day we started and it was a weird day, we sent to talk to the village leaders when we first arrived and the people where not receptive and I was ready to write off the day. But as we kept going people became more receptive, we got to see three women get healed and saved. After a while of walking around and being shown the village by a Christian in the village we start to walk down the last ally. There was this one woman that I got the chance to talk to. We got to talk about the Christmas story, getting to tell her about Jesus and tying the Gospel message into the story and she came to know Christ. It was so great to see her come to know Christ, but then came the most impressive thing in my mind and that was coolest was she didn’t ask for healing, she didn’t ask for anything. She took the Gospel message as it was and that was enough.
She was a huge challenge to me, cause think about it, how often do we tend to ask God for random things or tend to look at God for what he can do for us rather than just acknowledging who He is. That is what was so cool about this instance, God was enough, that was all she needed to trust in Him and like her I need to remember that He alone is all I need.
