Passing Ministry on the way to ministry

It was November 1st an early morning my roommate knocks on my door and ask "chepe going to prayer?" I quickly responded "No".I just came back from Connecticut and I really hadn't slept well in a while, so I just wanted to have some good sleep in, after all we have been praying for about maybe over four months. Mind you this prayer meeting is for the city of orlando amongst about 5 or 6 friends. After I heard my roommate shut the door and start his car, I just couldnt stop thinking if I had made the right choice. I julted up and decided to just go (was excited to shower because of new soap and shampoo it helped lol). On my way to 6am prayer I was parked at a red light and I notice a car on the side of the road and a young person looking like they needed help. So Light turnes green I press the gas and as I pass this young person I imediatly get convicted. I think of where im going and why I was going and thought how rediculous, how am I going to pass up an oportunity to help someone in the city of Orlando in need when im waking up for 6am prayer for the past few months asking God to show him self in ways where people cant deny the love of God. Here's my prayer in action! I do a quick U turn ask the guy "Hey need help" He said "well my car over heated" I invite him in the car (nervously, thinking if I can fight him if i needed to lol) and he seems a little nervous to and I asked him how old he was and he said 19 (The age I gave myself to the lord). We drove to the gas station so he could get what he needed and along the way This young man is saying he wants to be a motivational speaker. I can't help but know at this point this man has an assignment on his life and he's about to figure it out soon. I listen and listen (he's a talker, met his match lol) and after we get back to his car and its running he ask to go to denys. This stranger and I go to breakfast and he says "So where were you going" I said "6am prayer" then he ask "Why are you Christian" and i just share my life and why I decided to serve Jesus Christ. He wasn't sure if God existed but respected my story. I encourage him to go see a play that night at church about the real evil that goes on in life since holloween just passed. He was hesitant but said he would go. He actually went alone and enjoyed it and got to hear my pastor share his testimony at the end. The next day I asked what he thought he said he was inspired and that he didnt go to the alter because he realized there would have to be a change (pause) (another pause) wow! Yes he knew there was no more living the same from what the call was for. He asked to buy a bible, so we went next day to buy a bible and I told him to start reading the new testament. Imediatly in the car he opens and starts reading and preaching to me. lol He was amaized at what he was reading. Mind you he had not decided if God was real and if he was going to accept Christ. Thursday comes along and Im having starbucks with him letting him know "the only motivational speaking is that wich leads to christ" and he was thinking aobut it. It was a spiritual war! Sunday comes he goes to church, he enjoys the powerful testimony of my good friend June Gonzalez. The next tuesday November 9, 2010 he goes to www.boomtuesdaynights.com boom bible study. This night Carrie was sharing her testimony and included the story of Zakeuis, I walk in late because of work and I hear this voice and its him! This Dude is comparing his like to Zakeuis and breaking down the word in sections and say's "I feel like Zakeuis, when Jesus said come down because salvation comes to this house today" (pounding on his chest). Carries ask "Teomar do you want to accept Jesus" He says "Yes!" My jaw drops and they see me on the corner standing (I wasn't visible) and Carrie tells me to lead him to the Lord. All this goes to show is when you are praying for something and contending for it to happen dont miss it. I could of missed the very thing I have been praying for in the city. It may have delayed his break through. Days after I got to lead 2 more individuals to the Lord 1 being my brother after 6 years of praying. Take care of Gods business and he'll take care of yours.

A stranger became a friend then a brother in Christ.

I was gald to share what was shared with me November of 2005 at the age of 19 I accepted Christ. :) Best decicion I have EVER made and I gained so much more than I lost.
