Conviction to Speak

[ray]

Have you ever been convicted to share something in Bible study because God was telling you that what you share will effect someones life now in this room?

Well this happened to me in Bible study tonight. We were studying about Trust. God covicted to me share about the illustration of the "trust fall".

The trust fall is where your eyes are wide open and you put someone behind you to catch you.

We had just shred about the passage when someone fall that it is better that are paired with 2 or more people to help them back up when they fall. Sometimes it takes one person to catch us but it may take lots people to get us back on up the right track again.

When I shared this the very next person shared how did the trust fall but they did not trust the directions in how to fall so when they fell they fell wrong and the persons could not properly catch them and they fell to the ground instead of been gently let down.

I was amazed how God convicted me to share this so that person could than in turn share were their trust was.

Have you ever been convicted to share something and have an experience like this or am I just luck to be blessed to see this?

First, you are not LUCK sorry, but i don't belive in luck. You are being used by God and that IS a blessing!

I cannot say that i have ever had that happen, but i guess that i could say a few things similar to that. Let's see if this counts. At my lunch table, we were trying to witness to Andrew and tell him about the Lord(we hav eno idea what he belives) and we all got into this big argument. However, there were three people on the Lord's side. There was Rick, who knew the science; Daniel who knew the history; and i knew enough of the bible for the this conversation. HOwever, my friend Katie was disagreeing with everything we said and i didn't htink she would actually be arguing agaisnt the bible.

Well, she brought up the ten commandments and it turns out that sh ebasiclaly belived, that if it wasnt in the ten commandments it wasn't sin, and that you are saved by good works. The Lord used me that time at lunch to be able to show her from the bible that we are "saved thorugh grace by faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man shoudl boast."

SHe came back to me the first monday of December(a week later) and she told me that she was no longer depressed. I started talking to her and she told me that the night before, she accepted Christ into her life as her personal Lord and Savior. SHe said her aunt led her to the Lord at the side of her bed last night after their evening devotions.

I didn't see any link to what i had been telling her, until i asked her what changed her mind about salvation, and she told me that it was becasue of me. She said that she relized that she was on her way to hell beaseu what i todl her abotu works.

It wasn't me! it was all God, but God used me to be able to witness to her, and to have a good testimony which i wouldn't have had otherwise.

Does this count?

Sounds to me that God has blessed you with a word of knowledge, and I agree it is a blessing from God.
