Redeemed

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?”

– Jeremiah 32:27

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, Whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.

Psalm 107:2

Several years ago, I had the honor of speaking at the Westerville Area Resource Ministry’s (W.A.R.M.) annual Prayer breakfast. I was asked to simply, “Share your story.” The room was brimming with pastors and ministry leaders, as well as the mayor of Westerville. I was keenly aware that my only qualification to speak to the crowd before me was the Lord Jesus Christ and what He had so graciously accomplished in my life. No diplomas on the wall or letters after my name. So, with knees shaking but a heart bursting with gratitude, I stepped up and shared with authenticity, my story of His redemption, for a wretch like me.

My prayer was to do that in such a way that those much more “qualified” than I would be moved to worship the One who gave His life for each of us. To recognize that the ground is level at the foot of the Cross (to borrow from Billy Graham). That included those whose story is nothing like mine or those whose story paralleled my own. We are all in need of The Savior, Jesus Christ.

I am sharing this 20 min video with you today, because today, May 14th, marks the day I gave my life to Christ, 45 years ago.

It’s my continued prayer that the Holy Spirit uses it to to encourage those who are praying for someone who is far from Christ (can you say, hot-impossible-mess?) or if you yourself are that hot-impossible-mess. He is more than able to redeem and restore. Anyone. Never stop praying.
