The Man Whose Preaching Was Torture

Monday, April 26, 2021

A long time ago, I was doing a Bible study in which I had everybody pass around an anonymous prayer request. I received a request to pray for someone's relative to be saved. Right after that, I had a dream and saw a brother in the Lord that I knew witnessing to his father. He had his father stretched out on a rack and was whipping him while angrily preaching the Gospel. I told him about the dream and his face turned white because it was he who had written that prayer request. He had been witnessing to his father but in an unloving way by condemning and judging him and expecting a response. Messiah didn't come into the world to judge the world but to save it. If you judge, the Bible says that you're going to be judged. Instead, start praying and sharing the Gospel in love. The man who wanted his father saved stopped judging him and started sharing the Gospel with him in love, and he got saved! You're to do the same thing when dealing with the unsaved, because God did the same for you.
